  1. speaking as a veteran that decided to not reenlist, "toxic leadership" and "no quality of life" are 2 big ones

  2. My condolences to the family of Corey Comperatore, the 50 year old firefighter, churchgoer and father of two daughters, who was tragically killed at that rally.

  3. You can’t expect the politicians that are payed by the cartel to actually do anything against the cartel
    16000
  4. Thanks for interviewing my team and I. Having an audience as big as yours may actually be able to change how the US sees this war. We appreciate you man.

  6. That Napoleon movie got France all riled up 😂
    11000
  7. "How much they hated the politicians" a group of 3 x different militaries agreeing on one thing.
    10000
  8. Mexico is also a “nuclear latent” state — one of the countries (like Japan, South Korea, Germany) that could quickly manufacture a nuclear weapon but has opted not to.

  9. This man literally rushed a house full of campers and got a team wipe. Even did a finishing move. Respect

  10. Former Air Force officer here. I'd go back in a heartback to defend the nation against a serious threat....but risking my life for wars of convenience? Hell no!
    8200
  11. A friend of mine is a Salvadoran living in the US, and he loves what's happened in his country. He told me it's finally safe to go home and visit.

  12. Most "Failed" weapons programs are not actually failures, they can be thought of as Test Beds / Proof of Concept
    7700
  13. I wish more people would take the cartels much more seriously. They are becoming way too powerful and prevalent.
    7500
  14. Generals: "If the ammo weighs 30% less, the soldiers can carry 30% more rounds! :D"
    7200
  15. 10 bucks that in 10 years these same vehicles are getting armour slapped on the sides and get dropped in a battle they aren't suited for.
    7200
  16. 2 different people went to law enforcement and said they saw a man climbing a building with a rifle. The one guy said he walked back a second time to tell law enforcement since they did nothing. There was a crowd of people pointing and looking at the shooter. This is unacceptable.
    7200
  17. Former Mexican Army Soldier here, I joined in a effort to protect the people, to help my people live more peacefully, and i can say that almost all low to mid ranking soldiers join to do so. Ever since i saw the crime and murders as a child, i wanted to change that.
    7100
  18. Too young to get deployed to the Middle East, too old to get deployed to the Middle East, but just right to get deployed to Texas 😂

  19. "Building your own homemade airplane in the 1910s was a pretty wild endeavor." As opposed to now, where I've built 3 stealth fighters in my basement in this month alone

    6100
  23. Most important question: How easily can it be towed with a tractor?
    6000
  24. Copying is not a bad strategy. For example when the french started using smokeless powder in their rifles almost all of Europe instantly switched to the new powder
    6000
  25. If Indonesia is smart they will study how Turkey balances competing sides, if Turkey is smart it will study how Indonesia runs its economy.

  26. So, the Secret Service has no fault in this? 150 yards roof top building with no cover on it. Really?
    5700
  27. Rather than knowing how bad North Korea's new tanks are, I'm more shocked that they even have "new" tanks

  30. "We'll see how this CIA mission didn't go exactly as planned" might as well be the CIA's motto at this point
    5300
  31. Just a point of clarification, Aussies never drink Foster's, that's the garbage we send overseas. We do ride around on Kangaroo's though.

  35. El Salvador is a different country, unrecognizable, business booming, people having parties until very late, women walking alone at night, people using laptops at bus stations, I mean, that was insane just a year ago! Only someone who has face that level violence and insecurity can understand how precious safety is.
    4700
  36. I am the leader of nato and everything is OK.
    4700
  37. No words needed. Just thank you.

  38. The true secret to their success is that every Spartan tank has a BV (boiling vessel) so you always have hot tea where ever you go.
    4500
  39. As an Australian Army war veteran, I can confirm this massive change in the defence budget is SIGNIFICANT! Historically Australia (Post WWII) has been very conservative on defence spending, which means for the Generals and the Minister of Defence to make a HUGE change in policy (Increase missiles and cut IFVs) is significant. This is not done for no reason. Best defence is offence, Australia wouldn't start a war but we'd be there to ensure democracy succeeds. We also have a 'secret' army, we've won the Hearts and Minds of the Emu's ... they are a formidable force now ;)
    4500
  40. A lithuanian here too; i am absolutely stunned that you actually decided to cover our military in an entire, dedicated video. I used to be really excited hearing mere mentions of our little country in some of the older content, yet never did i expect for our military and strategy to get so much attention. Thank you for making my day with this video, keep up the good job, and may the need for us to deploy our forces for homeland defence never arise. Wishes from Lithuania, to the US.
    4500
  41. Marines cannot be slowed down by the massive logistics of tanks when trying to be a rabid reaction force.
    4400
  42. Thanks for sharing this, really like the personal videos like this. At 19, I couldn’t imagine myself in that scenario.
    4400
  43. "Accusations that it wasted millions of taxpayer dollars." Woah the government wasting money no way

  46. Are you telling me using the AT4 as a home defense weapon is a bad idea because i can burn my wife with it? I don't believe you
    4200
  47. Cappy, I sincerely thank you for risking your life to show people the realities our soldiers face every day. This is very important to us. I have been an active service member of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for near three years now, and I want you to know that we will always be happy to see you in our country and that you have many friends here. I hope you'll visit us again. If you see this message and you're up for it, the Third Separate Assault Brigade would be glad to meet you. 😉 Keep creating such amazing content. Best of luck to you!

  48. Hot take: things are not chill right now

  49. Finally someone who sees logic and not bias.
    3900
  50. As a former russian soldier I can clearly tell you that you are absolutely right about equipment of russian army, still old soviet style vehicles, no night vision equipment and etc. I do not support this war, this madness that is happening now in the Ukraine
    3900
  51. To be fair to the T-72, it’s unlikely that nearly any modern tank without APS could survive a top attack ATGM like the NLAW or Javelin. The only big difference is that a Western tank crew has a better chance of surviving while T-72 operators are almost guaranteed to be cremated due to the ammo storage.
    3900
  52. India's only major external military concern is a two front conflict against China and Pakistan. This important part of its geopolitical calculation is something you should have covered.
    3900
  53. Huh. So you're saying that it was the 120 pounds of gear I carried over multiple deployments that caused my back injury and knee pain? I don't believe you.
    3800
  54. They'll just keep adding shit until it evolves back into an Abrams
    3700
  55. France is not investing into tanks and land troops, because that's where Germany and Poland are investing. France role in a war where the EU is fighting alone would be nuclear deterrence, providing 1 carrier strike group (realistically for use in the Atlantic or North Sea) and keep trade line open with the UK and the US. Italy would focus on securing the Med (and as you can see, Italy is investing most of its resources on the Navy, keeping 2 "carriers" capable of launching F35B) and Germany and Poland would be the one providing the bulk of tanks (Germany) and mechanized infantry (Poland will have one if the largest mobile infantry corps in the world in a couple of years time) for the main front. It's the first time I'm aware of where European nations are preparing to fight against a foreign enemy and splitting the roles so clearly.
    3700
  56. "State owned, private security companies" Well... that's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one
    3700
  57. Update: Petr Pavel found 200k more shells, making it a million. Some ppl look under their couch and find loose change, Pavel finds other things...
    3600
  58. The fact that the mayor tried to deny that it even happened
    3600
  59. Kim wanted a twin-barrelled tank but they had to talk him down to bolt-on ATGMs instead.
    3600
  60. As a Sapper route clearance team leader in Baghdad in 2006-2007 I can tell you first hand the V hull saved just about all of my joes lives. We didn't have the new MRAPS but old school RGs (from South Africa) and Buffalos. The hits they took and we walked away from was absolutely incredible. Our Buffalo once took a 400lb HME hit directly under the hull...ripped all 3 axles off and flung the thing about 50 feet but we all walked away. Any other style truck was a death trap. My team alone cleared about 300 IEDs with about 50 hits, lots of concussions and a gunner took some shrapnel to the face but no KIA.
    3600
  61. The fact that "... 22,000 Humvees..." is just leftovers, shows how staggeringly massive the US arsenal is.
    3600
  62. 6:45, Actually the Russians solved the "small door problem" by not issuing their soldiers any equipment or gear.
    3600
  63. As a Finn, if it were us fighting the Russians I'd wish for my government to bring the fight on the Russian side of the border too. As long as the Russian aggression continues in Ukraine, I have no issues with Russians military equipment being destroyed within their borders.
    3400
  64. We can all agree politicians suck
    3400
  65. "Someone else will raise your sons and daughters." Man, this guy knows how to get a point across. Very nice.
    3400
  66. Does Cappy pronounce things wrong and differently every time just to mess with us or is it unintentional?
    3400
  67. I don’t know how viable the gyrocopter would be in combat, but they sure look like fun to ride.
    3400
  68. Targeting anything that is being used to attack another country isn't escalation. It's common sense
    3300
  69. Something important to mention - the reason that Bukele's government raided the anti-corruption office was that it was staffed with people from the previous party system that had ruled El Salvador and were commonly perceived as being paid off by the gangs. The office was also investigating Bukele for impeachment or a coup on their behalf. TL;DR: The anti-corruption office was widely believed to be held by corrupt people.
    3300
  70. Fellow infantry guy here. Got a chance to hang out with Finnish and Swedish troops in Afghanistan. Great people.
    3300
  71. If you live in a city that was targeted by an ICBM with a nuke and that payload was destroyed by one of these systems... you would consider it money well spent.
    3300
  72. I always find it amusing when people think the US military is tapping into it's wartime reserves. Congress mandates that the US military must keep a certain amount of ammunition to be prepared for war. The only stockpile that is running out is whats avaliable to donate and sell to other countries.
    3200
  73. Poland does not want a war. We want to stay safe. That's all.
    3200
  74. As a citizen of Myanmar, i'm a very grateful for covering this topic up. We've been suffering very badly under military dictatorship. We want nothing but freedom.
    3200
  75. The HK416 really is the result of HK actually understanding why no project to replace the AR-15 worked in the past. The US military, regardless of what they asked for, just wanted a better m4.
    3100
  76. Don't forget about "MacNamara's 100,000" -- drafting troops who normally wouldn't be accepted into the service due to low IQ during the Vietnam War. It was a disaster.
    3100
  77. Interesting, I was living a few kilometers from sadr ciry in Badghad during those times. I remember that once around 2007 US forces were searching our neighbourhood and they entered my home While I was playing GTA san andreas, I was only 8 then and I as scared to be honest but that one guy who I forgot his name entered my room and saw the game and he have me codes of cheats of unlimited ammo and HP that I previously never knew existed. using my limited English back then I knew that he was from Ohio. that was the closest encounter that I had with US forces. some like us were treated nicely while others not so much.
    3100
  78. As a Filipino, I’m glad with this agreement. Never had an issue in the past. My dad was a big supporter of US forces in the Philippines. Along with other relatives in agreement. Some of these relatives were officers of the Philippines Army during the 80s, 90s. Their sons joining the Philippine Armed Forces themselves. I know many Filipinos don’t agree with my opinion but it’s my opinion.
    3100
  79. US government: yeah I'm not feeling any of these new designs Colt: adds more rails to the M4 and calls it the M5 US government: perfect

  80. I am from the region; This is more balanced and informative than any coverage I was on mainstream media! Arabic, Israeli or international. A breath of rationality and humility to this ugly part of a very ugly conflict. Much respect!

  83. Syria's essentially been the world's battle royale map since 2012 and from the looks of things that hasn't changed at all

  90. “We asked soldiers what they wanted, and we gave them this instead”
    2900
  91. I have only one complaint with your current coverage of this war. That being that there isnt enough of it of course. I really have come to look forward to your videos on this conflict as they are nuanced, detailled, attempt to stay unbaised and are also open on issues where errors in information occur. Thank you again for this video.
    2800
  92. This entirely original non ripped off concept has potential.
    2800
  93. My neighbor worked for several years on this project! I'm proud to say that my very own 10Lbs. Sledgehammer was borrowed to destroy failed prototypes

  95. The DoD Presentation Slides: Slide 1: "MODULAR!" Slide 2: "MODULAR!!" Slide 3: "MODULAAAAAR!!!!" Slide 4: "MOD-U-LAAAAR!!!!" Slide 5: "MOOOOOD-ULAR!!!!!" There's 54031 more slides included with the presentation. They're not numbered, meaning each slide can be in whatever order wanted - a truly modular presentation.

  96. “Bro you just deleted the hostage” “My b, thought it was on concussion mode”

  97. The mispronunciation of Cerberus and sabot is making me twitch! Please say it was intentional lol
    2800
  98. 13:05 * new hull, new turret, - what shall we call it? * M1
    2800
  99. To me, it's not all that particularly alarming that Russian forces are slowly gaining more territories and the defenders have retreated when the cost of defending territories exceeds the cost of retreating. This is an asymmetric war where Russia has far more heavy weapons than Ukraine. Ukraine's strategy is not to defend every inch of territory to the last man, but to do two things instead, 1) prolong the resistance for as long as possible, and 2) inflict as much loss to the enemy as possible provided that they retain fighting resistance. So the question is not if Russia is winning more battles or gaining territories. The question is whether Russia is inching closer to their strategic aim, and whether they're close or farther away from the outcome they want with every passing day.
    2700
  100. Perun did an awesome (as usual) presentation on this. What I love about his video is the way that he explains how a 20% skim is so much more than a 20% impact. Selling $500 worth of fuel could leave a $5M piece of equipment stranded in a field in Ukraine, waiting to be pulled away by a farmer with a tractor. That goes for fuel, cheap Chinese tires, you name it. It goes from General Kleptokrovich to Private Konscriptovich
    2700
  101. Whether Russia takes Bakhmut or not, the city will be destroyed from the fighting (more than it already is) and it saddens me. Bakhmut is one of a very few Donbas cities with really old and beautiful architecture. It is a town built by merchants in XIX ct., and they cared how theirs buildings look. Russians hate it. The rest of Donbas settlements are of a post-WW2 simplistic Soviet architecture.

  104. Aircraft Carriers are vulnerable yes. But to paraphrase The Chieftain:” the Military is based on Capabilities, not vulnerabilities.” Until something comes along and offers the long range power projection and strike capability a Carrier can, it’s going nowhere.
    2700
  105. The main issue with light tanks is that during training and war games, you tell a commander “main battle tank” they hear “tank. You tell them “light tank” and they hear “tank”. The amount of times Strykers were sent forward for frontline support is insane
    2700
  106. Our "average infantryman"  sure has done a lot of research above his pay grade in the defense industry for us, and for that we are appreciative of our "average infantryman's" efforts and results . Thanks Chris for all you do.
    2700
  107. Gotta love it when America builds stuff based off of “hey what if on the off chance our enemies have something better than us, let’s make some dope ass shit”

  119. Just remember, in War, if you get in to a fair fight, you messed up.
    2500
  120. Um... France didn't surrender in World War One. They DID get their @$$€$ handed to them in the Franco-Prussian War, and were eager for a re-match, which we know as World War One. That re-match didn't exactly follow the French script, shall we say, but they didn't surrender.

