But the tank has previously appeared to have been consigned to the ash heap of history only to rise again to reaffirm its relevance. Josh Toussaint-Strauss examines Russia’s early deployment during the invasion and asks: if tanks aren’t the problem, why did they fail in Ukraine?

So, Russia’s strategy failed in Ukraine ? Is this by any chance why they are winning big time ?
At least Ukraine/nato is winning in this channel.
wyy western tanks failed in Ukraine ?😂😂
One year ago? A lot has changed in one year.
Russian tanks don’t have enough support from other elements
Many concluded that tanks were obsolete at the end of world war 1 and here we are again.
😂😂😂😂😂
How do you know that the Russian strategy has failed? Maybe not the most efficient strategy but failed? But what if you don't care about human life? If the West doesn't want it anymore, Ukraine will be finished and that's what it looks like at the moment.
A tank is a war machine with superior firepower mobility and exceptional protection, there will always be a need for such a thing on any battlefield.
The simple answer is poor Russian tactics. No one would expect to march down roads and win a war.
RIP Gonzalo Lira: American journalist murdered by the Zelensky regime.
No the reason 2014 worked was Ukraine military was even worse then Russia, then after being trained by nato second time around Ukraine knew how to battle well Russia just thought they could walk in and take it again
So lack od Active Protection has nothing to do with any of this. Great analysis.
2023
Aged terribly. No wonder, it's the Guardian.
Sweet ivoice, unprofessional analysis.Everything goes topsy over in 2023. Russian tanks showed their power.
The tanks failed too because they are garbage.
U wud never know how the war will play and wat the Russia is hiding
This age like milk😂. Leopard 2 a6 get destroyed
8 months later russia has taken every town, city, neghiborhood or region they have dedicated more than 35,000 soldiers to. Tabks were in Mariupol & Bakhmut.
3:32 Unit cost of guided systems are in that area. The shown weapon system is a unguided, disposeable AT which costs less than 2.000 USD per unit.
Comment on present development please.
The best to decide is towards the end of the military operations!
Three reasons that the Rusians are loosing this war (and everything else): Laziness, cowardice and stupidity!! That is your heritage.. sorry. History and current events chose that for you!
Russia has for along time used their "Military Power" as a push to intimidate their neighborhoods. Up keep and maintenance has killed Russian military strategy and poor design. The tank will always have a clear need and use in future actions.
We could just do to have some knackered Russian tanks for our forge. Imagine the tools my daughter could make with that steel! 🤣
2:35 the website 'Oryxspioenkop' has the tally on all visually confirmed destroyed, abandoned or captured tanks. Pictures included for each one!
WW 3 comes soon for & AGAINST NATO
Stop making faked news and photographs. Do not play on the minds of the viewers , you have become a lie machine even to your citizens. No body believe you from the rest of the world.
3:25 is this not the new T14 Armata MBT (Russian) destroyed?
STOP LYING !!
I thought Russia ran out of missiles. Now I knoe they've also ran out of tanks-.
🤣🤣🤣
I love how people blamed it on the tank. Their tanks could be a serious threat if they use it the way they designed it. Low profile, small, huge gun… This tank is designed for long range support and ambush. But russian army literally roll em around in the open 1 by 1, in a line… IN A LINE! What war is this? Second world war LoL
Didn't those effective portable anti-tank weapons like the Panzerfaust knock out a considerable number of tanks during WW2? Still, post-war development of tank wasn't put a halt to and tanks hadn't retired either.
