T 34-85 Russian Tank at Bovington Tankfest 2008 with Polish eagle Polska

[bibik1151]

На Т-43 очень похож.

[x2pioner]

Its not russian tank!Its Ukrainian tank!This is great tank was create in Kharkiv!

[Sunder61]

The only part of a T34 that has any relation to US Tech is the suspension.

[OHNGAI]

@garden2011city US technology?...then why did the germans base the panther on their encounters of the t-34,or why it took the british 17 pounder to make the sherman something other than a target,or why do the abrams use a reinmettal [german] 120mm smoothbore main gun,the m60 and m240 are based on the mg42,USA is the wests version of china,copies everyone else then claims as their own.

[garden2011city]

T-34 another example how our american technology saved the world from Hitler...

[serg7ify]

@garden2011city what are talking you about? t 34 has got NOTHING to do with the US it is an authentic RUSSIAN MASTERPIECE .The US have already" saved" the world in Serbia,Iraq,Libia etc.You would rather save the world from yourselves.

[enriquepasa]

@serg7ify US did nearly NOTHING in WWII...just were afraid of Soviet power so that's the main reason why they interfere into war

[bohun28]

@enriquepasa

Sure, the millions of tonnes of supplies they sent to the USSR via the North Sea is "nothing" indeed!! Historical estimates suggest that without these supplies the USSR would not have survived the Nazi attack!!

[TalonMercenary]

@garden2011city T34 was RUSSIAN NOT AMERICAN, and it was twice the tank the Sherman ever was

[enriquepasa]

@TalonMercenary sherman is no match for T-34/85 in firepower and reliability

[NewSoviet507]

@TalonMercenary yep but the Sherman is always going to be #3 in medium tanks of ww2

[BorisD1992]

@garden2011city America wishes it could make a tank as good as a t34. I think that a T-34 with an 85mm can take out that piece of shit M1 abrams you yanks have. and the only thing america did in ww2 Europe was to provide targets for the german MG's

Это же Т-34-85, а не просто Т-34!

Не зря же я в WoT играл! - шутка.

[Dedoelker]

@MulltyBoy

Спасибо за информацию

[MulltyBoy]

@Dedoelker Хех)

[BorisD1992]

@MulltyBoy because some people consider the T-34 as the first model with the smaller gun. this was the newer model with the bigger gun. :)

[MulltyBoy]

@BorisD1992 I know. That's why I wrote that it was T-34-85.

[Artem1Artem1983]

@MulltyBoy

Обалдеть. ты танк узнал только благодаря игре которая вышла 1 год назад примерно.МДАААА,,,,,,

[MulltyBoy]

@Artem1Artem1983 Что-то ты не догоняешь,чувак.

@nap1939

You are right - I used a tripod! :-)

[geterdonein01]

I wish they did this kind of thing in America. This would be one heck of a cool show.

[BorisD1992]

@geterdonein01 think how much it would cost to get that amount of operational tanks on the field and have double the number of tanks indoor dating back to world war 1 for display.

[perfuzz]

Isn't that a T34-85..? Anyhow I feel like opening fire with my 88 pak-gun.

[ScoopzyDaizy]

that's the upgraded version of the t34, with the 85 mm cannon. T34-85.

[Aaidas2]

Would love to see these babys go full speed charging :D

[chineseguy15]

pretty sure thats a t34-85, considering it's turret.

[mullahh]

@chineseguy15 yeah thats a 85



[idzi1910]

Polish post-war production model .

[kawasaki228]

is this turning Octoberfest? xD

[HermannRattenhuber]

Watching and listening to a T-34 is very frightening.

[myszucha]

Polish eagle!!!! POLSKA PANY

[Antonioxx81]

I cant speak one single bit of russian at all but i agree with what ever prokurator199 said hahaha :D

[ComradeFlorian31]

that's a T-34/85. It was a good tank but I like the T-34/76 better, especially the 1940 model, it was a much more aerodinamic design

[TheFlyingPineapple]

@ComradeFlorian31 why do aerodinamics matter? It's a tank!

[ComradeFlorian31]

@TheFlyingPineapple it's a tank all right but i still think the T-34/76 looked much better than the T-34/85, although the T-34/85 clearly ouperformed it.

