Thanks to everyone supporting Savage Actual! We are super close to 100K subs. Spread our videos around and help us reach 100K. Thanks again. Stay Savage!!
*FOR THE F...KING LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, BRO...Plz overhand (not underhand) slap your music supervisors or whoever claimed you officially got in league w/over at those Unveil's guys' side of the house....That's right! We said it. are your sound dudes literally finding B level jamband "free" uploads/tracks that stoners and actual musicians just laugh at or fall asleep to? (are you guys even actually allowed to hear it BEFORE you take the hours to sync up this savagely boring AF sleepmetal that was put it on your videos?) ...And IF THERE'S A MUSICAL DEAL BEING STRUCK THEN?? then uhhh WTF??? MMMMHM? first off there's numerous mil/SOF friendly bands like ours, WHO WOULD SMOKE clowns like☝ do whatever the actual f...k THAT horsesh!t is, mmmkay? Then, let's not hire Five Finger Fist F..k part deux (nor ANY bands that still quietly dry hump Pantera's leg, or jeeezus tap dancing Christ, be some nube metal assclones like Godsmack or "Trapt"...the f..k with that band....it's worse than even five finger in that so dumb of a group of individuals are to criminally fanatically obsess over such crap, and it's in every 11 banger or 0311 ipod). PLEASE dude/s...this only hurts your own fans and viewers. K? Not being a douche here, not a metal gatekeeper or elitist, hell i am far from it, I just know there's bands that would donate music to you TODAY versus ever having to hear this gayness again...Plz... Here, I got you...I've already inquired into it, and my buddies at Volcom (records) and two other bands are sending you (via your INSTAGRAM so go there and scope out the tracks etc you'll be sent by guys like Swagger Daggers, Raising The Black🏴☠️, etc) these will ALL BE FREE songs that you can use FOR FREE during these TIC review videos sequences that doesn't sound like the gay half brother of Liquid Tension, Frank Zappa's Cyborg Lovebot, or some kinda bad anime intro by a band called Rectum Scepter or something. Cool?? ok? Cool? Check your f...king DMs on insta...you're getting dialed in, fuckfaces*
CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE TO THE CZcamsR RETICULON?!
Patrick you want a free gaming computer? It’s got a GTX 980 FTW and an i-4770k so it’s far from top of the line but it’s a damn fine start. I don’t use it much anymore. Runs any game just fine though in SHD
The recoilless type thing was Milan atgm. 2nd one might be eryx and the machine gun just after was aa52. Mortar is 120mm rifled FT-F1 also known as m327 efss in USMC service. Yes that was a rifle grenade apav 40. Vehicle is vbci with one man 25mm turret.
French military are getting rid of the FAMAS and are using HK416F as their standard assault rifle now.
Much better choice!
@@SAVAGEActual even better it killed Bin Laden. 🤘
@@SAVAGEActual Gun Jesus would disagree lol
@@SAVAGEActual WHo knows, never tried a FAMAs the reason is economic mostly
@@tm.8399 Parce que la Manufacture de Saint-Étienne ( là où les FAMAS étaient fabriqués ) à fermé en 2001 et l'armé Française voulait aussi des armes plus légères que le FAMAS.
Sorry if i speak French but i don't speak english very well so use google translate if you don't understand. :)
Appreciate yall ✊ had an ancestor fight directly under Washington at Valley Forge, we're all indebted to yall 🤝🤘
9:56 kills me, they were like, tf the whole launcher go 😂😂😂
I was in the french army so it makes me happy to see they interesting to what we do in this kind of area 💯👌🏽
Just got done working with these badasses. They actually upgraded to the H&K416. Good on em
Jason and Patrick always have the best shirts on 😂 awesome content guys
One of my Civil Affairs AIT instructors was deployed with these guys in a French battle space on one of his deployments, kind of cool to be able to put a bit of a picture to some of the stories he told us about them.
