Assault Breacher Vehicle sees first combat in Operation Cobra's Anger

[jugersreyes]

0:15 what is that white thing? is it electricity or a wrope? i dont get it. kindly pm it. thank you

[MrKitur]

@jugersreyes it is plastic explosive material, after explosion it explodes all of the mines in radius of 5 metres, and it is the gap in the obstacles

[GreatDane2412]

Beast

[eujeeves]

with this vehicle I'll never be late for work again.

[andrei2255]

Американское дерьмо, этим они могли удивить в 40-50 годах.

[TheEmarbe]

wtf is going on at 2:30 ?

[particularindividual]

@TheEmarbe Looks like a safety system to quickly eject the explosives out of the turret if on fire? or maybe part of a quick reloading feature.

[MrKenWesley]

@TheEmarbe They were testing the vehicles capabilities to move large heavy object like those concrete blocks it seems

[azim640]

Sad! So called the finest fighters in the world need all these things worth billions and billions of dollars to fight average people in those countries. Marines, US Army, Rangers, Seals what a fucking joke.

[AntoineGrondin]

@azim640 lol you don't know shit

[TheEmarbe]

@azim640 you sir, are fucking stupid....and since youtube is your only source is combat info its no wonder you have no idea what you're talking about.

[distantkilljoy]

@azim640 Armchair General.

[LiquidReason]

2:32 wtf is that?

[thegreatestmoo]

@LiquidReason yeah I would like to know to, looks badass what ever it is

[nicofrio]

it is a moded abram

[normstowing]

It is a M9 ACE + M2 Bradley + MICLIC. Cool

[manhidnatao]

hey this should be their farming tool in afghan :D

[ejasonrichmond]

Abrams without a canon.

[Stover36]

1:40 Here comes the Spidertank!

[saifwahid]

Looks like an Abrams on Steroids

[TinnInches]

That's a bad mother fucker right there!

[sslitherr]

The Marines have been playing too much C&C - but that ain't a bad thing :)

[beoureen123]

it would be a good plow 

[88Phobos]

Taken turret from abramses? is newest DU ammo so good you can kill ET's with 12.7mm?

Seems U.S gonna attack some poorcountry what defends itself with mines again...

[dav61474]

@88Phobos someday you wont be getting my money

[Sarnarath]

@dav61474 he doesnt need it, because the motha fucking USA has a 15 trillion dollar debt they dont feel like paying.

trust me, when china, russia come to collect the money you owe them.

the USA wil be in big trouble.

[MultiIPwnage]

@Sarnarath instead they try to kill the people who want there money back

[Mattc23q]

@Sarnarath America doesnt owe anything to Russia, Americas debt is divided up.

40% China, %30 England, 25% Japan and 5% Switzerland.

[gmhex]

@Sarnarath "If you owe the bank a million dollars, they own you. If you owe the bank a billion dollars, you own the bank." -NPR

[rotweissrot100]

@gmhex The truth of what you say depends entirely on the size of the bank. :-) And, more important, the US owe to important business partners, not banks. That interdependence makes a lot of difference.

[LiquidReason]

@rotweissrot100 More than half of the US armory is in storage. Settle down, there aren't even any abrams in afghan. 

[9b8]

I guess you can say one thing, Afghanistan and IRaq would make one hell of an R&D site, or extended Area 51. Spending billions a month, might as well make it worth while, lol.

[wwwtotalitaerde]

My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during 5.5 years by the German BND,the former GESTAPO. I recorded more than 100 videotapes which ended up in the legal system. My brother was tortured during 1.5 years despite several legal procedures pending. He was assassinated on July 11th 2009 because of our homepage, linked on my channel, and our book Der Totalitäre Staat. If my homepage disappears,the BND will have assassinated me as well

Thumbs up if you want the BND to stop torturing my parents

[52111centrumcz]

its almost as good as the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle - except its faster, but it lacks the important 165mm HEP armed gun.

[emperorvl]

Back in my day we had to restuff the inert line charge into a blue box on the ass end of mt fuji up hill both ways knee deep in snow with no ride home...

[saledin2011]

what's the dangerous munition that they shoot into the air, falls to the ground and then explode?

[TheZachman1995]

@saledin2011 im not sure what it is, its probably explosive wire, they use it for clearing a path in minefields.

[recordedtube]

2:07 poor old sherman

[Blueatchley12]

@recordedtube its a m60

[916GR]

BAD ASS!! oohrah

[SmashedGamers]

I think it came at 1:44

[EmperorofTerra]

goodbye Close Quarter Battle with this beast, XM25 and all the other stuff coming out

[TheHrt5]

I see what is it doing, but still can't figure it out....

