25 Military Vehicles at Work in the U.S. Armed Forces

Hello everyone, you are watching another episode of Military TV. In today’s session, we will take a look at 25 Formidable Military Vehicles at Work in the U.S. Armed Forces. If you are eager to know more detail on this topic, stayed tunned and don’t go anywhere!
In 2016, the United States spent $612 billion on defence. For many others, that level of military commitment is worth it in order to protect America and its interests. Critics of military expenditure, on the other hand, believe that the money may be best invested elsewhere, such as on domestic affairs. Regardless of where you stand on the defence budget, almost everyone believes that the US military is breathtaking every year. The sight of planes landing on an aircraft carrier tickles the interest of people of all political stripes, while the capabilities of land-based vehicles excite the interest of practically everyone.
Anyway, if you are interested in the latest tanks, troop-haulers, and patrol robots on wheels, we've got covered it for you.
Here are 25 of the most-frightening military vehicles currently in use by the U.S military. Let’s check it out!

​@@bl8danjil Active Protection System

[@bl8danjil]

@@afx4777 I can see why you would think that, but these aren't APS though. Look at the dispersal pattern, they are in a wide spread dispersal pattern and aimed upward. Plus, I don't know of any vehicle outside of the Abrams and a few Stryker test vehicles where APS was installed. However, if you still think they are APS, then where is the smoke dispenser launchers? Because those are far more useful as concealment and deception and get used more frequently than an APS.

[@michaelstorrs4918]

Strykers came out and where used in Iraq 2003-2010 and is still currently used. Stryker:MGS used in 2007

[@jackmacjr]

As a US military veteran of almost 24 years of service , 19 years of which were in the US Army that first vehicle that you showcased is NOT a m117 Guardian , it is a M-1117 Guardian someone didn't proof-read the story very well . Besides being a very well built vehicle that vehicle has one item that endeared it to all the people who have crewed her since going into service and that was an AIR CONDITIONER that works in some of the hottest climates on Earth . Other than this FUBAR most of the rest of your content has been spot on , thank you !...!...!

[@ashmarsim]

The M109 is not a tank, its a self propelled artillery gun tracked vehicle

[@vigoedwinpandika1545]

Cougar 6*6,Humvee,and MRAP. and M1A2 Abrams tank is my favorite US armored force vehicles

[@willw8011]

The M109 was not created by the British BAE systems. It was created by an American company that BAE bought later.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Autonomous snow clearing. I think that remote control Polaris needs some sort of high rating bullet absorbent material. Like thick kevlar in certain key areas. To be capable of blocking some big bullets. You can drive it to blow up a mine, excape while getting shot at, transfering things from one spot to another without having to get in the way. Use it as better cover for gunfire of various degrees. Idk. Seeing all these guys driving around in bulletproof boxes and having autonomous bug rigs plow their airports it's kinda sketchy being the guy in the Polaris. Polaris needs more funding yo we skimping. Great 4 wheelers need bigger budget. Put a remote control 308 one of them robotic gyro arms so you can swing it left right up and down and shoot at bad guys from a remote control. Whoever driving that thing around underfunded. Maybe build in a suicide bomb function idk. Cool 007 stuff. If it can plow the airfield it should go up another level or two we already came this far man.

[@johaneslerius9074]

Honestly i love LAV-25 and M2 Bradley

[@waterbornesapper7953]

The HEMTT and LMTV are common use vehicles and I'm surprised those autonomous vehicles made the list but they didn't. The Husky didn't make the list either, even though it was the hero of the Afghanistan war.

[@alexincobra7379]

M2 Bradley doesn't transport 10 soldiers. Three of those are the crew.

[@brant6950]

I get what you mean put....are they not being transported by the vehicle..or are they walking outside the vehicle..

[@alexincobra7379]

@Bran T A driver is not considered a passenger. A crew of an infantry fighting vehicle doesn't get out and assault the objective. The crew stays with the vehicle until it is destroyed. They can't be counted as being transported.

