This is a slightly more in depth video looking around this vehicle; as this is the first time that we have seen something like this and thought it would be fun to share it all with you.

We will do more videos at a later date as we do the repairs on the vehicle and take it for a full test drive but as most of you know we have to focus on the FV4005 project with the Tank Museum which will be our main focus over the next few weeks. Please see the the links below for that project and more information as well as links to some other channels that I watch.


TOPICS: Military/Veterans
KEYWORDS: military; russia; t72
riding a T-72 is more like a punishment tour than anything else, damn...

I’ve heard that Ukraine has more operational T 72 tanks than Russia at present

Songs of tankfulness and praise
Warsaw Pact, to thee we raise
manifest by the Red star
to the Soviets from afar,
Marx and Lenin’s legend still,
Built in Nizhny Tagil.
Anthems be to thee addressed,
Rus in tank made manifest.

(with apologies to Christopher Wordsworth)

Amazing machine but often wondered which tank is the most comfortable if any? Also like that tank, just how claustrophobic some of those are.

I was down in Palm Desert a million years ago and seem to remember an exercise where they slam rounds at tankers for training? Or so the brass told me.

Just questions. I don’t know a thing about tanks except playing them in War Thunder.

Not nearly fabulous enough for the new US trans soldiers. Gonna have to paint and decorate it with pink and purple sparkly unicorns.

His regular crew was passed out drunk. He had to bring his wife.

There used to be a height limit for tankers there