  123. True story. I was providing overwatch with “balloon surveillance” on American troops when the ANA was taking fire in the distance. I looked around, and eventually found the source. The Taliban had mounted a DSHK to the back of a Toyota Corolla hatchback, so they could close the hatchback and hide it when they retreated. American forces eventually killed it with a PGM, but it was innovative!
    2500
  124. It now has WiFi, Bluetooth & a Ring doorbell camera. 😁

  125. This kind of unbiased, factual reporting is why I no longer watch news on the TV.

  130. Just a little correction, the law was not made for the leopards, it is technically applied to all german weapons exports. Fromm leopard down to sidearm and bullets.
    2400
  131. As a Filipino, China whining about our government allowing the US to rebuild military bases and allowing the typhon missile system within our territory again is hypocritical. They literally built military bases WITHIN our 200 nautical miles Exclusive Economic Zone complete with docks and silos. Also keep in mind, there are no foreign military bases in our archipelago decades ago, but since China is such a lovely and cuddly neighbor and due to our lack of military capability, we are inclined to ask the US for help by virtue of our alliance and to solidify the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty. What's funny is, they're asking us to remove them yet they act like pirates on our very waters. They're just giving us more reason to let the US remain. CCP little pinks and bots be like: "Oh The PhiLippIneS is StiLL a Us CoLonY" "oH Us PupPet" "Oh Ph EndAngerIng AsEaN" Cry me river for f's sake.

  134. I'm Kenyan and I can assure you our government doesn't give the slightest fuck about the situation in Haiti, it's all about political interest, and as we all know, will only benefit a specific group of people.
    2200
  135. The reason why 5.56x45 cal is being ditched by Indian Army is because of it's inability to quickly neutralize the enemy when shot at. In recent CI/CT ops at Kashmir, what IA found was that the terrorists used high dose of drugs before indulging in a firefight. This allowed them to get hit by several 556 bullets and still fire back at soldiers resulting in casualties. Similar behaviour was seen during Kargil war in 1999 when Pakistani soldiers would fire back despite being hit with 4-5 bullets. Hence the older 7.62x39 and the 7.62 NATO was brought back to service as it can cause serious damage and much quicker and surer neutralizations overall.

  140. as someone who is not necessarily the target audience for these videos, politically, man do I really love how you approach these non-US topics from a place of reserved bias. You make it clear you served and are pro-US but you still fully elaborate and give credit to non-US talking points. It is insanely refreshing.
    2100
  141. I was part of a detachment that directly responded to the incident you covered that happened in Kenya. 1: The air base you showed is not the one that was hit. The place that was attacked was much smaller and a couple km either north or south of the map you showed. 2: The Army SPC that died was killed when his unarmored SUV was directly hit by an RPG. He never fired a single shot and died in the vehicle. 3: The MARSOC dudes that responded didn’t get there for about an hour. The base they were located at was a couple miles away from the airfield. 4: The entire disaster is the sole fault of the Air Force and the incompetence of the Air Force Security Forces. The Air force people there literally abandoned their defensive positions, leaving crew served machine guns behind while they ran and hid behind a Kenyan checkpoint a mile away. Had they even tried to fight back the two pilots would still be alive.

We didn't have half the capabilities of the current versions but I always felt like an NFL team playing against JV high school. I remember being in Germany and using the thermals to count antlers on a deer at night down range. With the current optics, laser range finders, battlefield awareness, etc. I can hardly imagine how much better it is now.

  153. Its important to note that the term "Russian" Jew as used in Israel, the US, and Germany doesn't always mean actual Russian Jews. Ukrainian Jews, Azeri Jews, Moldovan Jews, Belarussian Jews, Uzbek Jews, etc are all lumped into the category of Russian Jews. Zelenesky's family is an example of this. He is from a Jewish family and his parents live in Israel. Most Ukrainian Jews didn't speak Ukrainian so ironically the parents of the President of Ukraine were probably counted in that "Russian" Jewish statistic that you quoted. The reason for this is most Jews in the Russian Empire spoke Yiddish. When Yiddish started going out of favor most Jews learned Russian and sometimes learned the local language of the land they were staying in. In Ukraine this never really happened because Russian was so widespread even among Ukrainian locals. Thats why many Jews who are from Ukraine and live around the world actually consider themselves Russian Jews. Its also important to note that just because Russian Jews have a connection to Russia that doesn't mean they feel the same warm fuzzy feelings about Russia as some other non Jewish Russians feel. It was a struggle for Jews to leave the Soviet Union and Jews had many of their rights suppressed. While the Russian Jews of today are a lot more integrated into Russian culture then their religious Yiddish speaking ancestors a lot of them will stay say they felt as if they were "alien" up until the moment they left. The modern Russian Jewish identity is extremely complex. Entire books, studies, and essays have been written about that topic. They are a group that has been influenced by rapidly changing from being distinctly Jewish to being more Russian, being influenced by the culture in the USSR which no longer exists, and being influenced by becoming large diasporas in Israel, Germany, and the US. Sadly the unique circumstances that created them no longer exist. So its unlikely this identity will survive this century. Russian Jews are really a great case study for comparing how nationality, ethnicity, and religion influence hoe we identify ourselves.

  155. As an Iranian I would like to thank you for finally correcting the whole “democratically elected” thing for Mossadegh. On the other hand there were some quite large mistakes for example, the shah was not installed by America after the fall of Mossadegh. He was already king. As you mentioned Mossadegh was appointed. Well he was appointed by the king. In Persian the word “shah” means king. Also please stop calling Pahlavi, “Pawell” 😂❤

  167. Hello. Iranian from inside Iran here( internets back up on a limited scale) . I feel the need to mention something. In regards to people fed up with the sanctions and their effects on the commoner, I ve seen two major mindsets so far. One with people seeing the west as the ultimate tyrant, aiming to spread distrust between people and their "caring " government only to cause the downfall of the regime by turning the people on their " protectors " holding every action committed by the regime so far to be justifiable one way or another. The other mindset sees the sanctions as rational and expected reactions of a foreign world our leaders and politicians have been purposefully aggrevating, so they can feed off the reactions by portraying them as unprovoked warmongers ( as all oppressive systems need an obligatory sworn enemy, most may resort to creating one. And given the history, theres none better than the us. ) the second group believes if it werent for the radical views of the regime along with the belief they were god's destined few to lead the world to the truth( actual propaganda) we wouldnt have casted our selves out from the world. So the regime needs to change. Recent protests in iran are being held by the second group, with the regime supporting the heavily outnumbered first group. The clips you see on iranian national TV( FULLY regime controlled) are of the first group. The recent protests( captured on phones mostly) show the second group. Theres a lot more detail I can get into but this comments already pretty long.

  177. I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam 1968-69. The NVA had some serious AA weapons that they dragged down from the North over muddy dirt roads and trails. It was impressive how tenacious they were. During the Tet Offensive, they even managed to bring down SAM's which caught the US by surprise and changed CAS tactics. I learned many lessons that year. One of the more important is to never underestimate the enemy's ability to surprise you and hit you hard when you least expected (e.g., the Tet Offensive caught everyone off guard and the NVA/Viet Cong came damn close to achieving their objective. Personally, I'd like to see more emphasis on making everything as stealth/difficult to detect. I read recently that Russia has developed an new material for their uniforms to dramatically reduces a person's IR signature. Our close in helicopters need a lot more stealth and built-in defenses against missiles, jamming, etc. I can relate to your comment about trouble getting a resupply of AA batteries. In Vietnam, my platoon had one 1st generation starlight scope. It couldn't be used 80% of the time because their special batteries were rarely in the supply chain. You'd laugh at some of the stone age technologies we had back then. One was the seismic intrusion device. It was a receiver (requiring batteries) and 6 sensors identified by 1, 2, or 3 and 4,5 and 6 dots on top. The idea was in an ambush, you put 3 sensors along both sides of a trail. Theoretically, as the enemy walked down the trail, they would set off the first sensor with one beep on the receiver. As they got closer, they'd set off the second sensor with gave 2 beeps in the receiver. And then they would set off the nearest sensor with 3 beeps. The problem was that the artillery were firing H&I all night setting off all the sensors at once plus critters coming down the trail would set them off as well. I'm 75 now. I've been impressed with the high speed, low drag equipment the soldiers and Marines were using in the Middle East; including the Men in Black sunglasses. By comparison, in Vietnam we looked more like survivors from the Bataan death march with our mostly WW II and Korean War equipment. Our uniforms would literally rot off. Due to terrain, weather, and enemy; resupply was a roll of the dice and so one C-Ration had to last 2-3 days. Water was from wherever we could find it. Throw in 3-4 purification tables and ignore the smell and you were good to go. Some C-Rations were marked 1945 though most were made in the 1950's. Anyway, I enjoy your commentary. Might be interesting to occasionally do a "then and now" comparison. It will make you feel a lot better about what you had and what is coming.

  180. something that is much more staggering than the actually 15-30% taken off the top is the fact that a LOT of Russian equipment is aging and requires the scheduled maintenance. If funds are redirected that need to go towards fixing up a 40 year old tank then that tank essentially becomes a piece of garbage... so now it's not 50k USD that is stolen, it also amounts to a 5 million dollar tank being rendered useless due to it's redirection of required maintenance funds.

  193. I seen the Russian video about why the engine was placed at the back of vehicle, the main reason is to cross over tranches, front heavy vehicle will stuck while crossing, so they decided to put it in the back. And infantry shouldn't be inside during battle so it doesn't matter where doors are placed. It is basically build for WWII battles in mind, like everything in soviet doctrine.
    1700
  194. As a Ukrainian I can say that, while USA may have its own reasons to act how it acts, we are still grateful for all the help and support America sent. Not to mention that the quality of US/European equipment is incomparable to the old soviet metal scrap Ukraine and Russia were operating. So god bless America!
    1700
  195. I feel extremely bad for the citizens of Afghanistan as well as for the US service members who have fought so diligently there for the past twenty years. It is time the American public makes a fuss over these wasteful interventions that have ended up leaving these countries worse off than when we first arrived in them. Our second time abandoning people who trusted us with their lives in half a century, this is not a good look for the US.

  197. Brit here. These are, in my opinion, the main issues we have with defence: - An incredibly wasteful procurement process. Far too much spend with far too little to show for it. AHEM, AJAX. - A lack of mass. In the number of platforms, stockpiles, our active and reserve forces, we don't have enough. 148 Challenger 3's is a joke. - A lack of continuity. Even with the war in Ukraine very clearly demonstrating to us that industrial scale warfare is still very much in fashion, we have still been slow to recapitalise our DIB and provide the long term guarantees (ie, contracts) required to get the cogs of industry turning once again - Lazy recruitment. Delegating recruitment to Capita (a private company) is a dereliction of duty - Widespread complacency. Peace is taken for granted and the need for readiness is dismissed. Hell, when the government announced that it would be testing a nationwide alert system, there was widespread panic about "warmongering". People need to understand and accept that we live in a more dangerous world, and that we need to be prepared.
    1700
  198. About the Indonesia proverbs... "Rice has turned into porridge" means something important has happened and it's irreversible. "There's prawn hiding behind rock" means there's ulterior motive behind sweet words and gifts "Tigers die because of their stripes" I actually haven't heard of this one. The closest one I think is "when elephant dies, it leaves tusk, when tiger dies, it leaves stripes", which means when one leaves, retires, or passes away, they would be remembered by their past achievements.
    1700
  199. As an Iranian, I feel obligated to say something to what you have said. The Iranian border is patrolled by the police, not the armed forces. Conscripts fought and died in this fight. In Iran, young men must serve in the armed forces for a minimum of two years. These 2 troops had no combat experience and were both under the age of 20.

  204. I was a gunner on the platoon leaders tank. It’s all about target acquisition and not presenting a silhouette. Sights are mounted on top of the turret so the tank can be hidden yet the gunner can still identify and lock onto a target. Move forward to clear the barrel fire and return. With thermals troops and vehicles can be identified.

I heard of oil and gas in the Black Sea as well, not far from Crimea. I've only recently begun learning about the economic aspects of Ukraine, and I've been stunned.

  219. FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS COVERED THIS I AM AN EGYPTIAN AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES FOR SOMEONE TO FINALLY COVER THIS STORY SA’KA 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 My thoughts: This video covers the topic very well from a non-biased point of view. However it only covers operation sinai and operation eagle, it does not cover the history of islamists and the egyptian people. This is a story that spans back to the 1900s Here are some points that the video overlooked. Morsi was not “affiliated” with the islamic brotherhood or associated with them. He was THE islamic brotherhood. His administration was essentially the islamic brotherhood. When morsi took power the country was almost crippled, christians being massacred on facebook left and right, all development ceased, nothing was running anymore. Churches and mosques being blown up in “the name of allah”. Children being thrown of rooftops. Even prior to morsi, after mubarak’s fall the islamists had opened up every single prison in egypt, we were following iraq’s story bit by bit. Egypt was the wild west between mubarak and morsi, during morsi it was the sharia abiding diddy party. The people never wanted morsi in power, and the military did not want the islamists in power. So the military hand in hand with the people overthrew morsi. I remember when i was a child during the riots against morsi, i was kidnapped during one but my dad and family took me back from my captors. God knows what would have happened to me. I remember we had my sister’s volkswagen and id be sitting on the roof of the car waving an egyptian flag amidst all the chaos, it really was a chaotic time. When the riots ended and el sisi took power, a complete shift against the islamists happened. We were gangbanging islamists everywhere from sinai, to the western desert, east and west europe (clandestine GIS operations) until today where they squirm like worms in the dirt. This is a war on every front, military, economic, political, and even cyber. This was a masterclass in counter-terrorism Edit: some updates on the islamist situation in egypt Islamists have planted their way of thinking into almost everybody, they have corrupted islam as a religion. Unfortunately everybody subscribes to at least one or two of their ideas without even knowing it (thank you sheikh al-azhar for being a certified cuck) Economically they control much of the businesses and money in egypt. The thing about the muslim brotherhood is that half of them are not devout muslims. There are rich boujee billionares who put diddy to shame that are affiliated with the brotherhood. Its just an organization that exists to destroy this nation. They run many of the big businesses in egypt and control most of the money, their competitor is the military in all markets Politically, its complicated. Islamists hold almost no political power here in egypt except for one slight change as of this year. The newly appointed minister of education (Mr mohamed abdel latif) is the founder of a prestigious school called nermein ismail. This school is also associated with islamist ideologies and generally hosts many islamist teachers and graduates. He himself is an islamist i am very sure of this. Especially when he cancelled philosophy as a subject for high school. I don’t know who appointed this guy, but i hope they know what they’re doing. Militarily? Oh our eagles are soaring waiting for one slip up. One slip up and BOOM we get to test the new SIGs we got last year. Im genuinely waiting for them to try something.
    1600
  220. Vlad Vexler made an absolutely spot-on video about this and I highly recommend it. By the way, "water in missiles" is a mistake in translation. There is corruption with military officials and soldiers stripping materials from rockets, but they're not necessarily literally putting water in the rockets. Saying something is filled with water is a Chinese way of saying something is out of order, usually due to corruption. It's like when Americans say something has "shit the bed" when it breaks. Not meant to necessarily be taken literally.

