wwII americans went to war because Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and for economical reason!
The Us companies made a fortune during the war and much more with the Marshall plan. Ok it helped us but don't say they came just because they're nice guys. The drag is that americans can't never leave!!! Without De Gaulle they would still be here telling us what to do who to fight!!
Anyway america's declining!! Thank God ! RIP America!!!
back to General De Gaulle who understood that Americans politicians and militaries were not as nice as they said. He first had americans to leave the country right after the end of the war because he knew they wouldn't otherwise then he made us leave nato( he was right to do so!!) so we could fight the wars we decide to fight.Mr Sarkozy had us back into nato and where did we go? Afghanistan , following whom ? Americans! Doing what? a shitty war!!!!
Not a bad machine, but "best tank ever" is pushing it abit isn't it, "best tank now" would be pushing it too, Get it combat proven, destroy an enemy tank at over 5100m, 100% reliability rate and a 0% combat loss rate and I might agree, until then it's just an impressive bit of kit to go charging about a field in.
After reading through some of these comments. I just want to take a moment to speak for everyone that isn't French on here. Look, we get it, your country has a wonderful military history, it's true. You've been around for a long long time. But face it, after WWI, your country has been a bit lacking. I do not doubt your current military's ability to fight. And honestly, I'd love to see what you can do, and appreciate you. But please, shut the fuck up. Your shit stinks too. Much respect to you.
@liltrenchrat lets recap...you said " we dug your puny french resistance out of the ruins in WWII, then after loosing you puny argument, you apologize to "anyone who isn't French...adding "Your shit stinks too. Much respect to you" What !!?? dicktrenchrat, I strongly suggest from now you refrain absolutely from commenting on subjects you know nothing about. Unless of course you are conversing with your other brothers and sisters that are featured on the youtube video "Stupid Americans" bye bye!
@ellebal1111 And that wasn't an apology. It was more of a smack in the face for being stuck up douche bags. Then a word of leveling respect. But... of course... there's always you. Fuck off.
@liltrenchrat you've been good entertainment...but no great debater! From the level of your discourse you must be 14 or 18? Get back on the board after digging yourself out of your big hole! I guess "fuck off" is all that remain to be said!
@ellebal1111 "Fuck off" is generally my choice of words for people with your maturity level. Which makes your little jab at me about mine hilarious... For you, little boy, have been acting like a child this entire time. You're one of those people that sits there and goes, "Oh he's American. Thus I can make the assumption he loves Mcdonalds, is fat, brainwashed, and stupid." When in fact that makes you worse than being "American" could ever make me. Seriously, your ignorance > anything.
@liltrenchrat And by the way, if you want to take even a little jab at anyone's maturity level, make sure yours is in check. I decided that I would humor my self by checking your info. Which, to my incredible surprise and disbelief, says that you are a whopping 30 years old. I don't care what you say from this point on, I was convinced that you were some little jack ass High School aged kid acting like an idiot to get a rise out of me. Sigh. Truly sad. At this point you just hurt your self.
@liltrenchrat After all that feeble minded 10 yrs old diatribe, there is really no need to confirm a little jack ass High School aged kid acting like an idiot is all it would take to get a ride out of you! If I were you I would stop the embarassment here.
@liltrenchrat i agree totally with you, i'm not french but i can't stand arrogent comments, about world war 1 Millions died for almost nothing, when you see what our world is going to be in 20 years.
Strange how one episode in the history of France can change the way people look at French military history. If your read about the fight for France in WW2 you will find that they did NOT "drop their guns". They fought hard and lost. French military history is filled with them fighting hard, they lose this time and they are humiliated over and over.
@whirving Same with the USA... We kicked ass in Vietnam and had to leave. But no, everyone in the world acts like we got annihilated or something. Same thing with the French in WWII. Complete ignorance.
What ever you guys say but there is no country in the whole world that be even close in war power to Russia or USA. That is why whole world ripping their asses to hold them on opposite sides.
@France731000 Yes, you helped us way back. That is true. But more recently, we dug your puny french resistance out of the ruins in WWII. Go to school my friend. Read a book, learn something.
@liltrenchrat You're a hateful dickhead! the US army got their asses kicked in Vietnam by a bunch of stone age midgets called the North Vietnamese...and when you were dropping millions of tones of bombs and defoliant with B52, and they fought with home made bamboo grenades... read about history and you'll realize the French can truly be call a warrior nation...unless you're a complete idiot then keep writing this non sense!
@ellebal1111 You've just said some of the most idiotic shit i've ever seen. One, the French went to Vietnam and got their asses kicked by those same "stone age midgets". Two, the US beat the SHIT out of the Vietnamese, but lost the minds of the US citizen at home and had to pull out. YOU read about history. I have.
@liltrenchrat OK dicktrenchrat, 1) never said French not lost in Vietnam, Kissinger wrote in a secret memo to President Ford "in terms of military tactics, we cannot help draw the conclusion that our armed forces are not suited to this kind of war. Even the Special Forces who had been designed for it could not prevail." Sec of State McNamara concluded "the achievement of a military victory by U.S. forces in Vietnam was indeed a dangerous illusion." wikipedia Vietnam War
