How common soldiers in 1980s saw technological difference between M1 and previous generation of tanks?

@@bazejs8084 I was a 19E M60A3 TC and to be honest when the M1 came out first thing we saw was it rides too low and the gas guzzling turbine SEVERELY limited your operational range and it required higher level maintenance which means it would have to be yanked back from the front, get fixed, then be transported back, instead of just dropping a new power pack in and moving on. We understood it was built as a defensive tank but some of us could not get over the all the damn limits of the thing. We were CAV so operational range without direct support with the M1's was just asking for trouble at the time. We like the TTS better then the TIS but ya know. I just do not understand turbines that suck fuel at such a rate being used at all. That was my opinion.

In 1988 the 1/123rd Armor HHC had an M60 tank that had a TOW on it. Yes a TOW. Anyone else ever seen this before?

Great footage, but I am confused concerning the narration: 1) in discussing the seizure of the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen in March, 1945, I see instead footage of the fighting in Cologne which was going on almost simultaneously some miles to the north. 2) M41 Bulldogs saw action in Korea? I think they're confusing it with the M24 as the former came into service in 1953 at about the time of the Armistice nor is there any reference to the tank being used during the fighting. 3) Sheridans were thickly armored? I understand that one of the problems with them was their poor survivability, which made them rather unpopular with the crews as the tank was not known to handle mines or RPG hits very well. Not trying to be a smart ass know-it-all, it's just things I picked up over the years.

The Israeli armor units were great at their jobs in good gunnery skills, tactics, communications, and speed and violence before 1973. By 1973 the Egyptians especially their anti-armor infantry units were very deadly on the battlefield. The Egyptians used the latest Soviet style combined arms tactics at that time and were very effective in crossing the Suez Canal using combat engineers, air defense, artillery, and special operations. The best Soviet Doctrine package ever to be revealed at that time. Thanks to the US with and emergency resupply of weapons and ammunition and Israeli counter offensive planning that a great surprise attack on Israel was diverted. NATO and the US after the 1973 Yom Kippur War was able to evaluate the destroyed equipment in battle used by both sides, evaluate tactics, evaluate logistics planning, use of air power, and artillery. This was an eye opener for all militaries around the world especially the US and NATO to improve tactics, weapon systems, and to invent or produce new weapons systems to counter an enemy's doctrine. The US and NATO has heavily invested into first is training and new weapon systems and doctrine. Today or in this era with Ukraine is the best insight to how the Russians fight now and how they adapt to current combat and how the Ukrainians adapt to their foes and counter their tactics.

This….is an excellent video. I grew up on the idea that the M60 was THE tank. Plastic toy soldiers that came with a M60 that fit in the back where the power pack lived. Tamiya Model Corporation put an ad with the then new M1 Abrams next to an M60 when I was 8…. I was like, “what is this angular looking thing, it’s garbage!!” I eventually became a Marine, and eventually became a M1A1 MBT Repairman. The M1A1 has become a mainstay of my life, and although I no longer service & maintain them, seeing archival footage of them as they were when they first came into my life…it reminds me of the rich heritage and story that is part of my own now. 🦅🌎⚓️

i lvoe how this immediatly comes out as Murican by using the words FREE WORLD. ALso what they are saying here is true. All modern warfare is based around tanks and artillery something not appreciated by most self-proclaimed experts. In defense Tanks are mobile bunkers easily capable of shooitng and moving to a new position like a sniper. In offence they are the main punch combined with artillery and airpower and thus you can't have enough of either. And one of the main reasons why soviet formations especially are so tank and artillery heavy is because of the huge open plains they spent most of ww2 fighting over where there was little in the way of natural obstacles often for thousands of KM so terrain favors the attackers and Invades too advantage of that countless times. Fast moving mechanized forces bakced by long range artillery where the first time where it became practica to actually conduct running defensive battles on such open ground. That changes once you get into western europe dramatically though. The terain is much more easy to defend and botle neck an andvance and everyboy has to use the same routes for movement.

I've been born in USSR-occupied country, my parents even more so, basically all people in our 40 million country, and nearly all people in our 100mln region, always have seen, also today, USA as Free World protector. Everything can be explained rationally though - USA is sea power, as such it is in the interests of the every sea power that as many nations as possible be free and prosperous and that It can trade and interact with them and benefit from them not allowing any power to dominate the continent. USSR was contiental power - thus, like in case of most other continental powers in history, it was oppresive, cruel, often using genocide, ethnic cleansing as a tool and, above all, in its intrest was not to allow for any nation in its neighbouhood to be free or prosperous, becuase everything coul be potential danger. Mere freedom or prosperity was automatically destabilizing oppresive dictatorial governing form in USSR. That's why so many people risked their life, sometimes died, just to flee Soviet world. Though Germany, through Korea. Not the other way around. Nearly always from USSR's to US's world.

@@bazejs8084 While I mainley agree with you, here are some notes. 1) Sea powers aren't pro universal free trade but for free trade within the trade alliance(s) they're part of. Historically they either had (fleeting) military arrangements or they raided each other (Portugal vs Spain vs Holland vs England vs France). 2) The sea powers mentioned above were empires, they colonized large swaths of the earth, enslaved the local populations to work at the colonial plantations, and organized the slave trade once they ran out of natives to enslave. 3) Religiously persecuted people tend to flee into the inlands, that's how many European Jews ended up in Russia and the Mormons ended up in Utah.
