Gotta admit, the Aussie camo pattern on those M1's is pretty darn sexxy.
I hate the black. Dark green would have been better
I find it amazing that a video I put on CZcams, just because I didn't have a USB big enough to give a friend a copy, has had over 50k views
It's the M1 tanks in Auscam. Looks amazing
Australia, respect from Finland and God bless 🙂
imagine having a country in the Pacific but her cities engineered just like Europe. Damn, Australia cities is damn clean and well structured. A few miles north, Indonesian cities are complete mess.
Reunite The British Empire what about Singapore and Hong Kong?
@Reunite The British Empire so you say some countries succeed because they have 'friends' who invest in them. Huh? The British empire itself was an empire marked by exploitation and greed. Now we can see London swarmed by people of the former 'empire'. We can it Londonistan. Enjoy you fish n chips. It doesn't taste nice to me.
@@akmalbruhaha4658 Japan's a good example of what a homogeneous country can achieve. But then again their declining population is a big problem over there so they're rooting for more immigrants.
I'd say that cities in Australia are more akin to cities in the US. There about the same age 150~250 years old and downtown's feature similar mix of old colonial architecture with modern sky rises.
@@nathanasio2829 Japan certainly are NOT rooting for immigrants, they accept a handful of highly skilled workers on temporary visas, They're not party to the UNHCR resettlement program . They've accepted less then 100 refugees since 2016, as appose to Australia roughly 6000 per year (12000 in 2012/13 due to the Arab Spring). Japan will remain an ethnically homogeneous country.
I’ve always loved the Aus camo/color pattern.
Love the 2/14th! Worked with them back in the '80's and '90's. Great job fell's!. Great video, thanks for posting.
Personally I would like to see our active personal grow to 100,000 and reserve personal 45,000.
More subs, more helicopters, more fighter aircraft, more main battle tanks, more ships. More special forces
@@KonaCommuter and who might these "enemies" be?
Why would we upsize the army? a better medical system will save more lives than a slightly larger army.
This is an old fashioned wish mate... modern military conflicts between modern nations wont be fought with soldiers and tanks. What we should be investing in is long range firepower in terms of missiles and defenses from such weapons. A huge fleet of UAV strike craft would be really useful too.
you know how much 100,000 active personal army would cost? Australia doesn't have conscripts like Russians and Chinese do and Australian soldiers get paid multiple times more than high ranking officers in Russia or China, 100K army would eat up entire defense budget and than what? instead how about investing in military tech and acquiring proper equipment instead of junk that ADF buys like AWD destroyer, for $10B they could have bought 3x arleigh burke class destroyer with 96X VLSMs on each and ballistic defense activated and could have been used as offensive warship instead of buying defensive so called destroyers, and how about buying Virginia class Nuclear subs instead of some shit that will never work and costs a lot more.
@@najkraemer3117 indonesia right on the door step with 270 million people, vs australias 20 million
Australia has a more imposing military parade every year than Moscow is an odd timeline to live in. But here we are.
The number of vehicles that were present is impressive. I thought they were just gonna send a a dozen or so armoured vehicles just for show but they sure put in a bit of effort here….
Ah it was just 10 of them going round and round the block for an hour :)
kidding :)
@@MrMikel1966 Would’ve been a very small block then 😅😅😅
Last time I saw the Abrams was on a Discovery program(2019), which showed the Re-building process in Lima, Ohio; at the US Armoured Vehicle Facility...the semi -assembled vehicles already had the yellow kangaroo on the bodies and turrets.
I remember the acceptance trials for the Leopards back in the early 70s...I was a driver ( in 2/14 QMI, as it was then).
Fifty years have passed...
I’m now ex Australian army I was in the armour corps for 14 years I love the Abrams best choice we made getting those tanks now we are up grading and doubling the amount of tanks and many other things thanks to anothetn. 348’bilion yo the defence budget
I was here for this! Will remember it for the rest of my life. Need more parades like this one.
M113's with cute little turrets.
I wish we had parades like that here in the US
@malcolm caden we do it's called armed force day.
@@terrain7879 what is Armed Forces day in USA? I Never even heard of it. I have heard of Veterans day. So we have Memorial day but no free food. We got Armed FOrces day but no free stuff. Veterans Day we get the free food, oil changes, haircuts. Interesting. I joined military when I was 17 and now I am 57 and just heard about Armed Forces day and googled it. third Saturday of every May
In 1961, John F. Kennedy declared Armed Forces Day a national holiday. It's celebrated on the third Saturday of every May and is exhibited by exercises, parades, and receptions that highlight and honor our amazing military and all of its strength.
Instead you get Black lives matter protests and riots
Teach your troops proper drill first mate.
It's really rare in Australia that's why it's special this happened. 2/14 LHR have traditionally made up the bulk of the troops based in Brisbane so it's the city honouring them with freedom of the city so they pass down it symbolically. Won't happen again or not at least for a hundred years. ANZAC Day there are parades but you won't see the tanks or ASLAVs involved.
Mike Lloyd - Good on ya mate I was happy to see my black hat brothers exercising their right of passage through any town or city in Australia. I did 13 yrs in the Australian Army spent 1 posting at 1ARMD REGT (Tank) and 1 posting a 2 CAV REGT (Recon) ... Best life I ever had this video of this parade brought back alot of memories for a now old digger ..... Thanks Mate 15M Out
More than welcome Doc, it was a great day
Thank you I really enjoyed it!
2/14 light horse (QMI) great regiment served on an exchange with them in the 80s
My great grandfather Thomas Joseph canny was Australian light horseman in beersheba Palestine with 9th Alh 3rd brigade Palestine 31st oct in.beerasheba
i was here for this and it was a amazing display, and standing so close to a General whilst he was inspecting the Troops was incredible, along with the Superintendent as the Sherriff it was great
60thKRRC General Julius I doubt it was a General, most likely a Brigadier.
friendly neighbourhood platypus
Nah my dude he was a Major General if i remember correctly he was in charge of operations for something(tbh a while i cant remember his whole intro)
60thKRRC General Julius Australia doesn’t have a full General Right now, the highest is a Lieutenant General
Everyone is either asking for an upgrade or complaining about taxes
You try running a sparsely populated desert continent where everyone's either too cooked or focused on what people say to each other to notice that we have alot of people near by that want out shit and defending it is expensive
This comment is too fucking real
Great vid thanks for sharing, I'm kicking myself for missing it