@liltrenchrat You may want to flavor the Vietnam defeat by calling whatever you want, like a strategic retreat or an accord...Americans left with their tails between their legs...it was another stupid and unwarranted war just like idiot Bush Iraq campaign, which became a torn on Nixon's side at home.. causing untold misery to the Vietnamese and the Iraqis to this day...with Wikipedia and internet you'd think idiots like you would be getting less stupid comments about other countries...
@ellebal1111 I'm sorry that I pointed out that hilarious flaw in your statement. But you don't have to try and cover your ass with mute points. Which you seem to have intended to list more than one considering your "1)" lol. You really do your self credit to your stupidity. Keep babbling what you like. America left for one reason, NO ONE LIKED THE WAR. And so on to me second, but original point. We, the US, won in nearly EVERY single military engagement with NVA forces. Wikipedia = bad source.
@liltrenchrat You are a truly sad sack of baloney... which sadly is very consistent with you other brethren at home! not convinced? youtube "stupid americans!" Google why we lost south Vietnam, and you may learn your own history " Why did we lose the second half of Vietnam to the hands of the Vietnamese Communist Party while South Vietnam and U.S. forces were armed with better weapons, more sophisticated equipment, supreme fire power?" Google "why we lost south Vietnam"
@liltrenchrat Google "lost battles of the Vietnam war" One theme supported the U.S. military is invincible and can never lose. They claim the U.S. military never lost a battle during the entire Vietnam war. This was disputed most decorated officer of that war, Col Hackworth, in his book "About Face." The U.S. military had every advantage, yet mistakes were made and battles lost. Internet turns up these 50 lost battles of the Viet war! get your finger running, I'll give you an education for free
@ellebal1111 I already know the facts. That's the silly thing about you. You can't seem to gather in the point I'm trying to get across to you. I give up. You are too caught up in your own ego.
@liltrenchrat haha! I like you! I know you already know all the facts... from the Fox channel and Rush Limbaugh surely, these beacons of truth! I just want to humiliate you to the point nobody will ever have to read your condescending comments about other nations, nations that don't piss on the dead, and have fought valiantly in war past, I am am sure will do in future conflict...and I'm not French in case you're wondering! go back to your room play your stupid video war games!!
@ellebal1111 I hate those stations. All propaganda. You make so many ignorant statements about me it is unbelievable. And the point is for YOU to read the things I say. If I wanted people to read these things i'd go and post them on forums where you're meant to converse about things and share each other's ideas. "and have fought valiantly in war past" OH! You mean Americans too? Or do they just go in minds numbed fighting like robots... You're a worthless little sack of shit. Grow the fuck up.
To all the funny morons out there talking shit about France, and who apparently didn't have a proper education in the first place, yea cause if they had they would know that if it wasn't for France, American little kids would sing "God save the Queen" before their baseball matches.
Anyway how old is your country? since 1776? that's like 235 years? LOOOOL gimme a break! France is 1500 years old, it was already kicking ass when your country wasn't even on the maps!!! go learn history morons
Unless the Leclerc and the Abrams go head-to-head in a tank-on-tank engagement; like the Abrams and the T-72 did in 1991, alongside the Challenger Mk2; we will never know; but I stack my chips on the M1A2 SEP for being superior in terms of fire control, speed, accuracy and survivability.The Abrams has been field tested in the desert, not once, but twice (can the Leclerc claim that?)
@transamrobws6 In service only since 1992 (after the Gulf War), the Leclerc has no notable experience in true warzone environments, but has seen deployment on multiple low-intensity conflicts, including 15 AMX-56 Leclerc's stationed in Kosovo (KFOR) and others in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in the context of UN peace-keeping operations, where their performance was judged satisfactory by French officials.
It's nice to have good tanks, but how do you sustain'em with a failing economy ?
Forget war games guys, the military power of A nation doesn't matter anymore. Union shall prevail if we want to keep our values and "independence"
When I see so much people arguing about the French "cowardliness", the American "slutism", or the German I don't know what, along with the "petty" British.
If we were to cooperate militarily, we'd have better tanks, better weapons and we'd have to spend less money.
always american say french are bad because there lost between german in the WWII
- it s 70 years ago so we can t compare today french army and the french army of WWII
- if american won easely the WWII it s because french british and soviets were in war before americans so germans were weakened churchill said that whithout the french army allies would lose the war
While I do enjoy the French cooking style, they pretty much suck in every other way. France looks out for France. Once in awhile they pretend to help others, but only if they will benefit.
Did you know the French were on the German/Italian side at the beginning of WWII? Most people forget that. Look up Operation Torch of 1942. We made them switch sides.
@transamrobws6 France looks out for France, and the US are doing exactly the same thing. Why does Panama exists ? Why do you have so many military bases around the world ? Why did you wage a war against Canada ? Why do you still have so many soldiers around the great lakes ? Why did you go to Irak ?
