    If I told you that a Brazilian tank outperformed the world famous Abrams you’d probably write a long winded post calling me insane in the comments. Contrary to what you may think though, in 1987 this is exactly what occurred in Saudi Arabia. This is the story of the Osorio, Brazil's only domestic main battle tank.

      @@Dianasaurthemelonlord7777 so those engineers were going to magic up armor that took multi-billion dollar conglomerates decades to develop? Please. The only tank to ever destroy an M1 Abrams is another M1 Abrams, and that was a mission kill, not a total wreck. The "M1s" you see fielded by other countries are export versions without the full armor package standard on US models. There's a reason why the Gulf War was one of the most one sided curbstomps in military history. The M1's main gun could go through any Iraqi tank the long ways even through entrenchments while the Iraqi tank guns created interesting smears on the armored hull of the Abrams. Simply put, the MBT main gun that can punch through the armor of an M1... does not exist.

      Good point - a good gun without sufficient protection is a waste of armor and more importantly servicemen. The M1A1 has Chobham armor (I believe later variants add a layer of depleted unranium), which, whie not bulletproof, is close. IEDs do their damage typically on the thin-skin underbelly and mechanics.

    Hey Cone, just a quick correction. In the beggining of the video, u said that the Osório is the only domestic MBT produced by Brazil, but that's not correct.
    We had another MBT, it was called MB-3 Tamoyo, and was produced by Bernardini, another private enterprise just like Engesa. Bernardini worked on upgrading the old brazilian tanks, such as the M3 Stuart (which became the X1 variants) and the M41 (which became the M41C).
    The story of Bernardini is a very interesting one, and I realy recomend u doing a video on it, people would surelly apreciate. And, if you do consider this idea, you can count with my help.
    Love your content m8

    • @ConeOfArc
      @ConeOfArc  Před 3 lety +108

      The reason I said it's the best not domestic MBT is because the MB-3 isn't domestically produced it was an upgrade to a tank built by another nation. Brazil did design the upgrade but they didn't design the vehicle. The Osorio was built from the ground up so I consider it a domestic design.

    • @leonardotunin1521
      @leonardotunin1521 Před 3 lety +42

      @@ConeOfArc omg you did answer, i'm pretty happy with it.
      Yeah, indeed, the MB-3 was based on the M41, althought the inspiration draws more on the M41C i've mentioned, which is VERY modified. Nonetheless, it's still based in an foreign vehicle. I undestand your point, and i agree with u.
      The thing i think is realy interesting about the Tamoyo (the Tamoyos I and II, to be precise) is that the tanks had mainly national components, unlike the Osório. Also, the main focus of Bernardini was selling it to the Brazilian Army, unlike Engesa with the Osório.
      Still, Bernardini made some realy incredible things with the old tanks our army used during the 60s and 70s, some of them are very interesting (for example, this is what they've done with the M3 Stuart "Off The Mark: US Revamp: X1A2" otm-uswot.blogspot.com/2018/03/x1a2.html?m=1 )

    This is a very revealing video about a head to head test competition. However, as other posters have mentioned, the decision to purchase an MBT is quite different than buying a single, well performing model. Logistics, reliability, track record, resupply, expected upgrades and yes, even geopolitics enter into the equation. I appreciate the engineering accomplishment that the Osorio represents, and that’s an important piece of the puzzle…but only one piece. Thanks for the vid!

      You forgot the most important points: lobbying & corruption. While in this case just an assumption, history has shown that those factors play major roles, especially in state contracts, so it seems quite likely here as well. Having the best product means nothing compared to having the strongest lobby bribing the right people. As stated before, without solid proof I may very well be wrong, but it still seems likely to me.

    • @arthas640
      @arthas640 Před 11 měsíci +5

      I'm always a bit hesitant in tests like this to draw too many conclusions. Prototypes are often hand made by the company and it's designers/engineers to the highest specifications so they often perform much better than production models. Once a tank enters production they cut corners to make them easier and cheaper to produce, they sometimes cut features, and since they're assembled by factory workers using mass produced materials they're not built to as high a quality. That's the main reason that Russian/Soviet vehicles often perform great in tests or at shows like this but then the real tanks are significantly worse. A good, but old, example is the T-34 which had armor that most German weapons couldnt penetrate... or it was supposed to at least, the real production models had worse steel than the prototypes and early models and the tank could be destroyed by guns it's armor should have shrugged off.
      I dont know about this test specifically but I've seen some similar tests where they take a prototype model and compare it to a different, production model tank and the prototype can perform better since it was a bespoke tank built by a team of engineers and designers rather than a production model built en masse by factory workers. There's also the issue that MANY pieces of equipment from tanks to aircraft can seem great on paper and seem great with hand built prototypes but then severely under perform in real combat. Even some of the best pieces of military equipment will get upgrades and alterations after being combat tested regardless of how well they were tested in a lab. The M-16 was a good example: the first models were flawless when fired in a lab by experienced technicians and testers but once it got out in the field they realized it had more trouble than they thought in harsh environments like muddy trenches or fox holes, or in the jungle and it required some alterations and more maintenance training. The first M-16s were trash compared to later models like the M16A1 or M4, and a lot of the problems were because of issues discovered in the field when the weapon was used in combat: like the full auto setting was assumed to be great because it provided excellent covering fire when needed but in reality soldiers tended to shoot off full clips (often missing), the normal clip size meant that covering fire only lasted seconds, and the soldiers got weighed down carrying extra ammo but switching it to a burst fire setting made it both more accurate, more efficient on ammo usage, and made it so that the covering fire could last longer before needing to reloaded.