[TheFlyingPineapple]

@ComradeFlorian31 i agree, the 76 looked much more streamlined.

[stasian73]

это не Т-34, а его модификация, скорее всего 34-85. У 34 баки были в корпусе спрятаны, и башня другой конструкции.

[Urzhum]

@stasian73 Это маршевые баки снаружи, боевые спрятаны под бронёй. Всё в порядке.

[blackmetalofnorway1]

is that the same tank that was pulled out of the mud hole?

[kompaniawilkowbl]

o polski :D

[olegarxus]

germans hated that t-34 rollin nise D

[drwebx]

Лучший средний танк того времени!!!!

[danthehitman741]

@maidenfan97 yOU aRE ABSOLUTELY right!!!

[oleg1ification]

Ты лучший дедулька, просто лучший!

[MrSEA1963]

@oleg1ification ну на дедульку он никак не похож!!!!

[oleg1ification]

@MrSEA1963

Почему же? Вроде как Т-34-85

год 1944-45 итого 65 лет :-)

[prokurator199]

Это Т-34-85(85-мм орудие- это ответ "Тигровским" 8 8. Баки дополнительные наружные использовались только на марше... Танк 44-45-го года выпуска. Судя по гербу на башне, входил в состав танковых подразделений Войска Польского. 

[tornacl47]

T-34 is such a bad ass tank

[mjufpn]

solong traffic jams!

OMG!!! finally a vid where the camera man can hold the damn camera steady!!!

[Dedoelker]

@machinegunboy98

Thank you! :-)

[machinegunboy98]

@Dedoelker lol... i'm just pissed at the people who hold cameras like there's a 200 mph tornado going on, when there's absolutely no wind at all...

[hannigan06]

Not much to look at. Like a man with a big head and little body. But it got it done. An as anyone in the military thats all that matters.

[zmihaie]

this is a T-34-85 model

[roadstarman58]

sounds like it's got a burnt exhaust valve! At least it still runs after however many years. Best overall tank design combining armor. modility, and firepower. Not to mention, they made LOTS of them. A llittle top heavy with the bigger turret for the 85mm gun, but enough firepower to take on a Tiger 1.

[markos1388]

doesnt bruce dickinson of iron maiden have a t34?

[eaglet888]

I wonder what is MPG for that tank :D still probably the best tank in WWII... Well done Soviet Union !

[aLmostaraC]

"Erst mit Panther und Tiger gleichwertige deutsche Panzer bzgl. Panzerung und Feuerkraft."

[Mandrak789]

gotta love that diesel engine sound

[SuperEzekial99]

ah,a t-34 soviet tank good tank,good tank 

[916ppl]

@SuperEzekial99 Nan. Soviet made it but a American designed the original T-34.

[SuperEzekial99]

@916ppl oh really? thats good to know, thanks :)

[Cosmin1511]

@SuperEzekial99

An american designed the suspension system that was used on the T34 . Its called a Christie suspension and was developed by Walter Christie , an american in the late 1920s . But the T34 was an all russian design , 100% .

[CommieCat]

@Cosmin1511 Even so the suspension was modified from Christie's original version.

[XaHyMaH]

@916ppl BS! T-34 was designed by Koshkin. Americans designed Sherman - it was totally ussless against any German tank

[MC68EC040]

@916ppl That's an amazing number of statements inconsistent with anything I have read or can find on the matter. Do you have sources or did you just feel like making some stuff up this day?

[REDTROOP44]

The Germans may have made the 'best' tanks in WW2, but the Russians made the ones you would want to take into battle.

[pereel83]

this one is Polish can see eagle on its side

[REDTROOP44]

I love the fact that even in full working order it belches smoke and sounds like it's fulling apart. LOL

[83ls]

@REDTROOP44

And yet after over 60 years it still works. If you listen to that V12 Diesel rumble, it sounds like one of those machines from Terminator movies. That tap,tap,tap sound are the tracks. And the smoke came in handy for camouflage. In fact, German V12 petrol engines lasted about half as long as these V12 Diesels, before failure.

[historyman1944]

@REDTROOP44 I agree that sound is music to any person who love WW2 history. The russians didnt built for comfort they built for speed of production and ease thats why they built so many of these things. God couldnt build as many tanks.

