Russian T70 pulled from a marsh

[Metallica1071991]

I want to go tank hunting!

[Lumotaku]

apperently these are everywhere in russia



[MegaKillermove]

it looks like a t-127

[deadlus16]

@MegaKillermove Thats a T-70 the turret is offset while the t-127 has a centered turret

[1zyna]

MACHETOU TWOJA MATHER PIJANA JAK CIE RODZIC A NZAMIAST KIILING YOU

[86zboss]

How do they find these things lol they are in the middle of no where under 4+ feet of mud!!

[Hatinonthehaters]

well start that bitch up already!

[timmytyphoon]

Tracks turn freely and the turret traverse still works. I bet it doesnt take that much work to get it going again.

[bradfordlad9999]

them cat bulldozers sound sweet

[Squarerig]

Thank goodness;WWIII can now begin!

[machetou]

tank driver was drunk when he got stuck in the marsh land.

[flightdeckreviews]

@machetou most presumidly on vodka? :P

[Hatinonthehaters]

@machetou you are unbelievably corny as fuck.... that stereotype is so played out.

[savamano]

@machetou It's marsh everywhere for hundreds of miles, no need to be drunk even

[TheCookiemonster1822]

hitler was once quoted as saying, "If i had known Russia had so many tanks i wouldn't have invaded" somthing along those lines.

[TheCookiemonster1822]

makes you wonder how many other war relics are out there in this world and not in mueseums

[TheFflynnie]

brave or stupid camera man, if that cable had snapped.

[StormryderCB900f]

this is awesome !!!! thanks

[obbis44]

The cannon looks like either a 45mm or 50mm. They will probably disassemble the thing to clean it. That tank will probably need allot of work before it is fit to drive again.

[mxy999]

I've been watching your videos on tank recovery, and the condition of these tanks is just amazing! The treads are still rolling after being buried in mud for 50+ years!

[redreaper2020]

knowing old russian tanks, they could wipe it off and drive home...

[GanjaFarmerPew]

Tank Pulling Out Lvl: Russian!

[McCawley07]

That is amazing though. Tracks still are good.

[Xpayne1]

Interesting how many more stuff from ww2 is under grass!

[Koteika2012]

юг) там до сих пор про янки песни поют, я читал что на юге флаг конфедератов, до сих везде висит, как флаг Боты в ЮАР) но в ЮАр они хоть воевали.

[GUNBUNNY2BG4U]

@Koteika2012 what?

[Koteika2012]

украинцы тоже на понимают сасшех

[pballmikek]

WOW. so you can like work on the engine a lil and then load her up and she will shoot and drive... love it

[YambidiBlamBlam]

T 70? Was there such a thing? It couldn't be that high of a number because that is definitely a WW2 era tank, and if you look at the T-54's and T-62's from later on you will see how the general shape has changed, so you wold expect the T-70 to look more like a T-72.

[GUNBUNNY2BG4U]

I THINK ITS A T30 not a t 70

[GUNBUNNY2BG4U]

WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS TANK BEING PULLED FROM

[Ra87911]

@GUNBUNNY2BG4U Russia

[GUNBUNNY2BG4U]

@Ra87911 COOL. its weird how mud can preserve metal to the point that the track can still turn over after 60+ years

[YoughMama]

What is it with russians and power washers? It's mud those power washers probably take off half the paint with the mud.

[xXCREEKSTARXx]

Try putting a modern tank in the mud for 60 years...they would never be able to roll again, i tihnk.

Those WW2 machines were true engineering at its best back then...

[TrainGuy33]

And To Think These Are Sitting In Our Backyard

[DeathScytheBR]

Born like a Uruk-Hai

[plumbstraight]

While stationed in Baumholder Germany we were on duty in grafenwoer and a 109 got stuck in the mud. The tracks were throughing sparks. When we got the 109 out did a bit of digging and found a Sherman with an engineer blade on it. Was in great shape. Turret and gun was easily moved, tracks like new. Water freezing had broken most of the guages, but it was beautiful

[MoizeProdigy]

this tank is nice condition!