Check out the sheep at the very beginning stacking up against the wall ready to go lol.🤣
Love these videos! Nothing beats actual footage. I’d love to see you guys react to some Canadian combat footage, specifically “dawn raid on the Taliban”. It’s close combat in Helmand and pretty intense
That opening soundtrack is 🔥. Vengence and Misery is the name of the track.
French GIGN would be awesome reaction. They're like police special tactics unit on steroids. They have the same training than any military special operations unit has, but they can be used overseas also instead of just doing stricly domestic missions. Plus they are one of the most experienced counter-terrorist units on world.
GIGN is like the Gendarmerie special forces. ;)
90k!!! Congrats 100k coming soon!
So close!
"I love it when it's cloudy, fuck the sun" rah brother.
Hon Hon We we! You take ah my Baguette! We take ah your life!
I couldn't help myself. 🤣
The intro song was dope as hell! Thanks for the video Savage Actual!!
they use the famas because its more of a symbol of national pride its 100% french and the french military is known for waiting till something is absolutely unusable and old to replace it with something 20 years ahead of its time and there's really nothing then can do about the offset besides recontouring the receiver and bolt handle to go on the side FN200 style
If I'm not entirely mistaken, that launcher was a MILAN. The first one in the video, anyway. The second one, which you compare to the TOW, is probably an ERYX.
They're both wire-guided, TOW-esque, with the Eryx being the somewhat more modern of the two.
SAVAGE Actual I know the boys would love to react to Australian combat footage, either of two videos: 'Afghanistan Combat Footage' (uploaded by JustFuzileiro) or 'Combat Footage: Australian and American Soldiers Fighting Together' (uploaded by AmericaFuckYeah). First one is a little long but definitely worth it.
I heard the French, Brits, and Australians actually contributed a lot, unlike the Germans who wouldn't help allies in an area of their jurisdiction and would only react if their own was in trouble.
Politics... Coalition forces only consisted of 1300 (initially) later up to 3000 german troops (including all branches, not just fighting force). With further 6 tornados (recon only) made available by the german government. Every mishap of the german contingent was cause of bad media coverage and further pressure on german politicians. You can't have a WW2 and then not expect the culture to drastically be opposed to war. Especially with the allies having taken respective actions in wake of establishing the west german government and it's constitution. The dogma of "Never ever shall this country participate in war" is so ingrained into germany, and designed that way by the victors, that the current situation is hardly surprising. Basically it's a case of "You cannot have the cake and eat it too."
I am even astonished by the fact the germans participate at all, given that they rejected being part of the Iraq war.
Also, the german military is a joke, generally speaking. In 2009 they didn't have a single officer with combat experience in afghanistan. And they cannot even operate without logistic support from other nations, due to lack of equipment.
I can only recommend this read, it's hillarious: www.thedailybeast.com/german-soldiers-in-afghanistan-cant-shoot
@@dontanton7775 dam you dont have to went in on them like that jezz
@@dontanton7775 Yes, I would agree for the most part considering you are talking about the general situation the German Army is in right now. The biggest problem is that it's funding went down a lot since the end of the cold war and even then money that was available wasn't always used for what it should have been used. Additionally politicians who shouldn't be in the defense department became head of said department and wanted to do or made some questionable choices/changes. The German Army was used by some politicians as a tool to further their individual careers instead of doing what would have been best for the army. In the last 10 years there have been so many incredible stories about the German Army like; only 2 working attack helicopters out of ~70 because of missing parts and no money, one supplier supplying bad ammo which made rifles inaccurate, the whole G36 fiasco which turned out to be driven by some politicians and that there wasn't really a problem, ... .
There is a dogma of "WWII or something like that should never happen again in Germany" but that "the country shall never ever participate in war" isn't completely right. The German Army was created to protect Germany against the Soviets during the Cold War and was never intended to be an offensive army so to say. So there are still many politicians who think that way and politics getting more liberal didn't help that either.
But yes culturally there are many Germans who despise the German Army and anything that has to do with it and the media is often on that side which in turn causes politics to be on that same side.
