Nick, at about 18:36 in this video: *_"There's a dead wasp."_* I presume Nick meant the insect, and not the W.A.S.P. variety...🤭

Starting at about 13:27 in this video: *That tie-wrap was already broken when I got here.* 😉

ANick, at about 01:20 in this video: *_"...basically a big feck-off cannon..."_* 🤭🤭🤭

Would ordinary heat rounds have similar holes? The produced jet is very thin in diameter as well.

So this Stryker is basically a mobile artillery vehicle?

9:41 You can tell The Chieftain apart right away from the photo as he is the tallest bloke

Vehicle on the left is more interesting btw

Will the emotional support missile come with the Stetson?

Former LAV 3 GIB: There should be two separate tanks. Source: RPG took out the right-side fuel tank of a LAV in one of our convoys in Kandahar.

4:18 _"...any Irish name is totally unpronouncable to an American when you're looking at it." "Niamh." Where's the problem? If a woman's name is Niamh, just remember that mispronouncing her name may be her biggest pet piamh and Roibín's your uncle.

Um, maybe the CATERPILLAR engine is painted yellow because that is CAT's corporate color?

The Army should replace the MGS with the Centauro 2 or Patria AMV XP

Saying the MGS "succeded" is saying a bit much

I'd be very interested to see your take on the successes Ukrainian Bradley's seem to be enjoying. A lot of people have called the Bradley a bad vehicle for a lot of different reasons, but the opinions of actual users of the vehicle seem to agree that it's an excellent, but not perfect, system.

Have been trained on Shilka in 1989, all I remember is interior being like "slots for humans". Also, professional NCOs who trained us complained they had only daughters, no sons.

The gun was too small. Ok for the Pacific, but not great in Europe.

"wheres the tire jack?" "Sir, this vehicle is going to a museum, we removed all its basic issue to stock the spares inventory in the motor pool"

"I hate slamming museum pieces" got me good 🤣

Make sure to make the tank right the first time, and the price wouldn’t have to double, but this seems to be the case with almost every military vehicle

such a beautifull car =)

😊👍❤

"Soviet Power Supreme" IRL

But how do you do track tension?!

Thanks

Thanks 👍

Question: Chieftain you stated that you’ve seen wheeled vehicles still functional. Even with wheels missing. I was wondering about the durability of wheeled vs tracks. Such as an explosion destroying a couple of wheels. As where a tracks would be unaffected. How much of a factor is the difference in durability?

The USS Flagstaff, a hydrofoil patrol boat, had an M551 Sheridan turret strapped to its bow

Great, the thing lays down its own smoke screen as it drives. Very useful.

Too bad they didnt make it stryker MSG (Mobile Suit Gundam)

Easily my favourite Russian tank

Are we going to see the portholes in part two?

The 75mm was exactly the same size as the 6 pdr, being a bored out 6 pdr, so no loss of space.

But how do you tension the tracks?

An interesting vehicle. Thanks Chieftain!

Your membership is worse than hitler

15:00; why did they put a J-Box in? No one said that they didn’t need to take them out!

Interestingly, he, Shinseki, made a decision that caused many of us to question his thought process. (Not stealing the Ranger’s beret) Why? He didn’t start off by making light units meatier, his initial unit was a heavy unit made lighter. Bad optics to those of us who didn’t know better.

Tank to the left?

Good to see that Q&A's are back, I have a question an answer would be appreciated for; in the past you've made reference to a training exercise where T32's were moved from one base to another in order to get some real world experience of how pre-built infrastructure would be able to cope with heavy tanks with the results being disappointing. In comparison the T28 was nearly twice the weight and had it been deployed to Europe as intended it would've had to deal with infrastructure and terrain that would've been in much worse condition and would have presumably severely hindered progress, my question therefore is was there any consideration for how T28 would've actually coped with making its way to the front lines and what sort of specialist support would it have required, or was it just presumed they'd make the tank first and work out that stuff when it got to Europe, any response would be much appreciated, cheers

How does one adjust the track tension on it ?

Please make a video supporting israel, there been a recent POGROM agaisnt jews in netherlands

Heh, Chief seems to know as much about this one as we do 😊

At last Stryker MGS my beloved

nice title

"Don't worry, I got permission" 😉

13:24 to 13:40. If you know, you know.

Instead of getting the RDF/LT, the Burford or the Thunderbolt, we got this "Concurrency" mess of a platform that routinely overheated and damn near toppled itself after each shot.

The two fuel tanks right tanks just goes in to the left tank

I can almost smell the DEET and dirty socks. Ahh, memories.