And there are so much more ...
However I do agree with you about WWII, the French were on the German side for many, maybe more than those that were against.
@Antiteshmis but Still, you have to remember that the Brits sinked their navy during this War. Can you believe how easy it would be for a corrupt gov to make it sound like their old allies turned their backs to them ?
So please, you, who have never been invaded, never ever had to struggle under the occupation and fight to survive on your own territory, don't give the French a lesson, for you don't have the right. Neither do you have the right to judge rebels under YOUR occupation.
@jeffkodiac A tank can not fly, and you confused with the U.S., the innocent .... so have the military or armed might one day attempt to freedom and democracy in your country you will be glad that prevents them from doing ...
@transamrobws6 So you really do believe that panama was created to help the people there ? that the war in Irak wasn't for oil ? that the war in Korea was to help South Korea and not to fight communism, like the war in Vietnam ?
If you think you're right and comment makes a point, think again.
@transamrobws6 Better it is, like all europeans tanks are. Less consumption, faster, more reliable, same armament "similar".... That is just a smarter tank than the abrams. So better. And sorry the abrams is not that good anymore, Challenger is better, Leopard II even more.
@Dodat69 They make better cars than the usa, they have build rockets unlike other european countries, and have their own nukes (not bought from the US) but i have to be honest the famas suck balls. As i Belgian i will always defend the french, but never or their rifles.
@Julio6148 Yeah, they do make some nice cars and some French women are very beautiful too. They just aren't too good at defending themselves. We'll be there to bail em out whenever they need it though
@Dodat69 that's for the second world war, and still they prevented the brittish expeditionay forces from beeing destroyed, and in the first they were good, holding the lines at great cost, But befor our centrury never forget they were brave and maybe the roughtest, they had won wars too and created maybe the greatest general ever, Napoleon.
@Dodat69 Shame we didn't bail out when your stupid country was created. It is the only war i fucking wanted france to lose. Your unarmed untrained peasants would have been ass handed by the british and nowadays we shouldn't have to bear fat hamburger ignorant rednecks insults.
1961=> US GO HOME by order of General Degaulle it looks like you hadn't balls enough fight against people bailing out LOL you got humiliated and mad about it since before that era there wasn't any french joke
@niksarass Thats really mean to say, considering the US along with the other allies helped liberate France during WW2. We gave 40,000+ dead in France (along with 100,000 who spilled blood there), many of whom graves are still there to this day. Add that to the approximately 35,000 who died in France in WW1. America wouldn't exist as it is today without France, and France probably wouldn't be the same without the US. Where does all the French-American animosity come from?
@controlusplease1 The french US animosity came from your part. It's not the french who spread jokes about USA being cowards, nor whiteflags and reverse gears, nor we believe that france saved USA during WW1, nor we invented the term "surrender monkeys".
So maybe if the retard i answered to hadn't start insulting the french, i wouldn't have answered to him ;)
But ur not just hated by the french, there also most of the world for the same reasons stereotypes insults, arrogance
@niksarass Well, anyone who is educated will tell you that France definitely aren't cowards, as they have one of the longest track records for war in history. I think that myth started with ignorants in the US, which is inexcusable, but all countries have their idiots and must not be generalized by them.
As for the whole world hating us, I really think that that is unfair. Its not my fault we have a less than ideal government and racist fools that falsely represent us.
@controlusplease1 I totally agree with you on that point. I see you are educated and true there are ignorants in every country. However take 5 minuts of your time and look at the comments of any video with "french" in the title. You will not see one single fucking page without french being called gays or cowards by an american. That's the sad truth. I have myself american friends i know all are not that way indeed.
All was political Bush/irak, ignorants just follow like sheeps
French forces plead sickness, take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu.
Algerian Rebellion - Lost
Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare: "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Esquimaux..
In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare: "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."
Keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.
@transamrobws6 but why US helped us ? Because after, Germany and Japan (and USSR) wanted Europe and the US wanted it too. They didn't helped us just for free of europe but only for themselves ;) For Coca Cola, Mc Do', Chrysler and others
...France had won 132 Battles in his history, how many war has the u.s won??? you americans are ignorant fool, DUMBASS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD who think french army are the same as 1942 french army...Stop being ignorant.
@jayvy1984 if you mean war as a declared war against a country and not a police action then you could say the united states has never lost a war.battles? really? whatever dude. you little girls couldnt win shit.as i have listed before,you dudes have a poor war history.bitched out when we need your help in OIF. Yet I remember the US saving your asses when you needed our help. Its ok. You can keep your reputation as the bitches of the world.