  221. I did it in 1971 before going to Vietnam as a helo crew member. It was very physical and punishing. It started with hunger and fatigue and ended with pain and abuse. I had a small box to call home with a can for your business. Late at night were interrogations that included water boarding and super small boxes. Plenty of gun fire and screaming enemy (instructors). Plenty of bruises and scrapes and sleep deprivation for everyone. And a LOT of psychological crap. The end of the exercise was cool...we were all lined up in the prison camp courtyard to bow to the Camp commander but instead the American flag was raised on a pole and we knew the exercise was done. They fed us hot sweet oatmeal. The best food I have ever tasted! I was 19 years old then and now, 50 years later, I can remember it in perfect detail.

  222. A family friend of mine was a prominent member of DDG-1000s design team, and this was pretty much his life’s work. It crushed him to see Zumwalt squandered because of conflicting philosophies demanded by the CNOs. I was invited to DDG-1000’s commissioning in Baltimore and it truly was a spectacle. Something I’ll never forget.

They ended up scaring me into joining the guard after I ETSed. At the time, they were calling up inactive reserve personnel to fill gaps in the guard. The prospect of being recalled and deploying with the national guard was scary AF.

  230. Effectively the Marine Corps is a specialist force made up of a generalist type of soldier whereas the Army is a generalist force made up of specialist units. Every Marine is nominally capable of filling out as infantry even though they are a pilot or a waterdog in contrast to the Army which has several different units that specialize in different aspects of warfare like the Airborne or the 10th Mountain Brigade.

  237. The reason the Malyuk is probably better in the end is because the quality control was much higher than the AK-12 project which saw several delays, corruption investigations, and eventually toned down many of the promised features in favor of just getting something new out the door. If the AK-12 base can be improved upon I think it might match the Malyuk but as it stands the AK-12 is just more general purpose than oddly the rifle it was meant to replace, the Alpha AK, which is more of a competitor to the Malyuk.
    1500
  238. I got into country right after this. I always thought that we should have treated Iraq like we handled Korea, especially post-war. Unlike Afghanistan, Iraq was actually a nation, and stood a good chance of becoming and remaining stable after our departure.

  239. As someone who grew up in Taiwan, you got the population center backward… Most of the population lives on the Western part of the island, that’s primarily plains and hills, while the Eastern part is where it’s less densely populated with big mountains (I’ve driven on them.. they are quite steep), trees and vines. 😊

Here in Ukraine, we get a bit irritated (when we have electricity to see it), when someone on the Internet says that targeting aircrafts that try to bomb us into the stone age is "escalation". I see what you wanted to say and I see your comments, but that just resonates badly with me here in Lviv. We never asked for this. We are defending. We don't want any of Russian land - we just want to stay alive and want them to get out of our country. That was so from day 1. No escalation - we are totally inside our military doctrine for this war)

  247. I can give you a real good reason to use artillery instead of JDAMS…. Authorization for an artillery strike requires authorization from an O-4 and arrives on target in 1 to 3 minutes and nothing will stop it. If you need to put a JDAM down, first you need to get a jet allocated to your mission which is an O-6 or O-7 authority, then you need to validate your position and the position of the enemy, then the pilot needs to confirm your position and the enemies, then he can drop… “But muh JTAC.” The jets on his card are assets allocated to a region but not specifically chopped to you (unless your tier-1 and maybe not then). When you’re in a TIC and CAS is a good option you radio back to the armor, bust out your Controller or TACP, who starts doing his thing. Total time is 10 minutes for best case, but could easily be 30+ minutes, and if the jets get weathered or the tanker has a mechanical issue they may never arrive at all. I’m not putting the Air Force on blast, I’m in the Air Force, but CAS is a Ferrari and sometimes it’s nice to have a good old fashioned Toyota Camry.

  253. I appreciate that you're encouraging your audience to respect the Chinese military. In the past, we've underestimated Asian countries and paid for it with lives (Japan and Vietnam, specifically). They're smart. Definitely smart enough to realize that they would be unlikely to build something from scratch and expect it to do as well as tested designs, so they copy. Their lack of experience, too, will become less important if a war happens. Do not forget that upon entering WWI and WWII, the US was incredibly green and had equipment and tactics horribly unprepared for what they would face, but within a year, we were doing fine. Same will go for China.

  261. This seems like a pretty crazy tank. "Too bad" (or fortunately, depending on perspective) it's just gonna end up abandoned in the mud, without fuel or crew, because it lacks logistic support.
    1400
  262. A few thoughts from an ex-tanker. - While there are advantages to a 3 man crew, perhaps a 4th man to watch the skies is more important than ever. Not in combat operations, but merely going down a road, etc. - If the optionally manned turret keeps the gunner in the hull, he loses his auxiliary sight, which might be all he has if the main sight gets hit. He likely also loses access to the charging handle for the coax, if there's a stoppage. - I hope the optionally manned turret means the TC can ride up top except for when under fire. The situational awareness from up top cannot be easily replaced with periscopes and cameras - I think the 30mm upgrade is a huge step forward. For whatever reason, the Bradley has been much more successful in Ukraine, and I attribute a lot of that to the its 25mm and its rapid rate of fire. - I think the weight reduction is a great move - IMHO any active protection system should be modular and "bolt on" so it can be easily upgraded as drone capabilities change.

  269. I think a big part is that UA showed their mettle. Remember even America thought Kyiv would fall in a week. The preparations were for a guerilla war like Afghanistan. All of a sudden Ukraine needed stuff to fight a stand up war, not an insurgency. That the US could ship as much as it has across an ocean and half a continent is often over looked. No one else has that kind of reach and it costs. If you'll look you see the US has slowly been escalating deliveries. This way makes it hard for outside parties to condemn the new weapons because Russian atrocities and brutality now make it seem appropriate. Just an angle I think you might not have looked as closely as.

  270. I was a BMP1 driver, here is my experience: BMP is not a tank, it has not made for fighting, it was made to transport infantry to the front line as fast as possible and cover them for a while if necessary. So it is basically just for fast transportation or a hit and run weapon if anything. Crossing lakes and rivers is surprisingly safe, some leaks here and there but nothing that could be dangerous even in half an hour, so that never was a concern. I have never experienced that nose-heaviness, never stuck anywhere because of that, so that was not a concern either. Our concerns were: the fuel tank in the middle of the crew space between the seats, that made everyone VERY uneasy, the additional fuel tanks in the doors at the back, that are either filled with fuel so then the vehicle is completely unable to get into action or filled with sand that make the whole design useless, the tracks tend to dislocate at sharp turns on hard, frozen and uneven ground, the protective grille around the tower inside the vehicle could catch gears, weapons or limbs of inattentive soldiers sitting by it, thus not cause not only damages and injuries but also interrupts the turning of the tower and last but not least, the ridiculously weak armour. The best chance for a BMP to survive in an actively hostile enviroment is to keep on moving very fast so the enemy cannot deliver a hit, or to hide behind cover. It was nicked "Bunny Bus" since the infantry was just called "rabbits" :)

  280. The definition of "high intensity combat" is resource utilization that exceeds maintenance capability. IOW, high intensity combat means that the combatant is wearing down/sacrificing its own capacity to fight. Which is acceptable if the tradeoff is sacrifice in exchange for important objectives achieved. BUT if objectives aren't achieved, high intensity combat leaves the attacker vulnerable to a counter strike.

  281. The M27 is to the M4 like the RPK is to the AK. The Ruskies realised that magazine interchangeabililty and weight savings were much more important than sheer volume of fire. That and they got to reduce training time and cost as well as saving costs in manufacfuring.

  288. The ending of the movie Lord of War sums it up nicely, just replace guns with mercs: "I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of those men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year... sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So... you call me evil. But unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil. "

  290. An amphibious landing these days would be even more difficult than back in WWII. Today there are long-range anti-ship missiles. The range of such missiles can reach all the way from Taiwan to China. Troop transport/ferry ships have no significant missile defense, and would depend on any nearby destroyers and cruisers to provide defense. Given the size of these troop transport/ferries, losing just a few of them would result in tremendous losses. Taiwan currently has some anti-ship missiles, and has recently signed agreements to obtain more. But, they seriously need to build up a larger arsenal. Also, Taiwan needs WAY more anti-air and anti-missile capabilities. I believe that any invasion by mainland China would start with a truly epic barage of long-range missiles launched from the mainland to knock out as much of Taiwan's defensive capabilities as they can, so a robust defense of Taiwan starts with robust anti-air & anti-missile capability. Combine that with robust anti-ship missile batteries, lots of sea mines, plus a bunch of anti-tank weapons, such as Javelin, to deal with any that manage to land, and Taiwan's existing land army should be sufficient to deal with any infantry that manage to land.

  293. The biggest thing I dislike about “America spends so much more then everyone” is it assumes expenditures are the same. A dollar goes a lot farther in other countries. When you account for this difference, America spends about as much as Russia and China combined. Which makes sense, because they build their military to fight a two front war against… Russia and China

  294. I served two tours on the DMZ in South Korea during the 1990s. Every year at this time Operation Team Spirit is held which is a military exercise that prepare allied forces to defend S. Korea from an attack by the north. During the preparation phase/build up to the exercise North Korea claims that the U.S./South Korea is preparing to invade them and starts rattling their sabers and issuing threats. This happens every single year.

  295. Fun fact - Back in 1980 a friend of the family worked at the Warren Tank Plant (Detroit Tank Arsenal) where the first Chrysler Abrams XM-1s were produced (Suck it, Lima). He invited us to their "open house" where 14yr old me got to see a XM-1 do ungoverned 70mph laps around their test track. Pretty cool how the ground shook when it went by. I got bounced around in the back of a M113 too. That was a very fun day.

  297. I can give you some insight to Special Forces and why we use the M-4. I’m retired now, but spent some time with the AUG since I was an 18B. Part of it is muscle memory, we all came from big Army and transitioning to an M4A1 over an M4 or M16 was a natural. The trigger on the AUG was terrible, it made a 1970s kid’s cap gun feel good. The optic was basically hated, as with the M4 we could put whatever optic we wanted on it, ACOG, EOTech, Aimpoint, LPVO, or anything else that you can think of, and we got pretty much what we wanted. Also, the M4 is more modular and has rails everywhere, adding a light or PEQ-15 was stupid simple. There was also a supply line issue, if we needed magazines for example we could get them from big Army, Marines, or whoever else was around us. The AUG just never evolves into anything that we found particularly useful, and we had very good reliability with our M4s. All of that being said, I do have an AUG in my personal collection, and I like it, but it spends a lot more time in the safe than my AR variants.

  299. I think that there is another level of benefit to systems like these. They are allowing the military to utilize skills trained almost from birth into just about every young person... video games. You get to have soldiers used to ammo counters, GPS waypoints and directions, marked objectives, a hud that marks friendly positions and stops friendly fire from being as much of an issue.

  307. The greatest lesson here is that one should never underestimate one’s enemy. I remember last year when everybody was making fun of Russia, saying they had already lost the war. The expectations of this counteroffensive were through the roof because they were based on the assumption that the Russian army was weak and inferior. The West also has this same mindset with regard to China, and so we have to be cautious here too.

  315. I don't think this backpack would be practical for most patrols, especially on foot. BUT... I think it could be really, really useful for sentry duties and defending long-term, fortified positions. In such cases, the soldier would be less exposed to situations where they might get caught on things, or where they would need to split ammo. Basically, I think that the backpack is best suited to any situation where food/water and other basic survive-the-night needs are taken care of, and where the soldier knows the terrain and the terrain and its obstacles are unlikely to change. Otherwise, I think the conventional method would be better.

As far as purpose built fighting vehicle, I actually think that is perhaps the best one I have seen you review.

That is a vehicle you could adapt US fighting doctrine around without ignoring the core concepts. I am impressed.

  323. Military R&D is rarely wasted. Even when it doesn't produce a product, it provides technical and scientific knowledge. You hit the nail on the head about the Future Combat System. It wasn't really failed. They came up with a concept they thought would be great, did a lot of research to see if and how it could be done, and then realized that the technology doesn't exist yet, but it will in the future. I will bet you money that there were people whose jobs were to keep on top of novel technologies, keep referencing the old designs, and submit a report when they thought it had become viable.

  327. Comparing the "Lie Flat" idea to "Quiet Quitting" is correct. Saying it's trying to be "more comfortable" is not. It's an expression of the realization that hard work no longer translates to personal success. Chinese lying flat frequently do not have comfortable lives, they stop trying because working hard wasn't materially improving their situation. For example, there was a recent incident with dozens of nurses at a hospital threatening to all jump from the windows because they haven't received their pay in over 6 months. We are talking trained/educated professionals working without pay for half a year. If that kind of hard work is rewarded by getting stiffed, it's no wonder people lie flat.

Aircraft carriers allow a handful of countries to place an air force basically anywhere in the world, meaning that handful of countries has a massive advantage in almost any conflict. Yes, it's possible for aircraft carriers to be sunk, just as it's possible for helicopters to be shot down, tanks to be blown up, and infantrymen to be shot. Doesn't mean any of them are "obsolete".

All that said this Criminal Gang "TDA" Tren de Aragua is formed by the worst of the worst type of criminals and it really makes me sad and angry that because of stupid immigration laws they managed to make their way into a such an Amazing and Beautiful country like the US! All my family lives in North Carolina and I have heard from my relatives that there is TDA presence around Raleigh, NC already, which is INSANE! We left Venezuela once Chavez took power and to avoid the crime and corruption that followed so to me it is almost unreal that the US population had fallen victim to this Criminal Gang! I really hope that the US Government & Law Enforcement agencies take the "TDA" Seriously and take immediate action in order to guarantee the safety and well being of all its citizens!

  353. According to sources Cappy is undergoing surgery to have M1919 picatinny rails and M-LOK slots added to his arms and legs for increased modularity.

