    Amazing work as usual, those 3D models of the Kharkovchanka really brought it to life 😍 beautiful!
  • @andrewbenoit5208
    An apocalyptic exploratory game where you have one of these as a mobile, cozy, base would be cool.
  • @Immortal_BP
    if they used this today you already know someone in the crew would start a vlog channel: Antarctica Van Life

    With the amenities included in the Kharkovchanka, it looks like it is the final boss of RV/Camper vans

    Admit it, you used to dream of having a monstrous yet cozy and comfortable home-vehicle similar to this to explore the world when you were kid... Update: Wow! over 2k likes?! Look mom, I'm famous! I'm glad that you've recalled one of your childhood dreams.

    i really appreciate when technologies are used on thing that make humanity moving forward instead of make people dead.

    Your videos are my new discovery channel. Thank you for all your time and effort. You guys are crushing it.
  • Way back in 1989 we were wintering in the then newly built India's Antarctic Research Station Maitri (70°46" S 11°46"E). I hitched a ride in Kharkovchanka of neighbouring Novolazarevskaya station. It was really warm very powerful machine which could haul with ease 20000 litres of fuel from the shelf.

    If you cross a tank with Antarctica, you get... Antanktica.

    In all seriousness however, this was a really cool video! Very informative, and I really enjoyed seeing this massive machine. The fact it sleeps people inside, shows that this thing was set to trek into some really wicked places. This would be wild to spend a day inside of.

    Well, looks like i just found a new channel to binge watch!! Great vids thanks bro you earned a sub!!
  • @user-yi6td6fu2g
    people dont really understand how much it takes for a trip like this you have to have everyone with multiple designations and jobs, you have to be part mechanic part doctor part scientist you cant just send anyone out on one of these missions the less people the more one has to learn.
  • @WellWisdom.
    Soviet engineering is awe inspiring. Simple, utilitarian and dirt cheap.

    DT-30, DT-10, DT-8 and DT-5 are the ones i remember them making these days. All have the same basic design of quad track, twin chassis, hydraulically articulated in two axis. Amazing vehicles, perfect for Siberia.
  • @nikivvsm
    Crazy, how you did more job on bringing this up to the people than any russian youtuber I've found. Mad respect
  • @majordakka5743
    Calum also has a deep dive video on this series of vehicle if anyone wants more details.
  • @user-dx3dr3kj9e
    Really interesting, thank you. Something oddly cozy about the vehicle!
