Well-Camouflaged Scimitar Light Tanks Afghanistan dynmicpara

[TacticalHub]

Some of us Brits, especially the upper classes and officers in the military, can be snobby, sure. But we were far from incompetent in ww2. We held of an invasion from a militarily superior force. We made up over 50% of the Normandy landings and we played a pivotal role in Africa. If anything, I would say that the modern day British army is much more incompetent, or rather the MOD and parliament is in its funding of the army.

Will hopefully be an officer in the 9th/12th Royal Lancers in a couple of years and hopefully be commanding one of these and the rest of a troop :) keep up the good work lads you have my 100% respect

[PressyTCN]

@harrygorrod23 how does this compare to the warrior viecle ?

[DrFolderol]

@PressyTCN Completely different vehicles, this has a aluminium hull and a crew of 3 i think, warrior has crew of 3 + 7 passengers, they have the same 30mm cannon though the warrior is getting a massive make over including a fancy new turret with 40mm auto cannon with air burst capability.

[blocko44]

@harrygorrod23 -Interesting and are you in the 9/12th at the moment may I ask? I have family in and he has done 15yrs so if you are in he will have met you already. Hope we will all meet up at some point when they get back from this tour, his 2nd plus Iraq & Bosnia. By the way they have the newer Jackal in use out there, the old Reccy tanks are in wraps-training. He also says the grub out there is a bit naff....Lol Be safe!!

SCIMITAR ISNT A APC ITS A LIGHT TANK

[dynmicpara]

@scouse180 A tracked APC is an infantry-carrying tank. The variant of the Scorpion family that carries infantry is the Spartan.

[Mr912Lancer]

ill be driving these in a couple of years

[Hoobler94]

Are they British or American

[Slomy10]

why pay for good camo when the terrorists beleive the bad

[dynmicpara]

@Slomy10 They SEE the bad and shoot you.

[QandahaarIsTheBomb]

i dont get the point of this video and what is that light for? what is its purpose please repond.

[dynmicpara]

@QandahaarIsTheBomb AMERICANS DON'T CAMOUFLAGE THEIR VEHICLES.

[takedownroddy]

I would like to point out that Scimitar vehicles are strictly recon only vehicle, hence why they recieve such a high degree of camo. Our frontline vehicles just get painted tan, and our secondary vehicles such as the "Snatch" Land Rover often remain in Olive Drab. I am sure US vehicles are no worse camouflaged than they need to be.

[dynmicpara]

@takedownroddy You are surely wrong. EVERYONE needs to be well-camouflaged; not just recce units.

[takedownroddy]

@dynmicpara Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree with you wholeheartedly there, I was simply stating that whilst its very well and good to acknowledge the high degree to which this particular British vehicle is camouflaged, there are many aspects of the British armed forces which remain as woefully under-camoflaged as their American counterparts (such as our helicopters for example). I was simply trying to say that I'm sure American units are as well camouflaged as many British units are :)

[bolovoneichkamp]

ranges

[lknkprkninflamesbest]

Why is the US army so retarded and egotistical?! Why are they doing this? I know it's for money and that crap but totally why?

[dynmicpara]

@lknkprkninflamesbest NARCISSISM. The USMIL thinks its WW2 and they can flood places with sloppy numbers; this ain't WW2 and we don't have the whole nation drafted for numbers, we need QUALITY and that comes from HUMILITY to admit to problems and seek IMPROVEMENTS.

[rbaechle1111]

i would rather drive around in that then a humv it can take rpg and allmost any roadside bomb us armor is lighter and stronger than anything in the world

[welburn75]

no bull man us

the us MBT travels around using a variant of british armour created by our defence expects

so put tht in your crappy humv nd smoke it u stupid stupid boy

[scottpd1404]

Dude i was there in Iraq before Mraps. I have shrapnel in my neck from being in a M-1114 during an explosion. I felt a lot safer walking then riding in a bullet magnet HMMWV

[dynmicpara]

@scottpd1404 Humvees need to be scrapped in favor of v-hull up-armored M113 Gavins.

[Ome99]

Only the americans are stupid enough to use APCs wihch actualy use tires, where is the protection fo that!

[dynmicpara]

We're narcissistic and lazy....while beating our chest that light foot infantry is god, on other side of mouth riding around in rubber-tired Humvee/Stryker/MRAP trucks getting blown up at 60, eh 45 mph boasting about how "ghost-like" we are--yeah as in departed spirits after being killed.

[eoghan93]

it makes it less likely to set off mines and is more mobile and easier to fix

[dynmicpara]

@eoghan93 We get what we pay for. Tracks are the answer for war ground mobility not wheels.

[bxnyfordham]

are you serious? the south africans and your colony Rhodesia started that. And wit mines wheels and v shaped hulls rule the day because the wheels are easily replaceable after the v shapped hull channels the blast

[dynmicpara]

@bxnyfordham V-hulled tracks that can go-cross country at will and be better armored and armed by a ratio of 28% are even better.

[BlacktailFA]

Only the US military would be so ignorant as to operate dark green vehicles against light tan backgrounds!

[dynmicpara]

You mean like the Stryker wheeled victim brigades?

[BlacktailFA]

Exactly.

[ThiefGhost]

@BlacktailFA A tank is a tank man
