He didn't mention the panels that can temporarily hide the IR signature of the tank making it near invisible to thermal sights.
Or make it look like something else, like a VW Beetle that mysteriously just shot a Sabot round at you
"Make it more Sci-Fi looking"
-Some General probably
What he was pointing out was that 'failed' programs aren't wasted money, as they break ground which leads to further successful equipment that goes boom.
Theres a blowout door on the current abrams tank. Theres a video of an rpg hitting the ammo storage on the abrams. The blowout doors worked perfectly. The explosion and fire looks bad, but the tank and crew are fine.
More Task & Purpose please!
Great reaction. Research and development is never a waste.
Tanks are far from obsolete.
In the 1930’s, when man-portable anti-tank launchers were developed, experts said that tanks were obsolete. Then tanks with better armor and mobility were made.
In 1961, when anti tank guided missiles were becoming mainstream, experts said that tanks were obsolete. Then APS, ERA, and new tactics were developed against ATGMs.
In 2022, when drones started being used in mass, experts said that tanks were obsolete.
I think you can figure out the next part.
Well the US Military has never been wrong. They've successfully not called the end of dogfighting and took away an internally mounted cannon on the F-4's. They said the age of battleships were over and then proceeded to throw millions into keeping the Iowa class ready to deploy at any given moment. . . . They said the A-10 is no longer relevant as it has continuously demoralized enemies and invigorated boots on the ground. So....yeah, never wrong. 🤣🤣🤣
@@steeljawX ok, if you think that tanks are obsolete and that the US is wrong to upgrade them, then why is Russia investing into the T14 Armata program? I trust you can explain that?
@@steeljawX but the a-10 is outdated and garbage af. it has the highest friendly fire out of any ground support aircraft and theres plently of air craft that already do its role better. the only reason its still around is due to the air force mafia kicking and screaming "muh old ways are better!"
@@steeljawX The A-10 is a literal obsolete plane that cannot be useful in any near peer or peer-to-peer scenario. It is not relevant.
Forget ww2 imagine having auto burst chain gun on your tank in the trenches of ww1
Lmao an Alien in his cupboard
"boots on the ground" is a pretty old way of fighting too.
All the way up until the technology fails and/or counter measures make them worthless or even an unforseen conditional aspect like environmental conditions.
We learned this the hard way in Korea and apparently learned little because we faced it when I was in the mountains of Afghanistan too and most of our "hitech" stuff like tanks and Drones due to simple things like inclement weather conditions and unsolid ground can set missions back to 'boots on the ground' or devolved it into that.
Korea we started designing aircraft around long range Missile systems with no mind to "obsolete" wwii dog fighting and it went very bad for awhile for pilots as they couldnt hit enemy aircraft more agile and lacked guns and maneuvering capabilities comparatively to enemy's dogfighting design being used. I envision with our 95% shift to digital or automated, Electronic Warfare will periodically knock us temporarily in phases of old school necessity until we wisen up and understand there has to be a balance at this time, not a dependance.
I was a tanker in the Army. Try to remount a track with only 2 people. The driver has to stay where he is. We did not go with an autoloader in the Abrams because having a loader let you fire faster and if you had to switch round you did not just fire off the wrong one to do it.
I love Task and Purpose. Cappy does a great job explaining things in depth.
The Abrams X is just a show model for the military. The maker said there will be things the military like and things they don't like about it. It is just showing what can be done and NOT what will be done. As for the auto loader system the system they created back in the day had to load and unload like 40,000 round and do it over uneven terrain. The maker made a hydraulic system to simulate uneven terrain and the system worked flawlessly.
He definitely looks like he's hiding an alien in his cupboard.
I want to believe!
As for the color, I understand why you would think green would be the way to go, but America hasn't fought a war anywhere green since Viet Nam ...
As for whether tanks are good or not anymore, everyone else still has them.. So our guys won't be able to physically take ground without them. Without mobile armor and direct fire we are handicapping out troops.
Also, The digital capabilities going down of a tank wouldn't cause the tank to stop moving or even *firing (I believe) when switched to manual.
What about Panama, Grenada, Haiti and the Balkans? Also Abrams X was only a tech demonstrator so of course their going to pick the most distinct look they can.
@@chugachuga9242 you are right. tbh I totally forgot about Panama and Grenada cuz I'm Canadian... So when I say "we" it's kinda like as the U.S's little brother tagging along to the neighborhood brawl.. 😏 but even so, the boys have been scraping in the sand box for like 20 plus yrs now. Green tanks are a no go...I think the grey paint is probably a base though.
As for the Balkens I didn't know America sent Tanks in there. I knew they sent in planes for a few months, but I didn't know about ground troops.
As far as the electronics go, they've usually got redundancy built in (backup systems) or perhaps an "old school" manual way to operate it until they can get back to base.