[@brant6950]

@@alexincobra7379 he didn't say "passengers" he said transport 10 people... regardless where they sit in the vehicle ..they are going from one location to another through use of the vehicle..ie transportation..even if 3 crew members stayed in the vehicle

[@alexincobra7379]

@Bran T That is not how you say it, dude. You don't say the race car transported the driver , nor do you say a tank transported the crew to the battlefield. The vehicle and crew are one element. That fact that you're arguing this means you have never been in a mechanized unit or in a vehicle crew. This is what is taught in military to vehicle crews.

[@reconbygod]

🇺🇲💪 People ALWAYS F* This Up .... BFV Primary Crews Are Commander (BC). Gunner. Driver + Main Gun/TOW Loader. The M2 Is Used By The Infantry Units. Primary Crew + 6-10 Dismount Personnel. The M3 Is Used By Cavalry (Recon) Units. Primary Crew + 2-4 Dismount (Scout) Personnel. One Major + To The M3 Is. It Carries More TOW Missiles + HE And AP Rounds. BFV Total Armaments Are .... The 25mm BushMaster Main Gun. 240C (7.62) MG. TOW GM System x2. Port Holes For Small Arms Fire. Auto Grenade Launcher/Conceal Smoke Screen System. NBC Protection. And The Vehicle Is Swimable ....

I'm pretty sure the Humvee has been retired it got replaced by the JLTV The joint light tactical vehicle.

[@davidbroderick1085]

Nope. Humvees are still in service, and will be for the foreseeable future. Still a useful and durable vehicle

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

@@davidbroderick1085 true bro but at this point it's kinda more like the collection is so vast and big that there's no sense in throwing something out just because its probably useful somehow some way. Isn't it about time to stop the budget and save up for a year and then develop a very similar design but a 2.0. the JLTV seems more like its own unique thing but it's tall so they engineer the thing to have a low transport mode. I just like the fester of the original humvee because it's low roof hight with high ground clearance. If it also had a low transport mode that would be cool .

[@bkenny5761]

They are being phased out, but I believe that is a process that will go all the way until 2050. Until then they will still be used

[@justinmarcotte152]

I mean what need do we have for Humvees anymore

[@bkenny5761]

@@justinmarcotte152 replacing them is a long process, and the JLTVs are quite a bit more expensive. With over 120,000 humvees in our fleets, and only having the budget to buy 2000-3000 JLTVs a year, it's gonna be a few decades. And the commander of the army said even once all is said and done they'll still use the large number of the old humvees for behind the scenes (non combat) roles

[@tristansundquist1834]

You know I was driving a humvee the other day and the Canadians pulled up next to me on base. They were in camo G-Wagons. I’ve never punched the air so hard in my life.

[@ViolentKisses87]

So it would supposely stop 7.62x39. Which if true is honestly impressive for its give weight. But that leaves basicly any range of medium caliber like from a hunting rifle or medium machine gun are going to smoke occupiants.

I made it to the AAVP and couldn't do it anymore. This is military TV and it is apparent you don't have much of an idea of what you're talking about. The AAVP and griffin both use the same weapons control turret and both have only 2 weapon systems. Now these could have been changed out for different variants, but mostly had a .50 cal and 40mm. The "grenade launchers" you note are smoke grenades for defense.

[@shaunspies1108]

Buffalo, a proudly designed and built South African product, bought over by the US just as thie MIKOR ML 8 40 mm grenade launcher. Together with the Nyala. The Rooikat will also be a good replacement for the striker. Low, fast, can withstand mines, and traverse trenches, and drive to safety before replacing a blown off wheel.

The US has the advantage that while some of the stuff it produces is crap (let's face it that's true!) .. some of it is good and marketable. So the military expenditure that is short term crap can also have good income for the US down the line E.g. how many of that expenditure list that is/was US have bought F16s/F35s etc. I'm not saying they are money printers but economics is complex.