  354. Lesson one: you can't fight companied arms warfare without combained arms Lesson two: you can't just run through minefields with tanks and without mineclearing equipment Lesson three: you can't go on offensive without proper airforce for offensive of this level
    955
  355. Truth to be told .. NLAW, Stinger , star strek and javelin are truly game changers .. the situation turned out to be like where a highly motivated Ukrainian fighting for his independence needed very capable weapon and he got what he wanted ..
    950
  356. woah they made everyones least favorite shotgun in modern warfare a real thing!!
    950
  357. Chris, your self-deprecating humor is, at once, hilarious and easy-going. Love your content.
    943
  358. As a Lebanese I'm impressed by the quality of this video. The facts are on point and you managed to tackle a tangled mess of a subject and turn it into an understandable 15' vid. I tip you my hat
    943
  359. Q: "Why spend to upgrade the F-22 when that $$ could be spent on the NGAD?" A: Because then we'll have upgraded F-22s AND NGAD.
    937
  360. Not much more to say man, you're an inspiration. I'm glad you're back safe, and I hope the best for you and your family. The kind of reporting you do is of greater quality then any major news network in the world. You have set an example that, unfortunately, not many will be able to follow. Thank you for what you do.
    934
  361. “Now that she’s got hot” No Chris, she’s always been hot.
    934
  362. Also do a video On the ACR and why it was never adopted

  363. The Marine Corps basically uses this as their primary arm now lol
    922
  364. it was actually the french that first used chemical warfare the Germans just made it lethal
    921
  365. Cappy, I think this video marks the first time you've correctly said the word "nuclear"! Good job, Cappy!
    919
  366. Ancient tanker here ... If the booker is going to follow current doctrine, I'd guess you're going to see them used in pairs (that's heavy armor doctrine) for mutual support. Beyond that, the wide open spaces of Ukraine isn't the target environment for light infantry. By doctrine, that's where you use heavy BCTs (ie M1 & M2). In all reality, the M10 is a small step up from a towed direct fire cannon. Its really there to help the crunchies eliminate targets that require more humph than a grenade launcher. Its not design to take on heavy armored vehicle (although historically commanders always seem to want to use that way). I will say that not having it as airdroppable seem to minimize its usefulness doctrinally with forced entry being the 82nd primary reason for existing....
    917
  367. "It's a bit slower, but still effective" Just like Cappy?
    917
  368. Belgium’s with a secret deal for chocolate and waffles

  371. First time I ever donate to a youtuber, but you fucking earned it. PS, use it to buy something nice for your wife, she's the true hero for letting you go on the trip.
    889
  372. I like how US planers just ignored civilian drones during planning just because US don’t use them😂
    883
  373. Did my thesis on this exact subject in 2016. You nailed it all. From tonnage displacement, the Liaonang being outdated, the Malaka straight and 9 dash line. You presented all of this so well in a short amount of time that took me some 120 pages haha.
    882
  374. That's sort of unfair to the Maxim. If you have a fortified position, it prevents you from having to change the barrel in sustained fire. Not saying the Maxim is not outdated, but in this specific instance, where flexibility isn't as necessary, a general purpose machine gun might actually be a minor disadvantage
    882
  375. When the military needs money. They will end up using microtransactions and pop up advertisements or local hot girls near you.
    874
  376. They’ve been using Maxims since the start of the war. For stationary positions, Maxims are excellent, water cooled MG’s go forever. Doesn’t matter if they’re old. We still use the Ma Deuce, and that thing is nearly just as ancient.
    872
  377. I wasn’t expecting this from you Cappy, thanks for talking about my country. Unfortunately, narcos and this problems are not the first priority of our government due to the deep connections they have in almost every sphere of it
    870
  378. We love unhinged Military plans
    868
  379. Can i have phased plasma rifles in the 40 watt range please
    861
  380. I like the fact that Cappy says in a battle rifle "trigger feel" isnt the big deal so many people make it out to be. They are not doing the olympics.... Maneuverability, weight and hitting power are what count on a battle rifle (and of course durability / reliability)
    853
  381. Man watching you break down each tactic and event in the war is so interesting. I've always enjoyed military history so learning the small things helps bring it all together.
    851
  382. Chris, as an Aussie working in our Defence industry, I must say this is one of the most capable reviews of our Defence posture I have seen. We are usually resigned to seeing external (particularly US) commentary in which it is nigh-on impossible to recognize ourselves, so well done on some accurate, succinct, and very high quality journalism indeed. Best from Downunder, Marc.
    851
  383. Depending on the theater between 60%-80% of deployed personnel are civilian contractors who are exempt from filing any health claims for burn pits. It would have to be done through the Base Defense Act and as of to date not a single claim has been approved. After the military "banned" burn pits they most certainly did not stop using them but moved the burn pit right off base so technically there was no burn pits on military bases but that lovely black smoke of burning batteries and every type of plastic item imaginable covered the base, and it was always fun when ammunition and explosives some how always found their way into a burn pit. I can recall 50+ times off ammunition cooking off or a massive explosion rocking the base, thought we were under attack and got hit by a car bomb and then come to find out a AT4 or something else that was left behind and not checked ended up in the burn pit.
    850
  384. Nothing is obsolete when you aim for the face
    849
  385. When I was in Special Forces we often joked that we’re like the Peace Corps only with cool guns and explosives. As for SEALs and their outsize reputation, SEALs have an extra line on their dog tags, it’s for their biographers. Just kidding about that one.
    847
  386. Hi mate, fantastic to see you cover this topic. Corruption in militaries isn't the most discussed topic - but the impact on capability and readiness is significant. If you ever decide to come back to the topic or anything like it, feel free to get in touch - I have a decent stock of documents and stories that I gathered when preparing my look at the topic that I couldn't cover, even in a 60 minute time. Ditto if you ever want to look at at another nation or get a procurement/industry centric view on the issue.
    845
  387. A few things to remember. While the Russians might have 150,000 troops only 25-30% are the tip of the spear..They are armor heavy which means a big logistical tail of soft trucks and conscripts. So the Russians don’t have a 3:1 offensive to defense ratio as the Ukraines aren’t structured for advancing a axis of advance they have a much smaller tail. I think the next few days will tell you a lot. If Russia fail to meet its objectives or gets bogged down then things will get ugly for Russians. Time will tell
    841
  388. Oldest problem in military history: river crossings. Still hard after all these centuries.
    837
  389. The Thomson submachine gun: aka The Annihilator 1, aka M1928A1, aka The Chicago Typewriter, aka The Heater, aka The Trench Broom, aka The Chicago Piano and aka The Tommy Gun. You'd think that a weapon with so many supercool nicknames would still be in service.
    835
  390. On S-400 you've missed the point that Greece, a NATO ally, already uses S-300. Same point applies to that one as well, Russia personnel can leak radar data to Russia.
    834
  391. Hey Cappy I wanna say I love these longer, more critical dives into contemporary military topics that you've been doing more lately. So refreshing to hear someone with experience in the military recognise that while these are complex issues, there are clearly problems with the military industrial complex and the way it is intertwined with government. Keep it up!
    834
  392. Lol Operation metro
    832
  393. First time commenting on your video after watching you for a solid 2 years. I just wanted to say i have so much respect for you from 🇨🇦 with love
    830
  394. Outstanding, thanks for being willing to travel to Ukraine and report on what's going on there. I loved your channel before, love it even more now!
    827
  395. Cappy trying to pronounce Azerbaijan... Confused ungabunga.
    827
  396. while i believe no rifle will get picked, i really hope they use this ammunition concept to improve ammunition in existing weapons.
    825
  397. 71 Leopards?! Really? That's hardly two armored regiments or battalions! It's delusional thinking to believe that just two armored regiments can be the spearhead of a strategic counter-offensive.
    824
  398. Cappy is clearly still salty about Textron not letting him to shoot their new gun.😂
    822
  399. "The CIA is probably laughing at those who thought they had anything to do with this." That's just the kind of thing CIA would say.
    820
  400. What Happened to Russia's New Stealth Bomber? Russia: Yes.
    817
  401. the Textron would be a nightmare to dissemble
    817
  402. I live in France. One day a few months back, I saw a bunch of AMX 10's lined up along a rail yard. I said to myself: "They're on their way!"
    813
  403. Story #7: In 1986, Dutch Schaefer, the leader of an elite paramilitary rescue team on a mission to save hostages in guerrilla-held territory in a Central American rainforest, who encounter a deadly Predator... Dutch was the only man to survive the deadly encounter and fled on a helicopter. Unfortunately the Predator returned to California years later to wreak havoc on the streets of LA.
    811
  404. If you're complaining about the recoil just remember, the guy you're shooting at has more of an excuse to complain than you.
    808
  405. The only possible way of making the thumbnail better is if chris had those gleaming anime eyes lol.
    807
  406. One important points that wasnt mentioned. HK is one of the very few companies that can actually fullfill a conctruct of 100k rifles in a reasonable time
    805
  407. Nice work Cappy! This is very well done. Way better than the garbage I've seen on the media.
    804
  408. i have always thought that our short sighted politicians should spend more time engaging with Mexico, a country that is very similar to us in history and culture, and not china.
    803
  409. Carried the M27 in Afghanistan. It slaps. You can use it as a shitty dmr, and I never had it jam. Also way easier to clean
    802
  410. I’ve actually gotten to experience the ENVG’s in a course out on by PEO Soldier. It’s crazy the difference. It’s like cheating at warfare. With a PEQ box and the ENVG’s, first round hits on a 300 m target from standing from the hip. With an M249 and the TWS Optic, first round hits at 700 m. And being able to link the HUD to your optic? It’s insane. You forget that where your head points isn’t where the weapon points anymore so you wind up looking in a different direction while the gun hasn’t moved. With smoke and night, the ENVG’s make it barely noticeable. And being able to change between night, thermal, fusion, and line mode makes it so much more versatile. You can’t hide in the night anymore. Less so now
    801
  411. If they don't make the Splinter Cell night vision goggle activation sound when they turn on, they're not worth it.
    799
  412. It's actually really cool to see Chris Cappy challenging and re-evaluating his own opinions and taking new perspectives onboard.
    799
  413. "I already know what I´m getting my dad for fathers day this year". I would just like to point out how dissapointed I was when you didn´t say a M777 after that. :(
    797
  414. Thank you for being honest about being a former drug user. I am a recovering alcoholic and coming out publicly is very honorable. And thank you for the Serenity Prayer 🙏
    796
  415. Nice cappy, i recognize that smile you have. Thats the "I dont know why im doing this but im glad im here" smile.
    791
  416. Over the years, I've watched Cappy go from a tactics-focused grunt talking about individual weapons systems to a full military analyst intelligently engaging in debates about escalation and foreign policy (behold the use of "overton window"). For some reason, I'm really proud of him and how much he's grown as an analyst over the years.
    790
  417. Oh shit the capitol the under siege-nvm cappy uploaded
    787
  418. i'd imagine this wouldn't be used to replace any armored vehicles but rather be given to units that would be walking otherwise. They wouldn't have been armored anyways but now they are way quicker.
    787
  419. That bit about where the war will be its a big mystery made me laugh but in a guilty sort of way, Which makes it that much funnier. The fact that might be a reality in our lifetimes is scary even if you are on the Russian side. Wars like that cause issues for everyone. Well all we can do is laugh for now so thanks for that.
    786
  420. Ex Coastie counter narc here, you would be surprised what we know. The entire "theater" is observed. The near subs have been used for decades. LEDET 7L! The Navy tried to give the USCG their hydrofoil fleet years ago (in the Florida Keys), we couldn't afford to run them so turn them down.
    786
  421. The machine gun makes perfect sense. It's light and you get way more firepower. The rifle though only makes sense in a dmr sense, "maybe" its meant for distance but follow up shots with such recoil is unlikely to he successful. PS. Hilarious that we give billions of dollars to foreign countries but people act like new weapons for OUR military is so expensive.
    784
  422. Despite all the jokes, coast guard is a significant part of our border security and should be given more support.

    781
  425. Rheinmetall is not just "a major manufacturer of 155mm shells" - they are the manufacturer of 155mm shells: According to some estimates, they will produce more 155mm shells in 2024 than the entire USA (about 400-500k). In the following years, they plan to expand to 1M/year, but at that point, the USA will be further ahead at around 2M-3M.
    780
  426. the music is a little too loud compared to your voice, just a little critic
    779
  427. Considering virtually all modern conflicts are a joint fight, Marines don’t need to duplicate assets and capabilities unless it supports ‘first to fight’ until the joint force arrives
    774
  428. Everyone is talking about how the rifle isnt a short stroke piston while im wondering what kind of wacky bionicle mounts for NVGs theyre rocking
    766
  429. The tank response to drones and guided AT munitions is the APS and computer controlled AA MG (or even a fuse detonated frag from the 125mm). Armata having even a small radar combined with automatic fire control systems makes countering drones far more feasible. The Armata isn't so much about having tanks on the ground now but having a chassis that has the capability to house 50 years of upgrades capable of adapting to threats that 1980s chassis can't because they lack the automation to react to current and future threats fast and accurately enough.
    764
  430. As someone who has extensive knowledge about WWII, I feel obligated to tell you that your analogy at 19:30 is factually wrong. Yes, the decision to cut off oil exports to Japan (which was a joint American/British decision after Japan broke their word and occupied Vietnam, which was then a French colony, thus putting them within striking range of British and Dutch holdings in SE Asia) did lead the Japanese to conclude that war was inevitable, but the notion that they thought the U.S. would resume oil shipments after attacking the Pacific Fleet is asinine. In fact, the Japanese military's overarching strategy was to capture what is today Indonesia, which is a major oil producer, in order to negate the effects of the oil embargo. Pearl Harbor was attacked so that the fleet stationed there would be unable to sail out and interfere with Japan's southern advance, not to force America to end the oil embargo.
    763
  431. The total war concept was taken in yugoslavia. In case of an invasion, everyone and their grandma was supposed to have a firearm, and because we don't have enough Frontline army to resist an occupation, the idea was to attrition them down heavily, whilst small professional army starts making gains. The idea is to discourage invasion due to super high costs
    763
  432. I'm really happy to see the military investing in large improvements to body armor like this. While they've been looking at advancements in small arms and HUDs, armor seemed like it was getting ignored. If they could make a vest system with higher coverage and rifle-rated protection, along with this helmet, that would be a massive upgrade in protection for our troops.
    761
  433. Very nice overview of the F-117 but I was disappointed that you didn't mention its capability to deploy a team of special ops troops onto a 747 while in flight.
    760
  434. "The enemy gets a vote too" As a great man once said … "I love Democracy".
    760
  435. I was very irritated when the Canadian preper referred to you as a court jester because of your interpretation of how the war is going, he is very pro Russian. I find it quite refreshing that you present clear and well researched information.
    760
  436. More of this yes.
    756
  437. North Korea is always angry
    754
  438. Cappy's killing me already with that AAR: "-What was supposed to happen: Win-. What actually happened: Blyat". That was simply excellent.
    754
  439. There is up side that isn't really mentioned. Its small af. You're driving down the road, you pass a van, boom surprise! Whole ass British Armour was parked behind it! That bush? British Armour. That rock? British Armour. Your Mother? Nah, British Armour. Really good for ambushes or sneaky pushes. Perfect for recon, and interception. Such as intercepting supply lines.

  443. Cappy: Headlines calling this a "Breakthrough" can be misleading The headline right underneath Cappy: UKRAINE BROKETHROUGH
    751
  444. “Sarge, I dropped my pistol over there somewhere” “Well you better go find it, PRIVATE.” “But sarge, it’s coyote tan, COYOTE TAN, and and we’re in California sarge, I ain’t gonna find it.” “Find it!

    747
  447. How else was Ukraine supposed to respond to the long-range missions launched from those airbases, when their air defence systems are stretched so thin that too many infrastructure attacks are getting through?
    746
  448. “Tactical modular enhanced kinetic lethality.” I think I got all the favorites in a legible sentence 😂
    745
  449. As a former commander of the largest US Air Force ground radar unit in Japan, and a Mission Crew Commander Air Battle Manager on AWACS, Okinawa just 400 miles east of Taiwan is bristling with American forces ready to protect and defend Taiwan.

  450. He couldn’t say “face force multiplier” with a straight face.
    743
  451. Also to mention, having a tank and an military that priorities crew safety creates high morale and soldiers feel confident that makes them perform better
    743
  452. First time I've ever heard someone call it a "thirty-three eight" instead of a "three thirty-eight." ??
    742
  453. You complain about weight, and this is a TOTALLY legitimate concern.  The Army/Marine Corp is literally crushing their men with the gear they are expecting them to hump into combat.