Are pants optional for mounted parades in Australia? Use to love pants down mounted parades haha
Those flatbed m113 are to bring the beer and bbqs..... Ultimate ute
count the woad wheels, M113 has five road wheels, this thing has six road wheels. the body has been stretched.
@@fredpeterson1030 The Austrailian M113AS4 also has an additional road wheel, i assume this is based on that chasis, as well as a lot of other upgrades.
@@fredpeterson1030 All Australian M113s were upgraded to M113AS4 (as @Colin m mentioned) which is a lengthened, re-engined, fully upgraded model. Most are now being put into storage along with the ASLAVS but you still see a few M113AS4s in units for odd jobs.
Omg those M1A1s looks badass! Wish we had this in Sydney!

Impressive parade and equally impressive equipment.
OK, I gotta ask. Are the dusty wheels on the LAVs, the Armoured/Cav Corps equivalent of dirty boots in the Infantry?
umm sure, why not :)
cant wait for the new redbacks
THANK YOU FOR GREAT SHAVE THIS VIDEO THE OTHER AUSTRALIA
Whats the difference between the ASLAV at 2:58 and 3:45? Always noticed that the end half is wider.
Are you being dumb. Genuine question
the last M1 sounds like it has a damage combustion chamber gasket. the high pitched squeal.
That's not possible mate, they're turbine powered
@@JCA-Z i believe Australian Abrams don't use gas turbine
@@Kalashnikov413 they definitely do use gas turbine
One of QRIH sister units.
We had a few NCOs on exchange and vice versa.
I wish we had tanks at the Sydney freedom of entry
So the Boxer IFV's from Germany under the Land 400 project haven't pushed through yet or just weren't included? Watched the entire vid anticipating to see one. hehe
I think they haven't decided what colour to paint them yet
Still working on a camouflage pattern
They are being built as we speak, first ones will role off the belt this year.

I was a crewman in one for 8 years so I know her well
That was actually my first time up close to one. I expected them to be bigger
They just keep coming...
I never thought we had a big parade like this far out how many are there 😂
Just the six. They went round the block for forty minutes before the tanks joined in. :)
Can you only imagine driving one of those M1 Abrams steel beast?
@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ they were probably not experts in using it properly against insurgents.

@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ yeah, good point, but I'm sure the Abrams has tons of other advantages like better protection against kinetic rounds and targeting electronics.