@jayvy1984 We got help from countries who basically didnt have an army. But I understand that France is too powerful and high and mighty to help out. Go continue to wear red and white stripped shirts and being pussies. When it comes to wars,we win. we are more powerful,better organized,have a better army,a better tank,and our history is steeped in victories in major wars and not little bullshit 'battles" as you call it. So,fuck you and fuck Pepe Le Pew.
That's why we call you dumbass people in the world, you make me laugh...educate yourself and stop being ignorant as typical american you are. You can't even compare the 800 year old of french military war, and big victory, brave fighter with your young country without History......don't forget FRENCH contribution to your independance Lafayette saved your ass against britains, don't forget Native american genocide ( thats difinition of cowards)...and a lot of bulshit you did.
remember when you running away and retreating from Mogadishu
Americans are cowards, you can't fight, Indigenous killer.
Americans are fat, chessburger eater... The world hate you and joke about your stupidity.I am glad china will become the next superpower, you american are just piece of shit. géorges bush is real definition of an american, STUPID, RETARDED, LIAR.
@jayvy1984 all i hear is you crying and probably holding your french pussie cuz it hurts so bad. you cant talk shit because your country is a big piece of shit. all you got is 1 war to talk shit about?wow. you are such a douche bag.well so far we have dominated. the world can suck a dick cuz you motherfuckers are jealous. this tank btw is a big piece of shit.never seen and tank ranking system with that being even remotely close to the Abrams,thats why you will always be under us.
@jayvy1984 thats all you have to say?where is your white flag? you guys tend to use them a lot anyways?.this also goes to show once again,America wins!!!
@transamrobws6 dont be so jealous of our grandeur. Napoléon was worth 3 hitlers, and he spread better values to the world. France is the true héritier of the roman empire, a proud nation that just comitted the error of retiring from conquered countries, letting them rule their helpless countries themselves (ex:algeria). why do everybody hate us? because we have the arrogance of leaving them alone while they know they need our leadership.
@iwao72 trust me,not jealous at all. i dont hate the french at all. someone says fuck America than I get upset.lol.its all really big thing to claim you have the world's greatest tank. its easy to say,but have you battle tested it?you now what i mean? its a great tank but best in the world? dont know about that.
@transamrobws6 (i'm french) you're right because it's a very expensive tank and only a few of them are ready to fight ;) maybe it's the best but if the best can't fight because we need too much money to use it, it's not really the best.
Tu as raison parce-que il est très cher et seulement quelques uns d'entre eux sont prêts pour le combat ;) peut-être que c'est le meilleur mais si le meilleur ne peut pas se battre car il coûte trop cher à faire fonctionner, ce n'est pas vraiment le plus fort.
@transamrobws6 Another Grand Idiot! According to BBC History: "There have been 53 major wars in Europe, France had been a belligerent in 49 of them; UK 43. In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10. Giving the French military the best record of any country in Europe". Let me guess, you're a fat 11 yrs kid perched on a couch 12 hours a day playing war game while eating a Mcfry and a BigMac...
If the French are so great,how come they bitched out when America needed their help? I remember a time when those froggers needed our help and we came and saved the fucking day.
@samados969 and you know what happened after they bombed pearl Harbor,we dropped 2........and I say again..2 bombs and whipped 2 cities off the face of the earth
(French-built but British architect) the bridge has beaten 4 Reccords the world, including the bridge piers were the highest in the world, 245 meters and battery + Pilon: 343 meters, without false modesty, yes, we are proud of our country, like any other, but for some stupid pride THIS IS NOT THE ARROGANCE!!
we have very many researchers who have created:the LECLERC tank,the Rafale fighter,the Tiger helicopter,rail train: TGV, the best formula1 engine:RENAULT,the best car in WRC:Citroen DS3, the Ariane rocket, the Eiffel Tower, the Palace of Versailles as generous donators Americans know very well! the Louvre, the cube of the defense that does not rely on these foundations despite its size and weight, our castles of the Loire, Mont St Michel, the Millau Viaduct
we are arrogant,I think that is the pride of arrogance,the French is a person proud of his country, to put as an American, may be even worse because the U.S. puts his hand on his chest when he hears the national anthem,not the French!I just think that despite the small size of our country from the United States,to Russia or China,
Wikipedia: The Leclerc has an eight-cylinder SACM (now Wärtsilä) V8X-1500 1,500 hp Hyperbar diesel engine and a SESM ESM500 automatic transmission, with five forward and two reverse gears. The official maximum speed by road is 72 km/h and 55 km/h cross country (speeds in excess of 80 km/h were reported on road), so is it a turbine engine ? or you meant Turbo charged ?
I like how the Leclerc has an autoloader built into the back of the turret I suppose it has blowout panels on top to direct an explosion up and away from the crew. Russia needs to take note on this design in the future. I also like the .50 cal coaxial that is a nice arrangement.
The last place on earth to shout his anger to the other peoples,and to re-write history..
Please,open the books that a regim wanted to burn some decades ago..
Don't you see that our real ennemies are dead laughing regarding our ridiculous competition"mine is bigger than yours","Abrahams sucks,Leclerc's better","frogs=white flags holders"...