  456. "The first thing we should focus on is the turret" .... Incorrect. The first thing we should focus on is the Tea.
    733
  457. I love how in these style videos you make it clear you’re giving opinions, as opposed to facts. It’s refreshing in a world where most media, especially about the military is telling you they know how it is, not how they believe it to be.
    730
  458. It’s been amazing to see how much this channel has grown over the last couple of years. I love it. Keep it up, Cappy.
    727
  459. The one thing these futuristic capabilities need to account for regarding near-peer adversaries is EMS signatures giving away friendly forces. Ukraine has shown us that the Russians have invested heavily in their EW capabilities to find and target opposing forces. But that fight is likely out of the infantrymen's hands, being the responsibility of fires, EW, air, and space to disrupt and assert dominance of who gets to use the latest and greatest connected technology on the future battlefield.
    721
  460. Fun fact: those things that look like angry eyes on Russian tank turrets? Those are made to burn out the seekers on laser guided anti tank missiles. Being optically guided, guess what's immune to them? Always keep a few obsolete things in storage, you never know what weird shit they can counter that only affects current generation threats.
    718
  461. Not gonna lie, I used to carry 10 knives on me in the winter months. I’ve now narrowed it down to 9.
    716
  462. Small technical correction: most cryptocurrencies (bitcoin and ethereum included) are not anonymous, only pseudonymous. It's way easier to track the movement of funds on the blockchain, because all transactions are literally recorded on a public distributed ledger, than it is to track movement of cash.
    715
  463. I love these weapon breakdown vids. I have a few Suggestions: HK416, Mk11and 12, Mk48, M40 plz, .300 win mag, .338 lapua, and the M4 family.
    712
  464. crack sip ahhh, thats good. Back in my day we had the Colt Single Action Army. Yep, now that was a gun. Not like them 1911s. You ever hear of a revolver jamming? Nope. You need 7+1? Nope, just 1 round of 45 Long Colt.
    711
  465. Chris. Why are you pronouncing “Hamas” as “HMS”? Is this voice AI generated? I’m hearing two different versions of your voice. One pronounces HAMAS as HMS, the other pronounces it correctly. Are you testing an AI version of your voice? Have you been kidnapped? Blink twice if you are a hostage to an AI enemy.

  469. I remember going on a very risky mission and it was a black out drive mission. meaning we used nvgs and light discipline.....essentially no lights. so when it came time to drive we realized my driver left his nvgs. next we were walking down back alleys in east Ramadi cuz he got us lost w no nvgs and he tells me his weapon is inoperable....he tried to put an after market piece on right before the mission and now his weapon wont cycle or fire... lmao... i was sure i was gonna get beheaded on Al Jazeera that night!!

  471. I stayed in China for 6 months in the past and I attended a public event hosted by the provincial police. It featured Chinese SWAT members with crossbows. I talked to my Chinese partner about this and he said something interesting. 1. Crossbows are a mainstay weapon in the police establishment due to easier maintance (i.e. generally less legally restrictive) and any standoffs with hostages in China will likely hurt the hostages when using firearms, including silenced firearms. 2. Not enough police officers that have the desired SWAT-level accuracy with sniper rifles, but there are plenty of them with better accuracy with crossbows that have good scopes. 3. Chinese officials are generally not that comfortable issuing police officers pistols/revolvers with the stopping power of 9mm Parabellum or higher in their daily routines. Hence, a taboo-ish attitude against firearms among the police establishment in general. But they have no problem with cold weapons like batons or crossbows. I don't know about the military and paramilitary (AKA People's Armed Police and others) aspects of crossbows in China. It's all boiled up to the current civic and police practices there. If you think about it, even with the crossbow-related concerns, today's China is not that different from the Ming/Qing dynasty. Of course, anybody can understand that there is a very profound contituity of the Chinese society if one actually lived in China. I guess this is the reason why today's China will stay as today's China for quite a long time.
    688
  472. Even simple active earpro could be a godsend. When I finally bought mine, I was amazed at how much I could hear around me, yet be protected from the noise of shooting. This can be a lifesaver, by allowing a soldier to hear small noises that could give away an enemy, as well as communicating with teammates.
    688
  473. 62,000 artillery pieces to Vietnam? That must include 82mm mortar tubes. Which is misleading in the context of the video.

  482. C-96 was actually a pretty great choice given the context at the time. International ban on exporting long arms to China during their various civil wars, relatively powerful cartridge for the time with ability to attach a stock and a relatively long barrel, etc. Given the circumstances it was probably the best choice they had in a lot of ways.

  487. Chris this is excellent. Often in todays conflicts people do not go far back enough to understand the context and prelude to todays events. You have in a single video, provided a succinct summary of the previous Israeli-Palestine conflicts and reasons. It is important for people to understand conflicts don’t happen in a vacuum or without reason so I’m really glad you’re doing the work others in cable media or other outlets often aren’t.

  489. Congrats on the studio, Cappie. There aren't many channels out there I can listen to at work, sit down and watch at home, listen to while I work on personal projects to, and also fall asleep to. You bring genuine laughter out of me while also educating me in things I'd never even know about without your experience and research. Your explanation, tone, and editing is top tier and your hard work shows. Thanks for suffering through this platform to be a creator.

  490. As for the training on M777, the Ukrainian crews have stated that it is very straightforward to operate them and it doesn't differ from their older artillery pieces that much. As such, the re-training is quite fast and the crews can master the M777 rather quickly. Also, from what I have seen, the Ukrainian crews even say that the M777 is easier to operate than their old artilleries.
    654
  491. Your channel has evolved quite a bit since I first started watching it 2-3 years ago. I really appreciate your in-depth looks into these various world geopolitical situations. Keep up the good work!
    652
  492. I found perun's video "how corruption destroys armies" to be very insightful. Truth is, like russia, we won't ever find out how deep it goes until "it kicks off." hoping for Russia levels of corruption and military incompetence is not something i'd plan a strategy around.
    648
  493. One important point: With Sweden and Finland in NATO - together with Norway (who has been a member since its foundation) - it will be MUCH easier to mobilize troops and equipment through the entire region. I.e. in Norway - there are some areas where the country is so "skinny" and lightly populated that if you take out a single bridge - there is NO way to cross - other than going by sea. You could cross easily by going into Sweden and back in again. But THAT is illegal. Unless they are in NATO.... Same with fighter planes patrolling that must avoid crossing into Swedish and Finish airspace (a lot of intercepts of Russian craft by Norwegian F-16 and F-35). That will be so much easier and effective with both of them in NATO.

  498. Super cavitation is really loud, so it wouldn’t go undetected. You basically boil the water infront of you to create a bubble of steam, witch gives you much less drag than water. Behind you, the steam cools down and turns into water, collapsing the bubble. Steam has a much bigger volume than water, so the expansion creates a shockwave infront of you and the collapse behind you creates another. That’s loud unless you find a way of having the two waves canceling out.

  502. To state the obvious, the most valuable function of the ICMB silo complex isn't it's 'sponge' effect or missile strike options ... it's that it is a global message board. If there is a nuclear detonation somewhere in the world, everyone can quickly look at those silos to see if the US (or any state with them) is going all-in on an attack or not. For the rest of the triad, the submarines have to remain hidden, and the airbase threat (or mobile launcher fleet) is a bit of a global shell game. So as an strong indicator of actual intent, they serve a more important function than deterrence, even.

  507. The one issue that you would have to worry about for mass producing this new rifle is loose tolerances which can lead to a lot of heartache for regular grunts when they get the bad draw when handed their issued rifle. The keyholing could just be a production issue of early variants that could be fixed but China is a different beast and comparing western approaches to problem solving to China is like getting a fish to climb a tree. We have already witnessed a similar issue with Russia, with the west quietly being nervous and falling for the propaganda, expecting Russian soldiers equipped with decked out AK-12's while covering a T-14 Armata. The real problem with cutting through the grease of propaganda when it comes to small arms is that the proof is in the pudding when only you can actually view a complete strip down of the rifle and get into the guts of the weapon so it is very hard to confirm or deny if the weapon lives up to expectations. Norinco has improved over the last twenty years but that reputation boost is reliant on the consumer market, not really the military market since China has not been in any proper wars to field test Norinco's goodies. It would be like taking the glowing review of a Canadian hunter with his Norinco rifle being applied to a peer-to-peer battle. Apples and oranges. Love the vids Cappy

  508. The more bizarre part of the gas pipeline is not that it's running through Ukraine and that it has been unaffected by the war but the fact that Russian government controlled Gasprom company that owns the pipeline has been diligently paying Ukraine for the transit of gas to Europe. One can tell that this oddly uninterrupted Russian-Ukrainian gas transit deal has been contributing to Ukrainian annual budget. So, yes, in an odd and round about way, Russia is helping fund Ukrainian war effort against Russia lol. It goes to show that big money transcends the war and will continue to conduct its business despite the hostilities. I doubt Ukrainians will do anything to the gas pipe - that pipe is dear to both Russians and Ukrainians.

  510. In the early 1970's I was a British infantryman in West Germany. We were trained to fight a war that, thank the gods, never happened. I remember saying to an officer, "These massive manoeuvres are too vulnerable. The next war will be fought at platoon or even section level." He laughed at me. Maybe I had a field marshal's baton in my knapsack... But, it just seemed logical to me. Armies, historically, always seem to be perfectly trained to fight the last war, not the next one.

  518. Voice from Poland: thank you for this material! Even before seeing it, I can say that the authorities in Belarus seek to establish an agreement with China. Much like us, they desire a powerful ally who is distant enough not to pose a direct threat of conquest, but who also can prevent other nations from subjugating them. The Belarusians aspire to be what Poland was during the communist era—a strong ally of China in Eastern Europe. This positioning allows them to counteract Russia from multiple angles (they are already present in Central Asia and will likely extend to the Caucasus), akin to how the USA uses Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan to contain China. Moreover, it is important to remember that Russian drones have already violated Belarusian airspace twice. Lukashenko is afraid, which is beneficial, as this fear might compel him to loosen his ties with Russia by leveraging his relationship with China. Admittedly, the scale of these operations is incomparable, as US naval ships can comfortably traverse the Pacific to reach Taiwan, for instance. To challenge Russia via Belarus, Polish or Lithuanian assistance would be necessary to deliver any aid. Thus, Poland shares a common interest with China, as both nations benefit from preventing Belarus from becoming a part of Russia. For us, this alignment has profound implications. If an independent Poland is significant not only to the USA and Europe but also to China, this considerably strengthens our strategic position. This is why President Duda of Poland received a more ceremonious welcome in China than Putin.

  520. Former infantry Marine with 3/5 K. Was in Fallujah and it was absolutely terrifying. One of the WORST parts of fighting in the city was being a SAW gunner, holding security inside a house while the rest of the squad was on the roof. Hearing the fighting right outside, and anti American forces right outside as well (in adjoining houses). I’ll never forget how terrifying it was

  522. The Swedish Defence University has a podcast that talked about the Russian battalion battle-groups. These are heavy on tanks and support weapons and have a large amount of firepower. The problem is that they lack sufficient infantry to screen them which is why the Ukrainian infantry can get close and set up ambushes so easily.
    610
  523. I remember when we switched from BDU’s to ACU’s. It was on that day that I realized someone was making some poor choices. 😂. That and when the overall mission parameters and ROE made the 82nd 1st/504th into a quasi law enforcement group of sorts I thought to myself “I have an M249 that spits out hate and discontent like it’s going out of style and I’m over here shaking hands and smiling at the same asshats that are planting IEDs on our MSR’s”

    588
  541. I think your focus is misplaced. The marines amphibious mission is focused on forced entry ops. Realistically only the 82nd and to some extent the 101st are the only large scale units that can do that. Secondly the larger size of the army permits a greater reliance on combat arms, support and service support. The marines require that every marine is a rifleman. Hence the more focused warrior culture.
    588
  542. Worrying about the T-14...So what you're saying is that we're about to repeat the whole "they have a Mig-25 Foxbat, we need to design the F-15" thing all over again.

  545. Important: “The Commandant of the Marine Corps, along with many other Marines, was concerned about the loss in pure volume of fire when moving from a belt fed weapon to a magazine fed weapon. Experiments by Marine Corps Operational Test and Evaluation Activity (MCOTEA) proved that the M27 significantly outperformed the M249 in suppression, used significantly less ammunition and had less downtime during reloads when total down time was measured through a full combat load of ammunition. This was especially true at night due to the complexity of the M249 function/operation creating a greater frequency of stoppages and malfunctions.

  555. Chris, you do very decent geopolitical presentation. Love your previous military/weapons-focused vids as well. But have to tell ya, this is very decent, well-rounded, and a balanced, question-raising content! My highest esteem :) I remain your fan!
    575
  556. Excellent episode. Other overlooked contributors to the problem include the role of federal regulators and congressional leaders letting the problem get so out of control. As a pharmacist working in the bio pharma industry for almost 25 years, this isn’t as recent a problem as people think. Purdue’s behaviors may not have been so damaging had they not been allowed to flourish almost unchecked by those responsible for oversight. Follow the money. One look at the dollars spent on lobbying over the years tells us they must have found their investment effective or they wouldn’t have continued to spend. The other hidden issue is that Medical schools have generally overlooked any sort of education or training in pain management. So when a doctor understandably wants to alleviate suffering, they often use the wrong option or prescribe pain medication to be taken in ways that promote addiction. So today, most physicians, PAs, and advance practice nurses are poorly equipped to effectively manage pain to begin with and the pharmaceutical misadventures are extremely common.
    574

    563
  564. To be fair, i think the army was more worried about fratricide than the enemy, which says something about the whole conflict.
    562
  565. Hey Cappy, Retired Australian Army here. I wouldn’t discount the theory that the AUG “won” because of the manufacturing licence issue. When I joined back in ‘97, that particular rumour was quite well spread by then. That would make it Pre-Internet. Having said that I quite liked the F88, never had any issues with it at all on two ops, and countless training exercises, and parachute descents. The progressive trigger is a matter of training, and not a design flaw. Once you get enough time on the rifle it’s actually a very conscious decision to go full auto. You can tell who the new guys are at the rage quite easily after a three or four round burst instead of a single shot. The new version EF88 is better than the original F88,which sorely needed replacing by the 2010s
    558

  569. It’s not that bad, considering the niche, it is replacing. The soviet counterpart to the m113 is the mt-lb. If you look up the stats and compare them to the 113, you’ll find out that it’s role is still significant. Also, a lot of 113s are used behind the frontlines as medical/cargo transports
    551
  570. Hey, for the longest while I have considered you a humorous take on the current state of military affairs. And yes you were quite funny. Recently, you have very much up'ed your game. I also follow the ISW, and you have done an absolute amazing job explaining them to the common man. I applaud you and your whole channel's team in their well researched and overall presentation. Keep up the good work! We are all spare parts...

  571. “Some how avoid security” more like “security avoided him” there is literal video of people begging the cops to intercede
    544
  572. “I tried. It was awkward for everyone.” Not only is the infrastructure not in combat zones, civilian phones don’t go through hours of torture testing. Extreme heat and cold. Dunked under water and buried in mud. Put through vibration machines. The newest phones might survive; probably would survive in the right cases. But might and probably don’t cut it when soldiers’ lives are at stake. Test and development is slow for a good reason. The cost is debatable. Great video. This info needs to be out there.