[EmperorofTerra]

@TheHrt5 how can it be more obvious. It's an assault pioneer vehicle, able to breach barricades, concretes, fortifications, trenches and hideouts. A support role tank. If this thing appears, you won't be able to hide somewere without knowing that you might probably be blown up in the next second.

[zoscoster]

it is propably made by sikalabulaba military technologies.

[SapperK9]

Hmmm, trying to catch up with the Brit Trojan, but no back-hoe, fascine, bull blade and it looks like they've bought Python from the Brits. Better than nought, but the M1 still uses THREE time more fuel than any other comparable vehicle on the battlefield!

[lepermunna]

just looked through the comments, some people suggested diesel generators being unloaded - but is it part of the same weapon system?

[Zrixx]

@lepermunna

The top part of the item being unloaded looks like the hatch/launch ramp for the explosive line. My guess is it's a sort of reload insert.

Also, if you look at the top of the tank at 0:48/0.49 you can see that there are 2 similar looking items on the vehicle.

[lepermunna]

Does anyone know what's going on at 2:32?

[GrogTheRed]

@lepermunna

reload system for the line charge road clearing system. the tank drives down into a tank pit putting the reload cages at ground level and then they just eject and you slap in two more pods

[RobotN001]

no active defense systems ?

[500205]

it is an m1a1 with no main cannon and its purpose is to sweep for mines ied's idf's all the normal shit that goes boom.

[rhenster15]

0:15 whats this vine whip ?.. LOL

[GrogTheRed]

@rhenster15

line charge, it's a rocket that lays down a rope of explosive and can clear a long stright line of road of mines

[activearmor]

It's purpose is clearly shown in the vid. If you don't get it, then never dare to join US Army, cuz they obviously don't need such stupid ass morons like you.

[delaney12]

wow...this is obv for IED detection..come on guys...think about it...its purpose is to be badd fucking ass

[cogreza]

this mother fucker is useless because is not as good as is supposed to be

[SirSnuS]

it´s purpose is to remove ied´s and mines

[ActiveStorage]

good plowing device

[klard]

I have a better idea to protect against landmines. Just pack up our stuff and go home. The government the USA is attempting to install is even worse than the one they had before. A pointless waste of resources for a near bankrupt country.

[acepilot23]

the front bucket (seems like bulldozer bucket) maybe for land clearing from landmine..

and the missile (seems like wire guided missile) is for detonate IED or land mine..

CMIIW..

sorry for bad english..

[SneakyRobb]

what are those boxes being thrown at @2:31?

[DJSbros]

Basically a M1 without the cannon.

[kel12176]

That is a nice way to clear out mjne fields... I think the Army had the type in the first gulf war..

[Harleyspinner]

Bad bad !

[MCody2011]

new farming equipment. 

[xHalfpipepaul]

for clearing mines dumbass

[1988wilkesie]

nice combat tractor...... the brits trojans better

[MadMilitiaMen]

@1988wilkesie Nice display of your total lack of information. The Assault breacher vehicle is just for clearing mines, the American Grizzly is the Combat Mobility vehicle that is similar to the Trojan.

[qaz98057]

Its a mine sweeper

[bravenuggethead]

russian tractor.

[2142Unknown]

@bravenuggethead No wonder russia has so few people...There tractors not only dont harvest crops, BUT THEY KILL EVERYBODY

[1SFODdelta]

Who did invent it?

[MrJooog]

its probably used to clear out minefields.And as a multi purpose engineer tool.

See that wire it shoots out? Engineers use similar ones from 40mm gl.

That wierd shovle thing is probably to clear out mines that may be in front of the vehecle.

[troenning]

@MrJooog

The wire you see trailed behind a rocket propeller, is high-explosives for clearing routes through a minefield.

The idea is not new, ruskies been doing this for ages.

But for a mine clearing vehicle, why did they go for the one that runs out of gas in a couple of hours?

its gotta suck having to drive a fuel truck behind the abrahams through a minefield....

[tausendstein]

Nice one...but not totally new ; P ...

look at this from WWII

watch?v=wf6CsvAffHo&feature=re­lated

Save Your money ... You will need it in the future ;P

[thedreamliner2012]

Badass. Just total badassery. I don't know if that's a word or not, but it fits. Booyaa! USMC Kickin' Ass, Takin' Names

[boorelius]

this is like C&C lol

[charles00069]

Damn!



[Relaxxxvan]

looks like pussy withouth cannon ;)

[gaotu]

they made an abrams into a mine clearing vehicle, nice must be a bitch to drive though.

