  • It sounded like an empty drum barrel @ 0:02 I wonder how protected it is against IEDs compared to the MRAP.

  • @DjReano Nobody killed 

  • I LOVE CHEESE!!!

  • Its always the army that made fancy things. such as the internet guns etc and things to keep us safe

  • That is an infantry mobility vehicle (IMV), not an APC.

  • @Bottlekiller i'd say its an MRAP. it's basically a cougar, only better.

  • pretty fast

  • only problem is the high silhouette...

  • i've been in one of these, its pretty fucking big, im 6'3ft tall and i felt minature next to it , it's pretty cramped under the manhole where the mounted machine gun goes but once you get in the driver seat, it's like sitting on a cloud.

  • Strange they havent shown one bogged to the axels in terrain a M113 would cruise through

  • @anthony9thompson Shame you got rid of them!

  • @themattbowyer thankfully we havent gotten rid of them . In fact our m113s have just undergone major upgrades. These bushmasters are ok its just that 4 wheels is never that good for mobility . Cheers

  • @anthony9thompson More than 50 bushmasters have been hit by IED's in Afghanistan, while the soldiers inside have been injured, none have died. Source: The Australian (newspaper)

    I know that I would rather be shovelling out mud or bogged than be waiting for the time where an IED is about to kill me.

  • @NathanKlo never said they werent any good against ieds. I said that they get bogged easily compared to tracks. I certainly would not want to be next to you shovelling mud when an AK bullet hits me in the back of the neck. BUSHMASTERS are the best of their class, trouble is that it is a shit class to be in

  • @anthony9thompson Except, of course, when you throw a track on a rock and have to spend even more time outside trying to thread it back on.

  • @Dallas8844 Yes you are right there. Maybe we should build a tracked vehicle with wheels as backup and have some draft horses in front just in case.........might be on to something

  • The Bushmaster is in the runnings for the French Army, if all goes well over 2000 will be bought and shipped to france

  • That's not an armored vehicle, that's a dinosaur, an animal.

  • is just a f150 raptor with armor hhahahahaha

  • But does it do good burnouts?

  • what is old is new again  reminds me of a Borgward B2000A/O

  • If its designed for Aussie conditions you can be its f***ing tough!

  • can i get one for personal use?

  • American military forces should be supplied with some of these an do away with the humvee’s they use, there is not enough protection on a humvee for blasts that are initiated from directly under the vehicle.

    I know American forces had a interest in them but opted to update the armor on the humvee but these are better for all round protection an much cheaper than the mine resistant vehicles they use now which ar edeployed to only a few units.

  • @stalkingalizee The Australian company will not be closed, But it will not build any of the ones intended for Europe, Those ones would most likely be built jointly between both France and Spain as Spain is interested in them, And the Dutch require a more effective method of maintenance rather then flying them back to Oz to be fixed, The Australian site is getting ready for production of the Hawkei instead.

  • can i get that road registered please

  • South Africa and Rhodesia were the first to develop mine protected vehicles, South Africa still produces great 'vehicles of this type. They were developed particularly for fighting a gurillar war. The rest of the world trailed far behind us, in equipment, and more importantly, tactics. Here is a tip, use South African and Rhodesian battle tactics for fighting gooks and you will save more lives. It is ironic that the people the west loves to demonize have been saving your soldiers lives.....

  • drive it like you stole it.

  • All V-hull designs come from the South African "Buffel" and "Casspir" both are here on youtube and wiki. You want a beast? ride in a Casspir, you will want to ride over every mine and det any IED you find just to have a good time in it! The Buffel is an old man dating from the 70's already. South Africa faced the Terr threat many years ago already. This is why most MRAP vehicles are South African designed or built.

    The Bushmaster is a good attempt alas didn't make the MRAP program.

  • @Venom0ZA  the actual reason it didnt make it was because hummer offered them a super cheap price for the humvees

  • hahaha handles worst when on a sealed road

  • Hate to burst your bubble, but this is the THALES Bushmaster. France owns all the rights to it because Thales is a French company.