  578. The one thing that this video overlooked is that the marine corps chose the cobra for a reason. The cobra is simpler to operate and 4 to 5 times more cost effective. For example the maintenance hour to flight hour is is 1/8 that of the Apache. The fuel burn rate 2/3 more efficient and offer a similar time on station and better performance at low altitudes which are the only reason for its existence. Now to say that the Apache is apex of rotary wing attack platforms is an understatement. I'm not going to pull a warthunder and blab specifics but some of the lesser known capabilities of the Apache really put into perspective on how much more advanced the US is compared to any adversary.
    531
  579. I'm glad you're doing more historical current events content. Just a small correction. The toppling of Saddam was not likely the inspiration for the Arab Spring. The first spark and proximate inspiration so to speak came from the self-immolation of a street vendor in Tunisia that got them to oust their dictator and it rapidly spread from there because of social media.

  582. Cappy, as a civilian, I know nothing about how a fire team, squad, group, battalion, whatever is composed. So while this looks cool to me, I don’t really understand how the saw, 240, etc are currently employed. If you get time, could you do a video breaking down how all these different regiments add up to each other, and how the saw, 240, etc fit in with our current doctrine? I love seeing the gun, but it’s hard to understand what it really means for our guys in the field. Thanks!

    517
  585. Cappy has gone from trolling us with mispronunciation to getting countries in NATO wrong. We know it's deliberate
    515
  586. Another good one, Cappy. Your level headed analysis is a refreshing break from the hysteria and propaganda. Unfortunately, right now it’s a temporary stalemate. The biggest problem is going to be in the south and east, where a huge chunk of Ukraine’s manufacturing and energy production is. So far it’s been a defensive fight for the Ukrainians, but to take those back with force will mean going on the offensive, much harder and bloodier. Hopefully some kind of ceasefire can been worked out, to at least stop the killing.
    513
  587. @6:18 - the entire length of the Golan Heights conflict area is about 100km, so the "mere hundreds of kilometers away" is a slight "typo". These forces are just a few dozen kilometers from each other, i.e. in artillery and rocket range of each other.

  589. one of the best breakdowns on this I've seen
    513
  590. Just for point of reference 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. 10 dedicated C-17s can launch 450 AGM-158s. They could theoretically use something like 50 cargo planes to launch well over a thousand of these within minutes completely overwhelming and destroying any and all air defenses a hostile nation may have. In a near peer fight this system is practically an "I win" button.

  596. Armies are very expensive to build, equip and maintain. Just look at how much our military costs us each year. Mercenaries have been the go to for countries for a thousands of years. They only cost money when they are employed to do your dirty work. Their main drawback is a lack of duty to the country and following the biggest payer

  601. The production issue for all military munitions is the fact that each part of the missile or vehicle is the length of the supply chain is being too long and not shortened like in WW2. Everything was produced in America and was able to reach coast to coast in a certain time frame that was predictable.

  604. Good video and mostely accurate. Let's get some facts straigth. (I've used the FAMAS for several years, and I used to be an instructor on it) - FALSE, not a ton of plastic parts, and not prone at all to break - PARTIALLY TRUE, the mags were designed to be disposable, but were ALWAYS reused. Not often. Biggest problem of that weapon system. - FALSE 25 rounds mags was the maximum amount of rounds you could packin a straight mag, hence lead to easier stockage and packing. - FALSE No soldier swears by the FELIN system. Maybe we admit that it is good for static defensive tactics, yes, but otherwise no. This is too heavy and too bulky. And relies on fragile electronics. And we very rarely run the FIR/FIL (the big thermal scope). - FALSE the rifle grenades are accurate, and reliable. They are a huge addition to firepower. The APAV 40 is anti personnel and anti vehicle and is used with regular rounds. The AC 58 however is rarely used, has armor piercing capabilities, but requires a special magazine with blank launching rounds. - FALSE the nickname Clairon has never been used by the troops. That's a nickname journalists gave to it.

  605. Airborne insert is not obsolete. "Hop-N-Pop" gets personnel on the ground decreasing exposure of aerial resources, even though individuals have heightened risk if LZ is heavily forested.
    498
  606. I think the point you made about training and experience with regard to the U.S. and Chinese militaries is quite valid. If marching smartly in lock-step was actually worth something in combat, the Chinese would be very impressive. Most images you see of U.S. military, they are sauntering along and chatting casually among themselves. They know what they're doing.

  607. Can’t wait for the steam-deck to be used by field units as a cheap modified system. Will totally not be misused or run out of battery while operational.

  609. 6:18 The Type 54 is a copy of the Soviet TT-33. The TT-33 is based of the Colt 1903. In all, both pistols are not entirely based off the M1911 (The TT has the tilting-barrel of the M1911). The Type 54 even predates the time the Chinese acquired the Makarov, which was given the designation Type 59. If anything, it should have been discussed before the Makarov.

  612. As a recovering addict 10 years sober I can tell you this is no joke. I am so happy I stopped and got clean or I'd be laying next to my baby sis and good friend that didn't have the help they needed. Still wake up from time to time in a cold sweat. But my ability to fight all urges and learn from my past failures, knowing what will happen if I even have an alcoholic drink, stops me in my tracks. But mostly, its knowing my little sister was in a hotel room alone, crying, in constant mental turmoil, and pain 1,000 miles away from her protector. That FAILURE as a big brother, keeps me in line. Killing me inside. And that's enough right there.......

  613. As a Mexican, I love your channel is always full of quality info, also shout out to the Mexican army, since i think they are pretty cool.

  614. If you get down to it, York should be remembered as well for the 132 German troops who lives were saved when he took their commander alive and convinced him to order them to surrender. War isn't always about killing. It's about gaining your objective.

  615. If it's as versatile as the Stryker then it's probably a home run.

  616. The other big part of this problem is the demand that originates here in the US. We might cut supply for awhile but the demand will just shift to other sources.

  623. Just a technical note: Theres no river flowing to Crimea, its man made canal build during Soviet times to help poor Crimea region. There was arid semidesert and steppes before the canal was built and it is becoming one once again. The salinsation was and is happening due to the cannal (evaporating mineralisied river water does that everywhere in the world), its effect are worse and more visible when the water stops flowing.

  624. Everyone is making fun of Chris’s grunt math but can we just appreciate his correct usage of clips finally

  625. You missed a key thing with that 1 in 4 firing statistic, down the line "Skinner Operant Conditioning" came around to simply get soldiers firing their weapons as a reflex, rather than having to think about shooting someone else.

  627. Raptors are birds of prey. The word raptor has a Latin origin meaning “to grasp or seize”. This is attributed to the claws on their feet also known as talons. Their sharp talons and strong feet capture and secure their prey.

  631. You should have mentioned the numerous Mexican security personnel who were trained either by the US, or in the US mold, that defected and started their own cartels. Los Zetas was probably the most well known in the states but there’s countless others, both current and past.
    472
  632. Your analysis is much more informative and in a common sense format than could be given by an egg headed perfumed princess from the Pentagon, and what makes it better is that your presentation is not political propaganda. The sarcasm is a fine touch. Keep it coming Semper Fi

  634. Here's the thing, the Indians acquired those SIG rifles but the deal for over 200 thousand AK-203s and a factory with machinery built by Izhmash's engineers is still going through. If you guys keep with TheFirearmBlog, you'll see that every few months the Indian military makes massive purchases of assault rifles and battle rifles with no regards for logistics whatsoever, they buy shit randomly without giving it a second thought.
    467
  635. I was issued an IOTV, as a Marine in Iraq, 2004. At the time I weighed roughly 120 lbs. My Sgt got a good laugh assigning me to carry the 240. April 2004, convoy was hit by an IED - jumped out of the 7 ton and immediately dropped from a sharp pain in my lower back. Have had chronic back pain ever since (yoga helps, brothers - trust me on this one). But, yeah, according to the VA, my back issues are in my head. No nerve, muscle, or spinal injuries. Go figure. Great video. Keep up the solid content.
    466
  636. I know the French get a lot of shit, with jokes about them surrendering and yes, as an American I find them funny but, France has been one of America’s oldest allies and the French are one of the strongest military forces in Europe. They make really great and reliable weapons, and as Cappy mentioned, France is the only European country with its own Nuclear Arsenal and I’m glad we’re on the same side.
    466
  637. Officially, Indonesia’s geopolitic stand is neutral. But I think in the near future the president elect Prabowo will have tendency to allign Indonesia more closely to the West. Afterall, he came from military background and have had counter terrorism course in West Germany (1981) and special forces training at Ft. Benning in US (1981). Great Analysis btw
    464
  638. Can we talk about how badly those guys in the B-roll are holding, shooting and dealing with the recoil? No? Ok...
    464
  639. You, of course, have great points given your substantial experience. My one caution is to not underestimate the Ukrainian military’s adaptability. They find amazing, novel ways to use much of what they’re supplied.
    464
  640. I think the motivation here is much more unclear than you might think. This was has been going on for less than 6 months. At the start, the most important weapon deliveries were clearly the defensive weapons, especially MANPADs and ATGMs. At the same time, the Ukrainians mobilized and created a lot of light infantry forces. These needed to be trained and equipped. I think we are now at the cross roads point, where Ukraine needs to replace armored vehicles and tanks in the existing units. The tank force is being supplemented by the Eastern Europe members of NATO led by Poland. Now we get to the question, does NATO help Ukraine build new armored and mechanized infantry battalions out of some of the infantry formations that were built. This would allow the Ukrainians to field a more formidable offensive force. I still would not expect Abrams and Bradleys going to Ukraine. There are still BMPs and BTRs variants that can be sent and replaced. I don't know where the tanks (if any) are going to come from.
    462
  641. 2:01 wow, that gun legit disappeared. It was like magic
    461
  642. The 155mm is not american. It was a work from France and Germany to develop a common shell format. It was better than alternatives at the time and was accepted as a NATO standard as well as adopted by the USA.
    461
  643. There have been some awful takes recently, and one that are fine but I don’t agree with. I think this is a good take, Cappy.
    461
  644. I'd be very hard pressed to call Hungary an ally of Ukraine...
    460
  645. Saying tanks are obsolete is obsolete.
    459
  646. "I don't think I could pull off a coup." Not with that attitude, you won't.
    457
  647. Maybe I’m just biased but as a US Submariner, our boats are so far ahead of everyone else that seeing issues like “China building more ships than us” just makes me chuckle if I’m honest. During war games with our own ships we need to make an ungodly amount of noise to give even our most advanced ships a chance of detecting us and that’s with there active sonar. Don’t get me wrong, visual force projection is important, but if were talking about no hands tied proper naval combat. The US dominates to an ungodly degree with subs alone. There are some great modern sub stories online that give a fraction of our unclassified capabilities if anyone’s curious. Great video btw.
    456
  648. BMP is not a tank, it's a tracked support for a mech section. you have an analog for recoiless SPG9 with HEAT and FRAG rounds, ATGM and GPMG. As long as you use it as support, you are fine. If you try to do tanky things with it, you get obliterated.
    456
  649. Fun fact, we used the M16 in Vietnam, issued to scouts, section leaders and officers, while riflemen carried L1A1s. Australia was not very pleased with the M16 during Vietnam and that was another factor that contributed to its rejection.
    456
  650. I remember using Bradleys in Iraq… great vehicles Edit: Although, it was a very different enemy. I still think it can give Ukraine another edge, just not enough to do extremely severe damage
    455
  651. Unlicensed military copies sounds like a cool idea for a video.
    455
  652. For the love of God please do Germany next, you know the country that went from over 7000 tanks during the same period to less than 300 today. The same country that became absolutely dependent on Russian energy while demanding the US protect them from Russia at the same time. The fifth largest GDP that can not even meet the 2 percent of GDP they agreed to.
    454
  653. I was involved in the development of the M26 MASS. A few interesting facts: 1. The initial push for the dual capability (underslung / stand alone) came from the Military Police, who wanted the ability to have less lethal rounds for crowd control with immediate overwatch / transition to lethal capability. Breaching was the #2 application which was eventually pushed into #1 by the infantry community. The MASS requirement did help get Mossbergs into the force in large numbers ass an interim solution at 2 per squad -- though I've lost track of what the basis of issue for the MASS is now. Because the Mossberg is such a good weapon, after buying them there was thought of limiting the M26 to only MP units. 2. The first early prototype MASS systems were deployed to Afghanistan with 10th MTN Division as a rapid development ... except nobody issued the stand alone kits or trained how to remove the shotgun from the carbine. The units kept the shotguns in the underslung mode and humped the combined weapon up and down mountains. You can imagine that didn't result in good feedback about the system. 3. The competition for the MASS requirement included the KAC MasterKey system. Because that solution was so much heavier, it performed very poorly in the underslung mode because of all that weight far forward on the carbine and what is now the M26 won the competition. 4. It's possible to rapid-fire the MASS in either underslung or stand-alone mode -- it takes a little practice, but the technique is basically this: get a good stock weld with the right hand pulling the weapon into the shoulder; the left hand is held palm flat, fingers upward, flat against the side of the weapon with the bolt in the pocket between the thumb and forefinger. Rapidly cycle the weapon by sliding the left hand fore-and-aft along the receiver. I've been able to empty the shotgun as fast as I can pull the trigger with this technique. 5. At one point there was a prototype for a pump-action mechanism that would fit on the barrel of the M26 and attach to the bolt to allow a traditional pump-style action to cycle the weapon instead of the protruding bolt. There was a lot of concern about the safety of this approach since it put the operator's forward hand very close to the muzzle of the weapon. I don't know what happened to that initiative since.

  658. I think the solution is pretty obvious... You need to switch night fighting for mid-morning fighting, ideally sometime just after brunch.
    452
  659. I appreciate your humorous and non-political assessment of equipment and tactics. Also I appreciate your analysis of combat strategies and actions in the current war in Ukraine. When I read news reports I have a better understanding of what they are missing. Well done Cappy!
    452
  660. These are some strange times we’re living in
    452
  661. We don't use bag charges anymore, the A7 is based off the Bradley chassis, we use armored ammo carriers now, if you've ever been on a 777 or the older m109a6 you wouldn't consider the m109a7 obsolete. The vehicle is actually pretty spacious, I'd rather be in it than under the net with a m77a2. We can't air assault a paladin so the 777 still has a place. The new rammer is spectacular, it's a hell of a weapon system. The old hydraulic rammer on the a6 was breaking down constantly. Direct fire is usually reserved for emergency situations. Generally at the point you have to drop tube and fire direct you're pretty screwed. If you've ever had to do an action azimuth mission an a 777 you'll be happy to use a paladin instead. As well with a paladin there's no jumping to grab the tube while everyone else pulls the gun down by your belt. No more holding up the tube or needing a Gerber to open the pintle with a prime mover nearly running you over because the ground guide or driver aren't paying attention. Usually the 13j/D's were rolling in m113's.

    447
  667. I think the most overlooked part about the Abrams in combat is that an Abrams almost never goes into combat alone. Joint operations has become fundamental to US military success and almost without exception the Abrams will not fight without some combination of infantry, CAS, and artillery supporting it. Russia's largest mistake in Ukraine so far has been a massive inability to conduct joint operations in any sort of meaningful way. Many things lead to this but the results speak for themselves. From the bad training to the dry rotted support vehicles, from the discontinued dual band AlibExpress radios some crews are using to the lackluster air support, There's a whole grocery list's worth of incredibly stupid and avoidable mistakes that have essentially crippled Russia's ability to conduct joint operations & thus left their armor vulnerable to almost constant attack. TL;DR: Nobody fights alone & Russia tried to Thunder Run without bringing the thunder.

