Hope your greedy soul was worth your pun.
The fact that the Chadians figured out that driving over 100 km/h over mines didn’t make them detonate just showed how chad the Chadians are

@Emigdiosback and how's libya doing these days?
Gaddafi's nightmares came true. Western GREED coming into Libya to corrupt. How's Libya doing nowadays?
Suiting how a nation named "Chad" used convertible Toyota trucks against a more militarily advanced/modern nation, and still won.
🗿🇹🇩
Chadians are chads beacause they are from Chad.
the french won it for them
With French air support and weapons yes
@@johnf.kennedy9346 It's undeniable that French air dominance was essential to the Chadians success in the early part of the war. I just wanted to make a joke about how a bunch of guys on converted Toyota's were able to push back the Libyans from the Aouzou strip.
The truck that changed HISTORY forever.
Yes bro and there better than trucks today they can carry more and hold more a lot of people still use them
@AriannaBredinbot
So personal story i once fought on one of them yes on one of those pick up trucks for a warlord in africa (not gonna say cuz he’s still alive). That mf thing was fast as hell when nothings on it and the dessert kinda slowed it but not by a lot. I remembered losing a truck on one day and being replaced the next.
Wouldn't that be the Opel Blitz
@AriannaBredin reported
Toyota pick ups are the Nokia 3310s of cars
True, Toyota is one of the important manufacturers for pick up and also SUVs
Nokia 3310s are the Toyota pickups of cell phones
is that the OG Nokia brick that has the game Snake?
aka the phone that holds a charge for 5 days? 😅
aka the Nokia u can accidentally drop out the car window going 70 mph and it still survived?

I betcha there's a warehouse somewhere full of them things that could be used to power an entire country for like 3 days 😅😅😅😅
@eatassonthefirstdate yes the Nokia that can set off ieds and still call afterwards
And ladas, they’re indistructable
The biggest flex/marketing scheme ever devised. Japanese civilian vehicles quite literally driving circles around Soviet armor I can only imagine that has news of this came out, and Chad won more victories, that Toyata dealerships the world over were swamped with buyers.
A capitalist consumer product beat a Commie weapon of war if that doesn’t tell you how inept Communism is I don’t know what will.
Agreed and Top Gear took the Toyota Hilux even higher.
libya occupied the entire north of chad so "more victories" is debatable
@@lightningstrike5024
With the way conflicts are progressing, Chadians can afford to wait until Libya stop existing then pull up to mop up survivors. This time they can afford some used Nissan Safari sold by Dubai car dealers.

The best Toyotathon commercial in history
I'll give it to Toyota they definitely had some good commercials especially the one with the sea monster, it try to destroy the Toyota truck and kill everybody inside but couldn't because that's just how good and tough Toyota makes their trucks, but my favorite vehicle commercial still has to be Chevrolet, the world had ended, and the apocalypse had begun, but these few friends survived only because they had a Chevrolet trucks, they all met up in the middle of town glad to see one another, but also confused because they didn't see John, one of the friends had to break the bad news to the rest, John didn't make it, he had a Ford truck, lmao 🤣 Ford sued Chevrolet the next morning, apparently they didn't like the commercial.
You just know there’s at least one ad exec at Toyota that wants to use this as an ad campaign
I was just thinking that lol but Liberals would try to cancel them 😂
what about that dodge challenger ad?