  • @stalkingalizee :: Thales Australia Limited ("Thales Australia") is a company incorporated in Australia (ACN 008 642 751). Its registered office is at Building 51, Level 1, Garden Island, NSW 2011 Australia.

    You were sayiing?

  • Thales Group owns Thales Australia and a hundred other enterprises. It is a global defence company. The HQ is in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. The largest shareholder is the French state.

  • @stalkingalizee yes but the bushmaster is made and designed in australia by australians (possible made a bit by immirgrants we're heaps multicutural)

  • @jimmymohoney Considering Oz bought 95% of all that were ever made, it should be. If it is bought in France, the Australian factory will be closed and moved to Panhard. We like to keep our money in country too. Of course all profits go to the shareholders which are mostly the French people.

  • @stalkingalizee not rlly and wow geeez u r a really stuck up frenchman.

  • look up hawke thales it is the best looking armoured car that i have ever seen

  • @m166100 its actually HAWKEI but it is damned sexy

  • @jimmymohoney agreed gota love them the bushmaster flatbead version looks quite interesting saw some getting painted

  • @m166100 this and the Hawkei side by side is gonna look pretty damned nice

  • @m166100 best you ever seen eyy then you have not seen the Russian t98 kombat

  • @m166100 When it comes to war - function i better then beauty

  • @m166100 I take it you mean the Hawkei LPV made by Thales? Built to replace the Australian Army's Landrover fleet.

  • Comment removed

  • the U.S. just use a hummer with a machine-gun on top of it.

  • BEAST

  • That thing looks scary flying down the road!

  • this vehicle would be perfect for that ideal rape night getaway. take her off in the woods, climb inside, and no one would have to know. i bet theres someone or something being raped in this very video! 5 stars

  • @XavierDuFermier go sit in the corner....

  • @XavierDuFermier dude thats fucked and so wrong get help u sick fuck

  • Comment removed

  • I want one for the hunt camp

  • wats the website for adi

  • Personnaly the yanks stuffed up not buying this off of us, Is good all terrain vehicle for multiple theaters, but no they had to have an American designed and built thing that has danger from protruding bolts on the inside.. idiots.

  • I have to say, The Aussie Bushmaster vs the US MRAP program, We kick ass, Both protect the crew from weapons fire outside, But the Bushmaster has safety inside where the MRAP program vehicles lack it, With one soldier breaking his neck when he hit the roof with his head while going over a bump. Not to mention the Bushmaster is already being exported to other countries, the Dutch already having dozens, the British having 24, Spain liking them alot, and France considering them,

  • adi are now building the "fire king" witch is the same vehicle as this but alterd without the amor plateing there are 3 of them at themt burr fosestry alpha 34 bravo 34 and charlie 34 i mean whaooo what a vehicle keep it up adi

  • @conutach the fire king is a different type of model and build but the is a good video of it on you tube the cfa actually didnt by many because they thought it was too good and that crews would be more likely to put themselves in harms way.

  • @m166100 oh but they are adi rite

    

  • @conutach not sure what you mean. they are build by thales for civilan use. they are just fortified to withstand a burnover ( with they cant get out of a bushfire and have to take shelter in the truck.) and use very little plastic to reduce the risk of fumes if it starts to burn.

  • This looks like the prototype version and not the final production model, which no doubt is better.

  • They finally came up with something but there is only one V-Hull that tops any other... The South African "Casspir". The monster that saved tens of thousands of lives already. They should have just bought them instead of make another type.

    Good effort anyways 5 stars Aussie Land! Be Proud.

    At least we are starting to think about our soldiers unlike the U.S.

    Search: "Casspir Mine-protected Armored Personnel Carrier" or just "Casspir" here on youtube :) there are more.

  • man. you could pick up chicks in that thing!

  • I want one for an outdoor LAN party;use it as computer center and sleeping quarters.......bbq in the evenings, sweet!!

  • Holy Shat!

  • can i get one of these in a sedan please?

  • They should have called the whole thing Fatso, haha

  • That is the perfect example of a V shaped hull that will save lives

  • apparently these have air-con and have chilled water dispensers. Those sorts of additions can make all the difference when you're in 50+ degree heat.

