  • Battle occurred the end of January, 2007. Opposing Force called themselves Sons of Jesus. Their leader, Jesus, was KIA during this fierce battle that lasted about 24 hours. Coalition Forces employed M1 tanks, M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Strykers, 120mm mortars, Close Air Support - F-16's F-18's, Tactical Air - AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopters. The fiercest fight of my year in Iraq. I knew one NCO awarded a Silver Star for bravery during the battle, and first CF casualty, RTD 5-6 weeks later.

  • wish i was old enough to join when the invasion toke place

  • is the M1 firing it's 120mm main gun?

  • @cyther39 yeah, it doesnt really have anything bigger than that...

    they have an m2 browning, the cannon, and an m240

  • We're gonna free the shit out of you.

  • lol brady;y and big papa

  • Fuckin love those tracers!

  • 0:18 failed IED.

  • was there suppose to be a fire? :

  • Not meaning to sound like a noob, but the Abrams was firing it's HEAT..So why didn't the Brad fire a TOW? Was the M2A3 out of missiles?

  • @roothands

    Not that I'm an expert, but I'd guess they'd rather fire bullets than rockets, since the latter are supposed to be more expensive. But I could be wrong.

  • bradley is not a tank.

  • Allah cant help those dirty rag-heads now

    Abrams and Bradleys are great tanks

  • 1:01 bradley: peck! 1:04 abrams: PWOOM! 

  • i wonder what the insurgents are thinkin when they see the bradley lol holyy sshiittt

  • @8324922061 No they say ' HALLA SHIT! '

  • Fuck those sand jig domes and everyone in them. Gun em down

  • First target should be the Mosque!!!!!!

  • must be hard to resist taking a shot at those domes

  • Little Tank: Daddy! Look at me firing! ^^ Big Tank: .....HAHAHAHAHAH..... BOOM

  • pop pop pop pop pop BOOM

  • lol the blast of the abrams started a fire hahaha

  • that's awsome

  • What the hell happened at 0:19 ? was there some sort of misfire or something? I assume not since the bradley keeps firing.... anyone know?

  • @sentineloffreedom mabey a gas tank from a car or just a can of gas since the air around the m2 barrel is really really hot. Im not sure though

  • @CCTHooyah yeah I dunno... I just realized that when that happened, it was the Abrams on the left that shot... maybe there was something in the path of the round but not visible in the sight... I'm at a loss other than that...

  • @sentineloffreedom Half-burned powder charge being expelled from the barrel...? The powder in the casing clumped together for some reason...?

  • man now i wish i was a cav scout not a mechanic... =( that looks fun! oh well, some ones got to fix em.

  • @dudeman659 - hey its mechanics like u that keep the cav moving :)

  • @ 2:00 let's all storm DisneyLand in the background behind us.

  • Big Bang !

  • 1:21 they shoot so far, you can't even hear the impact! awesome!

  • I miss being an M1 Tanker, this video reminds me fighting the insurgents along the Infantry, good times. For those of you serving, you are the best!

  • Have you ever been shot at? Ear breaking near hits and paralyzing mortar and rgp- strikes!? Jeez, Ive had some and Im enough of it. Play your console games but stop pouring s h i t!

  • @securi385 You're reminiscent of killing people? That's fucked up dude.

  • @egoodrich86 shut up liberal faggit the military is an awsome job

  • get some

  • i saw a documentary about a new experimental 120 mm cannon that will replace the 120 mm cannon of the abrams...

  • watch?v=bzVHw5ixKaA here you see how loud the bradleys 25mm chaingun is... well then imagine how loud the m1 abrams is :D

  • What cal. is this gun ?

    thanks !!!

  • @Cal50Rifle: The M2 Bradley has a 25mm chaingun, 7.62mm coax, and a two-shot TOW launcher. The M1 Abrams has a 120mm smoothbore main gun, along with machineguns in coax, commander's, and loader's positions.

  • The video says the tank's a M1A1, doesn't that mean it's got 100mm gun? I thought the 120mm gun came out with the M1A2.

  • When the basic M1 came out it was armed with a 105mm cannon. From the M1A1 on they have a 120mm smoothbore. The A2 upgrade introduced a number of upgrades; the biggest being the Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer, Improved Commander's Weapon Station, Inter-Vehicular Information System, Position/Nav System, and several survivability initiatives. Two further upgrades have come; the System Enhancement Package (SEP), and the Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK).

  • And by 2011-2013 the M1A3 will be tested and maybe put on the battlefield.

