despite the discovery-american propaganda....this documentary have like 10 years old at least...I remember seen several years ago...now T90.... leopard 2A7for expample does exist ;)
well thats why there is such thing called the wolveriene (heavy assault bridge) and pontoon bridges the only advantage the russians have is that they have more tanks than the us and europe combined
2:52 "the challenger has a diesel engine, its less powerful than the gas turbine engine of its' american counterpart but its transmission and hydropneumatic suspension allow it to travel just as fast"
yh thats all true but what they didnt state was "and without the need of a 5 truck escort for fuel"
@patrikasLTL Yea dude, everyone knows Russia is the strongest!!!111
Give it a rest already. Russia's MBT is a small update on the 40 year old T-72, called the T-90. It has very little of the modern technology used by modern NATO tanks.
the challenger 1 was decommissioned 2 years before the A2s commission... bit of an odd comparison, but the challenger 1 was probably a sound contender
Well they could if there were an actual way to combine the power of a deisel engine, yet be as quiet as a turbine gas engine. But unfortunately we don't have that kind of technology yet.
@nutterforever to be honest I'd rather be loud than have a gas turbine. Yes, during the day they know a diesel is coming, but at night a diesel can be fairly well shrouded. The gas turbine's heat signature is visible from space (literally).
I don't know why something like a wankel isn't used...they're mounting one now on new -A2s as an APU, but a wankel is, performance wise, a direct compromise between a diesel and a turbine, with regular exhaust.
@dvdprui ahh yes another plus for the challenger btw not only is the heat signture is visable it comes from the back so if somone fires a heat seeker at u it will hit the back were the engine is witch is the works case senario :/
The LEO 2A6 is better I think. I dont like the sound of the A1, sounds like an airplane due to its gas turbine. Diesel engines are better and more reliable. uses less fuel too.
They are also twice the weight, twice the volume, half the horse power, and only runs on diesel fuel.
For the turbine, the lower weight means more armor; lower volume means a smaller tank and weight/armor savings; and more horsepower means faster. The ability to use gasoline, diesel, or aviation fuel means easier supply.
Reliabilty is about equal. Turbines operate at higher temperatures, but have far fewer part to break. Being smaller, they are easier to replace.
"It can go from 30mph to a full stop in 10 feet..." Yeah right! What a liar! Anyone can calculate that this means deceleration of about 3g which is impossible. Abrams and Leo2 brake at about 0.5g (Leclerc 0.7g). So it can stop from 30mph in about 60 feet...
Lol man...mb it can stop... why not??? u got there few meter's of track on the road, and those tracks are like tires...so it may be able to grip so thight...but on the cross country it's another story
It boils down to: a trillion-dollar-plus-yearly budget for warmaking makes war too profitable & necessary to ever be phased-out; Peace is bad for busisness, especially to nations addicted to the MIC. A trillion-dollars-plus-yearly budget for peace would distribute resources more reasonably & make crucial improvements for many millions of people, but war-industry profits would dry-up -- so it will never be practical or feasable. Modern Warfare is the triumph of technology over reason & humanity.
Most likely 240. SAW stands for Squad Automatic Weapon. The Abrams uses a 240 coaxial and pintle the Leo 2 uses MG3 coaxial and pintle the T90 uses a PKT coaxial and no pintle.
anyone know the name of the background soundtracks used in the program (assuming they're from the same artist) - particularly the bit starting at 7:20 ??

That loader is shit slow !, and why the commander giving ranges ? Gunners laser out ? what kind of command is FIRE ANOTHER ONE ?, never heard that one before ?, try TARGET GO ON !, Looks like Queens reg !, happy with 9 out of 14 !, should have been ashamed and sent out again !