[KOJIDIEHARD]

こういう奴を売ってくれよ。

[killerbee2k]

I'm in love

[astrialkil]

Does anyone know about the suspension? I can see its not a normal Abrams suspension, but what is it from, the Hercules ?

[iamshadowed]

it looks weird without a cannon. LOL. they should have fitted it with a flamethrower much like the shermans before. i think it was called sherman 'crocodile'.

[darkanglmarine]

Gives me a woody. Ooh Rah!

[brookegm4]

Dear Santa,...

[12ock]

a military tractor!!!

[ThLuckyOne]

Go ahead, Talibummers.... see if you can piss up THAT rope.....

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

so they pretty much to a M1 and put some awesome shit on it? i like it.

[Jonathanfroglegs11]

I have no idea what it's purpose is, but I like what it does, and it's fucking good at it.

[roguelead72]

@Jonathanfroglegs11 Breaching berms and clearing minefields.

[MrFeelingAwesome]

@Jonathanfroglegs11 It's an anti-mine vehicle.

[Blueatchley12]

@Jonathanfroglegs11 its supposed to blow up pill boxes

[mucbeanz]

@Jonathanfroglegs11 anti mine tank shoots a string of c4 from a rocket it lays the line then its set off . . . clearing a road to travel on

[randomusernamemygod]

@Jonathanfroglegs11 Its purpose it to fire reels of high explosive cord, to clear away objects like barriers, tank traps and mines.

[shaggy80hunter]

@Jonathanfroglegs11 It basically makes safe roads for other vehicles... the "string" it shot in the air... is det cord with bombs on it.... that destory land mines far far far aaway in a line

[alexerre86]

1:41 toilet paper

[iwannaplaycs]

all it needs is a conveyer and a hopper in the back and it'll be great on the farm..... or on poppy and opium fields in Afghanistan

[maitaifighter]

I'm gonna get one for the house...my neighbor won't hold a CANDLE to me with that new barbeque...

[SLITTHROAT13]

Mommy can I get that for my birthday :D

[29trecool]

where there tissue roll papers? ahahaha

[bearminator90]

what's the "shield" above the tank ?

[woodrax]

@bearminator90 I think that the MICLIC is stowed under that panel, and it opens before they launch the actual charge.

[33TBooth]

So is my husband. He is a vehice commander...so proud.

[AtholAnderson]

Too bad they couldnt find a way to keep the 120mm cannon

[Barnekkid]

Cool gizmo. When you're not warring, you can use it to plow the south forty.

[mooreusmc08]

dpsherry

you have some video of them?

[dextra23]

what are the containers that are being unloaded at 2:35?

[gOtze1337]

@dextra23 charges/rocket´s?!

[CookiesAndGuns95]

@dextra23 Those are diesel generators being unloaded.

[HedonisticHippie]

@CookiesAndGuns95 Those were the vehicles power plant aka deisel engine

[1Paintballer]

@CookiesAndGuns95 actually I think its the entire MCLC launch system the vehicle is parallel to a berm and the turret perpendicular

[dpsherry]

Yeah, yeah, the brits have had an equivalent vehicle since before D-Day. IN fact, one of the reasons the yanks had it so hard on D-Day esp at Omaha was that they refused the offer of General Hobart's "funnies" which include an equivalent vehicle called AVRE. Everything the Preacher, sorry Breacher has AVRE had then and still does today plus 160MM bunker basher. Go figure, yanks.

[61bug]

why can't they use these to clear IED's in Afghan???

[melvinthedeathless]

@61bug

the best way to deal with ied is stay the hell away from them (put out from afghan). Osama is dead, there is little pt in staying there.

[napalmstrike2007]

@61bug because it will f*ck all of the roads. The tanks and APC's coming after this thing may have a hard time :D

[TheBedazzled47]

FUCK YEAH..!!!!!

[ocm4r]

what is this exploding rope thingy it can emit ?!

[barcode625]

@ocm4r its called a line charge. its used for detonating explosives they find

[allu771]

usgay

[nomercy116]

@allu771 YOU LOSE!!!!!!!

[allu771]

@nomercy116 that made no sense. idiot

[nomercy116]

@allu771 usgay makes no sense idiot

[cammander263]

thats just an abrams but been modified

[ezt248]

It's nice but it be better with the 120mm

[DemoKid2007]

The only people who dislike this video are the taliban

[BasementMinorities]

Psh forget the 120mm just use good old American steel to plow right trough the afghan mountains!

