    Amazing work as usual, those 3D models of the Kharkovchanka really brought it to life 😍 beautiful!
  • 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
  • @momanmirul
    With the amenities included in the Kharkovchanka, it looks like it is the final boss of RV/Camper vans
  • i really appreciate when technologies are used on thing that make humanity moving forward instead of make people dead.

    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.

    you can say about russia what you want. But when it comes to what they are able to build (simple and durable), they are the masters of their craft
  • @Davest420
    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.
  • 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.

    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.
  • If you cross a tank with Antarctica, you get... Antanktica.
  • @WellWisdom.
    Soviet engineering is awe inspiring. Simple, utilitarian and dirt cheap.
  • Well, looks like i just found a new channel to binge watch!! Great vids thanks bro you earned a sub!!
  • @nikivvsm
    Crazy, how you did more job on bringing this up to the people than any russian youtuber I've found. Mad respect
  • Calum also has a deep dive video on this series of vehicle if anyone wants more details.

    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.
  • Really interesting, thank you. Something oddly cozy about the vehicle!
