Just a little clarification, the 90 km/h announced is just to correspond to French law for vehicles over 20 tonnes and to be able to drive on the road and motorway network. In "combat mode" the vehicle exceeds 120 km/h. Just a button to push to switch it from "peacetime mode" to "war mode".

The French bashing continues, and this is because of a French minister who refused to follow the USA against Iraq on February 14, 2003. and he was entirely right because the evidence given by the bush hawks was false.

The bashing of the French started way before 2003. The bashing of France by almost all of the West started in 1966 after France decided to leave NATO. The French argue that Europe was getting way too dependent on US help after WW2, and there was too much American influence in Europe. The irony is that the Americans literally helped Europe be free in not one World War, but 2 World Wars. It diffinately rubbed the Americans the wrong way after the Americans committed so much in helping France be free from Germany, twice. Ever since then, America has literally told France to stay at the little boys' table at almost all NATO conventions because the French are the only nation to leave NATO. Edit - All major European powers have had a European head of European command of NATO, except for the French.

@@nedkelly9688LOL. You wish it was aussie. Its literally made by Thales, but without the added expertise from Nexter and Renault. Strictly inferior product intended for export
@@Jugement was designed and engineered by a Irish company a South African and the Australian Perry Engineering and then Australian Government owned company ADI Australian Defence Industry bought the intellectual rights to the design and started building it. then Australia government sold the company ADI to a Australian company 50% and Thales 50% and eventually the Australian company sold it's share to Thales. Thales Australia still has to obey Australian secrecy laws of any Australian invented technology if developed in Australia. why some Australian Thales tech is not even sold to French lol. Know the truth or be quiet. Everyone at Thales Australia is Australian probably barely any French there at all. Especially in the R&D facility.. you know research and development. Also Thales Australia CEO is Australian Jeff Connolly i think before him was Chris Jenkins. yes not even French CEO'S lol. See Australia has CSIRO and DSTO. these are Australian defence and civilian Government organisations to invent Australia military and civilian inventions. once invented they call out Defence companies in Australia to build them these. Even though are owned sometimes by Foreign countries they are not invented by these companies. why American and UK and French companies in Australia don't make or sell from their home countries some tech. Boeing MQ28A Ghost Bat most advanced AI drone is proof of this as is not a American made drone. was designed and engineered by Australian's at Boeing Australia. Head designer of it is Australian. engineer was Australian. Head designer actually works as a lead designer at famous Boeing Phantomworks also So not everything is from the country the company is owned by lol. I worked at a multinational company in Australia owned by a foreign company. wasn't in Defence but if i invented something while worked that it was intellectual property owned by the company. i signed a contract for this. So no not everything at Thales Australia is French barely nothing is except French get the money from it. In February 1994, the draft specification for the IMV was released, followed in July by the invitation to register interest, with 17 proposals received including by Australian company Perry Engineering with the Bushmaster, and by Australian Specialised Vehicle Systems with the Taipan, derived from the South African Mamba.[6][7] In September 1995, the request for tender was issued to five shortlisted proposals.[6][7] In early 1996, Perry Engineering produced a prototype Bushmaster, based on an Irish designed Timoney Technologies MP44, including the Rockwell/Timoney independent suspension, and with US company Stewart & Stevenson components from the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV).[8][9][10] Over 65% of the components by Stewart & Stevenson were from the FMTV including engine, transmission, steering, instrumentation, electrical and pneumatic systems.[7] The prototype was built in less than seven months.[11] In September 1996, the Australian government-owned company Australian Defence Industries (ADI) purchased the intellectual property rights from Boral's Perry Engineering with agreement from Timoney Technologies and Stewart & Stevenson.[6][12] A Bushmaster prototype at Perry Engineering in Adelaide in the late 1990s By January 1997, following the withdrawal of other bids, the Bushmaster and Taipan remained the only contenders for the project.[6][7] That November, ADI launched its re-engineered Bushmaster proposal changing the design and shape of the hull to withstand a greater force and associated internal and external features.[13][14] In March 1998, three Bushmaster IMVs and three Taipan IMVs built in South Africa started a 44-week competitive evaluation trial.[7][15] Neither vehicle fully met all of the requirements of the specification, and performed with varying success over the course of the trials.[6] In March 1999, ADI was awarded the Bushranger contract to produce the Bushmaster at their Bendigo facility.[7][14] In November 1999, ADI was privatised becoming 50% owned by French company Thales and 50% owned by Australian company Transfield. In 2006, Thales acquired the remaining 50% of ADI and renamed the company to Thales Australia.[16] In October 2016 it was announced that Australia and Indonesia would jointly develop a vehicle based on the Bushmaster for use by the Indonesian military.[17] The vehicle, known as the Sanca, is manufactured by Pindad in collaboration with Thales.[18]
Another fun fact, the Gryphon has direct electronical link with planes such as ghe Rafale F4 or Tiger helicopters and any other ground troop on the ground. This means it is tracked in real time and can designate a target's position in realtime.
yup , it is called the Scorpion program which the Belgian army will also have. In fact they are already training this way of communications and fighting training on FTX like Celtic Uprise (interoperability on company level with the French. so that a BE company will be able to replace a FR campany and later even on batalion level)
When is a civilian version of this going to be available? I'm getting bored with my Humvee. I just need something to get groceries with. My wife would like a roof turret but, between you and me, it's not a must-have. (She can be pretty hostile to other drivers.)
As an European (Dutch) I am so happy France and Germany continue to develop state of the art weapons. Most of the smaller European countries as totally dependent on these countries in case e.g. Russia would attack us and in case the United States is fed up spending tax money on defending foreign countries. (Many NATO country don't spend enough on their defense as per the NATO rules)
your really do not understand how the world is working. the USA don't spend anything. Their whole economic system is build on war, and nothing is free from them.
They produce their own stuff and encourage other European countries to buy from them, not because of Russia. But to be independent from the USA. It's getting more to the point in this day and age that Europeans need to start thinking for and about themselves.