The type of comments made by true COD specialists,and that cracked up the real soldiers...
@MrSebfrench76 i agreeing,everybody is proud, you, me, everybody... i'm studying tanks. The french leclerc is in many points superior to other tanks ! Each tanks got specification, leclerc is fast, as armoured as Abrahams & posseed the same firepower and rate of fire as T-90 : Auto-reloading system.
BUT to pilot this tank, you have to study for years : it's the most complex tank ever made ! Autoreloading, Target control system & battlefield data system. To refuel it you need special pump system
Do not laugh, this value comes from wikipedia and it states in a book, during a trial in sweden, hence the decision for Leo 2.
quote: en.wikipedia
Leclerc EAU: "Tropicalised" version of the United Arab Emirates; it is fitted with:
EuroPowerPack with the MTU 883 diesel engine of 1,100 kW. The United Arab Emirates have interests in the German company which builds them (MTU) and preferred an engine of their own. This powerplant is more reliable than the French UDV 8X (1,100 kW).
@alvincenthanoi slightly more reliable in hot environment but less efficient for acceleration. V8 Hyperbar is a turbine engine delivering maximum torque at very low speed, perfect for climbing obstacle.
Do not laugh, this value comes from wikipedia and it states in a book, during a trial in sweden, hence the decision for Leo 2.
quote: de.wikipedia
Der Durchschnittsverbrauch der Leclerc-Flotte unter den Bedingungen einer Truppenerprobung der schwedischen Armee mit 1380 Litern pro 100 Kilometern lag deutlich über dem der Leopard 2 mit 720 Litern.[4]
Too much radioactiv food and consanguinity altered your brain.
Just talk about you really know. Like interracial porn or masturbation. You'll never surrender just because the only risk you take is breaking your neck every time you try to self-suck your dick.
je suis français et nous avons une histoire qui remonte a 1500 ans si on compte a partir du premier roi de france et 2500 ans avec les gaulois sa nous fait donc 2500 de guerre les etat unis sa fait que 300 ans
You must be trolling cause no one could be this ignorant. Just in case you truly are an ingorant retard, here's some history for you: The US and England freed France, not Russia. The US also stopped the aggression of Japan in Asia. The US is the reason the French don't speaking German. Accept it.
@Dodat69 you are an ignorent too, Without the french the US would still be brittish. And without the french europe would have been under domination of the arabs. Every country owns something to another, that just call history. Peace.
First, the Arabs weren't invading Europe, it was mostly the French in the Middle East trying to restore access to Holy places in & near Jerusalem
Next, You can not call me ignorant because I never said the French didn't do anything significant in history. I'm aware of old alliance between France and the colonies that eventually became the USA. As for countries owing something to another, the US repaid its debt to France by kicking the Germans out of it. US owes nothing to France.
@Dodat69 No arabs never did????? Stupid cunt, Spain was under their control for hundred years, it's Charle Martel who drove them back in spain. And long before the crusades my friend.
@Dodat69 and france owns nothing to the the US . So stop saying we'll be speaking german, without them, we'll never know! Ans in my opinion it was more because of the russians we're free now.
well i disagree the arabs invaded europe they occupied castille "Spain" for hundreds of years, and yes it was the franks who stopped the muslim advances and pushed them back over the Pyrenees,and its maybe so that USA owes nothing to France but France owes nothing to USA either and besides i dont understand why you are so hostile against france they are USA first and oldest allied. USA and France have been allied for over 230 years. im swedish btw and we produce excellent firearms^^
@Dodat69 "I'm aware of old alliance between France and the colonies that eventually became the USA"....Hey retard, North America (yes, this include your country!) has been called "New France " longer then it has been called USA...You must have been the kid that dragged the US SAT score down to the 30th position in reading...I'd just shut up from now on...
@ellebal1111 I think you're a bit off but if you can't do simple math then there is no point in me explaining why you're New France statement is a load of crap. I am actually the poor kid who did well in school, got a military scholarship along with a few academic scholarships. I later served as an officer in the Air Force which paid for my MBA while I also earned a PMP certification along with other certs. I got out to make $125k a year not counting bonuses that I pick up here and there.
@Dodat69 Load of crap!? New France was the area colonized by France in North America with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with the cession of New France to Great Britain in 1763. New France extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains, Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. (229 yrs) formal end of war did not occur until Treaty of Paris September 3, 1783 which officially recognized America's independence. (228years) Well educated!? and stupid!
@ellebal1111 We declared our independence in 1776 and became an entity then which is the birth of America. Otherwise, there would not have been an entity to be at war with or an entity to have a treaty with. The treaty was between Great Britain and America and its Allies. If the war was between France and Britain and somehow the Americas were then establish then you would be correct but this is not the case. America was born the minute we declared it and the beating we gave out was our proof