Nah armchair historian is tuff like that 😭
war fought on trucks is somehow the least crazy thing I've seen in ages
Especially in games such as Command and Conquer Generals
Imo its a modern day kind of calvary, Ukraine is using Humvee’s to similar effect. Horses are useless compared to the eternal and unthinking V6. And horse’s probably wouldn’t like a recoilless rifle strapped to them.
Chad really said "Screw it, we ball"
And boy did they ball.
fighters with Toyota pickups are the modern nomadic horse archers of the modern era.
Also instead using sword & bow as a weapon. They using machine gun & missile. And the tank is equivalent of medieval-era elephant unit.
That machine gun on top of the tank is a 12.7mm with a traverse fast enough to deal with fast moving helicopters. The fact that they couldnt deal with unarmored trucks shows how poorly trained and prepared the libyans were.
Yeah, although even if they were properly trained, how many trucks would they shoot before they became overwhelmed by the numbers. They most likely just underestimated the Chadians
@@dark_sammie they for sure underestimated the chadians. But they also panicked and lost any and all order and cohesion. They remain calm and in formation and return fire in an organized manner and the results are very different.
If they're low-flying helicopters, yes.. bear in mind too, this doesn't work so well when moving. This animation depicts one thing, but I sincerely doubt there was very much accurate fire when travelling at speed; obviously, those guns are not stabilized, and I highly doubt that traversing the desert as they were, it was nice and flat terrain. I am thinking either they stopped or slowed to actually fire, or, they drove ridiculously close to let loose RPGs and heavy MG fire. (Meaning like.. 50-100 feet).
@@aaronpaul9188
Dictators choose generals based on their loyalty to them rather than military competence
Thus their troops are rarely combat ready
That said truck is attached with Anti-Tank/Anti-Aircraft/Bunker Bustar/Whatever they can attach and can outmanuver tank.
Toyota Yes but equipped with MILAN guided ATM , the french knew what they were doing with the technicals
Most are not equipped with Milan, but Dshk, RPG and Recoilles anti tank rifle, it is also 100% Chadian tactics that make them able to utilize the trucks to it's full capacity.
Even after the French Withdraw their support, that's where the Chadian get their largest victory in the war
Do you know why France was even involved?
@@floor_tilemoney
@@unknownbeing7750 I see
@@floor_tile Most of our electricity is made by nuclear power, and a lot of our uranium came from Chad. Stability in the region meant stability in our country.
Also, Chad is one of our former colony, and at the time it was still considered a bit like our duty to pacify the region we left
Now things have changed a bit, with the instability in Chad we buy our Uranium elsewhere. And Russian influence and propaganda is pushing the French away from the former colonies. Now, no French soldiers are officially deployed on African soil (except for sea base), the Wagner militia is replacing us
When I was younger, I was a bit confused why the GLA had pickup trucks in command and conquer generals... now I understand.
You know, in some ways the Chadian tactics were the exact same that nomad horse archers have been using for centuries. Extreme mobility is always a massive advantage.
Really pulled a mad max moment
And did it all with putt-putt 2.0 diesel under the hood, not 351 V8 with Phase 4 head.
"This war over a critical resource deposit involving a bunch of tanks was sponsored by the TOYOTA Corporation."
why did i read it with callmeezikil voice ?
Japan: “we are a nation of peace!”
Toyota: “I am not a nation!”
That truck revolutionized warfare forever
Real
The Ford Model T back in WW1 would say hold my beer
DJI drones are the sequel to this
@@fallout560Not really. DJI drones have to be extensively modified to be tactical.
Toyota trucks are already tactical out of the box.
@@kenm5896Lol no, Toyota truck need to mount guns and missiles just like DJI need to be modded to drop grenades
Hylux / Tacoma
Built for peace, proven in war.
Built Toyota tough!
* Proud Taco owner
The Tacoma is an overweight oversized Hilux that's more like a minivan than an actual truck
pretty sure the Hilux is closer to the 4runner and the Taco is its own chassis nowadays
Nah, the tacoma is bad compared to the Hilux, it's bigger and heavier just for the US market
The rest of the world uses the superior Hilux, the real toyota pick-up truck

Literal Numidian Light Cavalry.
Chad making a CHAD move
I like how, even with just Toyota pick up trucks, they still somehow managed to gain air superiority
The french air force
Muammar Ghadaffi: How could I lose to an army of Toyota Heluxes when I have tanks?
Jeremy Clarkson: You shouldn't have chosen the weaker vehicle.
Oh, if Toyota and Nokia would come together to design a tank. I'm not sure what conventional weapon would destroy it.
Floor lego
Ford’s been pretty quiet after this dropped
Technicals made from Ford F-150 deployed by ISIS in Iraq were dogs with flea. Of course they want to keep it quiet.
Gonna play again Commnad and Conquer and picking GLA faction again to overwhelm enemies with Technicals
Pick off the weaker vehicles for the good salvage
@@thertsfan yep
FOR THE GLA!!!
No armor is the best armor
Speeeeeeed and powerrrrrr
Libya getting beaten by a relatively inferior nation called Chad with pickup trucks is just great, even cinematic.
Best commercial to advertise the Hilux. The famed 'indestructible' truck was indeed indestructible in this war. I can see why AM General started making conversions for the Hilux alongside their Humvees. But Humvees are also good as well
During this conflict, General Haftar was captured by Chad and abandoned by Gaddafi. Haftar would return to Lybia in the 2010s to overthrow Gaddafi and form his own government in Tobruk.
Didn’t know that fact from our old pal out of Libya, that’s intriguing to say the least!

The art has gotten so much better
A 6 figure tank that requires a squad of high paid specialists to maintain or a durable pickup that any layperson with a manual, wrench and a screwdriver?
Ah, I see. Running peak Dodge Build actually works in real life. This must've broke the Tank Build meta.
no armor best armor
If the French gave the Chadians fords theyd've lost the war in 6 hours.
Toyota (used to) shows that quality > quantity. Quantity prolongs wars. Quality wins wars.
Quantity has its own quality
@@SaifAlikhan-wy1zs Quantity is overwhelming. It's important to know when to use quantity.
Ripping on Russia.
Well Germany favored quality over quantity and they lost cuz of attrition. Quality can win wars quickly which is why they had early success. But once u get bogged down and locked into a war of attrition, it all becomes about who can tank and replace their losses quicker

I'm still waiting for the Toyota Tech Tree to be added to War Thunder.
Thanks for providing us with this fascinating piece of history Armchair Historian. The Toyota War changed desert warfare forever and Toyota executives must have been shocked by how successful their products were in war and the country of Chad lived up to its name. Here's a fun fact: when he died Gaddafi's dead body was taken away in one of the Toyota pickup trucks to twist the knife further, how ironic.
Gaddafi's body on his main enemies truck is just 😂
I’ve never heard of this conflict. Thanks for the information.
Just a few corrections on the Toyota's themselves:
1. Hilux is pronounced high-lux not he-lux as it comes from the Japanese pronunciation (Hairakkusu).
2. The Hilux shown at 6:04 is way to modern for 1986/1987. The one shown looks to be a sixth generation Hilux (1997-2005), as its body is smooth. The Chadians would have been using fourth generation Hilux's and earlier.
3. The Hilux's shown at 7:33 look to be more correct.
Hilux is short for High Luxury.
