Well Mats, you say you do not expect the South Koreans to build highly sophisticated equipment, but look at their MBTs, they are quite impressive as well. OK, they incorporate some foreign equipment (only to produce and improve on them themselves) like engines and guns, but SK has become and technological powerhouse in its own right fro a long time. Its shipping industry is leading in the world only now to be slowly overtaken by China in terms of production volumes (and probably not so much in terms of quality) whicj is building pretty impressive submarines for the ROK Navy. Its aerospace industry is quite respectable too with the T-50 being a domestic programme in which SK partnered with Lockheed Martin and it's in the process of developing a semi-domestic fighter aircraft somehwere between 4++th generation and 5th gen. Besides that, Samsung is a world player in domestic appliances, telecom and mobile telephones. In short, the South Koreans are a force in its own right to be reckoned with. As for powerfull, sophisticated military vehicles I share a certain amount of scepsis with you. Our Dutch CV90/35NL have suffered problems in part for not being 'hooligan proof.' Having been with the armoured infantry I know the equipment has to robust enough to survive an encounter with not very sophisticated riflemen in prolongued high tempo operations or exercises. Touch screens are a bit too delicate for my taste. And a sturdy climate control is far from a luxury with all that sensitive computing power in the one end and about 9-10 smelly guys covered in sweat, dirt, grease etc. on the other. The last thing that stands out about this vehicle - and many contenders as well - is the very high profile. WIth so many advanced, long range and relatively cheap ATGWs flying around on any future battlefield, I'm not to sure whether size + APS/ECM and armour equals survivability anymore. You made a video on these unmanned vehicles with an autocannon the other day. At the moment I think that is the way forward: dispersion of firepower, sensors and riflemen in lighter, yet faster vehicles that are cheaper and easier to replace rather than heavy armour packed with tonnes of sensors and protection systems. I'd be quite interested to see how the USMC transformatio is taking shape; the present day Commandant, general Berger, wants smaller, more agile units that can swiftly take a position (by force if necessary), hold on to it and fly or sail massive artillery and long range missiles in to push the potential adversary (most likely China) in the defensive as fast as possible. If I'm not mistaken that will require more and smaller ships that are harder to detect and a dispersed force concept rather than the massive Marine Expeditonary Forces (MEF) concept. The USMC have said goodbye to their Abrams already. Let's see what's next, in the likelyhood that Australia will follow suit in one form or the other.

[@hishot1078]

Survival of the fittest. If you have hostile nations surrounding you, what else to do? Make more weapons.

[@seouliteinmumbai7955]

This is so well researched. Thanx!

[@shinshin367]

Thanks to Korea's neighboring countries, excellent weapons are born.

This kind of videos makes this chanel incredible

[@serpentzawallace386]

when i first heard the word 'red back', i thought it was some aussie term for sunset scenary in 'outback'

[@wattlebough]

Nasty little spider like the black widow that injects liquid fire in to your body when it bites. Don’t get bitten by a red back spider.

[@paulbaker9277]

You know it when you are bitten on the nuts by a red back , they love to hide under the dunny seat for an unsuspecting ass .

[@jt.wojcik]

An excellent video, as always. It may be a piece of news that presently Poland is considering procuring the AS21 Redbacks platform for their heavy IFV program along with K-2PL Black Panther MBTs for which the contract was recently (2 weeks ago) signed. So maybe not only for Australia .......

[@jt.wojcik]

Some updates about that. I love the way this IFV presents itself and ALL "even" German new IFV's have "early stage" problems. But about some less known facts about current AS-21 development. As for now AS-21 "Redback" exists in 4 prototype units. It is important to emphasize that those units are not even early production units just assembled prototypes. 3 of them are tested in Australia (hot weather) and 1 is tested for the possibility to be adopted by the Armed Forces in Poland (very cold weather). Let me share some early conclusions, known to the public, from the Poland tests. As for now AS-21 "Redback" failed field tests. The turret which is originally offered to the Australian Armed Forces, and which is a non-Korean design, failed to work in cold temperatures, and winter conditions in Poland, and it is said to be replaced with a design from a different manufacturer. The chassis itself also has many "early stage" technical problems and Koreans are currently working hard to make it work. This is just to show how much time it takes, how much work needs to be done, how difficult it actually is to meet the different market needs and make a modern military product.

[@michaelbrown1739]

UPDATE: Australia selected the Redback, but a reduced number.

[@jt.wojcik]

And finally Poland didn't pick it up because the Redback demonstrator was deemed incapable of handling cold winter temperatures. In effect Poland decided to design the heavy IFV by themselves and base the design on korean K-9 howitzer chasis (similar to the Redback). The new heavy IFV design should be presented to the public next year.

[@vsn119]

Some Westerners tend to underestimate Korea for it's technical achievements, especially Brits and Canadians casually underrate Korea... Luckily Australians are different from Brits & Canadians.