Yes, this is unfortunately often the case. People who know nothing, but are here to express a certain bitterness or jealousy (this is often the case for certain American commentators who do not admit that others are better than them).
There is not so many critices, I think some jokes. Looks like à lot find Griffon great wait when they see Jaguar and future VBL and Serval they will better understand everything is clever. Also I have NEVER heard any true U.S soldier insulting us or moking the frenchs army and navy. The fact is that we are just "microsopiques" compare to U.S but we try to do our best with small budget. But FR still some of best soldiers. US are X times less selfish than Gaz-snifers.
Certified to drive this piece of junk and calling what it is. It was put out full of bugs and bad systems because of poor design. French arrogance does not justify giving soldiers faulty systems that fail when they need them.

Correct : The old Mephisto VAB, equipped with 4 ATGM named "HOT" (4250m range) ready to use, will not be replaced by a Griffon variant. But the Jaguar - an other armored vehicle of the Sorpion program (a scout/reconnaissance light tank), is equipped with 2 modern MMP missile ready to use.

Question, I seem to be hearing a lot about tanks APC’s etc having remotely operated MG/Grenade turrets with optical sights, but surely a deliberate attack on the sighting system would render the turrets useless, could someone explain to me (because I know nothing about this subject) how or if this seeming weakness is overcome?. Nonetheless this is a very interesting and informative video, thanks for sharing it with us all. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 I have to wonder 💭 why it is that governments can (usually) find money to spend on defence (and offence) capabilities whilst the general public are trying to make ends meet because of government ineptitude and lack of understanding of what the people are going through, the pandemic followed closely by a worldwide recession followed by Putin invading Ukraine, the war in Israel/Palestine/Gaza and the Chinese 🇨🇳 sabre rattling about the South China Sea and Taiwan 🇹🇼 is causing untold uncertainty about the world geopolitical and geoeconomics situation that it is causing so many people to slide into poverty, but the governments are still spending money on defence that could have been better spent on civil needs. WHY?.
for the first question : it's very hard to shoot such a small target from far away. for the second one : that's called sovereignety. If you are defenceless, then you cannot portect your territory, your interests and your citizens. It's easy to say let's delete all armies and war, but completely utopic unfortunately. Also, the money spent on military developement usually brings a lot of benefits for the economy, employment and technological developement in general. All that for spending that aren't that huge (2% of the GDP for France, and as I said, a lot of it isn't lost money).