Does anyone know the name of the quick March which begins at 2:34?
"Glorious Victory"
Those flat deck m113 , are they an oz only thing?
You wanna check out the M113AS4, we lengthened them and added more wheels... Kinda the stretch Limo of APC's..... But to your question, we did a lot of modding of the M113 platform for various roles

I my god, M113’s. I haven’t seen them since Vietnam. I can’t believe they still operate these vintage truck.
Brenton Ryan They have been upgraded.
What are the flatbed M113's at 8:14 used for? Just general hauling or something more unique?
Australian forces, due to their size, have to be a bit more self sufficient regarding supply lines, tracked trucks make that possible... We even have an M113 variant which we extended, to carry more ppl
@@MrMikel1966 Also we love utes
@JoyDivision1976 Haha! be a safe way from wild dogs and dingoes.
Needed to carry all the slabs of VB
Good capture. Shame i had to work that day. Would have enjoyed
The Aussie always got the cool badass stuff Thanks for posting. Meanwhile here in New Zealand in our parade we got bren gun carrier and another bren gun carrier and another bren gun carrier!
At least your government didn't waste billions of dollars on just THREE destroyers to protect a landmass the size of America....
Hell. Out our 4th of July parade we get the big Army National Guard tow truck! But you know, that's kinda charming too.
We have over 150 LAV's. And Bren Carriers
The honourable nation New Zealand has the world finest social welfare that laziest people dont need to work and lives happy. You cannot expect much investment over defense!

During this Parade what if another country invaded North Australia, most of our vehicles would be in Melbourne
Except this was in Brisbane :)
@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ True, but it's very unlikely for any military action to occur between us and China. We're too closely allied with US and UK
It would be very difficult for China to actually invade Australia. They would have to fly or sail through/around Indonesia who are hostile to China and friendly with Australia. Our air, land and sea capabilities are smaller but more advanced. Our home turf advantage would be big. This video explains it well

I wish that parade can go on in Spanish fork UTAH!!😢😢😪😭
That Camo is Sexy I’d say it’s better looking then the tan dessert camo
just thinking of the M1A2 Abrams gives me wet dreams
All their tanks are M1A1's by default which I believed were later upgraded.
Nice video!
Thanks, recorded it on my 1st gen Google Pixel phone, held above my head :)
even horses know how to march...
In The Philippines... We only Have a Handful of tanks Not the Tough Ones With Chain Wheels...
Ryan Santos those are not tanks. They're armored fighting vehicles (AFV)...
The M1A2 Abrams looks so sexy! It's more attractive than the other NATO MBT's like the Leopard 2, Challenger 2 and the Leclerc.
Joseph Satri Cleofe Villanueva I think the sharp edges of the Leopard 2A6 are better looking, but that's just me.
Just a note, those aren’t M1A2s.
Gameknight yep M1A1 US don’t sell there current tanks to foreign buyers like Australia and Saudi Arabia
The M1A2 Abrams has a jet engine as its power source. Has a Honeywell AGT 1500 gas turbine engine.
bruh its got a number plate
they get pulled over get a fine but the government is fining themselves
They fine the driver not the vehicle. Bruh.
@@orangejuicepony6881 it's owned by the military the driver doesn't own the vehicle💀
GTA 5 be like in the old days with the rhino tank in the city 😂😂
Ok, being that they can do it, I guessing anyone that has a tracked truck, tank, Armour truck. they can drive it on the road too. if the tracks have the rubber on them.
Yeah we are allowed to as long as they arent able to fire we can own tanks, Hell we gave away like 50 leopard tanks about 15 years ago
They were all equipped with rubber road tracks but you'll notice the tanks didn't follow the rest, they were not allowed to turn, they could only drive straight, or they would have gouged the road up
Mike Lloyd I remember a video of a Soviet T-34 on a parade that tried turning on the spot on a brick pavement, absolutely tore up the pavement and shattered some bricks in the tracks.
@Wayne Haile They we're just given away to the public in 2007 or 8. I think anyone was able to get one, you just had to have a valid reason. So in the end i think most of them went to RSL and museums.
😆😆😆 Those M113 - utes...very OZ !!! Need to have BBQ grills at the back for our troops !!! I 😆😆😆
Plenty of room to load on eskies full of tinnies!
what kind of M113 are they with half of the armour missing?
Mortar carriers. Great for indirect fire artillery supoort.
Don't you know, aussies turn everything into a flat deck ute haha
Matthew Elvins it’s to put on cages for equipment that can be dropped off fast etc
@@snapdragon9300 no not mortar carriers, that's the Armoured Logistics Vehicle (aka the 'Ute'), which replaced the old M548A1 Tracked Cargo Carriers

