Hi Tank Nuts - let us know your thoughts about this video in the comments below.
-
T-14 has highly effective stealth coating. It's never been seen on the battlefield.
-
I feel like any footage of the T-14 should come with the disclaimer “Not actual game footage” 😂
-
I unironically love a video that takes 10+ minutes to set the stage and fill in the necessary background knowledge before diving into the stated subject matter. Great content!
-
I feel like the traditional ‘Tank Triangle’ of Armor/Firepower/Mobility, should be amended to include ergonomics/crew as a 4th aspect. You can create a tank that on paper is perfectly balanced and has amazing Armor, Firepower, and Mobility but have it still perform terribly due to being difficult to use. In my opinion this is why so many games appear to have a ‘Russian bias’, because they ignore all these hard to quantify aspects.

Never in the field of human conflict has so much been said, by so many, about so few tanks
-
"But by the time this film is released it may well be that this tank is in actual combat"- the most optimistic statement of the year. Bravo!
-
Concept of crewless turret is actually quite valid - especially with advances in electronics. For instance - T-55 tank turret weights 9.2 tons while whole tank weight is 36.5 tons. That's already 25% of whole tank weight, which could be used on other parts of tank. Dunno about T-14 Armata specs , however I think it might be more durable then people actually think.
-
Since tank museum is now covering new vehicles, maybe it might make an interesting episode on KF51 Panther?
-
This tank’s capabilities only exists on paper. The budget to build it went into super yachts and private mansions
-
As a former M1A1 tank commander. I can not count how many holes I would have got stuck in ,if I could have not stuck my head out of the hatch to see the depth of the hole. Don't know how many times I said " Loader how much room do I have on the left side." This layout will work on flat desert terrain , go down narrow trails , defiles, mine lanes good luck.
-
This is an excellent channel. You guys present everything so clearly without any unnecessary bells and whistles.
-
Great piece of work as expected from The Tank Museum
-
Just needs more ERA, ERA solves everything. I installed some ERA before my exams, got A* in all of them. Installed some on my dog and it turned into a wolf
-
Very interesting hearing the development history of Cold War Russian tanks. Helps a lot with understanding how the T14 came about.
-
What I did not realise until recently is that the number of a Russian tank is its approximate design/manufacture date. For example a T 70 was designed around 1970. Presumably this T 14 was designed around 2014.
-
Seeing the tank smoking gave me a flashback then.... I was at an airshow once and there was a tank near me who decided, in the middle of a crowd of civilians within touching distance, to make a smoke shield. I have asthma so it was an immediately suffocating cloud i couldnt escape quick enough.... 😮
-
"getting any tank onto the battlefield is problematic." Getting any tank off the battlefield in working condition is near impossible.
-
making yourself dependent from countries you may potentially go to war with for parts to build your tanks is just pure genius.
-
I appreciate the background information on the history of the T-XX tanks, this was about a lot more than just the T-14, and served as a fine education about what is likely to be rumbling around in Ukrainian fields right now