The grey colour is probably primer, ready for any camo colours or patterns depending on where you are going to use it!
Maybe you could react to aircraft carrier vs amphibious assault ship
Was waiting for this
I think tanks will remain important for urban combat since they provide more fire power and cover and protection for ground troops working with the tank crews.
The abrams x isnt ment to replace the M1 right now. Its a tech demonstrator and it shows what could be done with the tech avaliable at the time right now.
Yeah a bunch of people seem to misunderstand that it's just a convenient test bed for a bunch of new/improved tech.
Tanks are so awesome. You ever go to the tank museum in the UK? Definitely on my bucket list. We have a pretty cool one here in Washington state. They also have a bunch of ww2 aircraft and do mock battles. So sick.
Task & purpose are brilliant. Considering they use open source to create their intelligence it’s very impressive. I’ve seen briefs from senior intelligence officers that don’t have half the skill of these guys.
Very nice video , I would recommend Lazerpig video about T-14 Armata and why this Russian tank is no superweapon
Yea I'd love to see him watch some Lazerpig.
I wish you can ride some of these vehicles you have shown.
America will chill when there no threat of evil to combat 👍🏻
The hippy with a GB hat!!!
If u find this tank pretty futuristic then u have to react to the KF51 Panther from Germany its another class☝
Love our planet!!!
when you mentioned that you had concerns for what use a tank has in today's conflicts: 1) active protection systems definitely make tanks more interesting...
2) if you have a nearly indestructible mobile weapons platform that can stay ahead of the boots on the ground and support / amplify their capabilities, then why not use such a thing?
What's your review of Essex dogs? I've got the book but haven't gotten round to reading it yet.
the Abrams is already quiet, due to the engine having a high pitch sound and you`ll hear the tracks before the engine, its why it got its nickname Whispering Death
Lockheed Martin, general Dynamics, general electric, Boeing and Raytheon.. THEY ARE ALL HIDING THE ALIENS 😂
There's no way they don't have spaceships back there hahaha
You should react to the Israeli A.I. assisted Merkava Barak tank revealed several months ago. Not sure how many videos are out there yet but what I saw it was very impressive.
The picture they showed had an exposed feeding system for the 30mm I really hope they come up with a way to protect that or 1 well placed round can jam that system.
Diesel Electric Technology has been around on trains for years. Same thing in this tank but with a battery for silent running.
Diesel electric drives or diesel electric hybrids?
Hey! You've reacted to Fat Electrician before, but I'd highly recommend his most popular video "America's anti-hero Jake McNasty", you won't regret it mate ;)
You and Cappy need a collab lol
You should do a video on the John cockerill tank boat lol
I live in Montana. We have good stuff for you over here. You left? When you come to visit. I'll show you all the good hidden spots lol 🙏
So give 500 old Abrams to Ukraine!
They will paint them based on the unit they go to, and where they train. Then paint them based on where they will deploy if they ever get sent somewhere.
That matte grey looks like it a primer base. Basically, an under coat that adheres to the metal better than regular paint giving your second and third coats something to bond with.
Presumably future models will be painted to match whatever part of the worlds they're going to.
In the middle of battle your tank is stuck buffering.
Point is cancelled programs tech researched usually is saved until later when it’s more feasible to use and more need.
Need to watch his newest video on project 2030 where US Marines want to do away with MBT's and go unmanned lighter version called Rippsaw it only weighs 10.5 Tons and can go 60mph and up to 100mph but then bad things would happen
More like 30-50 years ahead.
I too am a hippy!! And I am happy our tanks are going green
As for the gray, they are trying the old idea of flash painting the newer version is a pixelation design more camo style's. All this Tek kit is great till somebody lets off a big EMP then we need solid state fixable kit . And ways to still coordinate what ever is left ?
I thought it looked like a primer base, and future units would be painted based on wher they were going.
I think the paint is a radar absorbing paint like a new version of what the stealth planes have
Cyberdynes systems........
I believe it was the railroad/shipping industry that kind of pioneered diesel/electric, then the heavy mining industry for those building size dump trucks and excavators.. May want to check out a youtube channel called Edison motors, they are trying to make a production diesel/electric truck for logging/esc and also now trying to make conversion kits for older trucks, Really cool stuff.
When tanks go from place to place they tend to do so on roads. Roads are gray, trees and bushes are not gray.
Imagine having that gun in WW1 where trench fighting was the order of the day.
Desert Storm is a prime example when it comes to justifying the need for tanks.
I’m pretty sure there is never a private in one of our tanks.
That’s fucking nuts…
It looks to have the same grey paint job as the B-21 Raider.
4:27 to roughly quote the Chieftain, the tank will continue to be relevant until we come up with something better to take its place
Tanks are the backbone of combined arms.