@Dodat69 There you go again, you are starting to make me believe that although you claim to be well educated you keep putting your foot in your mouth! I told you the answer and you still don't get it! I'm not even an american and I know more about the birth of your country then you..here I go again, take notes...Independence declared (by the Continental Congress) on July 4, 1776, but it wasn't until Britain surrendered at the end of the Revolution in 1783 that de facto independence achieved.
@Dodat69 Great Britain formally recognized the US in the Treaty of Paris of 1783. "His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, etc..... and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof." con't
@Dodat69 Kosovo for instance declared itself independant from Serbia in 1990, then again in 2008...it is only after a long dispute, having been recognized by 77 countrie, protracted legal motions by Serbia and her allies (Russia), that kosovo became officially independant on July 22, 2010, the International Court having ruled that the declaration did not violate international laws...I don't believe you can comprehend this concept, I have written it for the benifit of other readers...
As of May 2010, no member-country of CIS, CSTO or SCO has recognised Kosovo as independent. The advisory opinion, which is legally non-binding but had been expected to carry "moral" weight,[137] was rendered on 22 July 2010, holding that Kosovo's declaration of independence was not in violation of international law.
I do not feel that this means Kosovo does not exist. However, I DO understand how you would purposely leave facts out of your statement to help spread your ignorance
@Dodat69 "no member-country of CIS, CSTO or SCO has recognised Kosovo as independent." Hey, dip shit, these are countries within Russia and China sphere of influence, like Serbia they resisted Kosovo's independence for obvious reasons...but you being an idiot American, would not have known about that!
@Dodat69 A more apt question that should suit your child's view of the world, would be an 11yrs old declaring its independance to the world (parents and neighbours!) would you recognize him as independant then? or the parents or neighbours recognize his independance at 18 after slamming the parental door for good and truly getting on with his life independently ei; school, working, appartment etc?!! Get it??! I understand now that you must be in the "concierge" department with the US Army...
@ellebal1111 So what your analogy is saying is that you're born when you are independent of your parents? That's silly because regardless of whether or not a person is independent has nothing to do with when they came to existence. I am sorry that you are middle aged in our eyes but not in your own because you still live at home in your mother's basement. con't
@ellebal1111 And even if your analogy had bearing, young children here in the US have become emaciated from their parents through financial independence (some have made fortunes), legal marriage, or military service. Concierge probably wouldn't have led me to where I am now, but if I were one, whenever someone would ask me where's a place to find women with an absence of men, I'd tell them to go to France.
@Dodat69 "Concierge probably wouldn't have led me to where I am now, but if I were one, whenever someone would ask me where's a place to find women with an absence of men, I'd tell them to go to France."??!! I'm giving up, you're too f$%#@g stupid!
@Dodat69 Where are you Dickda69...just noticed "emaciated" means weak and sickly... did you mean "emancipated"!!? which would be more appropriate in the feeble minded context you're trying to demonstrate...there goes your claim of being well educated...pitiful! English is my second language by the way...learn it when I was 18...I miss you already!
@ellebal1111 Anyway, you're best shots at throwing out ignorant insults only amused me but maybe you're really hurt. I just want you to know that I will no longer entertain myself at your expense. This video doesn't deserve the hits that it's been receiving from these discussions or my time (even though you're a complete joke that made me laugh a few good times). Don't worry, I don't really hate France, in fact, it's too insignificant to earn my opinion. Carry on if you will but no one cares
@Dodat69 You can dish it out anytime you want, I did not mind perfecting your substandard american dysfunctional education...and making you look like a grand fool! I'm sure other readers will benefit as well from our exchange. Better watch out, I will check on you once in a while and correct our in the event you venture back on the message board and put another foot in your mouth...This was a lot of fun!
@ellebal1111 By the way, the New France is another example of the French failing when it comes to war. Thanks for pointing it out.
Also, you can thank the US for your ability to argue with me on a computer over the internet on YouTube. You're welcome for all 3 but it seems that you're not getting more intelligent as we were hoping would happen.
In the time of the French empire , a part of USA was called New France what he said is not crap as you said . Don't be so arrogant don't forget that in the 7 years war in the north America the French was 80 000 inhabiitant against more than 1 millions of British and the French at this time fought also in Europe .
@Dodat69 "another example of the French failing when it comes to war." I will correct you again dip shit. "There have been 53 major wars in Europe, France had been a belligerent in 49 of them; UK 43. In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10, giving the French military the best record of any country in Europe". I did not make this up like your feeble simplistic lies, it comes from the BBC!
@Julio6148 Ya ya lets face the truth France is nothing but Arabs :) Yes tank looks good in the video but you can not compare it to Abrams caz Abrams is all time at war means it is upgrading due to battle needs and i never see this French beauty in action against other tanks. & last no one owns no one if not US & Russia you'd be German colony once & forever.