  • Better keep that number plate clean!

  • I'd nickname one of these Fatso, after the Wombat from TV. Reminds me of a wombat.

  • apparently we were going to make a Big sale of these to some middleastern country but the yanks under mined us with humvees

  • imagine getting into a car accident with THAT!

  • Take this over a humvee any day.

  • I agree.

  • i should have that for the trails

  • it's not an APC, it's still an LAV.

    Kicks ass though

  • dam thing looks like it can run thou a house

  • oh it can ;)

  • A great vehicle for tough conditions. Much better design then the Humvee. Just another asset helping to make Australian Armed Forces the world's best.

  • the bushmaster is pretty good against EID's

  • yer they tend 2 loose thier wheels and the occupants get a headach but thats about it :D

  • Truly magnificent.

    Bushmaster>Humvee

  • bushmaster= Humvee*GAZ vodnik :o)

  • true it is the ultimate!

  • what is true?

  • so would love to own one of those. Even a Cougar great vechiles my brother drives one of those things!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • wats it like against ied's??

  • The bottom of the Bushmasters is engineered like a pool and goes out towards the edges of the vehicle.

    An IED wouldnt leave a dent

  • so its a v hull like the american cougar?

  • Well yes in a way.

    But the Hull on these beauties are our own design

  • Hey, how did the latest Australian soldier die in Afghanistan? I heard it was by IED, but was he walking, or in the bushmaster or some other vehicle.

  • I remember watching the news about a soldier dying after an IED explosion on an ASLAV, but I could be wrong.

  • and ied hitting a bm would be like a peice of paper hitting the ground from a 1 km tall building.

  • he was killed out on patrol.

  • @twiggyh4x Just wondering how you got the job cause i year 12 and think that would be a cool job.

  • I want one ^^

  • Looks pretty good! As long as it can withstand some IED's it looks like it can go anywhere.

  • it's nothing!(LOL)

  • Chomikmedia, go suck a donkey dick, this vehicle owns on all terrain.

  • m113 is mutch mor reliable!

  • hey mate donkey's dick too big for it's mouth.lol

  • Comment removed

  • One of my favourite military vehicles, but I want to see that ASLAV Do some real 4wdriving, Hmmm, needs thicker mud.

    I really wished they still used M715's, to bad they're rather underpowered, great suckers though.

  • I think devil made this vehicle

  • Yeah but would Mad Max drive it?

  • Not the size of the dog in the fight that counts!

  • Everyone is entitled to their own opinion you fucking clown.

    If you wear the uniform you're a fucking disgrace to it, you don't represent what the diggers stood for.

    shame on you.

  • Australia has every terrain you can name, and Australia has vehicles for every terrain.

  • From the looks of it, this is the vehicle for every terrain, i want to drive one haha. Damn... why did i have to be born a yank!?!

  • yer lol its every terrain vehicle and yous the " Yanks" are buying it off us but still aussie made

  • haah unlucky, come to australia and jon a real army!

  • Haha i almost joined the canadian army, I was up in canada during Warrior's Day and was talking to a recruiter, he thought he had... made a sale as it were, and then asked me and my mate sean where we were from. We answered Philly, he just went "...oh. Well yah you have to live here to join up"

  • damm! lol but yeah u shold def join the aussie army man, best job in the world!

  • Or the Dutch army... We're buying these things by the dozens from you Australians. They are great!

  • damn right they are 1 of the best in the world for sure!

  • they are better than any humvee.

    I think they are making RWS for them, which is a major plus

  • @pacfrodo I have better vehicles than that... I just don't have the funds to build them as army vehicles are ridiculously expensive.

  • @pacfrodo So are the French they want 2,300

  • @pacfrodo Australian has 1200 0f these we r building 200 for the dutch

    .

  • i am comming soon

  • i think its a very cool vehicle... its designed for the kind of environment that we're fighting in today...

  • where you posted dude?

  • で、どうした?

  • THANKYOU!!!!!! someone talking sense here!