Hundredth anniversary of the battle of Beersheba, fought by the second fourteenth
@@MrMikel1966 actually, the 2nd/14th did not participate in the Battle, of Berrsheeba, especially since at the time it was not a single regiment. The 2nd/14th Light Horse was the amalgamation of two WW1 Light Horse Regiments, the 2nd and the 14th, and neither fought at Beersheba. The 2nd fought at nearby Tel el Saba, and this was part of the greater battle for Gaza-Beersheba for which a single battle honour was awarded.
As for the attack on and capture of Beersheba, that was the 4th and 12th Light Horse Regiments, with the 11th in support and who later reinforced Beersheba after the town was captured.
@@brucelamberton8819 Thanks Bruce, you've got me interested on reading up on it now. I was only going by what it was advertised as :)

As usual
Probably got a card school running waiting to move forward.

Good parade in a tight route.
Aussie light regiments have heavy tanks? Cool!
Aussie soldiers did a lot of fighting in WW1 and 2. Also other than the South Koreans they were the only country that sent troops and tanks to fight the communists in Vietnam. I have great respect for them.
You wanna see our heavy regiments
It's not a heavy tank per se!
Thats WWII naming methods!
It's an MBT (Main Battle Tank)!
Depending on the nation, budget, and fighting ideologies, light regiments may have a few MBTs for fire support if necessary, or disregard the old 'Light' in the regiment name, and have a large number of MBTs in the corp!
@@MuhmmedNadeem-cy2tj I mean, the Abrams does weigh more then nearly all produced heavy tanks haha.
Sad thing is Australia only has 59 Abrams total for the whole country. Being an island nation tanks haven't been our priority.
Is that the Canadian built LAV ?
Yep, built by General Dynamics Land Systems, Canada
Ok. I thought thats what they were. Our noisy neighbours to the south use them too. Good to know Canada isn't just a bunch of yahoos playing hockey !!
Yeah ASLAV’S
No they're an Australian design and build.
Only Aslavs are australian. based on an overseas design called the Lav (light armoured vehicle) vs aslav (australian special light armoured vehicle)
Feel sorry for the guy in the lead LAV, wearing pollies... so much pain getting them clean again..
Benjamin Gillies id throw them out after thst
In todays army he will have pay to for new set of polys .... what a joke
Are those brand new A1's or old one's? Man I miss my tank!
Keith Goslin Those my good sir are the Australian Army’s M1A1 AIMS, they’re similar to what the USMC had with a few minor differences including a different armor composition that removed any DU from the composite. They also appear to be missing their CITVs as well.
@Malcolm Caden Yes, my comment was made before that was announced earlier this year lol, ya'll are getting SEP 3s with your own armor package and a few minor changes for your climate requirements and such.

May I ask the frequency and occasions for such parades? Would love to drop by for a look. Thanks.
Not very often, unfortunately

How many APC did they have
They have 144 AS-LAV's, the Australian modified LAV-25
about 450 APCs, in the form of the M113AS4.
Am just said about the military vehicle is from u.s.
the M1's are US built and the LAV's are Canadian built
@@MrMikel1966 yes,i get it
@WarriorCrimson I wish they were, but they were build by GM Diesel in Canada with final fit out being done in Australia by Tenix Defence. Some will tell you they were built by General Dynamics Land Systems, but GDLS didn't purchase the manufacturing plant until 2003, six years after Australia had taken delivery.... But they're about to be replaced by the Boxer from 2020.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASLAV
@WarriorCrimson agreed
WarriorCrimson ...Built in Adelaide
Hope you aussies understand the mind numbing hours spent on those vehicles just to get them ready for the dog and pony show. All the layouts , cleaning , maintenance hours just for a parade . Those guys would rather be in the field than that definitely rather be drinking a beer. And after that hours of putting all that crap back before they can call it a day.
Mate, try standing at attention for two hours on ANZAC Day in front of some town hall while all the local councilors give speeches. You Cav bastards have it easy.
I'm guessing the tanks are parked there because they would absolutely annihilate that corner.
On the original cut I did actually ask that of the tank driver that gives the thumbs up.... and we were both correct, even with road tread they'd still dig a trench if they cornered :)
That and the exhaust would cook people.
The m1a1/2 is one of the heaviest if not heaviest tank in active combat today at around 72 tons give or take combat weight.
They do solders first like the Chinese did then armored veichles and tanks
Tankbit 1 no because we are not commies and China is the enemy
I wish we sold Australia to good M1 Abrams with the best armor those are export models with not the depleted uranium armor that the US army has
Not really worth the weight increase just to have a small chance to stop a 120mm DU round (if it doesn't hit any of the many weakspots)
Id rather have increased maneuverability or just go with a leopard2a7+
Pretty sure we use our own upgrades & armour packages. We got plenty of uranium lying around in the outback. 😂
I believe it is another way around, Australians do not want to have M1A1 with the depleted uranium armor, due to their policies
🤣
WEIRD FLEX BUT OK