Also Germany could rely on their NATO allies a lot for various things in the past which also never prompted change in the German Army. Recently there have been some changes in the right direction, especially after the Trump administration made clear to Germany that they will not always be able to rely on the US.
They didn't have a single officer in the regular Army with combat experience because outside of specialized units the German Army has never seen actual combat until Afghanistan. So where should those with combat experienced come from?
It is also not that easy to get the German Army deployed because every military action must be approved by the parliament (which isn't easy), that also includes special forces which is ridiculous. One way to avoid that is by giving NATO command over a unit which then can be deployed by NATO. That doesn't require the approval from parliament but only works for a certain amount of units so that only happens to specialized units like KSK which is why those Units have been in a lot more combat than pretty much any other German Army units.
@@kevinstallmann6204 Some good points raised there. Of course, in regards to "anti-war" stance I based that statement on the federal state level and populace mentality. The whole cold war was experienced in light of that self defense mentality. Though people lived in fear of total nuclear annihilation, and the decades are marked by a strong anti-nuclear/peace/green movement. While wide spread, the hard core of these political forces could be considered the origins of today's mainstream green party. Using the army outside of german borders was unthinkable at that time. As to the topic of funding, I would be interested where all that money goes. They are still the 7th largest military spender in the world. Where does all the money go?
@Albrecht Ryan
Hehe, sorry. To put some perspective on it: I am half-german myself ;)
@@dontanton7775 where does all the money go?
Very good question. Apparently not where it is needed the most. I remember a few years back the then head of defense of Germany suggested opening kindergardens inside military installations to make it more appealing to parents or some shit like that. I don't know if they actually came through with it but the idea alone should give you some understanding of the situation.
When the news about those helos broke there was also mentioned that many other things like fighter jets and tanks are in bad shape and if funding wouldn't increase it would be very likely that those won't make it in the next few years. I think after that report funding got a little better or at least directed in the right direction and I think it's somewhat getting better even though Germany still doesn't spend nearly enough on their military.
"I love cloudy days, I f*ckin' hate the sun."
Ditto
If you guys want to check out other Special Forces, check out the 707th from South Korea, or the Japanese Special Forces Group(SFG). I think both of their units served in Iraq as part of the Coalition. They currently train for the threats from the Norks and the PRC. Once again, badass content from you guys as always.👍
Super awesome thanks for the video guys
Glad you enjoyed it
Yeah, french army have a bit less of those "wait for action" i believe. you're in it or you're not there.
Not always in fight, but if you're on site, you do somthing (escort, surveillance, prep for other forces, rounds,...) there is always a thing to do that you are expected to do quick and good so that the footmen don't end up with that bore stress.
The recoiled rifle thing was Milan atgm
That's actually more than likely the Erxy ATGM, based on the size and the Mirabel thermal imager.
@@Skyried no this was the milan
Should do some videos of you guys shooting a weapon system showing the basics would be super cool.
Awesome! Intro and Soundtrack is killer
Also, the NF1 is a sick looking machine gun. And when are you guys doing another Q and A?
Oh my, that intro music was incredible sounding!
Glad you like it!
That F'en missile launcher is MILAN anti-tank weapon system. It's like a tow basically.
Weapon in video
FAMAS in 5.56mm
Grenade rifle APAV-40
Milan anti-tank missile
Sniper MAS FR-F2 in 7.62 mm
Machine gun AAT-52 in 7.62 mm
Mortar MO 120 RT
Tank
VBCI
AMX 10 RC
Cheers guys great vid
You guys should have a look at the Portuguese Paratroopers 🇵🇹
React to royal marines! preferably from the atleast the past two years
Also react to the Portuguese para in central Africa
The "TOW Like" system you guys were talking about is a well distributed laser guided launcher in the EU called "Eryx"
This was not the "eryx". This the "Milan" which is a wired guided anti tank missile. The container as gone backwards while the missile is guided by the operator.
finally a video that isnt a short somehow scaring the shit put oh me with the PH intro
That rubber thing is probably a spare attachments for binos or night vision. I used the same thing on my trij in the IDF. Some night vision sights like our akila or lior have rubber protectors so they dont get burned out, you have to push your eye into the scope and then it folds back a bit and you see perfect. But yea we stuck em on the trij becuse the micro tavor is so short your eyebrow was pretty much touching the sight and catching a trij once in the eye is enough to not want to do it again.