[Suppenschuh]

wär toll wenn er geschossen hätte ):

[morbidangelofdeath1]

i would give almost anything to ride in one of these

[rusbp]

WOJSKO POLSKIE!!!

T-34 is a best tank!!!

[CollinDWalkerw]

hmmwenn jemand sich um mich kümmern würde wäre ich glücklich^^ bin so einsam

[scottduncan44]

The Soviet Union has minimized the amount of lend lease that made the T34/85 , . IT was the 43000+ American radio's sets that finally allowed the Soviets to include radio's in their tanks. Also to use combined arms with radio's connecting the air forces, artillery, armor and infantry.Also it was The American and British Lend Lease armored vehicles that allowed them to learn how to use radio's and the 3 man turret.

[smolVAD]

@scottduncan44 On ours tank was our radio! Don't say lie!

[scottduncan44]

@smolVAD first don't call people liers when you are obviously to lazy to do the reseach. lendlease was critical to the SSoviets in 1941 and 1942.The Soviets had a shortage of Radio's, Trucks, Tanks and food. It was England and the US who filled the gap until the Soviets rebuilt their factories

[smolVAD]

@scottduncan44 As first I know what I talking, and know about lendlease. On soviet tank T-34-76 1941 was soviet radio 71-TK on later version of tank mod 1943 was radio 71-TK-1. On such tanks another's radio was never established. Tanks were or radio or linear. I talked to veterans of war on them and I precisely know about what I speak.

[RazorPL01]

it's got polish markings :)

[vuikenshtein]

@RazorPL01 what kind of tanks does Polish army use now?

[RazorPL01]

@vuikenshtein

PT-91 'Hard', T-72, Leopard 2 A4

[RifledBarrel]

the Tiger I snacked on T-34's

[DavidVanPatten]

Maybe thats because the tiger was more than 20 tons heavier than the t34 had a bigger gun?

[warrat300]

@DavidVanPatten And it sank in land like an axe sinks in a river, buddy! Tigers are the stupidest design ever! They look like a bunch of mashed up metal cubes, 3 y_old kids do better drawings! Russian armour was thinner, but was deflective, so it came out to same/better results as german armour.

[DavidVanPatten]

@warrat300

Thats true. In the past I was a firm believer that German tanks were the best. Well, the whole mythology that surrounds these tanks is based on the absence of explanations for their immense success. But as far as tank design is concerned only the Panther is remarkable. The Tiger was a fearsome machine no doubt, but if you can only produce around 1300 pieces in 2 years whereas your enemy produces around 20000 in the same time (only the t 34!) well you do the math..

[snapywrist]

look like ran away tanks very scary.

[scottduncan44]

This is the later T-34 85 it was introduced, with a more powerful 85 mm gun and a three-man turret design in early 1944. They also had lend lease American radio's.These tanks were produced en mass and flooded the German forces at the end of the war. They were comparable to the American M4A3E8 and British Comet. When they faced the American and British tanks in korea they had little mechanical advantage most encounters coming down to tactics and crew quality.

[PChord1]

T-34 could outmaneuvre any German tank. Revolutionary suspension system, transmission and sloped armour had the Germans crapping in their jackboots.

[Direwolf13PS3]

the suspension was actually designed by a man from America whose ideas were rejected a certain J. Walter Christie. The Russians simply used his designs

[PChord1]

That's right although Christie did try to sell it to The US military but they weren't interested at the time. The Russians thought otherwise....:-)

[dulle3000]

lol!

mr. porsche developed some tanks(tiger, king tiger and panther) with the most combat strength in wwII

by the way: lot of the t34 crews has been konw of mass raist in the battel of germany:

[PChord1]

Yes, I know the Tiger and King Tiger were nothing more than the famous 88mm surrounded by lots of armour, but the T-34 was built in numbers and was much more maneuverable and faster than anything the Germans had and it had a very powerful 76mm gun also which outgunned most German tanks at the time.

[4everUSNavy]

yeah real powerful.

not, you know there was reports that Tiger tanks had to be hit more than once by the small 76mm.

in fact one Tiger was hit over 200X. it was not operational as a tank, but it limped 40 miles back to the german lines. No im not making this up. I read about it in Books, and on History Channel

[GendPzTrSchmidt]

It's also that Germany never managed to have more than a couple of hundred Panthers, and 70 Tigers at the eastern front at the same time. While german numbers were small, the russian tanks had a lower quality, but just because of that, doesn't mean that they were bad.

