The T-90M tank, which the Russian Army is so proud of and supposedly has no analogs in the world, got tangled in barbed wire during a battle and stalled

  4. >The T-90M Breakthrough tank is a deep modernization of Russia’s T-90 main battle tank, which the Russian Armed Forces adopted for service in 2020.

    And yet it couldn’t even break through some barbed wire without dying.

    In a separate video, apparently Ukrainian forces sent out a ground drone and re-laid the wire without even leaving their positions.

  5. That’s to be expected. The tensile strength of that wire is crazy high. I’ve seen concertina wire that was anchored to concrete barriers bring an Abrams to a sudden and complete halt. Literally any tank can be stopped by well secured steel wire.

  6. C-wire.

    Interesting that a single strand did the job. 

    Usually do 3 strands for anti-vehicle per regs. Gets tangled in the sprockets. 

  9. To actually use these in the way they are designed, russia would need to get through Ukraines defensive lines. Russia seems to lack the coordination to exploit breakthroughs in the way there doctrine tells them too. Its too complex for them. At this point Russia would probably have trouble building up enough reserves to do a massive armored breakthrough

  10. Very simple very effective against any tank.. same with just digging a ditch

  12. Wtf, in no way is this believable. That tank was blown up and then brand new concertina wire was placed around it.

  14. Out at NTC. I was a Bradley Commander.

    Late at night, movement to contact, using NVG out of the BC position.

    We found contact! Our two tracks were getting shit from everywhere but all was well until we threw a track.

    We ran into a small wire obstacle that became a big obstacle!

  15. The second video in that link, where the drone operator takes his time to get just the right vector of attack, scoots the drone right between the turret and hull, with predictable results …

  18. For the Bros replying the C wire will bring an abrams to a halt… what does the US military do to prevent this from happening in operations? Send engineers out ahead of armor but then how do the engineers take care of the C wire? Manually start cutting the wire? Or do they have some sort of engineering vehicle to drop a barrier like a bridge to crush and cross the C wire without getting tangled?

    Genuine curious, not arguing

  20. Weren’t the tanks originally built to especially get over barbed wire fences? I find it wild that they obviously can be stopped by it.