[Dominik520520]

Beautiful vehicle

[genesisvirgine]

that my new car !!!



[signig44]

at 2:32. what was that?

[norfor22]

1:49 explosive jeez T-T

[jmercado75]

THAT THING IS SICK!!!!

[Dinokisser]

Hehe nice to see some good anti IED gear

[killyouwid4k]

In the forests of north Europe this baby would be done at least by two foot soldiers :) Bloody soviets already felt that in Winter War...But anyway it looks impressive, also its good for demoralizing enemy!

[2ndAmendmentable]

what is it doing at 2:30? Is it dropping supply crates?

[kxxx125]

@2ndAmendmentable line-charge cardriges.

[CookiesAndGuns95]

@kxxx125 I thought those were generators for bases and equipment.

[TheRealRandomManiac]

Toilet paper from hell XD

[infantrydivision11]

but these machines eat fuel..once there will be a shortage of fuel, they would be useless..

[normanmj]

@infantrydivision11

Who gives a fuck. If there's a shortage of fuel, then anything with a engine is screwed. Get back on your donkey you Al Gore.

[infantrydivision11]

@normanmj lol the fuel crisis is a emberassment to technology..millitary technology = eating fuel

[infantrydivision11]

enough of these machines and millitary science have to be rewrittern..

[SteveinChurui]

I'm thinking one of those could replace a rototiller in my garden... Talk about weeds be gone!

[mikeyxxx1988]

i like the string bomb! ^.^. but what exactly are the tanks purposes?

[Robbob9933]

@mikeyxxx1988 This is not a tank but rather derived from the M1, its purpose is to clear minefields.

[Restayvien]

I'm not a fan of war, but I love some of the military hardware that gets put out. :D

[nickm2386]

semper fi

[nrajcoomar]

I always wondered which is better a turbine or diesel in these tanks

[infantrydivision11]

@nrajcoomar are there any ground vehicles with a turbine engine? The reason they wouldnt use a turbine is because the soil will get in the engine..

[Nanostarification]

give this beast its gun back and its ready for a fight!!

[zweefseef]

lady's and gentlemen, i present you...........THE SUPER PLOW!!!!! :D

[Iskate1zEro]

the Abrams body is just used for everything isnt it haha

[3521mtma]

dude, i almost got ran over by one of these when they were testing them back in 2009. good times in 29palms.

[CookiesAndGuns95]

Is this relatively new?

[SSGGBROOT]

from a old engineer vehicle crewman 12f (CEV & AVLB) - US ARMY 1970-1982, I think this piece of equipment is great.

for you guys who are actually assigned to them- thank you for serving and may you stay safe

[godblessthebest]

US MARINES,,,,THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE WORLD SAFE. YOU ALL DO A TOP JOB, AND BLESS YOU..,,,From Michael Australia

[fazerjt]

I am proud to say that I am a 1372 Assualt breacher vehicle operator. Hey man, me too!!!

[MarineBuchhaas27]

@Edit32 hell ya i own a farm back at home and if only theyd let me take the abv with the full with mine plow back home for a couple of days i could have my field plowed in record time.

[QwertyBeetle]

Copy of the British Trojan...

[kdraper2007]

@QwertyBeetle not really, it looks to be an M1A1 main battle tank with the main gun & gun Ammo removed & combat engineering equipment put in it's place.

[AhdDib]

Wow, there are some real stupid people on youtube. I swear, we need to find them and cut their xbox umbilical cords and force them to read a book or hell join the military so they can know what it's really like to risk your life for true freedom.

Oh, and freedom3777 needs to be locked up.

I'm just sayin'....

[Autobotmech]

Nifty piece of Kit. I wish we all could play nice and not need these things. However it is nice to see there's an alternative to the old fashioned way.

[oldturtle21]

What an awesome piece of kit

[alekbanks1990]

dear santa

[MarineBuchhaas27]

@lordzeppo

Are you talking about the Rapid ejection of The LCDS thats just in case of the C4 catching fire and needs to be thrown off the vehicle. you spring load them pull the handle and bam they eject.

[doomsday405d]

@jaydenn74 that "fabric" is pretty much a hose full of c4, the "big as round" is the rocket that propels the c4 charge. the fire it over the mine field and when it goes off it pretty much blasts a path free of mines for the ABV and the rest of the vehicles to get through.

[Jaydenn74]

Anyone know the purpose for that....fabric I geuss.... that is trailing those big as rounds?

[MarineBuchhaas27]

I am proud to say that I am a 1372 Assualt breacher vehicle operator.

@MarineBuchhaas27 this thing is bullshit , digging in the