The US paints their vehicles to match whatever terrain they're in.
Desert Tan for the desert, woodland green for the forest and so on.
How do you expect to move troops across land without tanks.
way i see it, a tank, by its most basic definition is a singular unit that can shrug off most weapons fired at it and carry far greater firepower than any infantry ever could. its purpose to lead the charge taking the hits and blasting a hole in enemy lines so the infantry can get in there and sweep up without getting massacred by MG nests. now lets think bout that. shrugging off hits, no where is it law that a tank HAS to have thick steel armor. it just has to be tanky. that could mean powerful and sophisticated anti projectile systems. or forcefields, or tech that we havnt concieced yet, basically as long as the tank is tanky and can pulverize enemy tanks and fortifications it serves its purpose. the tank of course as with ANY military unit cannot act alone. its merely a single cog in the machine. no one unit is the be all end all. imagine if ur locked in a serious peer to peer war and all ur air assets are tied up in massive dogfights and or being staved off by heavy anti air assets. well now whos gonna kill HMG nests and tanks and punch thru to kill those AA batteries so the CAS can resume bombing? now infantry support for a tank is so critical i realy think that a hybrid tank/apc is the way of the future. like the mighty merkava.
You should see "could the US NAVY patents explain UAPs" by Sandboxx
Tanks are a force multiplier. On their own, yeah, they are limited in effectiveness. But in a combat group, the presence of a tank allows a much smaller force to be effective against a much much larger enemy troop presence.
would love to see you react to coyote hunting...normal activity in the us. or hog hunting.
Until the US can perfect Mech technology, tanks will still be the leading hard hitter when it comes to movable, versatile, urban artillery
The Army has always wanted an onboard APU to save fuel. While also cutting down on high pitched sound from the running Turbine..
As for the auto control system. The new F-35 has an integrated computer. That can take control of ground units. As well as Drones and Artillery systems..This feature was also included in the new B-21 Raider. Something they worked hard for. As they had to reduce the wattage used onboard the Aircraft.. Something in the 35km range now..
I would add. The cost to train, pay, feed, clothe, house etc.. A 4 man crew is around $350,000.00 a Year. As most the Militarizes budget is in paying for Active and Retired Military personnel..A tiny portion is actually hardware cost..
The Tank the old way of fighting. Saids a grunt...............
light tanks/armoured cars are more likely to be the future unless armor can catch up
16:05 NASA and Military technology 10 years ahead... _Well_ that's both true and false. _Research_ may be years ahead but _implementation_ is often years behind. It takes a LOT of effort to come up with rad-hard electronics and then those electronics get deployed into systems that have to last for decades without the business/consumer "there's something better so let's upgrade" mindset. There are relatively-ancient CPUs and microcontrollers used in manned space flight. Some of the ISS technology, as Indiana Jones would say, "belongs in a museum."
My issue is pretty straightforward. The more complex a system is the more liable to breakdowns the vehicle becomes. The over reliance on technology creates a vulnerability and if operational tempo is high how reliable is the actual weapon? As we see in the Russian T14 Armata it’s not exactly a game changer. Not sure this will be an addition or an Albatross.
14:22 that includes the internet
I think your right about the to much electronics part. Yeah its great to have it but there is a lot that can go wrong and still suffers from the same weakness every tank has thin top and bottom the tracks can still be blown off easily. And with all the electronics you introduce a bunch of new problems. I'm more exited about the new m10 booker and they don't even consider it a tank but what it does have going for it, its light simple and somewhat cheap it reminds me of the old Sherman's tbh. The m10 would be perfect for the Ukraine situation if we had a bunch of them. We wont even send them our most modern abrams because we fear loosing the technology and we wont send them to our closest allies in nato either. Same with the f22 we don't export them but we will export the f35.
From my understanding, all your tech companies work that way. Everything they release is old. They are releasing it to recoup the money they spent on research and development.
I understand the belief that tanks are on the chopping block but you gotta consider some things.
1: Tanks represent directed heavy firepower. It's basically artillery, right next to you that can aim at the Russian BMP down the block.
2: It has way more heavy hitting ammo than any platoon or drone can carry and can stay in the field for days/weeks/months at a time nearly always on standby to fight unlike a drone or aircraft.
3: It's a vehicle that can handle nearly any terrain meaning when you cross a river and can't get your MRAP or Humvee or whatever across, the tank can probably still support you.
4: Advancing tech is making the tank just as survivable as ever despite advancing anti-tank weaponry and the every growing decentralization of combat capability.
5: Morale. Having a tank on your side is a HUGE Morale boost for our troops and a terrible loss for our enemies. Especially when you know its one of the greatest tanks ever built and the enemy probably cant dent it.