  • One can hope. But with heavy armor in this day and age, even the proposed -A3 upgrade may face a shaky future due to budget. I know the proposal included the 120mm originally developed for the FCS's Mounted Combat System. Also a new engine (maybe time to go back to diesel), improvements to the armor, many TUSK improvements, major electronic upgrades to include fiber optics and thus maybe dropping the weight down to 55 tons.

  • well its a 30mm round and i think im not sure, the abrams fires a 120mm round

  • @crouchtrac 25mm

  • your so ignorrant. the marines can take ove your country if they wanted to.

  • hellyeah the marines alone could take over any country they wanted, add in the Airforce and navy and army and you have the best fighting machine in the world

  • damn straight

  • well... no. Shut up.

  • lol you wanna go up against a marine? be my guessed beacuse it will be the last stupid thing u do on gods green earth, it will also be the last thing u do lol

  • Our Marines are the pretty tough for sure. However don't state we could take over ANY country with them alone. I think North Korea and their million man infantry would be a problem. Just trying to keep things accurate and not merely emotional statements of glory.

  • I think with the technology we have now the marines alone could defeat N koreas army, now there is no way in hell they would go in alone there would be the navy suporting them and the army and air force

  • North korea? you mean Chinas million man standing army.

  • Didnt North Korea need Chinas help?

  • it wasnt the taliban it was al qaeda and the highjackers were saudi arabians

    and US Marines have no balls? wow id rather go up against a british army soldier in a fight then a US Marine, theres a reason Marines are called Devil dogs, idiot

  • Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not a national army.

  • lol

  • you will not go to a land of milk and honey with 70 virgins you will go to hell with 70 butt holes waiting for you

  • no 70 dicks waiting to go into thier butt holes lol

  • You're silly!

  • poor little jihadis. sniff, sniff.

  • they blew up twin towers and enjoy killing us.. and you like seeing our dead troops? man your dumb

  • you want to look at the evidence and facts concerning the twin towers before calling other people dumb dumbass yank you believe everything your government tells you IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB, prove me wrong

  • How so? And don't say DU. It is meant for busting tanks. If the enemy force had tanks that could be penetrated by thermonuclear weapons, the military would do it. The only purpose of the military is to fight wars in any means necessary.

  • actually u have that all wrong, were stopping it

  • Not any worse than any other country or civalization. Example the British Empire. Plus it's the military it's suppose to do it's job.

  • In the time they pumped x amount of shells into an abandoned building, might as well have called in an airstrike to blow the whole thing to smithereens :)

  • I think what they are doing is right, they use their tanks to destroy the building it's much better than risking lives of men compared to using a large amount of ammunitions.

  • haha is this what a normal day in Iraq is like?? (and ya thats a jk)

    btw the pop pop pop is the sound a bullet the size of a shell makes when it blasts bodies in half :)

    people should know bout that before the decide to fuck wit the USA

  • haha bradley= pop pop pop pop

    abrams= KABOOM

  • yeah but that pop pop pop is some bad shit, for real.

    and the abrams fire=loud as shit. You feel it in your bones from like a mile away

  • hahaha i find that really easy to believe

  • dude, that shit=no joke.

  • oooo no fun?

  • 25mm slap on buildings is a spall factory. 25mm he is bad as well, looks like he here.

    120mm German gun has lots of energy per round, so she is loud. Can cause hearing loss.

    Those people are very dead.

  • prob just a normal thing

  • lol what happened to that one shot with the M1?

  • waste of ammo :)

  • they prob hide behind the building

  • they protect the country not saddam..hes dead.

  • maybe,but i understand the insurgents too.would u let a country invade your country..

  • deffo if it was as corrupt and primitive as Iraq.

  • Are you serious? You are calling Iraq corrupt? Are you that ignorant? It is amazing how the U.S. government has managed to fill in the heads of its citizens with all that dirt

  • Go get a lecture in reading and understanding, I typed WAS - and it certainly was very corrupt. Its a wide word, used in a situation where a wide corruption was present. What i refer to precisely tho, is the fact that Saddam used all the countries oil money to enhance his own regime, not for the publics good, which leads on to the reason that I bellieve coalition invasion of Iraq is more than ok. Iraq will be gratefull in 100 years., - When they ditch religion that is - FLAME ON!

  • umm hello where have u been mars?? taliban an insurgents are in iraq they hide in innocent neighborhood like cowards an hide bombs in schools an kill an torture there own ppl, theres hundreds maybe thousands of videos on the web about that plus they attacked on 9-11 so now we are gonna fuck them

  • Taliban in iraq? Between Afghanistan and Iraq there is Iran! How they could get there from Afghanistan?

  • Try to pass the Iranian border illegally with weapon in hands and you will be imprisoned!

