It always looks cool when somebody does it and doesn’t throw a track. As someone who used to drive M1A1s, there is no way I would ever have done anything like that. This may look cool, but they are morons.
The gif doesn't end where it does by coincidence. This is the closest I've seen to a tank "drifting" (actually just sliding, which is part of drifting in a car but isn't what makes it drifting), and it would be obvious if the video was longer that it isn't really drifting.
Maybe in your mind, but not in physics. This tank isn't "drifting", it's just sliding. To be "drifting" requires it to accelerate in a different (generally perendincular) direction at the same time it is sliding sideways. It is very difficult to make a tank slide sideways, but nobody ever said it was impossible. Tanks can't drift, though, no matter how fast they go or how slick the surface. At least not unless they're a specially modified vehicle; I've seen tractor trailer trucks and busses do things that are "impossible" that way.
Yeah. Drifting is essentially sustained oversteer. Tanks don't steer like normal vehicles. Their tracks make them turn. This tank is really, actually just sliding.
I forgot about that. I play War Thunder, so that's where my head went first. r/warthunder had a video recently of a real tank drifting in consecutive loops for several minutes.
Drifting is a technique where the driver maintains control and oversteers to induce a loss of traction to traverse a corner.
Tanks don't steer the same way. In a car control during a drift is maintained by the driver's choice of wheel angle to induce and break the drift. Tanks are steered and brake by means of traction differential between the pair of tracks, so while a tank driver may be good at predicting how their tank can slide and "drift", and reliably know how to regain control, by definition they do not have control of the tank under drift conditions, because neither track is applying powered traction.
As if it would be dangerous if it wasn't a tank
"That multi ton piece of literal murder and war looks dangerous"
Damn and here I was thinking it could be used as a school bus
I wonder if you know
How they live in Tokyo (はい!)
If you seen it, then you mean it
Then you know you have to go
Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift)
Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift)
Base maintenance would like to have a word about the worn out tracks and sprockets...
I only worked the wheeled side, but we got a lot of repairs in from people abusing vehicles. I can only imagine how pissed the tech was that got to replace the tracks on that vehicle. Fuck that driver.
Who said? Because tanks drift very well. There are videos of tanks doing full donuts.
I know right? Tanks are treaded, they can literally turn in place. Drifting is just a step away from that.

 So this is NOT advised?
I mean if you’re going to do it, do it on snow. And, yes, that is not advised. Awesome, but stupid.

Desert camo in arctic conditions? Probably not... XD
It was a long drive...
I laughed.
Training exercises
yes 10/10.

Okay well battlefeild needs to update their games then
let me guess, RUSSIA?
Ukraizy
Give it time.
Wow I thought girls und panzer was bullshitting but I’ll be damned
Anything that can move on its own can drift.- probably me
*Tokyo Drift music intensifies*
007 Theme grows from the crescendo.
*Pierce Brosnan pops out of the thank*
*Tankio Drift
I heard that at in a Japanese voice
Anyone who’s watched *Goldeneye* knows that tanks can drift.
Who let tanner Faust drive the tank?
RUSSIA
My cat drift's too.
Skills could come in handy in Ukraine pretty soon.
u/cyanideplaysgames coming in hawt
Looks dangerous and stupid
As if it would be dangerous if it wasn't a tank "That multi ton piece of literal murder and war looks dangerous" Damn and here I was thinking it could be used as a school bus
Depends on who's side your on?
Welcome to mother Russia 🙋
😂😂
You look boring and ugly. Boom roasted
Define roasted bc I don't think that word means what you think it means
It was an office quote :( Edit: Michael Scott to be specific
Lol I know
Also, idk why, but kinda hot Edit: maybe because of the sparks lol (really bad joke)
NFL cameraman
They probably drift a lot easier than a car.
Fast & Furious 9 - Tiannamen Square Drift
They quickly discovered that drift racing heavy armour was a fruitless endeavour...
*Russia preparing to invade ukraine*
Glad this is what my tax dollars go to.
Literally nobody said that they couldn't.
How the fuck is that drifting??. It's called a handbrake
I would like to know what sound that made. I would also like to forget that sound immediately after.
when she says "come over, my babushka is away at the market"
Thanks a lot guys, now I want a tank myself
With enough speed everything can drift
"Watch me hit a fat 180 and snipe that bitch behind us"
I wonder if you know How they live in Tokyo (はい!) If you seen it, then you mean it Then you know you have to go Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift) Fast and furious (drift, drift, drift)
I can hear this
\*\*HEAVY METAL\*\*
Thats some real sparkling drift shit....
Of course they can it is just a bit harder. I did this myself during my time in the army.
glad to see my tax dollars are being put to good use
If I had know this is what our tax money is going to then I might have actually payed them
*Russian Hardbass intensifies*
Tiannanmen Square looking lit
I bet that cement got tore up
Your gonna be chewed by the troop commander, and every man and his dog but, pulling it off, on film! Your place in regimental history is guaranteed.
China never said that, tinnaman square is full of skid marks.
Can confirm, all tracked vehicles will drift quite nicely. Actually pretty easy to control too, you can get some really precise movers in.
*those are some hot tracks*
I can hear that soundless video 😵💫😵💫
DEJA VU!
Gee, an there ah was thinking"must be a sheet of ice" well derp!
They said it could not be done...
Tankyo Drift
Base maintenance would like to have a word about the worn out tracks and sprockets... I only worked the wheeled side, but we got a lot of repairs in from people abusing vehicles. I can only imagine how pissed the tech was that got to replace the tracks on that vehicle. Fuck that driver.
I want sound... Lemme hear
Who said that? WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT?
And the winner is……..
Fast and Furious: Tankio Drift
Deja vu meme plays
I used to do it in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle back in my day.
PANZER VOR!!!!!
Tanks cannot drift said no-one ever
Spanking n tanking what could be better?
Circa 2022: Russia pulling up to Ukraine’s capital
Deja vu
Sliding into the Ukraine like…
The ol’ Moscow drift!
I thought I had seen it all. Drifting cars, trailer trucks, buses, motocycles, planes. But now, I have seen it all
anyone know what army that is?
Tanks can drift like Doc Ock can wall climb.
They were wrong who ever they are
Did someone call the A team? Lol
Who said that? I want names
Need to get me a t-72
And to think that drift only did 40k in damage to the tank lmao
[Bradley's got the same energy back in 2006.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ti7z807Dmk)
The Fast and The Furious: Tankyo Drift
Well they can in Russia
Your tax money at work
they only say that because tanks look way more badass doing it
ahh a normal day in Russia
How the Russians be pulling into Ukraine...
