M109 "Paladin" | The Gold Standard
Artillery is one of the most important factors of any armed force, something that has been true for literally centuries, and in the modern day, it is rightfully referred to as "The God of War". Throughout the Cold War, the American M109 was the gold standard by which all other self-propelled howitzer designs would be compared, and its influence has shaped the concept of artillery itself ever since.

If you've spent any time at all looking into the military space, you'll most likely have heard the Su-27 fighter referred to as a 'Flanker', or seen the Mi-24 helicopter go by the name 'Hind', but these names are not given by the Russians themselves. Instead these are NATO reporting names. What are NATO reporting names? Well......... ═════════════════════════════════ 0:00 Intro 1:57 What are NA...

For some forty-five years, the US Army has sought a viable replacement, for the M551 Sheridan airborne assault vehicle, in order to provide the airborne divisions with mobile, protected firepower. Well, it's finally here; the M10 "Booker"... Let's discuss it. ═════════════════════════════════ - Major John W.

Germany's New KF51 Panther Tank | The Spearhead of a New Generation?
Просмотров 649 тыс.Год назад
For over four decades, the concept of the European Main Battle Tank has been dominated by the Leopard 2, to the point where it's almost impossible to imagine a world in which this legend no longer serves on the battlefield. Rheinmetall however appear to feel differently, unveiling their KF 51 Panther MBT concept at Eurosatory in June of 2022. Equipped with an autoloading 130mm smoothbore main g...
What Are Those Cages on Russian Tanks? | Koala Explains: "Cope Cages" (& Why They're Not Working)
Просмотров 163 тыс.Год назад
Perhaps the most famous, or infamous, point of interest when it comes to the Russian equipment sent to Ukraine in 2022, is the presence of large rooftop cage armor pieces, nicknamed "Cope Cages". Initially reported as an anti-Javelin measure, after the Ukrainian army took delivery of shipments of the deadly top-attack missiles, their failure in this role has lead many to believe that some other...

In the world of mechanised infantry warfare, the Soviet BMP is without a doubt the industry leader in its class of IFV's, serving with dozens of nations in many different variants, and remaining in production to this day. While a far from perfect vehicle, the BMP has been so influential throughout the Cold War period that it cornered the international market right across the world, and despite ...

AMAR CHA EKTU BESHI.
AEMYTA APNI E PARLEN.S SIR.
M10 Booker is the Sherman revisited with a better gun. Like the M10 Tank destroyer with better armor. M10's fired HE most of the time both direct fire and indirect fire. M18 TD were almost too fast to be of use in supporting infantry but very good at killing tanks. My only worry is role creep and ensuring ammo is always available for resupply. For background Tarawa taught the Marines the Importance of having lots of ammo on board so they could fight for a full day.
Harriers may have "Pedestrian speeds" though they do things that no other jet can be proven to do to the same effect, consistently.
wings break too much bruh

Why is it that when a brown skinned soldier gets something named after him, he has to share it with a pale skinned soldier? Ive never heard of the military naming anything after two people at the same time. So, finally, they name something after a brown soldier, and he has to share. I find that pretty ironic! I dont mean to make anything about race, but I cant help but to notice, unless somone can show me where they have done this before, which I highly doubt.
That is honestly a fair point, however this is also the first time a US vehicle has been named after troops who were not Generals (Patton, Abrams, Bradley, Sheridan, Sherman etc.). I do wonder how much that plays into it
@ArmorCast Yes, you are definitely right about that! Most are definitely named after Generals. I can't argue that at all! I mean, I guess it just depends on which of these two soldier's names came up first. If it was the brown soldier, then my point possibly still stands. If it was the pale soldier, then I'd assume they had two Bookers from two different time periods and wanted to try something different by naming a tank after them both! It could also be that same latter scenario if the brown soldier's name was first. However, I can't help but think what I initially thought. I mean, bcuz that's normally the case for the most part when it comes to anything dealing with my people! Like I said, though. I didn't want to make it about race, I just couldn't help but notice it, but you made a fair point as well, though!
I've always been curious as to why nobody has tried putting the A-10's rotary cannon on a wheeled, or tracked chassis? Is it not a viable anti-tank weapon anymore?
It never really was. It's great at taking out BMPs, BTRs and MTLBs, other stuff like that, as well as hitting machine gun nests or suppressing enemy troop positions... but by the time it entered service, the main battle tanks of the day were already pretty well defended against it. Contrary to popular belief, tank-busting has never been the A-10's job. Couple that with the size, weight and recoil force of the GAU-8, and it's just not worth trying to integrate into a ground vehicle, even for its capabilities against light armored vehicles and other threats. As for why they never tried it... ... they did. General Electric submitted a proposal to the DIVAD program (divisional air defence) mounting a shortened version of the A-10's gun on an M48 tank chassis... it was not successful. There was also the T249 Vigilante with its gigantic 37mm rotary cannon (with a full 4 seconds worth of ammo!) and then vehicles like the LAV-AD with its rotary 25mm or the Russian Pantsir and Tunguska with 30mm guns... but none of them are effective against tanks.
The 992 never gets any love lol
Was the one of the last classes at Sill to train up on the ol M110 8in spent the majority of my time on the 109 17 yrs to be exact then I went into the Trans Corps and retired