Griffon has more horsepower, more combat proven (France are fighting in Africa and other UN missions, Australian barely), more wheels, more protection. Another question ?
Do you mean VBCI? And if so, then not really. VBCI is an IFV (infantry fighting vehicle), while the griffon is an APC. That means that the VBCI is is made for active fighting, and supporting infantry once on the ground, while the griffon is mainly a transport vehicle, with some anti-infantry capacities, but you don't want to put it directly at the front as it doesn't have that much armour and firepower. If I remember correctly the VBCI also has a new modernized version being studied to update the current one in use.
OUI. Yes sûre it is very new. BUT look at something called "VBCI" 8x8 resists IED IRL loss 1 transmission went back camp in afga. And 6 hours later was back repaired 2 Light injured. We donnot have doyens of différents styles. We MUST succeed and not so richs..

Anything that happens on the battlefield”? I don’t recall it mentioning anti-tank mines, kamikaze drones or any anti-tank missiles like Javelin, Tone and armour piercing 155 mm shell?
It is mine resistant up to the STANAG and OTAN standards. No active protection systems are actually deployed on them to deal with ATGM, but it has been developed with the idea of being able to be retrofitted with such systems. As for « armor piercing 155mm » I think you have to stop with the drugs. 155mm is in the realm of artillery. They don’t use armor piercing, only HE and their derivatives. As mentioned in the video, it is resistant to all but direct hits from those, but a direct hit, especially considering the relative accuracy of the Russian artillery as well as the mobility of the vehicle itself, and considering French troops are mainly deployed in territories with terrorists that aren’t even close to having artillery systems precise enough to target moving vehicles, the Griffon is pretty well equipped. But if you wanted to mention how it could resist tank rounds, then no, it can’t. But nothing can withstand tank rounds, not even tank. If a Griffon ends up facing such vehicle, then someone really messed up. This thing is not made to be anywhere close to firing distance of an enemy tank. As for anti drone duties, most Griffon are equipped with a teleoperated 12.7 roof mounted machine gun that can lock and track targets, so if it manages to detect the drone, or if a radar station somewhere close detects it and transmit the exact location through the SCORPION communication network, then the Griffon can potentially deal with them.
Not a mistake. The problem with sloped armor is it vastly decreases the internal space available, and this thing needs to carry a large squad and all the supplies they need. And you can't make the vehicle any bigger.. taller and it's a massive target / can't fit under obstacles, wider and it's not air or train transportable.
The vehicle has kits, the armor sides are designed to place the kits on the surface. A plane surface is more practical. The kits surfaces are slopes. Check pictures of Griffon deployed in Mali to see the sloped armor plates.
3:28 Why specify Paris, France? Everyone knows the iconic city (unless you're from dumbsville USA), and any other variant like Paris, Texas, should naturally indicate a different location. The original Paris, by its very nature, doesn't require additional clarification-as it's the quintessential Paris.
Who do the French fight, every battle they get into they retreat or give up. Usually in that order, they don't want to offend anyone. Especially their enemies. Now thats funny 🎉🎉🎉
Most likely they've already fought your country. And most likely your country has lost. Most likely your country has already lost against the French, and not once, nor twice, but certainly more times. 😅 You're just butthurt.

