  • Awesome video. Awesome!

  • you put an effort in this. Congrats, that's a nice video.

  • Amazing syncing with the music and the footage! Love the "tank drums" the best!

  • THIS IS AWESOME MAN!! GREAT JOB!!!!

  • You should re-do this in hi-def or something

  • Keletoniate the tower at 4:40 is a light house,

  • si vis pacem para bellum

  • @DelLagos666 Du Freak! ;)

  • @SimsonSchwalbenPilot

    Latein FTW! ^_^

  • can enyone tell me what that tower at 4:40 is ?

  • I wonder who will win in a fight between a modern day jet fighter and a colonial viper MKII. Who do you think will come out victorious? I'd have to say the viper.

  • @GammaWing1 That would be a *really* epic flight/fight to watch... I don't know if a Viper could handle that "cobra" + loop the SU-27 pulls at 1:58 though, so the Сухой might get a shot at getting behind the MkII.

    That being said... yes, I'm a nerd/geek for engaging in that kind of elaborate thinking, but still, I think it would be awesome to watch!

  • @dire5 Would never happen. Modern air fights are all BVR, no dogfight involved, just who's got the better radar and missiles wins.

  • @Galf506 If we're talking reality, I'm 100% in agreement with you...then again, that was also US doctrine at the outset of Vietnam, and reliance on missiles/radar didn't work so well (I'll spare myself the embarrassment of sounding like Michael Ironside from Top Gun heh).

    But we must remember we're talking about a fictional space fighter that engages in dogfights, so instead of BVR we need to consider ITS - It's "in the script" for it to happen, since this is entertainment, not real :)

  • Excellently put together and synched. One of my favorite videos.

  • This shows that Humans are Warriors..... Too much TV Tropes.....

  • Human beings are scary creatures :S

    

  • Just another video glorifying war...

  • @smokndarasta Isn't it a perfect depiction of reality ?

    Mankind has grown strong in eternal struggles and it will only perish through eternal peace.

  • @STARD00R indeed it is. through war, nations are born and destroyed. People are lost and made. And through war mnkind reveals just how deadly and destructive it is

  • Imagine some alien generals, watching this video.

    "They equipment is primitive, their weapons are still only kinetic and their drives are still relying on fosile fuels. They don't know shields, hyperdrives or energy weapons, but they have fascinating need for power and blood. We think that their aggresion and will to kill each other for power and money is very useful, if it's turned to somebody outside their world..."

  • if you make a HD version of this, I will love you forever :D

  • Just watched this again after about 2 years, still get the tingles! Honestly,this track and the video cut so well for each other :)

  • @w00dy101

    Exactly the same experience here. Epic song, epic video. I will keep it bookmarked.

  • Der Leopard 2 hats dir aber angetan wat? ^^

  • Well put together.

  • How stupid can we be, and is mankind. Just watch and enjoy how we destruct ourselves.

    GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU

  • Коммунистическая Россия является Лучшей !!!

  • This is the most awsome thing i've ever seen. Please make more like this.

  • 1:08 missle colision

  • GREAT WORK!!!

  • What a piece. Love it!!! Nice video editing

  • YOU DO THAT ? ????????? Who you really are ? The god of video montage ?

  • Perfect!

  • OH MY GOD I LOVE IT!

  • TheRealSYNCO!

  • "...and there shall be wars and rumors of wars..."

  • Excellent editing. Wish I had a copy of your original avi file.

  • Comment removed

  • @schmekka you should play arma2 instead :p

  • @TheREALSisko he should join the army instead

  • @schmekka faggot. join the military instead

  • @Raikuaza been there, done that. home guard is the place for me

  • Very well done and nicely tucked together. You are quite good at this. Keep up the good work

  • this one clearly wins the Great Youtube Synching Contest for the years 1995-2010 !!!!

  • The sync is incredible. I can't even imagine how many hours you've spend on making that vid :) Nice job!

  • Great job. I know how long this stuff takes... nicely done!

  • found this by accident nice video sisko

  • Wow! This could be the best frakking video on YOUTUBE. Well done dude.