Hey guys, I want to see you two react to some of the videos from "The Operations Room", or "Liveth For Evermore". Thanks, and I wish you guys all the success in the world.
Great suggestion!
Love it!!!!
waited til i got home to play this one... was worried about the PH intro music
love the vid but i gotta find a new place to get my oil changed because of your last vid
great video and it really makes me nervous not seeing people get down when even in games like tarkov i try to take cover
glhf savage team
2 REP is the foreign legion para regiment, they are not sf, more sf support, they have a tier 2 section called gcp, legion paras green berets, french regular paras red berets, famas designed for iron sight not optics, with iron sight cheek is on stock.
When it comes to getting support, does that all get pre-planned in accordance to intelligence about the area, or can they reach out to other forces in the area to get some extra fire power?
Because it looks like either a couple U.S Apaches or maybe a few well placed JDAMs would have been a nice equilibrium.
I assume maybe restrictions on use due to the potential for collateral damage, but shit man being in a situation of a potential encirclement doesn't sound favorable either.
Loving the savage soundtrack
Y’all really have the best collection of t-shirts
Did you check out SavageActual.com ?
@@SAVAGEActual I will definitely check it out!!
& thank you both for your service 🇺🇸
Love this kind of video! Could you react to that footage of the portuguese SOF in Africa? That would be awesome to watch.
I second this Patrick and Jason, PLEASE! Or react to our special forces as well here in Portugal. Been with u guys since video n1, since Gamology, how far u guys have come man, good things happen to good people like u both are 🙏🏻🇵🇹🦅
Cool stuff. I'd love some reactions to the norwegian boys (Telemark Battalion, MJK or FSK). Not a whole lot of "informational" videos, mostly instrumental music videos like this one.
Question. Have either of you, personally, ever fought with any norwegians soldiers?
Its crazy those guys ate still using those outdated af FRF sniper rifles
Savage soundtrack indeed! \M/
id love to see more international footage. Ive seen some badass Canadian, UK, Australian footage. "Just call me Dave!". Maybe look at some internal CT footage from say the UK or France.
the rifle they use is the famas f1, i think they switched the hk 416 though.
Love the channel if u guys take requests it would be awesome if u took a look at csor or JTF2.
Y’all should interview thedevildoggamer
You should do onward VR. Best combat game EVER! LOVE YOUR WORK (FROM UK)
Thanks, will do!
Missile launcher might be Milan wired missile. .. the machine gun is an ANF 1,quite old an replaced wit minimi 556 / 762 since lire à decade now
You guys should check out the danish in helmand they have some hardcore videos
react to more live combat footage please. waiting for #3
4:07 More useless trivia. DId ja know? The VBCI VCI (Véhicule Blindé de Combat d'Infanterie) The first prototype was completed in 2004. It is a successor to the ageing AMX-10P IFV. The VBCI shares much in common with the Vextra and X8A prototype IFVs, developed by GIAT Industries and Renault in the early 1990s. A total of 630 VBCI infantry fighting vehicles were ordered by the French Army. Deliveries commenced in 2008. The VBCI saw active service in 2010 in Lebanon and Afghanistan. In 2013 French Army deployed these IFVs in Mali. The VBCI is powered by Renault (Volvo D12) turbocharged diesel engine, developing 550 horsepower. It does look like the US LAV-25. Only our LAV has a weaker Detroit Diesel 6V53T, 300 hp engine.
4:34 The main gun: 25 mm cannon/409 rounds capacity.