  669. holding that mechanical aim assist = cupping the rifle's ball sack
    445
  670. Just for added context, it took 3 weeks to get to Baghdad whilst having complete air superiority to recon and strike targets on the axis of advance. Russia has no where near the logistics, intel or air cover the coalition forces did in Iraq. One thing I find odd is this that even with all the build up and preparation over the past weeks and months is that logistics just seems to have been under valued.
    443
  671. No one talks about why opium then and fenty now is so in demand. No one asks why people are so desperate that they are willing to run away with something they know is killing them. While it's a misattribution, there's the line from Churchill about cutting funding from the arts for the war effort, to which he supposedly said "Then what are we fighting for?" We can blame individual behavior all we want, when it's a handful of people. When it's whole sections of the population, we can blame pharmaceutical advertising or drug cartels or whoever, but we have to ask why the desperation and hopelessness exists?

    440
  676. 3:30 The main purpose of the moderator wasn’t to reduce sound, but more to increase back pressure to make the gun more reliable. Short barrel ARs like the xm177 have a very short dwell time and they needed a way to get more gas into the action to cycle the bcg.

    430
  681. I have 2 questions about the NLAW that weren't answered: How does it work that the missile can fly 1 metre above the tank and explode, killing the tank? I've only ever seen missiles flying and hitting a target directly. I thought even with a shaped charge 1 metre away would lose too much energy, especially against ERA? Also, why can't the NLAW be reloaded? It has great sights and night vision, and you really just dump all that on the battlefield after one shot? Seems it would be many times cheaper and more efficient if it was designed to be reloaded, but I'm obviously missing something here.
    430
  682. You can't keep all 12 subs out at the same time. You need enough for rotations, repairs and outfitting and crew rest and training.

    426
  685. I feel like a lot of the recent discussion of 'capital ships are obsolete' comes from the sinking of the Moskva, but that discussion neglects to mention some of the more unique factors that made the Moskva so vulnerable. It was out there alone, did not change its patterns over the weeks prior to its sinking, and the anti-air operating system was not very ergonomic so could have led to fatigue on the operators. Then there is the infamous maintenance report which I still don't know is real or not, but if it's real, it would explain how a ship with three layers of missile defense got hit by two non-stealth sub-sonic missiles. A combination of underestimating the enemy, neglected maintenance, and incompetence from command is what really sank the Moskva.
    426
  686. This is without doubt the best video you've ever done. I hate to think of how many times you tried to record it. The strain of the recording is written all over your face. You have succeeded in producing soul touching art.
    425
  687. Glad you talked about the recoil. Watching those slow mo shots makes a .50 look tame. Also "If you believe what the Chinese say" should be just permanently on screen at this point.
    425
  688. The Apache is modified to be used at sea by the British, so if the US wanted to, it could make the same modiications to make sea worthy Apaches. Of course due to the US industrial military complex, instead of taking the existing work of its closest ally for basically free, it has to give Boeing millions just to due the same work that the Brits already did.

  695. Fun fact. After the invasion, the area that Sgt. Smith's unit was fighting over was later turned into Victory Base Complex (VBC). In 2010, I was a contractor at VBC (running the security and operations at an Entrance Control Point, ECP 14) and that ECP just happened to be were that battle with Smith occurred. At that time, the tower was still there and it was insane how many .50 cal bullet holes were in that thing. I heard that the Army actually dismantled that tower and shipped it to a base in Georgia and rebuild it there brick by brick as a memorial.
    419
  696. Correction, Estonia made the switch to an LMT rifle designating it R-20 "Rahe", my battalion(you feature us prominently in the vid) was actually the first to get it. Spent a fair amount of time with both rifles and gotta say, the galil is still definitely my favorite AK variant, everything on it just makes sense, the charging handle, the safety, it was very pleasant to operate(didn't have the cap opener though, we had a pic mount :) ). The R-20 is a really good AR imho, not the HK416 but still very nice. Though how light and compact it felt in hands after the Galil was astonishing.

  702. If by "300,000 US trained government forces" you are referring to the total number of conscripts trained while the USA was still heavily involved in Afghanistan then realize almost all of them were > conscripts < who served a 3-year hitch. They then went back to their villages. Also realize training effectively ceased when the USA withdrew from conducting training in 2014/2015. The Afghans who took over training simply stole all of the resources involved and very few Afghans actually got trained since about 2015. That means nearly everyone who WAS actually trained was gone by 2018. I know because I was there - training Afghan recruits - from March of 2008 to April of 2014.

  705. I wonder if I was connected to one of these? I was in the USN and we were off the coast of Columbia in the '90s. We just did a patrol back and forth along the coastline for a few weeks with a SEAL team aboard doing secret stuff. They took over the room behind the sonar room where I worked - that room had a hatch to the top side where they had a bunch of stuff set up and covered with tarps. They would sleep on the floor in the sonar room. It was unnerving to be standing watch next to someone who could and would kill you at the hint of a provocation. Those guys were scary, but they were polite and they cleaned up after themselves - I remember I had to scrub the rest of the deck really hard to make it all match. They must have had some kind of cleanser that was really effective... or they're just really intense about cleaning.

  706. In regards to your comment on crossing rivers being not relevant, you’re failing to account for the terrain Russian vehicles are designed to fight in. Eastern Europe is filled with small rivers that they need to be able to cross.
    409
  707. While the video is generally stays true to the facts, it has many little inaccuracies I.e. Zlobin's AK-12 never had a quick chamge barrel, nor a "hyperburst" capability (and 900rpm is not a HYPERburst by any means). The 60-round magazines are 4-stack. Also, Kalashnikov concerh is mostly controlled by private investors, and ROSTEC only holds blocking share (25%+1 share) New chief designer who managed the "new" AK-12 is Sergey Urzhumtsev The competing design from Kovrov (the A-545 / 6P67) is completely missed in the story, which is directly related to the "unusual 2-round burst mode" (because military wanted a balanced action rifle, and requirements for the "Ratnik" trials were written accordingly) Some KM-AK videos are mixed into the lot at roughly 10:00 And while you are correct that optics is important. the key feature is that AK12 can mount ANY modern optics, domestic or imported, and while 1P87 red dot is current standard issue, there are a number of better sights (Night/IR, LPVO and red dots) in the works, which could be seamelessly integrated onto any AK-12 And no, Zlobin's AK-12 was NOT revolutionary at all. it was just a more "westernized" (think "cargo cult") version of the older system, but much more expensive and much less reliable than expected.
    407
  708. My question is when you have the full head protection is if your even able to use the optics on your rifle. From using paintball masks you’d have to get a rail riser in order to be able to see the reticle or red dot.

  709. When the FO and the medic are good friends... we call it preventative medicine
    404
  710. wow, Chris! never thought an American can have that deep understanding of things that going on rn in my country. thank you for spreading the info to the English-speaking world! 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇲
    404
  711. "Why Headquarters?" I lost it...😂😂😂
    404
  712. Thanks for having me a part of this! This was a ton of fun to make!
    403
  713. Hey Chris, fun fact about how you said the West doesn't market it guns as being made by the descendents of famous gun designers: Douglas Wesson, grandson of famous cofounder of Smith & Wesson, was heavily involved in the company after his grandfather died, and Daniel B Wesson II (the great grandson) established his OWN gun company known as Dan Wesson. Both were highly successfull.
    402
  714. This is definitely a different type of content, I like it.
    401
  715. I'm really grateful you made this video. I was with 1st ID, we RIP'ed out the 173rd at Camp Blessing. My platoon was slated to RIP out with the platoon at Wanat. The day we were supposed to deploy from Ft Hood, our aircraft had an issue and we went on a 24hr stand down. Went out to dinner that night, and at the bar in the restaurant the TV was on and CNN was showing. Breaking news happened, it was the battle at Wanat. My heart sack so deep, knowing that those men were mere days from coming home, days from handing off the battle to us. Not ashamed to admit I cried that night. Not out of fear, but due to heartache for those men. I never knew the backstory as you told it, really interesting. We never went back to Wanat, we focused our efforts out west in the Chapadarra District. I remember seeing AAR's on the SIPR about the battle, and I remember always feeling like it was a serious command failure. Those guys were too far from any QRF, woefully undermanned and under resourced, and overall were put in a tragic and unnecessary situation. I'll never forget this battle. Thanks again for the video, more people need to know about this.
    400
  716. I dont know any of the soldiers that died there, I barely know their names, but I will always remember this story, the bond between soldiers is greater than anything. These soldiers knew that they had kids, or parents, or loved ones back home, and they die to protect each other
    400
  717. Literally CANNOT wait to put a bayonet on it!
    400
  718. “If we were really interested in peace we’d stop inventing roads” lol
    400
  719. To be fair to SGT. Cappy here, I'm 100% sure most soldiers would rather die than deal with non combat bullshit
    400
  720. I'm an American working in Ukraine for a humanitarian organization, and what terrifies the people here is the West's waning support for this war. Putin knew from the beginning if he stretched this conflict, eventually the American and Europeans would pull their support.
    398
  721. Q: Why does the UK only have 221 MBTs while Poland is acquiring over 1300 tanks? A: The UK is a collection of islands (fyi, tanks aren’t really that good at swimming 😉) while Poland is on a flat wide plain with no significant geographical defensible features that has been the playground for ambitious European leaders with land armies for half a millennium & has a population that doesn’t want a repeat of that history ….
    398
  722. As an ROTC cadet about to commission, I've never been so offended by something I 100% agree with lmfao