    You forgot to mention that Saudi Arabia placed an initial bid to buy about ~300 Osorio tanks. However, Saudi Arabia went back on their word, purposely stalled on finalizing the contract with the tank manufacturer (leaving Engesa hanging in limbo), and then suddenly bought Abrams instead. International Politics probably played a huge role. Brazil was not as big as America in defense exports. And I doubt other major military exporters (Britain, France, Germany, etc) wanted to make room at the table for a new competitor. It would not surprise if some political shenanigans were going on behind the scenes to make sure Osorio was never ordered.

Saudi arabia buying the osorio would have been like buying a beta model which had never really been tested and was all good in theory.

The proposed export version would have lacked the DU armor inserts as well as both the thermal imager and the position location reporting system. There are also claims that the AGT-1500 was to have its governor set at a performance level below that of the US version. Beyond that the US didn't want to equip its allies with the M829 APFSDS but instead with the less effective US copy of the German DM13 the XM827.

      It was a combination of those factors, and lack of Brazillian Army interest at hte time, that lead to the downfall of the Osório.
      The Saudy government had even signed an agreement with Engesa to build a production line there, with the caviat that they would make 1 free Osório for Brazil for every 4 Saudy's completed.
      But when they found about the Iraqui deal they backed out of the agreements, because they had a safety clause that restricted Osório's purchase from Saudy Arabia's enemies
      And was Saddan Hussein's fault that Engesa went down: he had purchased some heavy equipment from them , never to pay them back.
      That, plus the unrecovered development costs of the tank demolished the company.

    The US tactics to implement an embargo on Brazilian military products has a long history, and it still happening to this day. My uncle worked as the main selling chief overseas for ENGESA in the 80's and for AVIBRAS in the 90's. He went to Saudi Arabia and Iraq during this period. He says the Osório MBT was the most beautiful and functional tank he had ever seen. As a vendor for these weapons he needed to know how to operate these tanks, not only Osório and cascavel but also competitor designs.
    Our military industry has a lot of potential but the problem is in the development of very especific systems and parts which are not produced here, usually these companies relying on US parts to finish their products. And what happens is that the us does not provide such parts to stop or slow the development to prevent them from losing profit. It happened to Osório, laser guided missiles, cruise missiles, jet fighters and many other items.

    Sure it out performs the Abrahams but you didn't mention what the Osorio armor was. The Abrams has very thick chobam composite armor which is why it is seventy tons and offers pretty much the best crew protection of any tank. I'm certain the Osorio doesn't have chobam armor as it only weighs 45 tons. that was probably a bigger deciding factor on its adoption as crews of modern tanks take much longer to train and are therefore a bigger part of the investment of fielding a modern tank force. A loss of a fully trained crew is more expensive than replacing the tank.

      Actually we bought the gripen because SAAB was willing to change the development of the aircraft according to brazilian needs in fact a lot of the avionics and the HMD are brazilian, and we are building them here. And the Gripen F was mostly developed here, very useful in fact because we are also starting developing loyal wingman aircraft so a bi-seat fighter is very usefull as a herder aircraft.

    In the design of every combat vehicle, compromises are inevitable. I remember thinking to myself when I drew one of the very first M1s assigned to Europe, "Looks like they ran out of R&D money when they got to the Tank Commander's cupola." Any of you who actually crewed one of the original M1s knows exactly what I'm talking about. So the fact that some obscure company somewhere could one-off a better tank doesn't surprise me. Frankly, I saw several experimental models of the M1 that never made it into production but were significantly advanced over the model that eventually went to production.
    Here's the bottom line: The full production model of the M1 tank was extremely effective against the enemy. More so than any other production model. And in the final analysis, if you don't care for the M1, all that really means is you never crewed an M60A3 or worse...the M60A1.

Also, the government owned company Embrapa developed, a few decades ago, a soil correction technology that allowed farmers to grow pretty much anything in acidic soils. The same technology is now being exported to Mozambique in order to help them in their development. Another good example is Weg, a brazilian company that produces and exports electric motors, generators, mechanical components and many others. Not to mention the newly inaugurated particle acelerator in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo and the first 100% brazilian satelite that went into orbit last week to patrol the Amazon.

      Yeah, for a tank which used MANY imported parts "supporting" parts or repair is obviously the reason - its not like there are a bunch of other military vehicle using those exact same parts or those countries which import those part not knowing how to repair those parts.
      If you look at the Abrams and this tank then you would instantly realize how much the Abrams is beeing outclassed in this consideration. Hell, the Brasilian manufacturer could even sell the licensing of this tank and let other build this thing themself, thats how available almost ALL parts of it (with the exception of the hull and some other parts, which very likely made by the manufacturer himself).
      America is VERY pushy when it comes to their military crap - you have no idea how much their tried to sell us their second grade fighters with so many "confidential" stuff and forcing us to make american engineers handle all the repair and stuff like that because of said "confidential equipments" - while the swedish Grippen's did the job both way better AND had no such crap attached to them. Fortunately even a post-soviet Eastern European nation like Hungary is not THAT corrupt to take such a offer.

    I'm just gonna point out that there is SO much more to a weapon system than just the performance of the system itself - especially more so the more modern and capable the system. There's expected manufacturing and support availability, there's fuel and supplies/replacement part efficiencies, there's transportation and logistics issues, and a thousand other factors. Sometimes a simpler, less "effective" weapon is better because of all of the other factors that surround it, like with the Sherman which was designed around fighting a war halfway around the world from it's production base. Sometimes the specific measured performance of the weapon in testing belies operational issues, like with so many Soviet MBTs, which had terrible sustained crew performance issues due to their cramped and constrained interiors. And sometimes the people with the most guns make the rules. People involved in a project will always find reasons why their project was superior. Sometimes they're right, and sometimes they're wrong.
