It gets worse.
Its not just one tank this year.
Its the second year in a row where they have just that one tank, last years parade was the same.

They also pretended to have a flyby over the parade by cutting in footage of jets into the broadcast, but the weather in the flyby footage was different from that at the parade, and the type of jets kept changing between shots.

Edit: 5:20 Oh no, Vaush doesnt even know about the turtle tanks.

Had a discord buddy who lives in Russia... was always the nicest fella, big cat lover. Then came 2022 and Russia's propaganda may be low effort and easy to see through. But it worked like a dream on him. Posting articles claiming the US has boots on the ground in Ukraine and is bombing babies on the reg. All that didn't bother me, but then he started in with the talk of "homosexuals destroying the fabric of society with their degeneracy and whatnot". I can forgive someone being misled to believe all of Ukraine is infested with nazis, but if you follow that up with a time honored nazi talking point... I can't hang with that level of stupid.

[mat.b.]

The "history of ww2" thing he's talking about is how eastern European countries (not just Ukraine) take down Soviet military statues, Lenin statues, etc. and also the widely accepted norm that WW2 started in 1939, whereas in Russia they pretend it started in 1941 and Stalin never allied with Hitler. So they're just calling the world revisionists for not going along with their revisionism.

[IndependentObserver]

BTW it's the same single tank they used the the previous victory parade, and it was made after WW2, in Czechoslovakia.

5:40 jumpscare warning

Edit: it's fixed now, video went black in the original release

PS. By "jumpscare" I was referring to seeing your own reflection in the black screen

[fluffynator]

What Vaush fails to mention it that these old tanks aren't just weak but also a strain on logistics. You need old parts to fix them, , they eat way more fuel, raepairs may be harder due to poor documentation etc etc

[silaskuemmerle]

Considering that during WWII, we built 1, 200 shermans per month, Russia producing 100 T-90s a month is believable assuming they have every factory going full speed

[ProfLakitax]

Russian Militarism will never be not goofy...

Funniest shit ever.

[uncabob]

Speaking as someone who's somewhat plugged into this, Russia is a big country with a lot of resources and industry, under an autocrat who is willing to spend all of his nation's wealth and wellbeing for the sake of his pride. Their military is in a terrible fucking state, and so so many of their troops are suffering terrible privation. But there's still more Russian meat for the grinder and will be for a long time. If the West, and particularly America, had been able to keep Ukraine stocked instead of fumbling the ball, they'd have been able to make some serious progress against the invasion. Instead they had to desperately ration their artillery ammunition and make slow fighting retreats. It was a ridiculous fucking bumbling, and poisoning by useful idiots, that American aid got cut off.
All of that moaning aside, Russia is out of a lot, a lot of their shit. They're very low on near-modern tanks, they've lost a bunch of their critical and irreplaceable air-command planes, they've been pissing away jets, they're out of reserves and so down to production on a lot of missiles, they have almost no apcs (there are so many videos of unsupported Russian infantry trying to advance in all sorts of completely open civilian vehicles), there are terrible food, water and ammunition shortages for said infantry. About the only things they have a lot of are drones and conscripts.
It's appalling.

[supercellodude]

if this level of materiel shortage is occuring for primary vehicles like tanks and APCs, it increases the likelihood that at least some of the nuclear warhead stockpile has been left to decay. Tritium has a half life of a little over 12 years, and if their hydrogen bombs are still based on the principle of a "fission tamper" then the uranium and/or plutonium also have half-lives that can result in impurities like helium voids. It's *really* expensive to maintain the proper configuration of radioactive materials in a stockpile of warheads that number in the thousands (try to ask the US DoD why they still have floppy drives and old mainframes for nuclear weapons control: the budget goes to re-enrichment)

[The_Story_Of_Us]

5:40-6:09 is some of the most insightful political commentary I've ever seen... I'm seeing this war in a whole new light now.
Edit: I can't believe the editor removed this incredibly enlightening segment! Unsubscribed!

[StruggleGaming]

The NAFO boys watched the parade last year as well, same single T-34 as well.
It was even funnier the second time.

[rorysparshott]

A Czechoslovakiain-built T-34 they had to panic buy from Laos

[Adyen]

To be fair to Russia, they're probably not really focusing their economy on tanks anymore and mostly just drones. Drones are just apparently more cost effective.

[jeremyweaver]

I'm a retired Tank Crewman from the US Army. I've been LOVING this conversation. I only wish I was in chat.

[StarsShatteredBeyond]

Why is there suddenly a depiction of Putin’s brain in the middle of the video.

[Tacomster]

If only the Ghost of Stalin and the Romanovs warned him last Christmas, this could have been over quicker

[mrsnrub]

But...but...some tankies on TikTok told me that Russia was about to win 😢

[Mirakolis]

I wonder if Putin ever remembers the time when the USSR collaborated with Germany in order to conquer Poland and the Baltic states only to be later invaded by Germany. The Soviet Union was as authoritarian and cruel as the third Reich was, for a lot of Russians the problem with Germany wasn’t their hunger for conquest or the horrifying things they did to the Poles, Ukrainians or Jews but that they turned their imperial ambitions against Moscow.

[edwardkennedy]

I don’t think that Russia will soon run out of tanks, but their quality is rapidly deteriorating. After the collapse of the USSR, they were left with thousands of mothballed armored vehicles and tanks. We have this crap in Ukraine too, but our military leadership does not consider it rational to revive essentially scrap metal.