back to General De Gaulle who understood that Americans politicians and militaries were not as nice as they said. He first had americans to leave the country right after the end of the war because he knew they wouldn't otherwise then he made us leave nato( he was right to do so!!) so we could fight the wars we decide to fight.Mr Sarkozy had us back into nato and where did we go? Afghanistan , following whom ? Americans! Doing what? a shitty war!!!!

Not a bad machine, but "best tank ever" is pushing it abit isn't it, "best tank now" would be pushing it too, Get it combat proven, destroy an enemy tank at over 5100m, 100% reliability rate and a 0% combat loss rate and I might agree, until then it's just an impressive bit of kit to go charging about a field in.

Unless the Leclerc and the Abrams go head-to-head in a tank-on-tank engagement; like the Abrams and the T-72 did in 1991, alongside the Challenger Mk2; we will never know; but I stack my chips on the M1A2 SEP for being superior in terms of fire control, speed, accuracy and survivability.The Abrams has been field tested in the desert, not once, but twice (can the Leclerc claim that?)

@transamrobws6 In service only since 1992 (after the Gulf War), the Leclerc has no notable experience in true warzone environments, but has seen deployment on multiple low-intensity conflicts, including 15 AMX-56 Leclerc's stationed in Kosovo (KFOR) and others in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in the context of UN peace-keeping operations, where their performance was judged satisfactory by French officials.