Just because it's tall for IED and mine protection doesn't mean its bad at high intensity, if you think it's maybe a bit small or look "air transportable" remember he French military is an expeditionary force, with a homegrown survivable nuclear deterrent, so the defense of mainland France isn't much of a concern its design to fight abroad there is a great analysis of the French military on perun's channel, highly recommended if you like in depth stuff, also one on Japan Germany Turkey Poland and many others on top of other content on military conflict and warfare, the guy is brilliant
Highly impressive vehicle. They should send some of them to Ukraine to 1) help to fight tyranny and warmongery and 2) test their efficiency under realistic conditions.
I agree, though for "testing their efficiency under realistic conditions", considering the french armed forces are currently conducting a dozen military operations around the world, it's not really needed; Though most don't feature high intensity combat, of course. i'll just put that part on the usual ignorance/caricatural nonsense views on the french military.
@@canicheenrage I think the "high intensity warfare test" is implied here... It also has a high visibility impact there, wich is not to minimise. Before the Ukrainian war, the Caesar was an okay success but nothing extraordinary. Then we sent a dozen of them there, + some 8×8 version, an now despite more than doubling its production capacities, Nexter has trouble dealing with the influx of proposed contracts with foreign nations. Sending some of our latest vehicles there, especially since they've been conceived to handle mass scale production, would be an excellent contributor to its commercial success, even if we need to send "dumbed down" versions to avoid compromision risks of our latest information sharing technologies
I see your point , but our goverment will more likely send VAB not griffon , they are super expensive and lets be honest we are not really in a good time in France rn and it's hard to send something like a griffon wich cost a little fortune , the VAB is still a really good APC, the Ukrainians showed it, they have some that they use very well, i'd love to see more of our military stuff send to ukraine (like more Ceasar, scalp and amx) but with what we have as head of state it's pretty hard...
@@downeedles9249 Isnt the Griffon being a wheeled tank cheaper than average tanks and built to easily be mass produced? Of course France (or other western countries) being limited due to economic troubles is underdtandable, I think sending at least some to test them is very important. What if they have a crucial weakness that has not been discovered yet? Or if there is a way to improve on them by adjusting or additing a little extra?
Just a little clarification, the 90 km/h announced is just to correspond to French law for vehicles over 20 tonnes and to be able to drive on the road and motorway network.
In "combat mode" the vehicle exceeds 120 km/h.
Just a button to push to switch it from "peacetime mode" to "war mode".

@@nedkelly9688LOL. You wish it was aussie. Its literally made by Thales, but without the added expertise from Nexter and Renault. Strictly inferior product intended for export
@@Jugement was designed and engineered by a Irish company a South African and the Australian Perry Engineering and then Australian Government owned company ADI Australian Defence Industry bought the intellectual rights to the design and started building it. then Australia government sold the company ADI to a Australian company 50% and Thales 50% and eventually the Australian company sold it's share to Thales.
Thales Australia still has to obey Australian secrecy laws of any Australian invented technology if developed in Australia. why some Australian Thales tech is not even sold to French lol.
Know the truth or be quiet.
Everyone at Thales Australia is Australian probably barely any French there at all.
Especially in the R&D facility.. you know research and development.
Also Thales Australia CEO is Australian Jeff Connolly i think before him was Chris Jenkins. yes not even French CEO'S lol.
See Australia has CSIRO and DSTO. these are Australian defence and civilian Government organisations to invent Australia military and civilian inventions. once invented they call out Defence companies in Australia to build them these.
Even though are owned sometimes by Foreign countries they are not invented by these companies. why American and UK and French companies in Australia don't make or sell from their home countries some tech.
Boeing MQ28A Ghost Bat most advanced AI drone is proof of this as is not a American made drone. was designed and engineered by Australian's at Boeing Australia. Head designer of it is Australian. engineer was Australian.
Head designer actually works as a lead designer at famous Boeing Phantomworks also
So not everything is from the country the company is owned by lol.
I worked at a multinational company in Australia owned by a foreign company. wasn't in Defence but if i invented something while worked that it was intellectual property owned by the company. i signed a contract for this.
So no not everything at Thales Australia is French barely nothing is except French get the money from it.
In February 1994, the draft specification for the IMV was released, followed in July by the invitation to register interest, with 17 proposals received including by Australian company Perry Engineering with the Bushmaster, and by Australian Specialised Vehicle Systems with the Taipan, derived from the South African Mamba.[6][7] In September 1995, the request for tender was issued to five shortlisted proposals.[6][7]
In early 1996, Perry Engineering produced a prototype Bushmaster, based on an Irish designed Timoney Technologies MP44, including the Rockwell/Timoney independent suspension, and with US company Stewart & Stevenson components from the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV).[8][9][10] Over 65% of the components by Stewart & Stevenson were from the FMTV including engine, transmission, steering, instrumentation, electrical and pneumatic systems.[7] The prototype was built in less than seven months.[11]
In September 1996, the Australian government-owned company Australian Defence Industries (ADI) purchased the intellectual property rights from Boral's Perry Engineering with agreement from Timoney Technologies and Stewart & Stevenson.[6][12]
A Bushmaster prototype at Perry Engineering in Adelaide in the late 1990s
By January 1997, following the withdrawal of other bids, the Bushmaster and Taipan remained the only contenders for the project.[6][7] That November, ADI launched its re-engineered Bushmaster proposal changing the design and shape of the hull to withstand a greater force and associated internal and external features.[13][14] In March 1998, three Bushmaster IMVs and three Taipan IMVs built in South Africa started a 44-week competitive evaluation trial.[7][15] Neither vehicle fully met all of the requirements of the specification, and performed with varying success over the course of the trials.[6]
In March 1999, ADI was awarded the Bushranger contract to produce the Bushmaster at their Bendigo facility.[7][14] In November 1999, ADI was privatised becoming 50% owned by French company Thales and 50% owned by Australian company Transfield. In 2006, Thales acquired the remaining 50% of ADI and renamed the company to Thales Australia.[16]
In October 2016 it was announced that Australia and Indonesia would jointly develop a vehicle based on the Bushmaster for use by the Indonesian military.[17] The vehicle, known as the Sanca, is manufactured by Pindad in collaboration with Thales.[18]
Another fun fact, the Gryphon has direct electronical link with planes such as ghe Rafale F4 or Tiger helicopters and any other ground troop on the ground.
This means it is tracked in real time and can designate a target's position in realtime.
yup , it is called the Scorpion program which the Belgian army will also have. In fact they are already training this way of communications and fighting training on FTX like Celtic Uprise (interoperability on company level with the French. so that a BE company will be able to replace a FR campany and later even on batalion level)

