ei posso fazer um pedido de um vídeo sobre um projeto de tank ,do EET1 OSÓRIO um projeto dos anos 80/90 brasileiro que se tivéssemos concluído seria o adversário do M1A2 ABRAS mais por fatores de compra e escândalos de "sabotagem "e calotes só foi feitas duas unidades de demonstração de suas versões (de:canhão de alma-rajada=120mm e de 105mm.)

It was an informative and wonderful introduction video about infamous French crotale surfaces to air missiles (family), which widely expanded its several versions and multi upgraded in the world..utilize to attacking airplanes ✈️ in law attitude. Thank you 🙏 ( weapon detective 🕵️‍♂️) channel for sharing.

Over the course of 7 years, the Saudi air defense shot down 850 Houthi drones...many of which were shot down by the Cortal and Shaheen systems, as well as Oerlikon GDF cannons

[@l.everetttalbottjr.275]

Oh, I hated the Crotale playing desert strike. Hits harder than the Rapier and too fast to dodge.

[@jawarakf]

Only on paper and marketing claim. In Iraq Operation Desert storm, Crotale was the SAM that failed to hit anything just like Mirage F1 with its R530 Matra and R550 Magic missiles failed to hit any US fighters. Whereas Russian made SA-6 was best performer, even old SA-2 had 1 recorded kill. In air to air, only Russian made R-40 had successfully hit US aircraft. French weapons are inferior to Russian & American.

[@NineSeptims]

France maybe did that intentionally@@jawarakf

The White Supremacist regime in South Africa used the Crotale surface to air missile against Angola and Cuban MiGs during their military intervention in the Angolan Civil War.

I hadn’t even read the word “crotale” in 35 years, but it always stuck in my mind for some reason from playing Desert Strike as a kid. Today I found out it was an actual weapon system lol

[@Noubers]

I can still hear them launching over the chop chop chop of the blades. Those and the Rapiers. That game definitely inspired a long lasting love of air defense systems in me haha

Incorrect, Pakistan hasn't retired crotales, all of them are in service, they are being upgraded infact

[@alexanderthegreatzabaras7492]

lol you actually said there’s a shoulder mounted variant- ain’t no way someone’s putting this on their shoulder like a javelin/stinger or any other shoulder mounted rockets/missiles.

Back in the day it wasn’t Thales but Thomson-CSF. Back then the USA, and other countries as well, also sold military equipment to China.

[@IamtherealDodger67]

The original vehicle, as supplied to South Africa, was utterly rubbish on any surface except perfectly flat tarmac or concrete. It got stuck even on mowed grass.

[@Diadema033]

It was quite heavy, because it was an eletric unit basically just for paved ways.

[@nihilmiror6312]

But are they drone proof? 😉

[@herptek]

It is a false narrative that drones are such an invincible new threat. Where ever they excel, they do so because they perform a function of some older type of weapon or hardware with less cost and more expendability, not because they are a step into something previously unheard of.

[@brunol-p_g8800]

Following experiences in Ukraine, the answer is yes.

[@demoncore7275]

it is so french to cut from the carrier platform end up with an ill proportion. i bet it would be better at the back of any proper sized truck even w/o armor Like Germans, americans and chinese did...

[@phrog773]

strategic mobility is a thing, and it’s a much more pressing concern for the french than any of those countries (US does it too but everything fits in a C-5 or C-17 and they have dozens of both)

This weapon is of no relevance. legacy of old design, limited upgrades, unable to deal missile threats and not supplied to Ukraine in meaningful numbers.

[@adrien5834]

Yeah. Every armor company should have its own Patriot battery...

[@brunol-p_g8800]

The ones delivered to Ukraine have proven to b e highly successful in destroying all kinds of aerial threats.

[@The_ZeroLine]

And France has given exactly (edit: all of two!) to Ukraine and only given half as much $ worth of military aid as Lithuania despite an economy 64x bigger w/much of it being the useless AMX. And if you wanna talk about a country with an imperial mindset…

[@CCC-nf3bk]

And you have exactly ZERO idea of what you're talking about since France has given two of its Crotale batteries to Ukraine.

[@The_ZeroLine]

@@CCC-nf3bk Oh, wowee, is it two Crotales now?! Still, doesn’t change the fact that France has given basically jack shit. Sorry, if that fact hurt your feelings.

[@thegto8535]

Lithuania shares the same issue Ukraine does, it has a border with Russia and want to keep them busy elsewhere. France does not and does not have those priorities; they don't have to give anything actually. What connection can you possibly make between all the bs you spout and an imperial mindset ? Then how exactly is it an imperial mindset ?

[@CCC-nf3bk]

@@The_ZeroLine you do realise that France has in total 12 crotale batteries do you really think they're gonna give them all ? Just think a little

[@The_ZeroLine]

@@thegto8535 France was saved from Germany by other countries that didn’t share a border. I guess we didn’t owe them anything, right? Germany doesn’t share a border and has given $17.1b (France, meanwhile, $443m). If you need to ask about France’s imperialistic history and attitude, you need to do some very basic history learning. I can’t become a history book for you.

Do the French use this system to shoot white flags to advancing armies so they can surrender in a quicker and safer manner?