  • Unless youre on your way to Iraq to fight the USA and new Iraqi government, please, Terrorist operatives of every name and loyalty pass to and fro from the border of Iran everyday. Iran even offers them sanctuary. This is not news to the world.

  • Even if they WahhabiЫs? I dont think so! In any case disorders in Iraq have begun after intervention of the USA. This war has no relation to the Taliban and an Al-Qaida. The reasons of this war not threat for the USA.

  • The new government of Iraq (friendly to the USA) gives new possibilities for economic relations and access to Irakasky oil.

  • they take a bus. You think  that Iran wouldn't want to cause trouble for the US? that murdering a few iraqis would slow them down? Think again.

  • actually the taliban attacked the us on 9-11, not the iraqis.

  • i didnt say iraqis, i said the taliban are in iraq but mostly in afgahnistan

  • yeahaa kill those bastards houuuha

  • you can always tell when that 120mm main gun says hello

  • @NAVC130VET unless your the one he is saying hello to

  • marines do have M2 and LAVs they need APCs for troop distribution. being in the marines dosnt mean you dont get armor or APCs

  • the m2 bradley is my favorite vehicle and thats what i want to do in the marines

  • Marines don't have Brads; you jarhead.

  • You want to be in a M2A2 Bradley, join the Army M1A2 Abrams are used by the Marines and Army but you probably won't have the chance to drive anything except the Humvee because the Marines are primarily a infantry force.

  • And primarily better.

  • Yeah they're the best infantry force, sometimes they have to fight without tank or air support in a hornet's nest so mad respect to those damn devil dogs.

  • I got a buddy thats Deployed to Iraq right now that drives those things

  • Check this out, the Bradley and the Abram can see up to 4 kilometers away, thats father then 4 miles, so what ever there shooting at, there looking right in there mouth,lol

  • holy shit really where you find that out from, thats awesome

  • Iam In The Army 3rdID

  • Dude, you're dumb.

  • Iam sorry you feel that way, what is the reason for you Ill-fated comment?

  • Actually, it takes 5 kilometers to equal 3 miles. If you were really in the Army, you might know that.

  • if the US upgraded to the metric system like they should have years ago, then everyone wouldn't need to know.

  • You know theres some things that I can't stand, being broke, cars with spinng hub caps and people that say Iam not in the Army. For your information, Ive been in for ten years come August 10, 09. Ive been deployed with the 92nd Engrs Combat Heavy Batt out of Ft. Stewart, Ga four times. How dare you let that crap roll off out your mouth. Ive served my country and Iam still serving my country. You might wanna think about that for a min, cause Iam the reason you still have freedom of speech

  • Respect that bro... Sometimes war can really mess things up...

  • Your system of measurement is wrong, your grammar and punctuation are terrible, and you come off like a child trying to scold another child. You don't know me, don't pull this keyboard-commando garbage. I am also one of the people responsible for the enduring freedom of speech, as well as all of the other freedoms we can still enjoy despite the best efforts of the Democrats. 10 months for a reply? Really? Let me guess: You were deployed with the Green Seal Rangers?

  • Green Seal Rangers, WTF?! thats cute cupcake. Got a family now. Give me your email address and I'll send you some pics. Trust and belive I have my proof

  • I think those men who fought in our Revolutionary War, WWI, and WWII have more to do with our personal freedoms then you. It's honorable that you serve, however, don't let that head get too big.

  • Yes this is true, but there is a new type of freedom now which takes a new breed of soldier. We no longier fight for freedom we fight for our battle buddies. the war is over saturated with lies and politics

  • Every war was filled with some lies, half-truths and politics. Have you heard of "Yellow Journalism"? How about the dual atrocities the British and the Germans did to each other during WWI? How about Hanoi Jane during Vietnam? How about the evils done to the Japanese Americans during WWII? I respect you big time for fighting for your fellow Marine, however don't play up your role any larger then those by our forefathers.

  • I respect that, Iam gonna actually look into that "Yellow Journalism," my role as a soldiers has ten yrs left in it, take care

  • By the way Iam in the Army friend

  • Wow, that Abrams set something on fire with that main gun right near it...

  • i hope you made every one of those rounds count , cool vidio

  • Virgins or no virgins, I wouldn't want to be on the business end of that!

  • lolololol

  • I want you to prove that there is no one inside that building.

  • Who cares if someone is in the building? Even if there is, they're more than likely the enemy, and the less enemy there is the better.

  • I am like 99% sure that there was no1 inside that building ^_^ a veteran from Iraq can reply if am wrong!They just hit and run,the only way to stay alive and hit again the day after!

