M113 Drive and inside tour - M113 Schützenpanzer fahren

[@p4r7i54n]

Hab ein paar Monate die Version 1 mit Lenkbremshebeln und danach Version 2 mit Servolenkrad gefahren. Das Fahrzeug war immer sehr dankbar und leicht zu warten. Und sehr praktisch als Kommandoposten. Antenne hoch, Tarnnetz drüber, Umgebung sichern, mit ner Uzi.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 got them today!

[@donotinvite]

Not so great for modern combat

[@EricDaMAJ]

@@donotinvite If the Ukrainians drive them into battle in close support of infantry or with tanks, they're dead meat. Most anti-armor weapons can straight up melt it. It's always been a death trap in that role. But the vehicle was meant from the beginning to be a "battle taxi." It would take troops up to just a few kilometers short of the front line outside the enemy's max anti-tank weapon range. The armor is capable of stopping small arms and shrapnel. The troops then had to dismount and march the rest of the way. It can still do that mission today.

@@EricDaMAJ To be fair to armoured vehicles, and especially old ones, vehicle's aren't rendered obsolete just because of the ease of destroying them or even the lack thereof. Even if M113s and other vehicles were destroyed in record numbers, as long as their tactical role still needed filling, they'd still be used. Because the RPG that just destroyed them definitely isn't transporting troops or moving supplies, haha.

Grüße von einem MTW Fahrer 1980/81. Wir sind bei Wetzlar mit dem "Bagger" durch die Lahn geschwommen. Manöver im Februar, mit kaputter Heizung in Munster, Lüneburger Heide und Reforger Manöver im September 81,es hat viel geregnet und ich habe nächtelang unter dem M 113 gepennt weil es drinnen furchtbar gestunken hat.

[@volkerke5315]

Ich bin 1981 mit dem M113 durch die Lahn gefahren. Wie ein Mississippi Dampfer. Wir mussten in der engen Fahreröffnung Schwimmweste tragen. Der Hauptfeldwebel saß oben und hätte leicht anspringen können. Beim Reforger Manöver im September 81 habe ich in einer Ortschaft mal die Lenkbremshebel verrissen und bin ins Schleudern gekommen. Zum Glück ist nichts passiert. Es hat tagelang geregnet und der Gestank im M113 war nachts unerträglich so dass ich unter dem Panzer schlief. Im Februar 81 waren wir in Munster, Lüneburger Heide und die sch... Heizung war schon wieder kaputt. Bei einem Feindkontakt mit einem US Panzer bin ich mit Vollgas rückwärts in den Wald gebrettert und gegen einen Baum gefahren. Der Baum ist dann auf den M113 gefallen. Mein Gott, das ist schon so lange her und mir kommt es vor als wäre es gestern gewesen. Grüße an alle M113 Fahrer.

Detroit engine sounds amazing

[@wouterverheyden2486]

what armor is added on the sides?

[@oden151]

Probably one of those caged armor to neuter rpg attack

...a giant tracked coffin. In Vietnam it was common for troops to ride on top of the vehicle using sandbags for cover because it was safer than sitting inside.

[@chaosXP3RT]

Misconception, just like the myths about the Sherman

[@r.michaeldunwiddie2449]

Very true. I was with the 11th ACR when we deployed from Ft. Meade, Md. in August of 1966. We loved the 113 ACAV as it was called then Armored Calvary Assault Vehicle. Earned my CIB as a 11th Cav trooper.

@Unintentional Failure Thanks bro ! this is a very good armored personnel carrier

[@thorstenrichter5147]

Die hatten glaube ich bis Anfang der 70er noch den Benzinmotor gehabt

[@Dovahkiin520]

Nah, it was quickly changed to a diesel after production in the early 60s.

How many Soldiers does it take? Nevermind, apparently it takes 2 Crew & 11-15 Soldiers 👻

[@IMAN7THRYLOS]

All these soldiers will be outside, riding on the top of the vehicle for maximum safety. The design flaw of this vehicle is the paper thin armour under its belly. An anti armour mine will instantly kill it and everything that is inside. That is why most soldiers during the Vietnam war used to ride on the top of it. That said, they have been armies that customised it a lot and added decent armour and other weaponry like Gatling guns and anti tank missiles. Regardless this is an APC that has no place in modern warfare because it lack speed, modern sensors, firepower and network centric capabilities.

[@soul0360]

It depends the variant. As I recall, the troop carrier variant of the M113A1 used by the Danes caried around 12 soldiers + the 3 man crew. It was an extremely tight fit though. And I think It got lowered, when it was decided too look at Platoon sizes in their doctrine. I might recall incorrectly, and this only happened on the G3 model, not the A1, as shown here.

[@gfys756]

@@IMAN7THRYLOS The US moved M113's to rear-area roles in the 1980's. They're not meant for front-line modern combat.

Good thing it’s not a weapon, but a transport vehicle.
