Battle with T-34 tanks in Yemen hit video

93

Tanks T-34s go on the offensive again. One might assume that this phrase refers to the period 75 years ago, but this assumption would be wrong. We are talking about 2020, not 1945.

Footage from Yemen appeared on the network, where the armed formations of the Houthis continue to resist the so-called Arab coalition, in which the Saudi military are in charge. This confrontation has been going on for several years, but the well-armed and equipped Saudi troops, together with the government forces of Yemen, cannot cope with the Ansar Allah group, which is armed with the most modern weapons it turns out that they took as trophies from the same Saudis.



The battle with the use of T-34-85 tanks took place, according to the channel with the publication of the video, in the governorate (province) of Ed-Dali, which is located in the south-west of the country, not far from the city of Kaataba. This fight was caught on video.

The video shows a battle in a mountainous area (T-34 tanks can be seen from 2:40):


Earlier there was information that in battles tanks, released decades ago, were used in battles against the Houthis and the Yemeni government army.

Thus, it can be stated that Soviet armored vehicles do not lose their relevance in a variety of conflicts, despite the fact that, it would seem, dozens of steps have already been taken in the development of both the tanks themselves and anti-tank weapons.

      In the absence of a stamp, they write in simple!
      The T-34 is today just an 85 mm gun on an armored car.
      And who said that the 85 mm cannon is superfluous in battle? Very useful!
      You can't knock it down with a large-caliber machine gun and 20-30 mm cannons.
      And everything that is cumulative / anti-tank - it is equally dangerous against all armored cars.

        Once I talked with a man suffering from a serious illness - liberalism of the brain in the terminal stage - he foaming at the mouth argued to me that the T-34 was a mass grave, a tin can assembled using backward technologies ... God be with him! Leopard change his spots! But the fact remains - the "tin can" is at war, that is, it continues to perform combat missions after 85 years, and, for example, high-tech and ultra-modern peer tanks, such as "Sherwood", "Tiger", "Panther" can be found only in museum ... Fact? Fact!

                Strictly speaking, in battle, it is equally dangerous to hit both a gasoline tank and a diesel one. Moreover, with conscientious firing, the diesel T-34 burned down to hell, while the gasoline T-70 left something to restore, we drag.

            Vain thinking. There were only a few tigers at the end of WWII. Even if there were a lot of them, then with their running gear and wild gas mileage, they wouldn't give up in the jungle. The effectiveness of the T34-85 high-explosive fragmentation projectile is the same as that of the Tiger, and is significantly higher than that of the Panther. That is, the Panther there, too, Nashish did not give up when there is a T34-85.

              Not all were destroyed, "Panther", for example, was in service with post-war France. It's just that these tanks do not live without professional maintenance, in principle, hence the value of the preserved copies for museums (they were not preserved anywhere), since there was no point in putting them in long-term storage, unlike the T-34.

                  The Panther's towers were of only two types in design - the first with modification D differed in pistol loopholes and a commander's cupola, from the following modifications A and G. At the end of the war, a so-called narrow tower was installed. There, and the weapon was replaced, mod. F.
                  Pantherturm is a tower with a shoulder strap and a swivel mechanism, stationary, on a concrete base, photos with a narrow tower did not come across. Mostly D and A. Dug on the hulls, or lined with bags and paving stones, the same.

                        If I find that book. Back in 1995-1998 I bought it, there was a photo. Shmallturm tower on the "Panther A" hull. Several of these "hybrids" were bungled for testing. And in the photo there is one such "beauty" at a crossroads in Berlin. The hull seems to have no engine, there is a bunker, paving stones turned up around the tower. That is, not a stupidly damaged tank was dug in, but a bunker was made at the intersection. I’ll find a book - I’ll put it all in the scanner. And then in 1995-1997 a lot of interesting things fell into the hands, and then they were lost.

                          Most of the cats in the defense of Berlin were used with bunkers, or they were ambushed behind the fences and trees of parks, if on the move. Waging a mobile tank battle, even on the wide Berlin streets, was very problematic.

            The cat repair base ended with the collapse of the Third Reich.

            Other rarities of that war are quite fighting for themselves ..

            At the end of the war, the career of the MG 42, widely recognized as one of the best machine guns not only in World War II, but in general in the uniform class, continued. So, since the late 1950s, Germany has been adopting the MG 42 variants, with changes for the 7,62 × 51 mm NATO cartridge, first under the designation MG 42/59, later - MG3. The same machine gun is still in service in Serbia, Croatia, Israel, Turkey, Greece, the United States (where it is also produced in small series), and in a number of NATO member countries (and not only). In Yugoslavia, the MG 42 under the name Zastava M53 was in service until 1999 in the version for the original 7,92x57 mm cartridge. Switzerland adopted a variant of the MG 51 machine gun under its 7,5 × 55 mm cartridge in 1951, and a few years later SIG Sauer developed several commercial (export) versions for 6,5 × 55 mm and 7,92 cartridges. × 57 mm, but a lighter analog of the Rheinmetall MG3 - SIG MG 710-3, chambered for the NATO cartridge, went into production.

            This machine gun is actively used in many military conflicts to this day..

            "Tiger I" is very much appreciated because there are only 7 museums and 7 seven tanks, which have been preserved in a proper condition. Surprisingly, according to official data, there are 8 models of the “Royal Tigers”. And the rest are in the same place as theirs "Fuhrer".

        The way the Houthis fight is generally cleaner than any Hollywood action movies. belay
        For the first time I saw an RPG-7 being shot at a headlong ... some Saudi behind the fortification was shooting back without letting the fighters come close ... so one Houthi raised the RPG high in his arms and fired very successfully, aptly destroying the defender ... the master alone word.

        Here I am constantly talking about the same. The Armenians and the Houthis have the same Soviet weapon, but some were ground up in a couple of months. Others have been holding for a year. And this despite the fact that the financial possibilities for buying weapons from Azerbaijan, to put it mildly, are much more modest than those of the Arab coalition.

      well-armed and equipped Saudi troops, together with the government forces of Yemen, cannot cope with the Ansar Allah group
      And the Saudi army can do anything other than building pyramids at parades, somersaulting and imitate hand-to-hand fighting with loud shouts? But he possesses the most modern American weapons and purchases them for hundreds of billions of dollars. Regarding the T-34-85 - 76 years in the stand (since 1944) and is still used in some countries, this is not a pound of raisins (dates) to eat.

After all, it is clear to a fool that a self-propelled gun with armor is better than in a tunic and with a Kalash! For the BMP-2, the armor did not stand next to the armor of the T-34, but it is with pleasure that they buy and fight all over the world!

      bravely on both sides. There are about a hundred meters between them, and the mortar crew fired, and they supported someone aside, although he himself was under fire.
      On both sides, most likely local - Saudis in uniform are not visible there. As the thrown mortar is not visible, the outcome of the battle is not clear - a rout or an organized retreat

      Yes, it is quite!
      Post-war T34s had quite acceptable reliability and mobility. As for the anti-tank defense weapons, if there is a modern one, then only the latest and most advanced tanks can resist it. Previous versions do not dance one hell.
      If there are no modern anti-tank weapons, then the thirty-four will protect against the rifle, including the Chinese DShK, only on the way.
      The cannon is good, two machine guns. It is repaired on the knee, unlike modern tanks.
