The most Intense Tank Battle yet in Ukrainian war - Analysis

A very interesting video came out. The video involves a close quarters tank battle between Russian and Ukrainian tanks. The video appears to be something straight out of a movie or a videogame.

this is the first actual modern tank vs tank combat footage where you can see both visually

Imagine the distress and fear in both of these tanks.. and then a sigh of relief that youre not dead

[DNG]

A soviet tank vs soviet tank. Imagine telling this to a Soviet person in 1980s.

[Chitus]

Playing video games (war thunder) and seeing this, knowing what is happening inside a tank when it get hits. Give me chills just imagining when your inside that tank.

The existence of the video suggests that the Russian commander had the benefit of the same drone view as he commanded the battle. Squad leaders are managing their unit while looking at these screens and micromanaging their men to tell them look left, right, rush B etc. The benefits are tremendous.

All of this wouldn’t happened if steiner had conducted his counter attack

[opposedlogic]

cant even begin to imagine the extreme relief you must have felt when the other tank is taken out and you realize your coinflip deciding if you live or die ended up with you alive and you get to live for one more day in a hellish war.
rip to the dead tankers who werent so lucky.

[Gecocieco]

To know there were 4 people in that tank and they all burnt to death is very depressing

[skylargray]

To think that stuff like this was only confined in War Thunder just about a year ago and seeing it happening in reality in this year is just crazy

[Sigil_Firebrand]

I guess we can't really rip on War Thunder tank combat being unrealistic anymore.

[TheActionBastard]

Great illustration of the value of vision in tank combat (or combat in general... see enemy before they see you tends to be a great method for survival)

[michaelbruce]

Excellent situational awareness by the Russian crew knowing what they were up against and getting a good line of sight shot on the T-64, which probably had no idea the T-80 was even there because it lacks a thermal sight, the crazy close range shows that.

[Edario]

Lesson from this video: third person view is a must in combat.

[boblog]

This is the most warthunder battle ive ever seen

[louisduplessis]

For us in South Africa we fought T64 and T72 tanks at very close range due to the bush. That was in the Angolan war

[temonglong]

T80bvm not only op in war thunder, but also irl.

[frododiddledeebipedybopedy]

Ukrainian War single-handedly reviving large-scale armoured warfare.

[splendid]

At most 3 lives had been burned away at that moment there, condolences to the families of the fallen.

[EchosTackyTiki]

I have to say, the footage from this conflict has been unlike any other in history. Never thought I'd see that recorded.

3:24 that smoke performed a heart shape😂