@transamrobws6 dont be so jealous of our grandeur. Napoléon was worth 3 hitlers, and he spread better values to the world. France is the true héritier of the roman empire, a proud nation that just comitted the error of retiring from conquered countries, letting them rule their helpless countries themselves (ex:algeria). why do everybody hate us? because we have the arrogance of leaving them alone while they know they need our leadership.

@transamrobws6 (i'm french) you're right because it's a very expensive tank and only a few of them are ready to fight ;) maybe it's the best but if the best can't fight because we need too much money to use it, it's not really the best.
Tu as raison parce-que il est très cher et seulement quelques uns d'entre eux sont prêts pour le combat ;) peut-être que c'est le meilleur mais si le meilleur ne peut pas se battre car il coûte trop cher à faire fonctionner, ce n'est pas vraiment le plus fort.

@transamrobws6 Another Grand Idiot! According to BBC History: "There have been 53 major wars in Europe, France had been a belligerent in 49 of them; UK 43. In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10. Giving the French military the best record of any country in Europe". Let me guess, you're a fat 11 yrs kid perched on a couch 12 hours a day playing war game while eating a Mcfry and a BigMac...

Wikipedia: The Leclerc has an eight-cylinder SACM (now Wärtsilä) V8X-1500 1,500 hp Hyperbar diesel engine and a SESM ESM500 automatic transmission, with five forward and two reverse gears. The official maximum speed by road is 72 km/h and 55 km/h cross country (speeds in excess of 80 km/h were reported on road), so is it a turbine engine ? or you meant Turbo charged ?

I like how the Leclerc has an autoloader built into the back of the turret I suppose it has blowout panels on top to direct an explosion up and away from the crew. Russia needs to take note on this design in the future. I also like the .50 cal coaxial that is a nice arrangement.

BUT to pilot this tank, you have to study for years : it's the most complex tank ever made ! Autoreloading, Target control system & battlefield data system. To refuel it you need special pump system

Leclerc EAU: "Tropicalised" version of the United Arab Emirates; it is fitted with:
EuroPowerPack with the MTU 883 diesel engine of 1,100 kW. The United Arab Emirates have interests in the German company which builds them (MTU) and preferred an engine of their own. This powerplant is more reliable than the French UDV 8X (1,100 kW).

@alvincenthanoi slightly more reliable in hot environment but less efficient for acceleration. V8 Hyperbar is a turbine engine delivering maximum torque at very low speed, perfect for climbing obstacle.

Next, You can not call me ignorant because I never said the French didn't do anything significant in history. I'm aware of old alliance between France and the colonies that eventually became the USA. As for countries owing something to another, the US repaid its debt to France by kicking the Germans out of it. US owes nothing to France.

@Dodat69 Load of crap!? New France was the area colonized by France in North America with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River by Jacques Cartier in 1534 and ending with the cession of New France to Great Britain in 1763. New France extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains, Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. (229 yrs) formal end of war did not occur until Treaty of Paris September 3, 1783 which officially recognized America's independence. (228years) Well educated!? and stupid!
ellebal1111 2 weeks ago
@ellebal1111 We declared our independence in 1776 and became an entity then which is the birth of America. Otherwise, there would not have been an entity to be at war with or an entity to have a treaty with. The treaty was between Great Britain and America and its Allies. If the war was between France and Britain and somehow the Americas were then establish then you would be correct but this is not the case. America was born the minute we declared it and the beating we gave out was our proof

As of May 2010, no member-country of CIS, CSTO or SCO has recognised Kosovo as independent. The advisory opinion, which is legally non-binding but had been expected to carry "moral" weight,[137] was rendered on 22 July 2010, holding that Kosovo's declaration of independence was not in violation of international law.