I suppose any boxy shape is a bushmaster to you.
Question, I seem to be hearing a lot about tanks APC’s etc having remotely operated MG/Grenade turrets with optical sights, but surely a deliberate attack on the sighting system would render the turrets useless, could someone explain to me (because I know nothing about this subject) how or if this seeming weakness is overcome?. Nonetheless this is a very interesting and informative video, thanks for sharing it with us all. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱
I have to wonder 💭 why it is that governments can (usually) find money to spend on defence (and offence) capabilities whilst the general public are trying to make ends meet because of government ineptitude and lack of understanding of what the people are going through, the pandemic followed closely by a worldwide recession followed by Putin invading Ukraine, the war in Israel/Palestine/Gaza and the Chinese 🇨🇳 sabre rattling about the South China Sea and Taiwan 🇹🇼 is causing untold uncertainty about the world geopolitical and geoeconomics situation that it is causing so many people to slide into poverty, but the governments are still spending money on defence that could have been better spent on civil needs. WHY?.
for the first question : it's very hard to shoot such a small target from far away.
for the second one : that's called sovereignety. If you are defenceless, then you cannot portect your territory, your interests and your citizens. It's easy to say let's delete all armies and war, but completely utopic unfortunately. Also, the money spent on military developement usually brings a lot of benefits for the economy, employment and technological developement in general. All that for spending that aren't that huge (2% of the GDP for France, and as I said, a lot of it isn't lost money).