  • i been in one of them

  • Aussies fight wars to ultimately help people not fuck them up, ever heard of solemnity? you Americans are your own worst enemy. If you think us diggers are bitches you are a deluded redneck. We do what we gotta do to survive and get the job done,we may not have the dollars or equipment but we got heart, more than i can say for you!

  • Fucking seppo's, no wonder everyone hates ya! Fuckin cowgirls!....Australians are gentlemen Yanks are meatheads! We are supposed to be on the same side and then again you yankie doodles segregate yourselves just like you segregate your Afican americans! Wake up idiots! Oh yeah lets not mention FRATRACIDE fuckwits

  • Fucking Seppo's, no wonder everyone hates ya! fuckin cowgirls!

  • This looks like a lego all terrain vehicle I built years ago. The army stole my designs!

  • Haha, dickhead. You ever wonder why we always beat you guys in war games?

  • haha thats right, we beat you at operation red falg and operation talisman sabre and we won the world precision bombing competition AND we beat you at hawaii for the naval games.. we never said we cood beat you...just said we are BETTER trained and equipped than you...why do you think the US are buying 3000 of these bushmasters to replace the humvees?? ur such a typical american, dont know jackshit.. go fuck a homie or whatever the fuck you call them now

  • jeez, one bloke puts up a video about a bloody car and the a flame war about "who's army is better" pops up.OK we know america has about 1 million odd troops so dont say "oh we'd kick your arse ra ra ra" coz we wouldn't, we're better if u have just 1 on 1 but that wont EVER happen so dont rag on about it, and us Aussies have less casualty coz we aint stupid yanks that run around screaming about how 'we rule the world" so yeh, argument over....... i hope

  • No hell no.. See you said you have less casualty's cause Britan Play's the Smallest role IN THE WORLD I say Agian IN THE WORLD on the war on teror so yah

    SUCK IT

  • Fuk you know the saying "Knowledge is Power"? mate go watch sum more documentaries of the SAS then you'll know, we are the most and I say again the most Experienced Special Forces in the world and you know you guys are dying by the thousands cause obviously your forces are not professional enough, and war on terror? please America is the most fuel consuming nation in the world, I wonder what purpose is USA serving over there? Terror or Oil? Think about it. Thanks Mate have a G'Day

  • Small role maybe.. doesnt matter we have a small army atleast we are making a contribution. Casualties no we are smart thats why we arent dead. what the fuck do you have against Australia?

  • Who Said we need your training? your navy seals and green berets are trained by our SAS buddy we are the most experienced special forces in the world look on the Documentaries on the SAS u fuk face as i said learn to respect your ally coz wen ww3 comes in you kno u need our help bitch

  • Umm A Im not American B  You Brits train in canada cause you cant shoot a gun in you small curupt country so we pretty much own you

    o and your army is small .tihe

  • the Armour rating on this pwns the fuck out of the American stryker so who cares . . . "who's dick is bigger " get the fuck over it and enjoy the video . .

  • its funny how the aussies, brits, dutch, korean, frech etc use top quality soldiers to a great effect and the americans use "fire power"

  • cause the americans are smart and dont waste time trainng Fucking Idiots like aussies

  • LMAO the Americans are the perfect example of how not to train a soldier.. how about u join the fuckin enemy and try to take on the Australian Army.. oh im sorry u dont have the fuckin balls.

  • Oh is that why you cunts are dying by the thousands and us Brits, Aussies and Kiwis hardly have a casualty hmmm u should learn to respect ur ally and learn to, what we call "one shot , one kill" not fukn empty a whole clip until the camel raider is dead oh sorry thats the american way haha useless dikeads, a marine up against a Australian soldier pft no chance mate you'll get a bullet in the head b4 he scratch's his balls thats how proficient our soldiers are compared to yours buddy

  • "one shot , one kill" not fukn empty a whole clip until the camel raider is dead oh sorry thats the american way" the only reson you have one shot one kill is becuse you and your assswipe country cant afored bullets and Your army has probley never hit anything in one shot

  • whats the point in blasting of ammo that could be used on the next fuckwit ever think of that

  • hahah its funny to see kids who don't know sweet fuck all diss this bit of kit, but lets face it the thing keeps going unlike a jeep or a landrover.....we are all on the same side though remember, and us brits have just beeen given the cougar...american engineering??

