I'd agree with that! Some describe Russian aircraft like MiGs as being not fancy at all and maybe a bit crude in some places but certainly fast. They then say most Western designs are built very nice inside and out. Every area is finished to perfection - even if you never see it or it does not...

Yep - truly impressive for such a huge task. Guess what Stalin wanted....Stalin got! I have read before that the Germans took some captured early T-34s back to Germany. They were so impressed with it's performance that they even considered building a copy. They encountered problems in...

Larry Vickers talkin' Russian main battle tanks. He always does a good job on his videos (in my opinion), so I hope you enjoy this. Just a quick history of Russian tanks. Kubinka Tank Museum - Russian Tanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBk08eA_X4Q

Funny you mentioned that, as I had wondered who this "Ruptly" is anyway. Based on my limited searching - they are a news agency from Berlin Germany. I am assuming (which is risky) that they get the videos from someone (ground crew in this case?) and then post them as "news". There are...

This video is supposed to be Russian aircraft taking off and landing from their airbase in Syria, while conducting combat operations there. I cannot verify that, but I am posting it because it is a good quality video that shows Su-24, Su-34, Su-30, Su-25. If you choose to watch fullscreen on...

He isn't very clear is he, but based on what I heard he said: 22 rds in the carousel (for the auto-loader) 17 rds in storage compartments inside the turret 2 rds in the external storage compartments (probably in the turret bucket on the back) 41 in total I checked my old Janes Main Battle...

Inside the Tanks: The T-72 - Australian Armour & Artillery Museum Short video that shows inside and outside of the T-72. Just a basic walk around highlighting some points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krp2y88nNCo

Yeah some of it is a bit of a soap opera, so I just skip those parts. Seeing the tank plant and how they are rebuilt is interesting. You get some close ups of inside & outside and get shown what it takes to rebuild them. For example, watching how they paint them is very different - just...

Ep 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMiJr6Ckrug Ep 12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER6LV0BSCuU Just for a qucik contrast - here is the one for rebuilding the M1A1 in Ohio and Alabama. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaVQ9WqxiBc

Tanks made in Russia - Episode 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xQ6PpKndU4

Here is episode 2 - it doesn't want to show up above. Here you see them pull out the 125mm smooth bore cannon and the shell rack is shown. Hadn't see that part before...pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYsqIG1CvQg Here is episode 11... They aren't in order as best as I can...

Here is another series you might like, it shows Russian T-72 tanks being rebuilt. There are subtitles in English and the announcer is speaking in English so you can follow along. You get to see the plant and follow along with two guys that work there - both are trying to get the one full time...

You will probably like this one then. These are pretty amazing. Kamaz 63986 MRAP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8itt05NDbM

The Russians design their aircraft so they can operate on rough air strips. I believe they add that to protect the fuselage from debris and prevent anything from entering the intakes. It is a fairly common feature on their aircraft with side intakes.

Yes - they really know how to promote their equipment. I'm sure you're right on that one.

Don't know - I didn't realize this was happening to that many of them. Looks like a lot of the previous videos are gone and the youtube accounts closed. If I can, I will edit my posts to remove the dead links.

More on the Su-34 Fullback! Hope you enjoy these as well. This one is quite good. Nice air to air and cockpit scenes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEm3FQnTL7U This one is okay - quality isn't the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dAI8YRZrAI Another one - in Russian but worth a...

I guess either way works!