Just 1 H Bom and everything is gone in less than 1 second.
There is currently only one country in the world that would use their nuclear weapons in anything but a last ditch defensive posture. All other countries that have them realize that they're best used as a threat.... The next war will be financial with some strategic elements purely to gain resources.
And whatever country launched the H bomb would be gone the next second by an H bomb from another country.

DEMOCRACY
Sweet American armor. ;D
As an Aussie I respect the Americans armourment, as the Abrams are truly something else.
With a German designed main gun.
@@fuzzylogic8573While it's true that the gun is shared with Germany, that's the only thing they share - a main gun. The M1A2 Abrams variant succeeds above all other tanks in doing it's job. Now you'll ask me why? Why is it better than the German Leopard II when the Leopard II has the same gun?
The Leopard II was made assumptions that it's the finest tank. However, that reputation for nigh-invincibility has faced setbacks on Syrian battlefields.
And from what we've seen it's easily concluded that even the MA1A can sometimes perform the job better than the Leopard in rough terrain.
But back to the original question. The answer is because America improved the M1A1 into M1AHA and then into MA2A. It's protection is not better, but vastly superior to all other main battle tanks. The M1A2 has depleted uranium plate inside it's mesh-reinforced composite armor. At this point the Abram armor has evolved so strong that it tops every other tank in defense & protection. It is virtually impossible for another tank to penetrate the front/hull of the M1A2.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the round most used for the gun is the depleted-uranium sabot round, nicknamed the “silver bullet”, and it is this round that allows the Abrams to rip almost any kind of armor. Germany cannot afford itself to use this silver bullet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M829.
@@fuzzylogic8573 And lastly, to ensure information security, all IVIS data transmissions are routed through the M1A2's SINCGARS radio system. Improving on the "hunter-killer" tank commander-gunner target hand off method pioneered on the German Leopard II, the M1A2 takes this a step further by providing the Tank Commander with an independent thermal sight. This CITV sight allows the commander to independently scan for targets in all weather conditions and through battlefield obscurants. In addition to IVIS and the CITV, the M1A2 incorporates a number of additional electronic upgrades. Power distribution throughout the tank has been improved, relying on multiple bus paths so that in the event one conduit is damaged, power may still be delivered to a component via an alternate path. The driver's instrument display has been upgraded to a more detailed digital display and the Gunner's Primary Sight has been stabilized in two axes for increased accuracy.
I'm at ease saying American armor is really the best. But not the exported one, the one designed for the United States. ;D
And I hope they will continue in this quest of theirs manufacturing the ultimate hunter-killer tank for the sake of protecting our national interests. ;D
@@xfantasiax3903 I never doubted that the tank is probably the finest battle tank in the world , just pointing out the main gun is German designed which is no biggie because the company that designed it is a world class weapons manufacturer which is why the Australian government is buying 400 boxer's from them.
Are they u.s military vehicles on the parade?
No, Australian owned
@@MrMikel1966 oh well,okay I just need to know,thank you
@@chucky4491 since most of our overseas activity involves working alongside US forces, having the same equipment was an obvious choice, when we replaced our older Leopard tanks etc etc :)
I think its awesome that the Aussies bought the Abrams, I bet they do too!
Excellent tank but not convinced it's the best option for Australia, as they employ different tactics due to military size and $$$ strength
Yes they do too
they're thinking about upgrading them since these A1's are from the 80's and don't have depleted uranium armour but Aussie tanks haven't gone anywhere since the 60's so it doesn't matter.
Cat [TROLL] LOL!!! I’m ex Australian army armoured corps I drove a tank there very very up to date and also we use DU ammo in 120mm 20mm 25mm 30mm and so on we just don’t test it due to it been dangerous in war how ever it gets used also the new upgrades and all the new A2 tanks we have and getting are DU armour so fuck off idiot.
Lenard Malcolm you do realise... the M1A1 AIM SA does NOT have depleted uranium armour so keep your salt to yourself