It’s Quite Strange How The Thud, Arguably The Worst Aircraft Of The Vietnam War, Still Has The Record For Most Air To Air Gun Kills In Vietnam
Worthless hamper. We keep seeing flying russian tank turrets
Look at these pro-russian turds...crawling from the woodwork cause you dare insult the mighty T-90! (A tank with alot of losses), but how dare you not insult western tanks! (Even though you did, their just to lazy or stupid to watch the leopard video.)
I started on Cheiftain, then Chally 1, then Scorpion. Left before we got Chally2. I've been in a Scorpion at max speed on a West German road, and have a track split, - We ended up doing a 360 and ended up in a ditch with ground where the sky had been. 60MPH? Bring it on I say!
Outdated in the age of drones.
The US Army knows better than you.
The Mechanicus soundtrack was an excellent choice for this video.
am I going crazy or is that the Grim Hex theme playing in the back of this video
Peobably the B25 mitchell
New drone food , save our money and buy a shit load of new toys . What a waste of money
Drones are only as significant a threat as they are now, because they were relatively new and unexpected in the role and capacity they've been used in, in conflicts like Ukraine. Going forward, heavy development work has been put into short range air defence (SHORAD) and vehicles like the M10 are coming as standard with significant radio jammer suites in order to protect them from drones from above as well as IEDs from below.
I like that it has a rifled barrel. Why don't MBTs?
A number of reasons - rifled barrels are more complex and expensive to manufacture and maintain, they reduce velocity and therefore range, and when firing fin-stabilised and/or sub-calibre projectiles, they're actually less accurate than smoothbore guns. They are MORE accurate when firing full-bore conical projectiles, but MBTs don't use full-bore shells anymore. The M10 Booker though will get a lot of use out of its HESH ammunition, which just so happens to be a full-bore conical shell
I worked on the A2 back in 1985. it was awesome. glad to see this is still being upgraded. Much love from Texas!
very nerd emoji video made by a britbongian
In other news, the bots are trying _reeeeeeaaally_ hard to convince people that up is down, the sky is green and that T-90 > M1 Abrams, aren't they?
What do you mean the T-90 sucks? It is an amazing space-launch system. Have you seen how high it can fire those lunar landers? ... ... ... ...what do you mean, "It's a tank, not a launch plattform?" I don't understand?"
Russian tanks, "ejecting" crew modules for crew safety since 1944
OP should make himself a cope cage to sit in, because this aged terribly.
The centurion is Britain’s first MBT. It’s also the world’s first MBT. Not sure why a guy as knowledgeable as koala forgot this
Bit of a technicality. Chieftain was Britain’s first MBT that was DESIGNED as an MBT from the get-go. The Centurion was actually designed as a standard medium tank during WW2, and then became what’s called a “gun tank”, same as the M47 Patton, the M103, and the FV214 Conqueror (the latter two of which are often erroneously called “heavy tanks”). The first Centurion model that can be considered a proper main battle tank is the Mk.9 (or the Mk.7/2, but from memory the Mk.9 actually came first). A lot of people mistake the “main battle tank” as just being an alternate name for the “medium tank” in a world where “heavy tanks” no longer exist… but that’s not the case. Medium tanks, heavy tanks, gun tanks, and main battle tanks, are all distinct classes of vehicle. I actually meant to do a dedicated explainer video about this concept, but haven’t yet gotten around to it. The old RUclips channel of ManyMilesAway has a decent explainer on the gun tank concept though
With the evolution of FPV and suicide drones today, these are proving to be great targets for them and not enough armor to protect these big targets.

This video has aged so poorly by now check your western game changers status in ukraine
Destroyed T-90s in Ukraine: 150+ Including T-90Ms from 2017 (one of which was destroyed by a damn 25mm autocannon!) Destroyed M1A1s (from 1986): 2. I'd say this video's aging pretty well actually
@@ArmorCast usage of T-90s in modern Combat: 300+ Usage of abrams in modern combat: 10 T-90 average lifespan: 1 week Abrams average lifespan: 45hrs(didn't even complete two days in combat!!!!) T-90M survived two bradleys and an fpv drone while being outflanked by them, First Abrams stopped in its tracks from a single drone burning the crew as well Yeah it aged poorly, count as well the saudi M1A2S burned crews in yemen from goat breeders in sandals Fun fact: Ukrainian abrams are M1A1 SA(2000) from US inventory and they are still in service with US army national guard
@@AlexanderK9519 *Stares at Desert Storm* Are you sure about that?
@@Techno_Idiotoaah yes DESERT STORM a great example that US army has never fought anything more modern than export 70s T-72s and 60s T-55s and T-62s and houthis would like to know your location i'm waiting for your coping excuses
Any research into the T-90 shows its been knocked out by the same threats as the Abrams...the difference? No one pretends the Abrams is invincible...unlike the T-90 supporters 🤷♂️ say watcha want man, the T-90 sucks just like the Abrams does
Cage armour really took off during The Syrian Civil War.
yes you are right. As a youngling fresh out of the womb, i believe that the the variants are just being renamed for example: t 90 a.
I knwo that this video is a few years old but.... as we saw in ukraine a t90 can destroy an American Abrams
There'd be something very wrong if it couldn't... Keep in mind that the T-90s seen in Ukraine are 20 years newer than Ukraine's Abrams (M1A1 variant). Even then, we're looking at 2 destroyed Abrams (at least one of which is repairable) to over a hundred and fifty destroyed T-90s (very few repairable)...