[@nevillebutler8172]

EOS ( electro optical systems ) I believe is an Australian company , predominately located in Canberra Australia , but my also have operations elsewhere around the world .

[@kingpetra6886]

Very Impressive.

[@aussietaipan8700]

Thanks Mat for presenting this, it looks to be a great vehicle. We should also have a more powerful tank with my fangs attached. The one thing I would like you to look at is the French subs that we have/will acquire. To me they should have been nuclear propelled due to our massive coastline that we need to control.

You always thank us, I wanna thank you for such cool videos. I think that IFV is sexy and stands a chance, like you said, at least serve notice to the big boys on the block

[@YaMomsOyster]

“South Korea as not being the most technologically advanced” bro Matt , ya kidding aren’t you? with North Korea still at War with the South Korea, continuously for over 70 years, they are very much advanced in Technology and “Cutting Edge” From Hyundai Heavy Industries to Samsung Industries they are world leaders second to none and their Technology and Defence Industries are fantastic and produce some of the finest equipment in World! And it’s pronounced “Austraaaalia” Mate! We never really wanted to part with the M113 , but had to after we extended their lives as much as possible . And then this thing showed up and is exactly what we had in mind as a replacement! P.S Australia is on a spending spree at the moment and it’s about time. FromArmour to Hypersonic Missiles the ADF have a blank Cheque at the moment for procurement purposes.

[@AdstarAPAD]

These companies are VERY keen to win contracts with the Australian Army because winning this contract will give them a big boost in credibility when they put forward their designs to other like nations.. Other armies know that the Australians will not be buying second rate.. So they will take note of who wins these contracts..

[@luisgottwald1382]

"Not so sophisticated equipment"?!? What's with the K2 MBT, Raybolt ATGM, K-SAAM (with Russia), K9 SPGH, Naval guided munitions, AI-controlled weapon turrets, Stealth-destroyers, ...

[@joshuaeah]

lol same, i was a bit thrown off by that comment

[@user-sc9oy1kz8g]

Probably because they have really jumped forward in the last couple of decades. Ask the average person which countries they think have advanced militaries and South Korra wont spring to mind for most.

[@themadmutt2270]

K9 thunder has taken the contract for the Aussie self propelled artillery.

[@aussiefan354]

As an Aussie I would love it if we got this vehicle. But our defence procurement is too corrupt

[@superk9142]

I agree with

[@aussienscale]

meaning what ? give examples of the corruption ?

[@oldmanriver1955]

I think Boxer was a great decision. I wonder, however, if they will spread the manufacturing around. Qld got Boxer with the possibility of more later. Victoria has finished the M113 upgrades so Hanwha already the site for the 155 Hanwha howitzers . . . Jobs, jobs, jobs.

[@natig3542]

I wouldn't say that. Just when one PM orders something the next PM cancel something and it becomes crap. Australian politicians needs to follow through with what is needed and stop cancellations in important sectors like in our defence. Our military is small enough. They should atleast have the best available equipment for them. military with good equipment can defend with a big punch. A small military poorly equipped end up putting up only a white flag

[@gaufrid1956]

Maybe the South Koreans should also produce an MBT with a 122 mm cannon and the same anti-tank missiles as the Redback and call it the Funnel Web...

[@rafaelgonzalez65]

Hi, Mat! Interesting subject, thanks! I would like to have activated the subtitles option in this video, (easier for me, a non-english speaker). Love this channel. Saludos, amigo!

[@powderriver2424]

I’m impressed with the rubber tracks the technology of the modern rubber track is, in my opinion, such that it can compete with traditional steel track and be more capable with less maintenance at least on a light vehicle as compared to a MBT.

[@fritzkrakaz]

Less vibration, low cost, less weight, faster repair on battlefield. And hence suitable for Australian landscape. Countries like Korea will require steel tracks like the K21 IFV.

[@queenpro489]

so beautiful

[@hojer95]

Do you know about the norwegian army got the K9 and are looking at replacing there old leopard 2A4 with them possibly looking at the K2 black panther (I think it was hanowag that made an instagram post showing the norwegian representative looking at one). also the K2 is being pitched for the polish army.

[@cvdheyden]

Very sexy IFV even though the Lynx will win the beauty contest. But thats not the thing to make a choice. I am very excited to see this thing coming up. Its good for Rheimetal either way, because they will see, they can't stop and need to go on. Cool vehicle. Love it.

[@stevenkim5688]

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

3:34 OK that model is really cool.

[@BrianHSC]

Biggest advantage of Redback over Lynx to me is the machine gun. Lynx coaxial machine gun is fixed to the turret so it can only face the direction of the turret. Redback's machine gun moves independently of the turret. This may sound minor at first but imagine urban warfare with a machine gun that can't turn.

[@HedgehogZone]

This is incorect the lynx has a unmanned second turret for on the top, that can aimed just like this tank. But the lynx has a 3 barrel gatling as an extra that is more than this tank can offer!