Armed with remotely controlled 12.7 mm machine gun
Hey SAVAGE ACTUAL did you guys ever watch: Ross Kemp - Return To Afghanistan | S01E01 - E05 Compilation | Ross Kemp Extreme World? It's a long video from a war reporter about 3 hours 40 minutes with intense firefights during the filming. At the 24 minute mark they come under heavy fire from talibans. It might be interesting for a reaction video
Music is way to loud, but overall great vid lads!
the only problem with french army it that's it is "an army of samples". Each regiment is specialized in one type of thing, but the budget is so poor, it can't be done more than once or twice, let alone a war. Technically, some of the best soldiers in the world, with the brits, the finns, the danes... let's wish em well.
React to Canadian JTF2 or CSOR or any CANSOFOM unit. They’re awesome
Agree. Thanks for watching Stephen
You guys should react to that dude that eats MRE's from the 40's and WWII and vietnam and compare them to the MRE's you had
who steve?
Bad fucking ass intro Brothers
3:54 Those sheep look like they are positioning themselves for an attack on that armored vehicle.
"OK! Hand me the RPG! Hand me the....wait what?! What do you mean "what RPG?" The one you were told to bring with you on this mission! What do you mean you forgot it! If we aren't turned into lamb chops today I am going to kill you myself!"
Hmmmmmm.... interesting intro!!
It would be cool if you guys got to hangout and talk with a foreign legion guy get their perspective
you guys definitely have to check out the french foreign legion taliban dshk video.
You should react to some germany or danish combat footage
I would love to see your reaction of the mg3 (mg42) in action
If you are left handed and shoot left handed it must suck to shoot a BulpUp. Because you got bullets flying in your face.
it would be cool if you guys could react to Portuguese special forces they have been in intense combat in Africa theres some HD combat videos poppin
Love the vid, guys, but the music is a bit too loud, especially towards the end.
Gotcha, noted.
I love the shirt Patrick got, and Jason 100% agree with you making the shirt pink and having tacos on it
The French military is replacing the FAMAS which is a very reliable rifle that was used by the French, but the French military is replacing the FAMAS with the HK 416 a5
And the reason why they choose it is because French military wanted to make their own firearms because they closed or refused trade with Germany import due to the fact of bad relations they had over the years with each other and the reason why the French is replacing the FAMAS to the HK416 ironically is because the manufacture in France closed and getting parts was hard to come by and coming in with very limited numbers, by the French seeing how prolific the 416 is they went with it cause many nations have adopted the 416
If you want more info on the FAMAS and their reasoning there is an awesome channel called forgotten weapons where a guy who looks like Jesus tells how it came into production and how the project started and also the man also owns a FAMAS
14:07 Guy should use his camel back to throw some water on that burm, that way he’s not giving away his position so clearly
Milan Anti-tank system heavy as fuck the british scrapped it years ago quite surprised to see the French still using it
i think they're using a mix of the MILAN and the ERYX
i wait the video on the italian special forces
Anyone else watch combat footage and think what the fuck are they shooting at
Looks like a MILAN anti tank
The Pwesha
Just to say with all my respect. None of these footage are "Special Forces" It's all and only regular regiments from the french army
French army has replaced the old famas by the hk 416 and its much better
I think part of the reason they bought the FAMAS was because it wasn’t German, and partly because the company that made the FAMAS had been making the French army rifles since Napoleon was in power. The factory closed a few years back. Ironically, they want to replace the FAMAS with the HK416, which is made in Germany.
wtf are you talking about? The FAMAS and the company that made it were made by the French government. That's why they're switching over because there's no one making the gun and parts for it after the contract ended as the company was ceased by the government.
Please react to the iranian embassy siege footage!
Commentary is bit ahead of the video but other than that interesting take
Hello, for your title in French Vétérinaire = veterinarians. For veterans it's........ vétérans !
Y’all should break down some newer Mexican cartel shit And try and asses where they’re getting their training and gear from. Like deported marines or whatever other countries
This hand tattoo on Jason is new isn't it? Or am I insane?
Its new.
SAVAGE Actual it's pretty cool