  • Best military mash-up vid, EVER! I hate you didn't get the last few seconds of that song in, but still. Oustanding work. Fantastic choices and editing.

  • if your traumatized by this video, you need to grow the fuck up. This is reality, war is here, it wont be going away.

  • 1:34 is all black and white and the guys got M16???

    Damn how old is that gun?

  • @Foobyking9000 That's footage from the Vietnam war and its not black and white. Just shit quality :)

  • @TheREALSisko No offense I liked the video with the exception that it didn't end with the drum solo, like the original song, I just find those few seconds to be the most hair raising moments of the song.

  • @christian3092 I agree, its the part of the track I love the most too. The type of scenes that would have been needed to go with it however, we're ones I deemed to horrific in the end to include. The last part is up to your imagination instead.

  • @TheREALSisko do not clip this very title. best music ever. gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. and according to winamp that's about 200 times. quite an accomplishment for such a long title :D

  • @Foobyking9000 The basic AR-15 design (That the M16 and M4 families are based on) has been around since 1957.

  • @Foobyking9000 60's

  • @Foobyking9000 as far as i know the m16 was develop during the vietnam war, it was supposed to be used insted of the m14 for the army and marines.

    the first m16 model is called M16A1

  • @j3rry1337 nowadays we use the M4 a highly modified variant of the m16 with a lot of upgrades, that make it an awesome weapon

  • @Foobyking9000 OLD AS DINOSAURS AND THE FUCKER REFUSES TO RETIRE.

  • @Foobyking9000 I believe it entered service in early models during the Korean war (1950-1953).

  • @Foobyking9000 well, the M2 Browning is from 1905 I think, so there are older guns :P

  • God help the alien race who mistakes us for low-hanging fruit.

  • @IlluminatiEliteTV we kind aare though :P were stupid bastards who make weaponms that can kill us off hundreds of thousands times over.

    were also a very determined species that doesnt take well to bastards ruling us :P

  • @IlluminatiEliteTV

    No intelligent race would even screw with us. You don't jack around with crazy people. Look what we flew to the moon in. We thought we were the shit back then.

  • the slow motion missle was a nice touch

  • Can I ask were you found some of the tank videos? The high speed ones suchs as the one fire on the ramp and the one doing a 180 spin.

  • @Kilroy020 youtube

  • @TheREALSisko lol, should have guessed.

  • where can i find this song?

  • Wow that was beautiful, if war could be this is it! thanks A lot!

  • this is frakin awesome

  • This should be on commercials for the Military Channel.

    It's just that good!

  • I wasnt traumatized thats for sure! In fact inspired! I'm joining the AF soon.

    War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

    John Stuart Mill....

    Great Video BTW freaking awesome and very well timed music and video. 5 stars!

  • Video is Amazing... Perfectly timed video everything is put right on the dot! Kudos amazing song...

  • What and where is the poor air craft at 1:38? What happened?

  • @lowerlowerhk I believe it was from the Malvinas / Falklands War , I think it was on an attack run, I'm not sure if it crashed, as far as I understand the footage was shot during a battle, so its attacking/being attacked here from what I know.

  • @lowerlowerhk Argentinian A4Qs attacking the Royal Navy during the action that crippled and eventually sank HMS Ardent.

  • That was INTENSE

  • well put together, but essentially fundamentally sad. On a basic level it is a glorification of tragedy, I'm a war gamer myself.

    If you can't deal with my comment, the issue is not mine, as it is a fundamental truth.

    Anyway I hope you can see my side of the fence as well.

  • I am rather horrified and feels sickened by this video.

    This is tremendously well made video, and I don't doubt that. What I came to doubt, is a direction of Human civilization. What has human high-technologies produced? Deadly weapons of destruction.

    The array of weapons and scenes of war compiled in this video, with Battle-promotingly paced music of BSG, looks as if it was made to show that war is the humanity's nature, direction, and Raison D'etre. THAT F*CKIN SCARES me.

  • well done.

