Hello. Some clarifications and corrections: 2:18 Argentina considered the AMX-30 and Leopard 1, both modernized. The commissions went to France (to continue with the same technology) and to Germany (where they contacted several companies, not just Henschel). The American M60 was offered later. 3:09 The first TAM prototype (TAM-A) was received in 1977; It was the TH-300 without modifications. Later two more prototypes were received (TAM-2 and TAM-3) for more tests. With all the modifications made, the final TAM (TAM-4) was obtained; It was the equivalent of the TH-301. 4:55 The hatch can be used to recover crew from another armored vehicle (removing the ammunition present there). 5:50 Not all tanks have that cannon. Those that were prototypes have the German versions and the first series has the Israeli versions of the famous 105mm L7. 8:59 There is no such thing as a TAM 2C-IP, it is not a real project. 10:08 The VCDA has not been serialized because it was an idea or preliminary project, which was not formalized or prototyped. 10:16 This is false. The TAP draft does not exist, it is an invention of social networks. But apparently around 1978 Tyssen-Henschel took the TH-301/105 and modified it to carry 120/44 guns. 13:12 Here we must add the German restrictions, the fall of the Soviet Union and the overflow of armored vehicles that depreciated the value and canceled negotiations of their analogues in the West. Regards, Coldown.

We could have bought them from Germany (TH301) and maybe setup tank production here but probably the cost is expensive.

[@donutrangerr]

@nizammahmadi2963 cost aside, production locally would've saved way more in the long run if you include operational and maintenance cost. TAM is very suitable with our doctrine too (low visibility, mobile) and can fire modern rounds unlike our Pendekar tanks - which is still a decent tank that's light and suitable with our terrain but not mobile enough with the horrible reverse gear and super cramped space. Even the Japanese Type 16 would've been better with tbh... But too bad they can't sell

A small error is that the tam palmaria does not have a modified tam chassis but rather the rest of the prototype chassis of the tap project. If the 155 mm cannon could be adapted to the tam, they would have already changed the 105 mm one to the 120 mm one. Don't you think? . the tam palmaria is called itself so as not to cause confusion with the names but it is still not a member of the tam family even though it is one in essence

@@valentinomordacci8646 es MENTIRA de internet que el TAM no puede soportar ese cañón y a esa mentira la inventaron los mismos que inventaron el TAP para justificar la existencia de un modelo pesado con cañón de 120mm. Te lo repito, el TH400 era un vehículo LIGERO de 6 ruedas y podía montar ese cañón. El cañón de 120mm L/44 es más liviano que el L7 105mm. Otros vehículos similares al TAM, como el CV90-12, utiliza un de cañón de 120mm L/50, éste cañón es de Ruag y de corto retroceso, significa que el vehículo debe soportar parte del disparo, y ningún problema con eso.Te doy un caso más extremo, el anfibio ruso 2S25 Sprut de apenas 18 toneladas y menor blindaje que el TAM monta el mismo cañón de 125mm de un T-72 y nuevamente parte del retroceso se lo come el vehículo y la estructura no sufre ningún problema ¿En serio creen que la estructura del TAM es tan débil como para no poder montar y operar un cañón de 120mm? En ese caso queda en evidencia que sus 30 toneladas no sirven para nada y es obsoleto. El Palmaria tiene un chasis alargado y con apenas un par de rodillos de rodamientos, no sé incrementó el blindaje ni reforzó la estructura y puede disparar sin problemas el monstruoso cañón de 155mm. Con ese mismo criterio, el chasis del AMX13 F3 nunca podría haber montado un cañón de 155mm. Al parecer deberíamos habernos quedado con el AMX13 y equiparlos con un cañón de 120mm ¿No? 🤦🏻

The same German firm offered an upgraded version, the TH 301 for export.