[whitedragon1204]

omg its the leopard from world of tanks

[ZinXlX]

russian engineering ! tough, simple, and durable.

[poetlorryit]

amazed that them tracks and wheels still turn after all those years

[alanbukuk]

How do they come across these in the first place? I saw another superb video on YT in which they pulled out an undamaged German STuG III from a bog, almost pristine condition, still with its winter camouflage whitewash and Wehrmacht decalls. Is this a systematic state-supported effort or just knowledgeable (or lucky) private individuals searching these treasures out? Amazing, and extremely interesting. Thanks for the upload.

[paulvolio]

The cavalier way they disarm these finds disturbs me greatly..

[beardo52]

@paulvolio The main gun ammo that is explosive is pretty safe to handle, the fuses are not armed, so should be no more hazardous than when it was new. The machine gun magazines (the round things) are safe as can be to handle, as long as no one pitches them into a fire.

[rawhemi]

Good as new!

[qeppe123]

how the f*ck do he get in that... O_o

[F4Wildcat]

the best part about these russian tanks

some WD40, some TLC, some fuel and that thing DRIVES

[bv141a]

don't the Russians make rugged stuff

[Nebworth1986]

"Father, there is tank in back yard again, shall I get the gun?" "No, my son, it will leave on it's own"

[barry8472]

A bit of petrol or diesle and i bet it would start

[IonOtter]

@barry8472 That's more true than you may realize. Bogs are excellent at preserving stuff. There's no oxygen down there, so nothing decays or rusts.

[JavaLuCpp]

OMG what a beast. Every thing still turns and rolls. I wounder if the engine will start. lol kd

[Falke40lg]

Was würde mit diesem Panzer gemacht?Ich hoffe doch er wurde restauriert, der ist ja dank des Sumpfes noch in hervorragender Qualität.

Ich denke in russlands Sümpfen werden noch einige Panzer sein, auch Deutsche!

[Yurmancheg]

это т34

[kennysandhoj]

Must be such a wonderful feeling pulling these fantastic machines out of their grave and being able to restore them into working condition. This tank look completely untouched by time!

[Dumdass88]

i'am going to russia

[chrisrusso100]

How do people even find this stuff?

[crmerlin]

The torred is moving...incredible !!

[MrLasicak]

Russian tanks work in every conditions ... 60 years after the war...buried 5m in a mud... :-) Interesting piece of machinery. Hope no one lost his life in it.

[GARILLA66]

Молодцы мужики . СЛАВА ПОБЕДИТЕЛЯМ !!!

[xeniosaias]

bodies still inside :)

[MentalStorm1974]

@xeniosaias Maybe, it's rather typical situation. Are you sure it's funny?

[xeniosaias]

@MentalStorm1974 definetely not, but I assumed there were not any bodies there since its not mentioned. Where there?

[foughtwolf]

@xeniosaias

It got bogged down, not sunk. Odds are it got stuck, and abandoned, and sometime later sank into the mud.

[Explorerclass84]

Just beautiful :)

[nequ47]

maybe a T-26

[marillion2]

It's too small for a T34.

[therealsatan]

looks like a T34 to me.

[yottson]

@therealsatan No, it is not T34. It is T70.

[therealsatan]

@yottson Sorry, you're right. Just looked it up.

[cruss01]

A D11R would pull that right out real easy!

[thegreatchimp]

Surprising that the treads and wheels / rollers aren't rusted stiff after 60 years...

[claytonius3]

@thegreatchimp probably very low oxygen in all that mud, tough to rust.

[thegreatchimp]

@claytonius3 That makes sense-for the same reason that human remains in bogs are very well preserved.

[vormanator]

@claytonius3 A TRUE TIME MACHINE.. :-)

[theblacksheep1000]

THAT is cool as hell! I bet it would start right up too!

[akjunkie]

Awesome. NO battle damage. Gonna be a relatively "easy" restoration.

[MrM4ttyf]

love how they can just chuck what was live ammo on the ground had this been england it would of required police army bomb squad lol keep up the good work guys

[1979ascona]

I´m swedish, and, a car mechanical....i am amazed ovet that the track, the "band" feet of the tank, still will move, also the tower with it´s canon...this was not made without a exellent mind, to last....my big respect to u, who built these machines, and those who rescuved them, how ever they now found them...Thomas :o)

[pogpog28]

When that cable snaps...

