Veloce e Furioso | Autoblinda AB40 feat.

The AB40 armored car was the most innovative reconnaissance vehicle of the Regio Esercito (Eng: Royal Italian Army) developed before the Second World War. FIAT and Ansaldo collaborated to respond to two requests for new armored cars: the first was to replace the old Lancia 1ZM, FIAT-Terni-Tripoli and FIAT 611 armored cars in service in the Royal Italian Army; whilst the second, was to replace the Lancia 1ZM in service in the Polizia dell’Africa Italiana or PAI (Eng: Italian Police in Africa).

TEC's italian pronounciation: *exists* Italian ears: *implode*

[@lorenzopollocaffe6277]

For sure, one thing we (italians) were good at was designing and building armoured cars, bombers, and boats

[@artyomascaron3985]

what a beautiful vehicle it is, I love the autoblinda!

[@graemes813]

Very good thanks. Just to note that there is an AB 40, with 20mm gunned L/6 turret, at the South African Military History Museum in Johannesburg. If I remember correctly, it was captured in North Africa.

Hey Brother , in Our language the letter " c " Is not pronounced as the Spanish "s" but We pronounce It as yours "chee" ...So Esercito Is not "Esersito" but "Esercheeto" Just to help ...

[@captainfactoid3867]

TEC has a great voice for these kind of things

[@kimjanek646]

I hate that guy. I unsubbed because he just keeps talking forever instead of making a point. He’s voice also bores me to death. But hey as long as others enjoy him 🤷🏻‍♂️ I just wanted to check if I could handle the video but unfortunately I can’t 😂

[@artyomascaron3985]

wait a sec, the ab41/42 were used extensively in africa as well, not jsut the machinegun armed ab40.

[@TanksEncyclopediaYT]

The AB41 did see service in Africa, and you can see all of that in the AB41 video from earlier we made. The AB42 was a prototype that never saw service. The AB43, while built and seeing service, never saw service in Africa and mostly served under German colors.

[@artyomascaron3985]

@@TanksEncyclopediaYT ah my bad, when Tec mentioned the ab41 at the end of the video I thought this video was covering all the different versions... and I also confused the ab42 with the 41. thanks for pointing that out. I forgot there were ab40s with autocannons.

[@CreateCleverKids]

well put together

[@manuelmaggioli9077]

Interesting Video....

[@Supernionra]

Jim is my favorite editor

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

0:49 Why is there a diagonal chess board around the turret?

[@rudolphantler6309]

Would any sort of AB40 rare type be a best addition for a War Thunder 1.0 SPAA? Preferrably with the extra top MG. Either only early (preseries) model, or an exceptional upgraded variant.

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

I also appreciate a good silhouette...

[@DottorHealer]

5:44 BRO AHAHAHA

[@otto253]

We need a video on Oswald please

[@TanksEncyclopediaYT]

Hello Tantrum, We already have a very good article on the Oswald and it does not look likely that will be turning it into a video. Check out our website tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/nazi_germany/infanterie-pzkpfw-mk-ii-748e-oswald/

[@otto253]

@@TanksEncyclopediaYT Didn't realise you guys had an article. Thanks I'll take a read through it. Have a good day.

[@purplejade657]

Magic collaboration with European Canadian lol Warthunder moment

[@mathewkelly9968]

Jazz up the armour layout you could still get good service out of this vehicle today ........ and then not much jazz needed

[@Kalashnikov413]

Carro Armato P43 Bis please

[@cosimobrandizzi7922]

Ma quello fu solo un disegno

Wenn Herr Raths eine Wette verloren hat, gäbe man ihm so einen Rezensionsauftrag. 😅 Danke für die Warnung vor dem Buch! Es wird definitiv nicht gekauft. Und jetzt ab in die Ägäis. 🫠
