RT Documentary: “Cold War Weapons | Tanks: Episode 2”
In the 1960s, the Soviet Union introduced the T-64 tank, which changed the entire structure of the USSR's tank forces. The machine was as fast as the light tanks, but was armed with powerful weapons that only heavyweight tanks had. The T-64 also had a particularly strong armour that could resist shaped charge ammunition. Not all tank crews, however, were happy with the new tank.
In the US, the M-60, one of America's most produced massive tanks, was undergoing a modernisation. Engineers especially prided themselves on the M-60's strong armour. The US shipped dozens of M-60 to Israel during the Yom Kippur War. It's still in service in 18 countries.
At the same time, the USSR put the T-72 tank into service. It's considered an equivalent of the Kalashnikov in the world of tanks. The T-72's main armament is a 125mm smooth-bore gun which can even fire rockets. In the US, the M-1 Abrams entered into service in the US, becoming the pinnacle of American tank evolution. First tested in combat during the First Gulf War, it remains the US's main battle tank .
Check out this episode of Cold War Weapons with host Marina Kosareva as she takes a closer look at some Soviet tanks and even takes the T-80 on a ride. Weapon tester Alexey Smirnov fires HEAT and high-explosive rounds from the T-72. Don't miss the new episode! They're coming your way every Monday.

Europe and the United States are silencing Russian voices specifically Russia Today America in the States and RT UK have been closed the first and censored the latter, Mass Media has officially become War Propaganda, The Mass Media is claiming for a Russian Coup to discharge Putin, of course that would be the easy, quick and cheap way….
But, if the world as a whole is strongly divided… isn't it a double-edged sword? With warmongering propaganda such a scenario becomes uncharted territory, the knife is in the air and at any second it can fall on either side, the only thing that stands in the way are human consciences, free speech and truth.
Let's be clear, the sides are between the Old World Order, the dominance and “stability” of the Dollar, and a New World Order (To be controlled by the Deep State, Khazarian Mafias, Soros, Roschitlds, Monarchies, the authors of the eternal Plandemies, Corporate Fascism, Extreme Surveillance and Trans-humanism), they want this New World Order to be eternal, a Chinese Social Credit System where the human being becomes a subject for eternity, Neo-Feudalism where their desires, development and capacities are controlled, with a single narrative and no possibility of dissent, that gentlemen is what is at stake, not a war against Russia… A war against the Human Being, Putin is just a stone that is about to be removed, while we have these few seconds to reflect…