  • Sisko, I regularly stop by to see this vid, I can't get satisfied with it and I can't tell you how great it is, it's somewhat insipiring I must say....

  • This is one of the most intense videos I've ever seen on Youtube. The beginning with the Argentinian war set the mood together with the soldiers showing obvious signs of fatigue really set the mood, then came the more technical shots of tanks, air planes and explosions. Together with the moment of the napalm bombing at ca 04:20 a realization came to me "Those are some peoples homes, man." Then around 05:00, we see what can ultimately happen in war. It's a great piece of editing and a great video

  • This shits makes me horny

  • Frakkin' good editing mate.

  • 1:59

    lol almost viper manuver

  • lol So true!

  • Very cool video and very non-partisan. It is what it is and it's war. Very well edited; it's almost like watching a Koyaanisqatsi segment.

  • This is fucking crazy, its synched perfectly. Very nice.

  • You put this together beautifully, and the fact that its all synced with one of McCreary's pieces from BSG is just fucking awesome =D

  • Battlestar Galactica had the best music on tv, it was always so EPIC.

  • I never get tired of this viedo! Great Job!

  • Me neither. Every single clip has it's place and fits perfectly with the music.

  • Stunning!

  • move AaronjEstes what makes this song good if you ever watched BSG..its theme with the video its a perfect match for the Savagery of combat. Ive never been in it but i had a few friends and uncles that have been in combat. It cuts to a mans soul and its a heavy burden for them to carry the rest of there lives. I dont care what side you fought on its a fact.

  • Comment removed

  • spectacular!

  • amazing

  • I must say, this is a very well put together video - I, too, downloaded the BSG soundtrack a while back and was completely blown away (this with 'Admiral and Commander' and 'Allergo' are my personally favorites).

    Kinda confused by all the bizarre comments on this one - I personally just find the song... how to say... intellectually primeval in its setup. As for the video, it matches the music perfect! That is as far politically or morally as I will take it.

    Great job, excellent vid!

  • What is this song name?

  • "prelude to war", soundtrack of Battlestar Galactica, second season.

  • i love when the opanzer black and white tanks go full speed, jumping over the duynes.. friggin bad ass. oh there wsa one thing you might add, i didn't see it but it could be in there.

    whatch the Officail what i've done music video from likin park. in one cut scene they have a guy with a flame thrower running up like some badass and stopping to fire his flame thrower

  • the video is awesome

  • Nothing more beautiful that full mobilization.

  • Comment removed

  • war is just wrong

    but if you have to fight it for the greater good then ...... you hae to.

    But who could say the wars faught in mid 20 century were fights for the greater good

    when simple dialogu and certain action not aggression could avoided !

  • the nature of war never changes. but the characteristics do. People in the past are no different than people today. Ever since the beginning of human history, people have been trying to kill each other off! I'm sure simple dialog and certain actions were attempted to prevent wars in the past just like it has today. That alone will not stop war

  • IF these peole are uincilvilaised and want war

    There a lot of other people who don't

    Most Politiciams are to blame

  • civilized or not... politicians or no politicians, people go to war. Regardless if they dont or not, civilizations or groups go to war. Look in the history books buddy

  • They go to war because someone told then to go.

  • The fact that some people are being traumatized by this video makes me worry about the condition of our race far more than the content of this presentation does.

  • who was traumatized?

  • @TheREALSisko

    People who make posts along the same vein as "why...?"

  • @TheREALSisko victims of these wars and veterans... their life wont be normal never anymore

  • @TheREALSisko but got agree video was nicely edited and i have always liked McCrearys BSG soundtrack

  • very well done. oh and to answer the people that say why? General Douglas Macarthur stated that "no one hates war more than a soldier". We fight because thats what makes us human....

  • I especially like how you capture the burden which each soldier carries. The shot of the soldiers preparing their ammo and the anxiety on the soldiers face is a great touch. And after all the technology display you show an american soldier in Vietnam and his fear. Really amazing work!

  • cheers , I'm glad people can see it the way I saw it while editing, and not as just random clips.