[SUNSETRETREATSXM]

Amazing!

[seelor65]

Ещё раз подтверждается истина - НАШИ ТАНКИ ГРЯЗИ НЕ БОЯТСЯ!

[wjp255]

Awesome video.

[Mineav]

Ironically, it's all that mud that kept it such great condition, by limiting exposure to constant cycles of rain and the oxygen in the air, which would've rusted that sucker out in 10-20 years or so. Instead, that will be comparably easy to restore. Very cool.

[scudwerfer]

wow perfect condition,...uuuh maby a litlle bit rust but no electrical systems that could break ( exept the light:-)

[AKcharger]

The treads turn and turret rotates...amazing!

[Terminator276]

It makes me happy that these amazing historical relics have been found after so many years

[WitheredAnge1]

Those submerged tanks were so well preserved because there is very little oxygen under water. Oxygen is what makes metals rust.

[vostroya15]

That ladies and gentlemen is Russian engineering

[davetileguy]

@vostroya15 oh please,because it's in a low oxy environment that's great Russian engineering???

[palangera]

@davetileguy I think it was sarcasm?

[davetileguy]

@palangera On youtube you never know.

[davetileguy]

@vostroya15 Russian cars and airliners great "engineering" who made that Bullozer?

[Kiwigrunt]

Remarkably well preserved, good find!

[2brokenbones]

The russians were using the drum mag in there light machine guns from the early 1900s to about 1946 1947 before they moved over to the easy to load belt method . Though the drum mag did come back into use in the RPD , it wasnt really used much

[hullchipper]

its a russian RPD light machine gun magazine found a video clip here on you tube with the same clip on magazines

[iwuvoreos]

i saw another video with a russian t 34 that had those cylinder things inside it are those land mines?

[IzoOnTheRocks]

@iwuvoreos I belive they are magazines for some sort of machine gun. 

[Gjldo]

@iwuvoreos those are the mags for the 2 onbord DT machineguns (a modified version of the DP series machine guns optimized to be fitted in armored veicles)

[marillion2]

I can't believe the condition of the tanks in these videos!

[MrNelsonb2]

@marillion2 i know it looks like someone swamped it and let it sat for a few months im sure the russkies have some parts laying around the junk yard for it if i was their id try to make it drivable

[raspberrybaggio]

u have the best job in the world !

[berylak47]

That is so freaking cool. I would love to be in on a recovery op like that.

[subzero92MK]

@berylak47 me too man

[4shacks1house]

That thing is near mint!!. Good thing it was left in neuteral gear.

[PerusTero]

Yes, you are right. For closer looking they can be magazines of Degtyaryov's infantry machine gun or at least I assume they are. older version had these kind of bigger magazines and newer modernized version had little slimmer magazine. They maybe had one of these machineguns top of tank so sammyLBusby was right =)

[PerusTero]

[PerusTero]

they are magazines for ppsh-41 submachinegun.

[Olinolan190]

@PerusTero

Not really, lots of russians weapons had these magazines to feed them the bullets..

[PerusTero]

they are magazines for ppsh-41 submachinegun.

[PJ3love]

awesome, just bought this as a kit

[SammyLBusby]

Those arent mines. They are ammo containers for the tanks machine guns

[foxmotors1]

not smokin the tires, but smokin the tracks

[BOMBCRU2]

No oxygen = no rust

Not very smart of them to be throwing the mines and grenades around like that, old ammunitions are very volatile

[PJ3love]

@BOMBCRU2 are they not drum magazines for the co ax mg??

[Inferalanding]

How were they able to move the turret and gun on a dead tank? Hard to believe the wheels weren't rusted in place!

[custer870]

Remarkable the condition of the tank. It is in amazing shape considering being submerged in mud and muck for so long. i wonder whether the ammo was still live, i would love to see what became of the finds? Keep up the good work.

[Dreachon]

How did they manage to find this old tank, I can't see a thing in those bushes.