Anything that happens on the battlefield”? I don’t recall it mentioning anti-tank mines, kamikaze drones or any anti-tank missiles like Javelin, Tone and armour piercing 155 mm shell?
It is mine resistant up to the STANAG and OTAN standards. No active protection systems are actually deployed on them to deal with ATGM, but it has been developed with the idea of being able to be retrofitted with such systems. As for « armor piercing 155mm » I think you have to stop with the drugs. 155mm is in the realm of artillery. They don’t use armor piercing, only HE and their derivatives. As mentioned in the video, it is resistant to all but direct hits from those, but a direct hit, especially considering the relative accuracy of the Russian artillery as well as the mobility of the vehicle itself, and considering French troops are mainly deployed in territories with terrorists that aren’t even close to having artillery systems precise enough to target moving vehicles, the Griffon is pretty well equipped. But if you wanted to mention how it could resist tank rounds, then no, it can’t. But nothing can withstand tank rounds, not even tank. If a Griffon ends up facing such vehicle, then someone really messed up. This thing is not made to be anywhere close to firing distance of an enemy tank.
As for anti drone duties, most Griffon are equipped with a teleoperated 12.7 roof mounted machine gun that can lock and track targets, so if it manages to detect the drone, or if a radar station somewhere close detects it and transmit the exact location through the SCORPION communication network, then the Griffon can potentially deal with them.

You see how useless engineers are... Why are the sides armor plates not sloped but straight? Historic lessons not taken into account?
Not a mistake. The problem with sloped armor is it vastly decreases the internal space available, and this thing needs to carry a large squad and all the supplies they need.
And you can't make the vehicle any bigger.. taller and it's a massive target / can't fit under obstacles, wider and it's not air or train transportable.
Modern shells don't care about armor...
1- this is not a breakthrough vehicle this is a APC
2-sloppe Armor would make the vehicule bigger
The vehicle has kits, the armor sides are designed to place the kits on the surface. A plane surface is more practical. The kits surfaces are slopes. Check pictures of Griffon deployed in Mali to see the sloped armor plates.

Just because it's tall for IED and mine protection doesn't mean its bad at high intensity, if you think it's maybe a bit small or look "air transportable" remember he French military is an expeditionary force, with a homegrown survivable nuclear deterrent, so the defense of mainland France isn't much of a concern its design to fight abroad
there is a great analysis of the French military on perun's channel, highly recommended if you like in depth stuff, also one on Japan Germany Turkey Poland and many others on top of other content on military conflict and warfare, the guy is brilliant
Highly impressive vehicle. They should send some of them to Ukraine to 1) help to fight tyranny and warmongery and 2) test their efficiency under realistic conditions.
I agree, though for "testing their efficiency under realistic conditions", considering the french armed forces are currently conducting a dozen military operations around the world, it's not really needed; Though most don't feature high intensity combat, of course.
i'll just put that part on the usual ignorance/caricatural nonsense views on the french military.

I think the "high intensity warfare test" is implied here...
It also has a high visibility impact there, wich is not to minimise.
Before the Ukrainian war, the Caesar was an okay success but nothing extraordinary.
Then we sent a dozen of them there, + some 8×8 version, an now despite more than doubling its production capacities, Nexter has trouble dealing with the influx of proposed contracts with foreign nations.
Sending some of our latest vehicles there, especially since they've been conceived to handle mass scale production, would be an excellent contributor to its commercial success, even if we need to send "dumbed down" versions to avoid compromision risks of our latest information sharing technologies
I see your point , but our goverment will more likely send VAB not griffon , they are super expensive and lets be honest we are not really in a good time in France rn and it's hard to send something like a griffon wich cost a little fortune , the VAB is still a really good APC, the Ukrainians showed it, they have some that they use very well, i'd love to see more of our military stuff send to ukraine (like more Ceasar, scalp and amx) but with what we have as head of state it's pretty hard...
@@downeedles9249 Isnt the Griffon being a wheeled tank cheaper than average tanks and built to easily be mass produced? Of course France (or other western countries) being limited due to economic troubles is underdtandable, I think sending at least some to test them is very important. What if they have a crucial weakness that has not been discovered yet? Or if there is a way to improve on them by adjusting or additing a little extra?
One RPG and all those features go kabooom. What a waste.
Only 2 kilometers per gallon WOW
They were talking litres, not gallons. Pay attention.
With heavy vehicles like this the rate is flipped. It's not miles/gallon, it's gallons/mile. A 1:1 ratio is pretty good. Tanks are much worse.
@@johnsmithe4656 -- it comes out to about five miles per gallon if you use USA gallons.
We use real units here, no stupid queen elisabeth shit
More false information.
The same information twice....this is getting boring...we get it...400 hp 800km range..90 K per hour...