  • Not always, for them getting killed in combat is great (martyrdom), so sometimes the also just shoot till they get killed.

    What I dont understand is, why there were no troops covering the back of the house to ensure that no1 escapes trough the back door. (ok, maybe there where some)

  • I guess it s an operation..they need to clear the way 1st!

  • Ok , why would you stay at the back of the house for these mitherfuckers had basments and s hit they sometimes hide in there and when we came through peek a boo i shoot you happened . plus you dont want to be near that round anyway it would blow out the walls

  • but why would they hide in that building?cant take out a m2 with an ak anyway.. M2 and M1 vs insurgents in a building (hard to belive)

  • The best about this vid is that it really shows what it means that the projectiles are flying faster than sound.

    It looks so cool how the rounds are flying to the target!

  • thats why no one fucks with us.... here comes the war machine baby !!!!!!

  • nice video .. by the way canadians if it wasnt for the us and county in the world could invade u guys .. if it wasnt for us you wouls all be speaking russian right now

  • why didn't they touch the right side of the building?

  • great live fire by the abrams!

  • calm down canadians, yes your right they burn down the white house, but USA at that time wasnt all 50 states, NOW WHAT? I DARE YOU TRY TO ATTACK FROM THE SOUTH... and just because some americans root can be traced to europe doesnt mean they are European, they made a choice to get away from that hell hole.. I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU AMERICAN HATERS.. IF YOU HATE US THAT MUCH THAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, WAGE A DAMN WAR AND SEE

  • Ya i mean my great grandma's and grandpa's were from Europe but im very patriotic to America, I someday want to join the usaf, and yes im only a teen.

  • I'm joining the USAF as well.

  • could you do me a favor and hit that satanic mosque in tha background?

  • call in an air strike, broken arrow over...

  • Use napalm to carbonized their body

  • haha douche bag hajis

  • The most beautiful thing about the Abrams...

    We have over 5,000 of'em. ;)

  • are thay rolling in a cemetery?

  • would all you fucks stop arguing? the US, Britain and Canada are allies, end of story.

  • Head On! Apply tank round directly to the enemy forehead!

  • lol

  • *Teams are unbalanced. Engaging Auto-Balance.*

  • Look up the Canadian Army Trophy and you'll see that it was a U.S. Crew with the M1 Abrams who placed first (beating Canadians, French, Germans, and Brits). Now this isn't saying that the others suck or any garbage like that but I would have to say that I would put my money on the Abrams and more importantly the U.S. Crew inside it anyday.

  • lol ya usa won by one shot and your tanks are we better.

  • Thank you for your service and being there with us.

  • leopard Vs M1?

    so what we talikung open ground? the leopard is more manoverable than than the m1..if you cant see it you cant hit it.

    or urban?..hmm,guess its even

    basically the leopard is more than a match for the abrams.Its basicality the same tank.

    On stats,its the leopard that wins the day

  • Plus, the Leopard has a stronger gun. The L-55 i think. More firepower. M1s still has engine-overheating problems. Nice to see America proving its balls against broken insurgents.

  • then an apache comes in and kills the leopard:)

  • lol yeah us military vehicles rule the battlefield!

  • pt91m rules!

  • wow i like how the bradley can switch its rate of fire. Thats the biggest sniper weapon i ever seen

  • i reckon germanys leopard could take on the abrams, or at least give it a run for its money

  • Not a chance! The leopard would be dead on the ground before the German's even knew it was coming!

  • did you know that the leopard and the abrams have the same gun? did you also know that they were both designed at the same time by the same people.

    the abrams is nearly 20 years old, the leopard is only 10. 10 years makes a big difference, can you see now why i think the leopard might stand a chance

  • no abrams without german engineering

    i guess you know that.

  • then you dont know the leopard, it would wreck an M1 lol

  • Well, obviously the combat record is going to be in the Abrams favor, having destroyed hundreds of t-72's and t-80s without a single loss from tankfire. But the biggest difference, is if they ever met in combat, it wouldn't be 1 v 1. It would be the THOUSANDS of American Abrams tanks supported by hundreds of gunships compared to dozens of leopards. Many European nations barely have a dozen of them. With that being said, if they did meet 1 on 1, I would have to put money on the M1a2

  • good point. would be a good battle though

  • and it still takes only one 30$ IED to destroy your precious tank...

    and yea the leopard 2 IS more advanced and efficient than abrams.

  • M1A2 has had a record of surviving upto 4 IEDs, 7 RPGs

  • how do you measure one IED, depends how it made and whit what its made with, there no guid lines as to what size or yield one IED has

  • Those tanks are shit ive seen more poke in a cock.