[dulle3000]

by the way: lot of the t34 crews has been konw of mass raist in the battel of germany:

prussian nights

by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn a soviet captain The little daughters on the mattress,

 Dead. How many have been on it A platoon, a company perhaps? A girls been turned into a woman, A woman turned into a corpse. It's all come down to simple phrases: Do not forget! Do not forgive! Blood for blood! A tooth for a tooth!

[dulle3000]

lol!

mr. porsche developed some tanks(tiger, king tiger and panther) with the most combat strength in wwII

[scottduncan44]

The T-34 was developed from the BT-7. 1000's of BT 7's were lost in the early invasion. The T-34 had the best balance of armor, firepower and mobility of any tank of its time. It did have real limitations however. One was the large hatch and lack of a radio. This meant that formations such as platoon and larger were directed by waving flags. Also the commanders and crews had poor training. These factors helped negate the other advantages.

[lolayi]

These T34/85 were most effective and efficient tank of WW2!!

[lolayi]

Porsche didn't developed Tigers!! If it did, then it was some parts of it like, transmissions and sometimes the whole turrets!!

It's quiet true that those 3 tanks were good in combat strength because of their powerful guns but they were absurdly inefficient!!

All 3 tanks had separate chassis, they had to build whole separate machinery for it, it was waste of time!! they were too heavy and were very expensive!! And they couldn't build in great numbers to fill the front!! this was a major

[lolayi]

Mistake on Germans side!! Hitler was kind of Stylish man and wanted fancy tanks while there were very shortage of tanks on front!! Most of officers preferred more Panzers and Panthers then 1 or 2 tigers!!

The soviets tanks had relatively good gun and good protection and were very cheap!! T34/57- T34/76- T34/85- Su-85- Su100 etc.. were all made on one Chassis!! That saved a lot of time and money. There were a waves of T34s coming from Soviet side!!

[k02a]

@lolayi and the t34s could be fixed by a farmer on a field using a single spanner and a hammer... unlike german tanks

[lolayi]

Yes, it was unbelievably easy to repair!! German tanks like Panthers, were made of extremely complex engineering which made it difficult for regular soldiers to repair!!

Even the soviet post war tanks were easy to repair like t54,t55, t62 and t72

Maybe it sound non-logical but the Afghan warriors in time of civil war, were able to repair the abandoned and captured Soviet t55s quite well !!!

[ibia99]

Essa baga destruiu os Pazers kkkkkk

[leifcoburn]

I'm not a nazi and think the Germans did some horrible things, just like so many other wars of the past. the difference is that we got this one in pictures and on video. Nevertheless they had some great machinery.

[SuperEzekial99]

@leifcoburn yea.....but one thing thaty scares me about the nazis is,facis science i mean cmon all that weird as hell shit? they even tried creating a lighting gun (wunderwaffe)

[nash3timemvp]

the best tank of ww2,its amazing to think this tank would have been ten fold more effective if all of them had two way radios instead of just a command tank it could have saved alot of lives

[AOEPWNS11]

unfortunately, the russians had plenty of lives to spare lol

[Skid00everest340]

skit på dig

[484442pt]

Poland manufactured 1380 T-34's between 1952-56 and Czechoslovakia - more than 3000 between 1951-58. This one is just Polish-made vehicle with post-war painting (eagle and 4-cipher code, while war-time vehicles had 3-cipher codes)

[pelewi]

yeah, these T-34 was manufactured in slovakia in city of Martin, later there were manufactured t-72's and t-85 or maybe t-80 i don't know well the names of these tanks...

[484442pt]

T-54, T-55, T-62 (for export only) and finally T-72. First T-34 were built by CKD Praha in 1951 but in 1952 production transferred to ZTS Martin in Slovakia where cca 10.000 tanks were built.

[2424August]

The T-34 Soviet Panzer was one of the best tanks of the war because it took each month to mass produce 1,000 of them, had good mobility, and superior armor that can deflect any kind of armor round. This was a advanced tank of its time, but sure German Panzers were advanced ahead of its time. This T-34/85 variant excelled when it was used in Operation Bagration, where the Russians destroyed more German divisions in over 170 miles in just 2 weeks on the Eastern Front! 5/5 Stars! A good tribute.

