WW2 Russian KV-1 Tank Recovery

[rmcnnlly]

One thing I've noticed with Russians in dealing with old munitions. They are complete "clods". Just like they were sent to clear minefields on orders from their Kommisars. I guess wars are won on stupidity forced upon them by masters? God Help Us!

[kempouk]

BOOM!!!

[600joe]

Best tank recovery video on Youtube.

[makinjica]

And in god shape it is!! Amazing...!!

[BroderElg]

Just drain the engine of water and a bottle of vodka in the gas tank, and off u go

[hatakashi1900]

Maybe later a complete King Tiger speciment could be discovered and salvaged

[thejadedslave]

Condition of the tank and its contents was amazing all things considered. Can they restore it to working condition?

[McSpizzy]

Welcome to Russia, where the vodka is devine, and you can find a tank in every body of water!

[galenator123]

1:05 that guy is ripping a huge ass tank out of the ground and what does he wear? mittens!

[TheCookiemonster1822]

i wonder how many tanks from that era have been discovered.

[MyYrbas]

Да реликвия много за неё взять можно, но в музей только в музей пусть предки смотрят на эхо войны!!!!

[routhoula]

i wouldn't be surprised if it actually started after some service :P

[UnnamedThinker]

Awesome. I love anything to do with the soviets and WW2

[RadekBoktor]

@UnnamedThinker Why? Stalin was just as bad as Hitler...

[BroderElg]

@RadekBoktor History is written by the victors

[RadekBoktor]

@BroderElg Which explains the blank pages in French history books.

[88pie88]

i bet if they fouund the keys they could drive that baby right into a ramp.

[daniltv1]

haha i remember this song, i miss Russia

[connor2743]

Your note suppose to drive in rivers with tanks

[TrainGuy33]

Now We Take It, Fix Then Attack Again!

[s1914]

Fascinating

[firglenchainsaws]

Good to see it taken away by MAZ 537! That would turn some heads going past!

[MrDasWeener]

Because of world of tanks...I HATE the KV......

[NearAbbeyRoad]

It looks in good condition. How did the tank end up in the river?

[totalvvar]

@NearAbbeyRoad russian drivers

[jackson77dt]

Its Russian hardware, put some fuel in and fire it back up!

[mark24875218]

Thats Great ! need to find more German Tanks tho.

[XPEH999]

@Vanyaaynav то железо за исключением некоторых машин что в кубинке находятся никогда не поедет

[chainedtoaradiator]

when will a tiger tank be found?

[crazypete44]

i love how these are preserved

[valcerfabri]

1:40 - WTF ??

[Urzhum]

Гвоздичка в стволе пулемёта смотрится круто!!!! Миру мир!!!! Войны не нужно!!!!!

[destroyer1ism]

Just a few yeas ago, they discvered an FW190-D , and a Stuka in the Ukraine. A few years a go they discovered a hugh cache of Gernaman ammunition in a isolated forest in France.

There was a society that wuld go to the Ardennes and find battle fields untouched. But there were a lot of booby traps.

I think the Pacific is timming with wrecks, but they are hard to get to and get expensive to retrive.

Most goverments in the Pacific forbid retrieval of war relics.

[Collinffs]

pfff stock turret

[ColonialWarrior]

I just bought a 1/ 16th scale Henglong KV-1 and thought I would do some research, Great video!

[Ivlad888]

Я тоже танк найти хочу )))

[Robert111]

Incredible stuff!

[Wiktormotra]

Good job with the recovery. I hope they'll restore it to running order, even if they'll have to replace some elements or even the whole engine. But hey, it's a Russian vehicle. They don't break down unless someone damages them deliberately.

[vlamnire]

Must have fell in when the lake melted.

[destroyer1ism]

It's amazing all the war wrecks that are still hidden away from the scrappeers. They burn't all the Jap aircraft, deatroyed all the german aircraft, and cleaned up all the tanks in Europe. Just think all that valuable history destroyed by a blowtorch. They shoud have at least saved a few of each !

But in eastern Europe I think, because of the dense forest, and numerous lakes , there is still plenty of stuff to find. Just like in the isolated areas of the Pacific !

[nolifemerc]

@destroyer1ism same here in Norway ;germany had over 400 000 men here in May 45, all the tanks and airplanes where melted for the metal, all the guns was used for hunting moose later do.

[SMGJohn]

Probably still works!

[thegoosebrain]

To bad it wasn't a Tiger or Panther.

[Ratti666]

@thegoosebrain why ?

[thegoosebrain]

@Ratti666 Because there is only 1 running Tiger on display in the West and two running Panthers. They are extremely rare.

[Ratti666]

@thegoosebrain Please tell me where I can see a running KV-1... I can't find recent movies from it

[thegoosebrain]

@Ratti666 Try the USSR, Ratti. Oh...and try watching a Russian-made WW2 movie and you'll see more vintage WW2 Russian tanks and assault guns than you've ever seen in your life. Many remain the the USSR. The problem is no such Russian movies are on US TV. Try youtube. I've seen many Russian made WW2 movies on here and they have many KV1's in them. So many in fact that they actually blow some up. That tells you they have many to spare.

[Krazyivandee]

Actually it was on a raft being transported across the river. The raft took an artillery hit and sank with the tank still on it. The crew had time to escape.

[hennep1984]

very nice recovery .nice stuff but it must be a dangerous job.

[4x86]

This tank is in the museum break the blockade of Leningrad, the tank on the move.

[Burco1]

Live hand grenades recovered! Amazing. I imagine this tank can be restored and put on display?

[megatwingo]

Again an excellent video from you. Even the music is fitting formidable to the video. Something that isn´t often to find on YouTube war videos.

Thumbs up!
