Yea. Still, as the video points out the Humvee is a creature from 1979. Haven't the Humvee now been replaced by the Stryker which is also air portable? Or are they made for completely difference missions?

I feel the good stuff is actually around 3:47. It's here that the advertising stops, and real discussion starts on just what this thing is good for.

He's absolutely right, the Humvee isn't inherently bad, it's simply being used in roles it was never designed for. Of course it's going to fail in those roles, but that doesn't mean it's obsolete or useless. You just have to use this thing in the right places, like any weapon.

Those blackhawks were purchased from the US before the weapons embargo by Nato.

i would actually love i if you provide the whole show.

but back on topic, humvee is suitable for what you can say "light cavalry" , skirmishing but not for intense urban battle..humvees are rather like horse archers, they can keep their distance, good for distraction but if they enter the main battle they are quite fucked. So it's not the humvee's problem, but the stratergy.

[cr9527]

A typical road side bomb composed of at least one 155mm howitzer shell.

Thats anything but small!

@LOLitsJono

The translation on the Humvee comment is not correct.

What he was really saying is that Humvee used aluminum body, which had weak protection, while the Chinese version used steel plate to start with, with added armor protection, is much better against mines and bombs.

That woman at the start was hot :)

"Our Humvee, which looks pretty identical to the U.S. HUMVEE, THOUGH VASTLY INFERIOR TO OUR OBVIOUSLY SUPREME MADE-IN-CHINA VERSION"

Riiiiiight, China. You say it's better for mobility when your very weakness is rapid deployment.

[stalkingalizee]

Dude, did you not listen at all did you? Fang said it was aluminium and that it was a dilemma of protection. Hence officer's BS answer.

[jimmyjamesWang]

Dude, you didnt listen at all did you? Didnt they say that it was 'high-molecular' or whatever composite steel material which reduces weight by 40 to 50%? If you can only read from the sub, then at least read the whole thing.

[fludblud]

brilliant programme you got the engineer whos blatantly spouting BS for his company yammering on about bullets and missiles bouncing off his beloved creation and even claims that its lighter than the hmmwv yet made of high density steel. then the admiral and army officer come in and completely rip into everything he says telling everyone that like the american version, it will NOT survive cannons and missiles and they talk about its TRUE role which is recon, air drop and rapid reaction

[stalkingalizee]

I love Fang, she is like, you said the thing is made out of steel, but how can be lighter then aluminum? Then followed by BS answer. I love that woman!