[@TutiDelme]

Great video about the TAM. But there are a few things to correct (although mostly are going to try and deny me, because the historical revisionism our country has suffered) What happened between 1987 and 1990 was an internal conflict in the Army, there was nothing even related to a "coupe" being discussed. It was against the generals, who were a bunch of traitors that didn't even care about the wellbeing of the army in general (it was more complex). And those generals started filling the ears of the politicians with the pretext that it was a coupe, to gain favor and to be authorised to repress the "rebels". The "war against subversion" started as an order of the then president Isabel Perón, to ANNIHILATE the subversive elements (literal wording of the decree 261/75) who were attacking civilians, military and police personnel indiscriminately since 1964 (ERP and Montoneros were the biggest ones). After the Malvinas War, the government fell out of favor of the people (because most people liked the military government), the democracy returned, and the military personnel who committed war crimes was judged and sentenced per the military law, which was still in place inside the army. In 1989, president Menem extended an indult to both sides, military and guerrillas. In 2003, president Nestor Kirchner nullified the indult only to the military and police personnel, and started again with the trials. Most of them were seniors at this point, and have already been judged (which is against the constitution). Luis Labraña, Mario Firmenich, and others (who were militants of the guerrilla, and confessed of having committed crimes against civilians), recognised that the number of 30.000 "disappeared" was invented, because the real number was around 8.000, because the UNHRC didn't consider the number to be a "genocide" (word they use here). Of the 8.000, a vast majority of them were accounted in documents of the armed forces and police (like in every conflict, there were some horrible people who did heinous things, but like I said before, those were dealt with since the beginning). The terrorist attacks continued until 1989, with the last one being the attack on the military base La Tablada. Meanwhile, the families of the victims of those terrorist groups are silenced, segregated and all the memories of their beloved ones erased from history. And I could write a lot more, but I'm going to end with this: it was a war, and in a war, there is righteousness and evil. No one is exempt. But here it has become a prosecution of the military, not just the ones who were really guilty, but of anyone who was involved in any way, and even of their descendants and the armed forces as a whole.

[@cyberarchitect9280]

Oh the TAM in WarThunder it designated as a light tank and if I would be honest it is quite fitting. The only thing that makes Argentine special in my heart, and my friend I can tell you the fate of it is a tragedy. It had so much potential, but it was createdat the wrong place wrong time. Maybe in I don't know....in Austria (for example) whould have been a more succesful vehicle. The change of it to wheeled vehicles is quite logical I'm curious which one will be (Centauro B2, Patria AMV...etc...) the Centauro would be a good choice I think because the Freccia wheeled IFV is based on it as well, but I would be happy to see a proper and entirely executed modernization programme for the TAM. Also the Rhm Lynx platform would a good replacement too. Anyhow, thanks for the video, I consider it as the Christmas present pf mine from you dear Detective. Merry Chistmas and Happy New Year for you.

Sadly not going to happen any time soon. Argentina is like the poorest country of SA bar Venezuela and Equador with poverty rates reaching 40% this year by government's own admission (so real number are probably higher) and even if they fix all their economical and social issues it'll be decades before they are in shape to buy a new tank. Most likely they'll drag the TAM as long as they can while buying surplus Leopard for spare parts or maybe some Chinese or Brazilian vehicles if they are feeling fancy and don't care about lack of tech transfer (any gear featuring English parts is sanctioned due to the Falklands and all of the heavy industry that built the TAM is long gone).

I thought the Ukraine war had proven that tanks in general, and lightly armoured tanks in particular, are fundamentally obsolete and militarily completely useless. I certainly wouldn't want to be stuck I one of these coffins on a modern battlefield.

[@tuff9486]

Heavy tanks are not effective in Argentina´s terrain. Ukraine veterans also prefere light tanks. Tanks are not obsolete. Soviet pushes are.

