Military grave yard full of cool old stuff! Tanks, Hueys, and more! Russel military museum.

[@frustratedfriar9632]

The tall, long and skinny looking helicopter is called a SKYCRANE and it did a heck of a lot more than just lift a container(shipping type) that you thought. Light tanks and other armoured vehicles, artillery pieces to various modules such as control rooms, HQ module to even triage units. Some are still flying today mainly for fire fighting and some rescues. It is a unique unusual and bloody desirable machine. I would love to own and fly one.

[@WeldingandWheeling]

That sounds quite useful

[@luigigunner]

The piece in front of the M-60 tank is a mine roller. It's an attachment that goes in front of the tank and rolls over mines in order to detonate them.

[@WeldingandWheeling]

Sounds like fun

[@khalifgreen581]

The oskosh is a hemtt. Heavy expanded mobility tactical truck.

[@WeldingandWheeling]

I had heard of Hemtts before but never knew what they stood for.

The border patrol dune buggy engine at 24:28 is a subaru flat four cylinder. Water cooled not air cooled radiator is at the back of the vehicle. At 26:24 is an a-10 thunderbolt II. At 26:36 from left to right are MIL Mi-24 helicopter, Mcdonnell Douglas F-15 eagle, General Dynamics F16 Fighting Falcon, and early Vought A-7 Corsair II

[@WeldingandWheeling]

Hmm thanks for pointing out the Subaru I can’t believe I never noticed the radiator. Seems like you have quite the knowledge on this stuff!

[@roarexenl]

the plane at 26:49 is a Cessna O-2 Skymaster its an observation plane used to locate downed pilots during the vietnam war, it has a pusher and puller engine. it is missing its tail and wings.

[@WeldingandWheeling]

Thats cool, Im going to go look one up now

[@dodgeme1986truck]

That attachment on the ground is for mine clearing it goes on the front of a tank and rolls where the tracks are going to travel

[@WeldingandWheeling]

That makes a lot of sense, I figured it was something of that nature.