[Zuch182]

i think is this polish tank :P

[EssexRef1976]

apolish tank!!!???

[foleydeman]

russian tank it was used in WWII

[Zuch182]

i think this polish edition taknk because is polish Coat of arms. But if is not polish tank, this is soviet tank, not russian. понимаю?

[ProjectRealityBf2]

considering how little time it took to manufacture the t-34 it really was a great tank but I must admit the Germans did have the best tanks overall(mainly the Tiger) but that was also their downfall they were to tedious when it came to tanks(and about everything else) and that's why they lost!

[VLAMusi]

Ohh yaeh and the tiger tank whas a HEAVY TANK THIS IS A MEDIUM ONE LITLE IDIOT NATZI BASTARD

[phonix032]

not every person that praises german creations is a natzi u fuckard, i am a fan of german creations myself, im a mexican so me being a nazi would be dummer than sarah palins " i can see russia from my backporch" quote.

reply to: hockeydudeluv

The T - 34 kicked the living f**** out of you, even a German soldier admits.... That should say something.... you poor bastards ran back to Berlin like little pussies, and got finished off there. I am not Russian, but i know a good saing: "Who comes to us with a sword, will leave from one" -- Alexander Nevskiy, you on the other hand left with one up ur rear end!

[VLAMusi]

So true!

[hockeydudeluv]

wheres the guy in the Tiger? to blow this piece of shit away!......Just like in the war, Micheal Witmman faced over 30 of these...alone, and knocked out over a dozen, then watched the remainder run like deer!

[Linux1man]

Reply to: hockeydudeluv

There is no guy in the tiger, because he was already blown away by the t 34. LOL

Oh, and BTW if M.W. took out so many Russian tanks, Why did you miserably LOOSE the war? i got only one think to say to all the German tank fans out there: LOOSERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Linux1man]

It's interesting that you ask, because exacly 5 days ago, i spoke with a German WWII veteran that said that while he was in southern Russia there were 3 things that he was scared of

1. T - 34 2. Polikarpov (small plane, but very powerfull) 3. Katusha. I agree with you that Germans had WAY superior weapons in the begining of the war, but toward the end things like Katusha, T - 34, Yak - 3, etc... raped you

[hockeydudeluv]

you spoke to no one...Linusman, the Germans werent afraid of jack shit the Rapists had, amybe a few Hitler Jugend, this shows your narrow mindedness, and your faith in a country that raped children as young as 9 and 10 years old, i hope you feel all warm inside because of this, beat your chest. Your inbred nation was lucky it lived where it reached 40 below, as i said, the Germans pounded you rapists and had you rapists on your knees...before the cold set in....nyet nyet....rapists.

[Linux1man]

reply to: hockeydudeluv

What the f*** did u call me? I am not even Russian you dumb idiot! Now this shows how stupid you are, FU nazi! if you don't believe me goggle the book "Berlinian Luck" because thats the book that guy wrote about how he was in Russia. The funny thing also is people tend to reverse history in their heads... German's were the rapist.... And even AFTER the winter we took you F***** Berlin.

[januszgd]

if that would be a russian t34/85 there would be a red star on the top but insted there is a Polish sign on it so that makes it polish t34/85

[chechnya]

And to think, some countries still use this junk.

[PrickIttwice]

like what countries? ^^

[boomstix]

3rd world

[90KostuchA93]

t34 is not junk ,good tank...(early). Junk is abrams and other american shit.

[chechnya]

Haha Poland sucks and you know it. You can't afford anymore more than old Russian hand me downs.

[mingo1990]

/85 is not made in 1941

[bumbastyczny]

yeah this one is polish 85 version produced in Gliwice Poland

[stanpyrzanowski]

Apparently this tank is Polish, what is indicated by the white eagle on the turret. This must be a later version of T-34, because of the wheels- they seem to be the same or very similar to the ones used in T54/55 later on.

[Madnessrule24]

Is this the T34/85 version?

[barbarossa1234]

Actually, this tank appears to be Polish.

[alfred024]