  • This video is absolutely beautiful! I have watched it at least a hundred times. It captures the essence of man kind. Our eternal struggle to improve and evolve which will always lead us to conflict. War is our nature.

  • So did I! I perfectly agree with your statement, too. Well said.

  • The timing was great for the video. Very nice!

  • Ive watched your video many many times as well as the people that post. and i have to say i am sorry for the dumb people that dont know when to shut the front door and not say disrespectful stuff.

    I first this video when it had 22,000 hits :)

  • Nice work.

  • nice man.

  • This is beautiful. Terrible, but beautiful.

  • what's the point of this comment?

  • It's fairly obvious isn't it? War sucks. It's destructive, people die. But it has a certain rhythm and an ugly energy. The music and images convey that nicely.

  • Iran, Israel, USA - big battle is comming

  • war... war never changes...

  • we can't survive like this.

  • /k/ allowed

  • more and more....carnage!!!!!!!

  • ha that was awesome and depressing at the same time

  • Mobilization, mans greatest art!

  • Just one question ....... why??

  • Just one answer .... Why not?

  • Man has dominated man to his injury.

  • All of this has happened before...

  • and it will happen again...

    so say we all

  • Outstanding!

  • fucking amazing ass shit, i watched it all slack jawed.

    dude, seriously, holy dicks.

  • amazing editing man!

  • OUTSTANDING!!!

  • The editing was amazing. Great job. I just wish you could have gone into the last movement because that's the best part of Prelude to War, imo.

  • I agree its my favourite part too, but the kinda of footage I would have needed to go with that, well, I didn't wanna go that far.

  • Meh, fair enough. Great job though.

  • what is that piece it is amazing. I would very much like to know the composer please.

  • Bear McCreary is the composers name check out his work he's a genius.

  • Very fucking cool. Your editing is top-notch, and the music is beautiful.

  • Great movie. 5 stars.

  • So how much time did the cutting of this take?

  • I know a German Leopard, but there are M1s in this aslo. I should know since I served as a US Army tanker for 12 years on them.

  • 12 years? that's a lot of time, man... or should i say "sir". I'm just curious about one thing... does it get hot in there, especially with that huge turbine engine in the back? And is that M1 really an easy target for a heat-seeking missile?

  • The heat is blown out the back (great for warming up the MREs). It does get hot inside during the summer and cold in the winter if the heater isnt working which is most of the time. The NBC system can be used to keep you cool, but it isnt all that great. I'm sure a heat seeking missle can detect the engine.

  • Thanks for the info but i'm not entirely up-to-date with the abbreviations (like MRE and NBC).

    Overall i take it there are some problems with inside conditions, like temperature/humidity.

    Btw, in all your years of service on that tank, did they receive upgrades of any kind or were they just the same from the day they came out the factory doors? I saw they have some pretty advanced targeting systems but i also noticed the gun is smooth, not rifled like that of the Challenger. thx for your reply.

  • MRE - Meal Ready to Eat which is basically crap in a package.

    NBC - Nuclear/Biological/Chemical

    The inside is hot as hell in the summer, especially if you got the hatches closed. If the heater dont work, ice will form on the ceiling of the turret in the winter.

    I started out on the basic M1 - 105 MM, rifled. Before Desert Storm we upgraded to the M1A1 which had the smooth bore . They have the M1A2 now which has all kinds of geewhiz stuff in it, But I got out before they arrived.

  • 3:14 to 3:23 WTF? Can somebody explain that? O_o

  • its a tank shell filmed with a high speed camera. Probably a sabot round.

  • wow, that was very well put together!

  • I'm speechless ... great work, awesome editing !... you have all my respect on this one

  • I love this!

  • This video is a very interesting concept.Mainly due to the use of Prelude to War with real world footage. Good job

  • Thanks

  • USA M1A2 ABRAMS!

  • Wrong, that`s German Leopard 2A4

  • OUTSTANDING! A great job on this!

  • holy shit those tanks r fastt

  • look up the battle star galactica sound tracks for the new seires should have it on one those if cant find it by its self or check place that sale old music and stuff like for one half price books might have it