[@ohlordy2042]

@@baronvonslambert Fair points. But one major lesson learned from Ukraine is that rifle armed, "screening" infantry do not stand a chance of stopping the infantry-portable anti tank team hiding in the tree row 800 metres away. Or behind the earthen bank 1200m away. Or behind the shed 1800m away. Or even in the next village 2.5 kilometres away. Man portable anti tank rockets are now lethal from ranges that make "screening" infantry fundamentally obsolete. And then we need to discuss the new and extreme dangers of small attack drones and drone guided, precision artillery. As I said, I really wouldn't want to be in a tank on the modern battlefield (or a close support aircraft for that matter).

[@darrenjones3681]

What exactly is the modern battlefield, there isn’t one as things are rapidly evolving and conflicts differ greatly for region to region, think of both gulf wars , not a drone (except predator) in sight but full on larger scale tank and IFV battles, with mechanised infantry support, Afghanistan completely different, Ukraine completely different, Serbia cosovo completely different, the Isreal West Bank is completely different to the golan heights, as will the impending South China Sea will be

[@ohlordy2042]

@@darrenjones3681 Again, fair points. But, as you say yourself, the battlefield is rapidly "evolving". Gulf wars 1 and 2 may not have involved the use of many drones (or infantry portable anti tank systems with effective ranges of up to a few km). But you could bet Gulf War 3 would be characterised by those weapon systems. The South China Sea? Will be a maritime (air and navy) war. Tanks not appropriate at all. Taiwan? I'd bet my bottom dollar that any attacking Chinese army would be loaded with drones and effective, man portable anti-tank systems. Tanks (light tanks, especially) would be a useless death trap in a battle for Taiwan. Afghanistan.....very few tanks needed or used. It was not a "positional" war. Instead, it was an irregular, guerilla war fought against small, fast moving, unpredictable groups of lighly armed fighters who's main tactical advantage was that they blended in with the civilian population. Tanks were not appropriate. Israel-Lebanon.....the Israeli's learned some hard lessons about the limitations of tanks on a modern battlefield in their last war (2006?) against Hezbollah. Tanks will be far less effective, again, in the next war because anti-tank capabilities have grown enormously in the mean time. There will be vanishingly few military environments in the future where tanks are both useful and effective. If small units of infantry armed with modern, man portable anti tank weapons, can find a place to hide within a few km of an attacking force, if they have suicide attack drones, if they are supported by precision artillery systems or if they are supported by high altitude aircraft with precision guided munitions, then tanks will prove to be a death trap. The infantry anti-tank weapons and suicide drones are available to almost any enemy. The precision artillery and high end air force capabilities will, inevitably, be rapidly acquired by potential enemies like China.

[@dylanmcgill9544]

todays era has changed, tanks have come a long way since ww1. back in ww2 for example Germany favors armour and firepower instead of mobility but after the war, Germany decided to abandon the armour doctrine and decided to go the mobility and firepower route. tanks like the leo 1 is still armoured to an extent but it is no where near armoured enough to protect itself from anti tank rounds. my point is, it doesn't matter how much armour there is to a vehicle anymore. most likely, there is a cannon out there that is able to penetrate it. the question is, how much armour is needed to protect the crew of the tank or at least reduce the spalling caused be the penetrated round.

[@mebsrea]

Hmm. Maybe Argentina would be interested in selling a few dozen of these to Ukraine? Or perhaps donating them in exchange for a promise of some Leopard 2s from Germany a few years down the road?

[@mebsrea]

⁠@@matiasmontaldo2616Not the same gun, but a NATO-standard 105mm cannon, the same as that used by the Leopard Is Ukraine already operates. Also, much of the technology is based on the Marder IFV, which Ukraine also already has. It would functionally be like expanding Ukraine’s stock of Leopard Is, which would be more useful than the T-54/55s that as far as I know no NATO country still uses.

So gifting or exchanging is not an option. - Everything has a price and gifting some equipment, considered the economy that cross Arg in now, its impossible. At least Ukraine has to buy it and being trained in Argentina, it could be considered like an option. - Theres seem no intresting in helping more than say: "good luck" and being "allies" in some economic resource in a very few amount. First Arg. need to fix his own country, then probably help others. Last reason: *No hay plata* (Theres no money)