  • You and the Brits havent done shit all but humilate the rest of the world with your extermly piece of shit lawn mores

  • "mores?"

    please tell me more of this fascinating term you use...

  • Ur end of the worl is the fuckin definition of humiliation

  • Congradulations on biulding a fucking off-road vehicle. Did you know that the jeep is better? probably not your blood is rushing to your heads as i speak because your on the BOTTOM of the fucking world

    GO EAT SOME SHRIMP FAGGOT

  • Mate their the best that Australia's got against bloody terriosts, even the Americans are buying them cause their humvees cant do jack shit agaisnt IED's so yea i wouldn't say that their pretty effective.

  • LOL Ya cause the Americans want that piece of shit lol YO "MATE" they build fucking better lawnmores than that And if thats the best you got agenist terriosts well your pretty fucked It dont even got weapons

  • What the fuck you wasting your money on you dont do shit all in the war all you been doing is eating shirp you fat fuck stupid mother of fuck idiots,your sorry exuse for humans

  • These trucks weigh 15tn combat loaded and only have4 wheels! No wonder they only show it driving through puddles and not mud. The Bushmaster is probably one of the best of this class of armoured Winnebagos but that does notmean shit.Its a bit like saying you have built a belt fed 9mm pistol,nice but whats the point?Ive heard all the "advantages" of these trucks but armoured vehicles needto be able to fight as well as go places other than a road.The next war we fight might not involve IEDs at all

  • I've seen these at my work. We had a ride in one of them as a demo. These machines are phenomonal.

    They take corners like V8 supercars.

    They have CAT motors in them. :)

  • I work on these pieces of kit, i have stripped them bare and built them to full spec many times. The vehicles we have built for the british are a cut above the rest and i have full confidence in this vehicle in theatre.......i wish i could say more about it but i'm bound by the secrecy act

  • Ha HA those things are the shitest things I have every seen And I could strip on of those apart and build it and If your bound by the secrecy act on not to tell anyone well we already know how to make the worlds biggest piece of shit

  • Mate. you're a dickhead!

  • well i'm now working for the U.S army on their vehicles, thank fuck they are using the MRAP cus the rest of their equipment is from the stone age. So you're right you do know how to make the biggest pieces of shit on earth, problem is you put people inside it still!

  • I doubt it bigTdog, they will just make their own, the bushmaster is hardly state of the art.

  • Ha Ya Its hardly A Vechile

  • Wow great piece of machinery, would love to ride in one. Hopefully other countries will become even more interested and we can sell tonnes of these!

  • hey right on bukk05 my dad also works a thelas in bendigo we got one of those vidoes where u see them get blownup by dynamite but every1 inside it would be fine

  • Bushmaster was a big compromise, we really needed a dedicated tracked APC or IFV.

  • what about M113s?? I guess they are old now though...

  • tracked apc would be blown to shreds if they got hit by the ied's the dutch got hit by in there bushmasters

    bushmaster has lots of clearance and V shaped hull drive over a bomb the energy from it can escape, do it in a low tracked vehicle the energy goes through the floor into the cabin

  • Mattbourke, thats only one scenario for a vehicle, surely we are not going to base Defence Policy on IED threats alone, think outside the limited box of current threats on Ops. Think of other attributes, how about mobility, wheeled vehicle cannot go places a tracked vehicle can, thats why they invented Tanks with tracks not wheels in WW1.....

  • My old man is one of the many who makes theses Bushmasters in Bendigo, they are an unreal machine and all the yanks know that they are better then there hummers in the middle

  • a hummer is not an apc it is a light transport a bradly is an apc and it is way better than that thing it has a gun at least

  • Yeah but the US Uses them in iraq and they need to add extra armor on...they don't use breadelys as much as hummers so they pretty much use hummers for patroling apc's