That said, I do expect them to become smaller and unmanned over time, or at least having unmanned options.
If there's ever a ground war either in China or USA, tanks will be at a logistical disadvantage due to the huge land areas they'd have to cover at speed, which means fuel supply and enough ammunition will be a nightmare to maintain. I believe cheap, unmanned, ultra-fast moving, lightweight ATVs that carry medium powered assault cannons (for shoot and move tactics) will be the future of the battlefield rather than sluggish and heavy main battle tanks that can be quickly destroyed from drones dropping bombs from above.
Tanks have been important in past wars, but today its a sitting duck. I hope our Army isn't depending on tanks in the future.
You need to watch a few of Nick "The Chieftain" Moran's videos. He goes into a lot of detail about tanks, but he also gives some really good points. Like what's the purpose of a tank? A lot of media and laypeople would tell you it's to be the rhino on the field with a big boom! Ah....kinda, but also no. It's carrying effectively direct artillery around the battlefield on the front lines. Compare it to the mobile artillery and it has more options as far as what it can do in terms of supporting the troops around it in the right now. Compare it to standard artillery, you've got just as many if not less crew in a mobile platform able to take their big gun from point A to point R and hit every point in between a whole lot faster than loading up the ammo and packing the gun. Hopping in the truck or IFV, driving to the next point, unpacking every thing, getting coordinates, firing, waiting for a response of how good or bad you did, correcting, firing again, and then rinse and repeating.
Tanks literally are big guns that move on their own to where they need to. Yes they have many weaknesses, but so do boots on the ground, and we've yet to push to say that soldiers are obsolete (in any serious manner.) And we all "know" the solution for any tech problem, Luke. "Have you tried turning off then turning it back on again?" I will die if that becomes the standard fix for these kinds of systems. It's the US Military....they ain't doing any better than Microsoft.
I like shack shud with tank turrets on it
Program is a reality since it cancelled the M1A2 Sepv4 and 5 programs for Abrams X production.
Leave the beard, it looks good, Glad to have consistent videos again, it didn’t feel like a 2 year break
Yes in the normal mindset tanks are becoming obsolete, however that is not where they are going with this. New platform for IA unmanned units that talk to each other with out satellite needs.
From a tanker of 21 years in the US ARMY. ONE EMP burst and its a big ass paper weight, with NO degraded capabilities... Battlefield of the future is going to be the little guy behind you with a pointy stick... Basic and reliable, plain and simple...
Don’t forget about DARPA
If possible tank is about back to base
What if it gets hacked?
tank 'computers' are a bit different than our desktops. the tanks uses GPCP 750 single board computers (SBC). each one is purpose built, like one for targeting, monitor display, calculations and non of them depend on an OS. instead engineers wite ungodly amounts of OPCODES and ASM to basically do what an OS (like windows or linux) would for the SBCs. every OS has crap a tank would never need, creating more possible fault points. so instead of letting Windows11 handle running software for everything, they split things up, 1 SBC = 1 Task(like firing guns or whatever).
- there can't be a BSOD unless some engineer adds it as a joke.
11:10 Are you still asking if the tank has a place on the battlefield?
You sure made the most of your time in Tucson, eh?
Nothing wrong with some fungi. 😉
Who is Dan Jones ?
Maximus?
As long as theres boots on the ground the US will always build tanks to support them.
They don’t even need to call it an “Advanced Combat Engine”. The hybrid electric diesel engine is made by Cummins. And if you don’t know, Cummins is that company that makes big industrial diesel engines for tractors, construction vehicles, military vehicles, and other big heavy equipment. And they also make smaller diesel engines for RAM trucks. So just calling it a “Cummins” makes it as less tree-huggy as it gets.
Its just a test and prototype vehicle like the new Rheinmetall Panther.
So no this tank is not the new tank.
The tank is dead since 1918.🤷♂️😅
PS
Half truth Japan, South Korea and French tanks also have autoloader.
But its in the back of the turret behind blast doors and blow out pannels.
you dont truely win a war by air alone. Planes can only do so much in terms of capturing a location. That is done on the ground, Airframes are just the best way to combat Most of the threat however to take it over you would need to have a stron ground presence as well.
Tanks will not really go away completely you need a mobile gun support system for the infantry my uncle in law designed the original M1 Abrams turret and propulsion equipment
What happens when the tank is disabled and now you are a 3 man group instead of 4. I don't know about others but if I was in that situation I would prefer another body to help protect each others meat suits.
American tanks travel in 3 platoons of 4. These companies are typically deployed in groups of 3. So not 3 or 4. It will always be 12-144 not counting the rest of the task force/support.
heres something us marines no longer have tanks weve become lighter and faster the army got all of our tanks so the the marines are out of tanks army only affair but having seen the army work the heavies they can get down so its all good jvg usmc