  726. I'm an American veteran. You helped me with my PTSD from the missions we had to do in our work in Afghanistan. Hearing you say the same things I say helped me remember I'm not alone in my experiences. Thank you
    396
  727. Your a true inspiration not just for disillusioned veterans but the civilized world. Bravo my man!
    396
  728. Nam- My Rifle is made of wood and steel! Now- My Rifle is made of plastic and aluminum! Will you have any videos on Abram evolution and plans to replace it?
    396
  729. Instead of complaining or not watching the Vid I'll just say good idea Cappy, having other hosts must help your life considerably and give you a break. We're all still mainly here to watch you get things wrong and fumble over the English language though. Much love from everyone who has a longer attention span than the average Marine
    395
  730. This was a surprisingly good analysis and illuminating explanation. Much more enlightening than the usual ‘expert’ commentary. I also love that the explanations are balanced and fairly neutral where it counts punctuated by clearly stated political opinions (opinions not made into propaganda) Thanks a lot for this!
    394
  731. Thank You Cappy for giving me an Excuse to not do homework for 20 minutes 🙏🙏🙏
    393
  732. Thanks for adopting the smoother editing style. I have a headache from writing my PhD thesis and this is the only video in my feed that isn't aggravating it.
    390
  733. Great video ! However, you forgot to mention a VERY meaningful event ( a milestone ) in the history of militant-Hamas and that is the encounter with Hizballah in Lebanon, in 1992, when Shimon Peres deported 415 Hamas activists to Lebanon. This incident resulted in strong ties between Hamas and Hizballah
    390
  734. $1500 for all that, PLUS I can sleep with it?? I'll take two, Cappy!
    389
  735. I don't know if you regularly read comments, but I just wanted to say that this was a great piece of work. It's incredibly hard to find good objective journalism on Israeli geopolitics. I subscribe to Foreign Affairs and even their reporting can be tainted by dogma.
    388
  736. I worked with Kenyan Police Officers in Mitrovica, Kosovo before 9-11 and after. I was impressed with them. They took enjoyment correcting my America English. They were all professional. Nigerian police were the polar opposites of the Kenyans.
    386
  737. Anyone who's ever played with Peltier devices can pretty much see the problems immediately. Those things sink current like it's going out of fashion, and the efficiency is so low that the hot side gets REALLY hot really quickly. You might cool the outer surface temporarily, but you've done so by literally wrapping your entire vehicle in a giant electric blanket set on "light broil".
    386
  738. I first saw night vision goggles in the army at Ft. Irwin in '86. An officer pulled up in his Humvee and I was looking at a face covered with two lensed goggles. It freaked me out.
    385
  739. What makes this funny is that it seems so realistic
    384
  740. You read 35 pages Chris? Whole pages no pictures? They really are educating those marines better these days!
    382
  741. What I think would've been more accurate was if you had him come home and she's just being gang banged by like 5 dudes and have her say "oh honey, did the war end early?"
    382
  742. The problem is that, even if they bring M1abrams, and really advanced equipment, it's gonna take months, years, for the Ukrainians to get used to it and to actually use it
    381
  743. When an Italian says it’s light weight and has no recoil we can confirm he’s telling the truth people. Love your videos Cappy
    380
  744. You’re getting up close and personal with some pretty cool military toys. Must be your channel is gaining some serious traction. I really enjoyed this look at the JLTV.
    380
  745. I've given you both praise and criticism before and i gotta say. This video is excellently done rhetorically and you've given off the most balanced views I've heard yet with explaining the other side's actual viewpoint instead of saying why they are wrong. Keep it up! Your channel isn't the only thing growing. You are too mate.
    378
  746. I love that Total War Rome 2 footage is used.
    378
  747. I really appreciate the fact that the actual warfighter is being consulted in the process.
    378
  748. Just remember the Drill Sergeant with the blue ring on his hat is the emotional support guy and loves hugs.
    377
  749. Diego did well. He was very well spoken. And he has a natural "radio" voice!
    376
  750. When learning about one of my ggg grandpa’s that served in the civil war, I found out that it wasn’t uncommon for regiments to have two companies (one dedicated to sharp shooting and the other providing protection for them thrown out front as skirmishers). They basically took the best shooters and put them in front of the regiment to harass the enemies and feel out their positions. He was in one of the two companies in the 36th IL infantry that took out two confederate generals in about an hour timeframe during the Battle of Pea Ridge. My ggg grandpa ended up getting shot in the heel during the battle. One of the sharpshooters in his regiment got a lot of recognition for killing one of the generals. They aren’t sure who killed the second one. He went on to serve at Stones River, Chickamauga (wounded again), Missionary Ridge, and the Atlanta campaign. Dude was tough. Died not long after the war in his early forties.
    376
  751. My dad fought on the front lines of Korea for a year in the 1950s as a Seargant in the Marine Corp. He finally died last November. I think he freaked out the North Koreans also 😊. Seriously, I think he'd be asking to pursue peace at all costs. He woke up asking about the Artillery one night during his last week until he realized where he was. Freaked my mom out. Let's be careful what we ask for...
    375
  752. They won't go with Sig, because the Sig makes sense.
    374
  753. At NO POINT EVER has ANYONE said "Man! We need less gunships..."
    374
  754. I hope he makes a video on what’s going on in Africa right now. Wagner, coups, uranium mines, France being kicked out, new alliances between African countries etc. The entire continent is just a massive tinder box at this point.
    373
  755. I'm glad you touched on It's speed being one if it's biggest issues on the modern battlefield because I was thinking the exact same before you got to that point. I'm thinking the next version or replacement of this system will probably be a system that has a lot of diverse warheads and uses similar to the gustav and have the ability of both manual slower flying speeds or incredibly fast automatic firing speeds.
    372
  756. Just a little correction - Bulgaria and Romania weren't Soviet Republics, but allies in the Warsaw Pact.
    371
  757. It’s so strange, hearing such honesty from a military channel, I would expect this to all be propaganda, but the accurate telling of American foreign-policy in Latin America is refreshing
    371
  758. What do you call a dead ISIS? WasWas
    370
  759. The freaky part of warfare is how quickly public sentiment can effect a conflict compared to the past. That's why we are seeing so much effort put towards propaganda. Was watching a documentary on the pig war and noted how long it took for official replies (in this case the general in question got away with rackless aggression because he knew it would take 12 weeks to get a response from his commanders) and how much individual power it gave a general at the time. Now, commanders know or have a decent idea of what is happening real time.
    369
  760. Glad to see it looks like you are feeling better Cappy. Take care of yourself, we love the content!
    368
  761. HERE'S THAT AGRESSIVE COMMENT YOU ORDERED
    368
  762. This was a good summary of it. It's almost like trying to artificially overcome supply by destroying the supplier while barely addressing demand just increases the demand issue just increases the demand for violence
    368
  763. A friend of mine was in Iraq, and exposed to those burn pits. They now have severe COPD, and are essentially disabled because of that. As good as the new legislation is, it is just a good start. Much more is needed, not just medical, but in supporting them so they can be self sufficient. You put your life on the line for a country, and the country damn well better take care of you if you are injured doing so.
    367
  764. NO. The Pansyr does NOT use a gatling gun.
    366
  765. Chris , Your knowledge of weapons tactic and military doctrine is impressive. You should march on the Pentagon and take over the Joint chief of Staff position and show them how its done All your videos are awesome, I've watched them all.
    366
  766. First off, I voted for task and purpose in the gundies! Hope you win! Second, I’m curious if you could elaborate more on the “need” for ballistic head protection vs bump helmet protection? As a firefighter I almost feel neked sometimes without a helmet. However a buddy of mine (medic- two tours both with 2nd B, 75th) constantly 💩s on helmets saying you’re better off without one. I’d be very interested in a more thorough dive in on the topic.
    362
  767. A great gun for fighting through Nakatomi Plaza
    360
  768. aerosolized?!?!? cappy learned a new word lol
    359
  769. I served on a US submarine for 5 years, our deployments got extended constantly.
    359
  770. Meanwhile in Russia Vadim, we need new machine gun. Vadim grabs a ak, puts ammobelt on it There
    359
  771. Brother, I'm a vet who has been playing C&C Generals since it was released. Thank you for that reference. 😂
    358
  772. So you're telling me this thing is the size of a B-21 but carries twice as much load? How is that possible?
    356
  773. I appreciate the strategic perspective. It gives me hope. I have a close friend who lives in Mariupol and I'm really worried for them right now. I've been feeling really hopeless knowing her and her family are in that situation right now and not being able to do anything to help.
    354
  774. Came for the F-35 Stayed for the Italian having a breakdown
    353
  775. Two words: "rimmed casing". Generally speaking the PKM works so well because it uses a feeding system that can work only with rimmed cartridges, but these are inferior when it comes to magazine feeding because of the dreaded "rim-lock" problem. Therfore the ex-soviets have a better GPMG, NATO has better DMRs.
    353
  776. "How did FPS Russia make that look so easy?!" This had me in stitches! Lol thanks for the throwback!
    353
  777. The “cope cage” from my understanding isn’t supposed to be used to prevent anti tank weapons like javelin, but instead is supposed to prevent the use of loitering munitions or kamikaze drones. The Armenia-Azerbaijan war showed Russia just how affective loitering munitions are against Russian tanks. I found several news sources that discuss it extensively. The best one is Atlas news. You should definitely check them out
    351
  778. Nice work Cappy! As a Mexican myself I got to say, you Got it pretty accurate and I strongly believe that your prop for a resolution on this matter should be taken more in consideration. Love the way you make geopolitical war related issues pretty easy to digest.
    351
  779. Change the channel name to spare parts
    350
  780. The Bradley was awesome in the first gulf war. I was a gunner and got my M2A2 brand new. HE shredded infantry, AP rounds melted several MT-LBs and my TOWs got three tanks. We even pulled an Iraqi uniform out of the tracks. It was my home for 9 miserable months but it exceeded all of our expectations and got me and my crew home. A CO 7/6 INF. 1st Armored Division.
    350
  781. This the only channel openly stated that he is bias. But trying to be neutral which is very refreshing in this moment where everyone wanted to push their own agenda. Kudos
    347
  782. How did you forget about the giant communication antenna in Cuba used to control the Goldeneye satellite? It was used by a former MI-6 agent, but was fortunately destroyed by yet another MI-6 agent. There was a documentary about it.
    347
  783. Urban warfare It's all about fish and chips, "Fighting In Someone's House & Causing Havoc In People's Streets".
    345
  784. Task & Purpose should do a video on the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. Does Russia’s refusal to aid Armenia when they invoked the collective security clause of their treaty shatter Russia’s reputation as a reliable geopolitical partner? I think it does.
    345
  785. If your training seasoned crews, already familiar with 152mm towed guns, it make sense that training could be effectively quicker ,as they already have proficiency with the basics, and specific tasks in the team, and only need to learn familiarity with the particular gun.
    345
  786. Tango Uniform = Tits up???
    344
  787. I was a driver and gunner in Iraq for the M270 MLRS, and yes, it will make a HUGE difference.
    343
  788. I still don't want your Toyota even with the fins.
    342
  789. You should do more videos like this one. Explaining some of the small engagements that made up the larger conflict.
    341
  790. Omg for someone is watching at home in Telford i burst out laughing was not expecting the town i live in be mentioned in anyway and how you butchered the name was the best gift anyone could give me! Thank you! ❤️
    340
  791. I thought drones were a huge part of the battle too. I remember Bob Woodward talking to 60 minutes about the. Style back in 08 I think
    340
  792. Dude was in a such a hurry he didn't get out of his bedroom yet before making this video.
    339
  793. I cant wait for everyone to roast him on the scimitar pronunciation
    339
  794. The issues with these carriers the fuel consumption on a ramp jump is insane compared to catapulting. The other issue for China, US Carriers can put to air double the aircraft two times as fast. These are good if you’re going to pick on a smaller power but can’t go toe to toe with Nimitz or Ford class carriers.
    339
  795. This looks like another project that will go nowhere.
    338
  796. wow, some of those jabs really cut deep, the observations were definitely sharp and on point. I do feel that some of them cut a little close though, it's not good to stab someone in the back over their interests.
    338
  797. "we don't want war, but..." 🙃
    337
  798. It's actually pronounced "Izbushensky Charge"
    337
  799. "All you have to do is be a little less worse than them!" Reminds me of "You don't have to outrun the bear, just the guy next to you."
    335
  800. He always calls me a spare part but im just so useless that they wouldnt use me no matter the circumstance. The scope is shit if it cant run doom.
    335
  801. Great video I couldn’t put my phone down
    334
  802. I had a stripped down humvee in iraq , traded armor for speed , worked out but I wont lie , those were some pretty anxious rides Thanks Cappy
    330
  803. The WaPo article was also scrutinized by Ukrainian war correspondents. There was also a third direction of the offensive towards Vasylivka, to cover the western flank of the operation. In hindsight, Gen Milley’s idea to concentrate all of the available forces in the main direction of Robotyne would have been a huge gamble that would have also failed but with bigger losses because of the exposed flanks. Regardless, the elephant in the room is that the amount of military aid to Ukraine is absolutely inadequate for conducting offensive operations, despite the huge stockpiles of weapons the US has accumulated during the Cold War. The US has over 6000 tanks, over 11000 IFVs, 1400 MLRS, and so on. The fraction it has made available to fight Russia is so minuscule makes you question its intentions in supporting Ukraine. WaPo article also has an element of a political request to shift the blame to the Ukrainian army. But how do you expect a combined arms offensive to work without air support and without combined arms? Ukraine simply did not have enough armor in the direction of Robotyne: 100 Bradley’s, 18 Leopard 2s, and Soviet tanks. This is nothing. And, drones were apparently an even bigger problem than mines.
    329
  804. The thing that seems to be missing in your analysis for troop transports is that it wouldn't be entirely dependent on sea travel. If they achieve air superiority for any length of time they'll be able to ferry in troops by air. Not that this means they can just go on in tomorrow, just thought it was worth mentioning.
    329
  805. 5:39 Know a guy who served as a truck driver in the Russian military. According to him, most of the trucks were on undrivable conditions just rotting in storage and was only given proper maintenance before the inspections. He told me that he once had to steal some parts from another truck to pass said inspections because there wasn't any in the storage. It was in 2016.
    326
  806. Speaking as an employee within the ‘military industrial complex’, you better believe if the government wants to boost production and can show steady demand for years, industry will respond as fast as possible. However, we are being faced with the same labor shortages that the rest of the economy is facing and that is a direct impact on the health of the supply chain and it’s ability to pivot
    326
  807. I'm gonna sell my old Lego to the army as a modular next gen system. Any more buzzwords I need?
    326
  808. My grandfather was a forward artillery observer during WW2. He was beyond the front lines. During the Battle of the Bulge he was wounded twice in one week, the second time so bad he was initially listed as killed. Modern drones make it much safer to get artillery their targets.
    326
  809. Tip from an old Drill Sergeant. If we know your name, that's NOT a good sign.
    325
  810. Lol...100% correct and then the whole, why are the engines overheating all the time fiasco. The last time this happened was right before Iraq I think it was...they kept promoting light and fast strike forces...not taking into account russian ATGMs and other large weapons proliferation across the planet. Next thing you know...ive got sand bags under my feet and whatever metal on the doors...or the old, take the extra vests and put those on the doors. How the hell did we survive those first few years.
    324
  811. I had the opportunity to go to General Starry's home around 2012, shortly after he had died. (I did not meet him personally) His basement looked like a library, and he was known for being an avid reader. The relative who knew him and let me see the home said he was sharp till the day he died.
    323
  812. "Infantry out in front when facing enemy anti tank capabilities, something the russians didnt do in ukraine." They didnt to start, since they thought the ukranians werent going to fight. Once they realized they were in a real war, they starting applying their actual doctrine based on heavy firepower and abandoned armored spearheads.
    322
  813. SGT York is a true American hero. Anyone who makes a video regarding SGT York’s WWI service get’s a thumbs up from this former Army sergeant.
    321
  814. @taskandpurpose 4:54, Oct 7th attack which killed *12,000 people. Should say 1,200 people.
    320
  815. I've never been in the military but i just love this guy
    318
  816. It would be nice if he had at least mentioned that it was a derivative of the G3. The G3 was meant to be a modular weapons system in 4 cartridges. First in 7.62 nato then 7.62x39 then 5.56/.223, then In 9x19mm. So the reason it worked from the beginning was it was a scaled down version of the G3. This is to completely ignore the HK33 in 5.56 as well.
    318
  817. Just a week ago i saw three running down the main road in the north east of Taiwan. BTW, as a Taiwanese, I'd like to point out that the geography description is opposite from the fact, the west half of the island is the populated plain rather than the east.
    318
  818. Replacing all m16 with m27 seems kinda weird to push for now what with the 6.8 NGW test going on.
    316
  819. Do no underestimate two Brits in a shed drinking tea. Much can be achieved.
    316
  820. Foreign Affairs! Love that magazine. Balanced and deeply researched articles that delineate the issues in a knowledgeable and nuanced manner. Good on you!
    315
  821. Looking at developments on both sides of the Atlantic, it seems a bit more certain now that after 40 years of iterating on the products of the late cold war we've finally reached a technological crescendo whose full exploitation requires not just fresh tank designs, but a whole new paradigm of what a tank is, how it operates, and how it fits into the larger force.
    315
  822. Outstanding as usual. XM8 will always be a “video game gun” to me. I’ve shot that beauty in countless Tom Clancy games lol. Watching this on the shuttle to MEPs. Shipping to Jackson 91H tomorrow. Can’t wait to see how this channel grows the next 4 months. ✌️
    314
  823. If they can make the rounds from recycled material the army could start cleaning the oceans for ammo lol
    314
  824. LOL The anime references had me on the floor bro
    314
  825. Cappy: Mentions India Indians: We've been summoned! Everyone assemble in the comments at 0400 for Mr. Crappy
    313
  826. Love how you try and keep your own bias out of these videos, always informational. Thanks so much for all the time effort and research
    313
  827. Other thing... If you remember, the major clashes in Donbass started with Igor Girkin's special forces group taking Slovyansk. Why Slovyansk, which is deep inside of Ukraine? So, because is in the center of Yuzivka gas field, where Ukraine with help of Shell planned to produce about 10 bln of cubic meters of gas every year back in the 2013. With addition of gas from crimean sea shelf, Ukraine for 2020 could reduce drastically dependence from russian gas supply.
    312
  828. As an Australian, I am deeply saddened that we are not your favourite ally, though I understand why.
    312
  829. The quality of content on this channel has shot through the ROOF this year. Thank you for creating content on and from a unique perspective. This is dope, thank you.

  830. This is a pretty poor representation of the M14 and gives in to a lot of the myths surrounding it. If anyone is interested in the real history of the M14 check out small Arms Solution's video on it. A couple things, no the M1 Garand and M14 did not fire the same round. The M14 was not actually an improvement in every way over the M1 Garand, the M1 has a much better gas system. The Officers who defended it wherefrom ordinance branch and were really defending their careers. Also, there were a ton of M14s in war stock at the start of the GWOT that's why they were modified and used while waiting for more modern and effective rifles like the KAC M110. Sorry for the rant this video just triggered my autism.

  831. 6:53 you got that wrong Cappy. The 7,92 (x 57) is actually bigger than 7,62 Nato.

  832. India has been growing as a market for western and in particular US aircraft. India has purchased C-17s, C-130s, Apache, Chinooks and MH-60R Seahawk and P-8 Poseidons.
    309
  833. I have to ask what environmental conditions the DoD considers 'gay'.
    308
  834. I love the underdog military stuff. Trainer aircraft turned into fighters, remade WW2 era ships, and Eastern European post Cold War firearms.

  836. Hi Cappy, i found your channel just before christmas last year, and I have nearly finished watching all your videos. Informative and I like your humor. Love from India.

  837. The border is too valuable in an election to be resolved by the current duopoly. See recent border bills not voted on as it couldn't be used in the upcoming election as a divisive issue. I've listened to old radio shows were the issues were being argued over, in the 1940s. It's an opinion.
    305
  838. I'm pretty sure reason the US started using this "Universal Camouflage Pattern" digital Camo was to trick it's enemies into using one themselves, causing them to be easy to spot and shoot... https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/raw/p03ny45f.jpg

  839. You should've included the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation war with Pakistan when US openly supported Pakistan and came to strike India.. when USSR submarines came for rescue..

  840. If the Rifle Platoon gets this, I would keep the M4 for Squad Leader, RTO's, Medic, Ammo Bearers in Weapon Squad. Comparable to the role of the M1/M2 carbine from the 40's to the 60's.
    304

  842. My favorite Stryker is the tank destroyer variant. It’s like my dad, non existent.
    303
  843. When I worked for a particular defense contractor, my team was developing tunnel mapping technology. The solution doesn’t always have to come from the sky. There are some ingenious ways to deal with the tunnels and underground bunkers without the use of gravity. Fun stuff.
    303
  844. It looks like an interesting super modern vehicle. It’s just that Russian armoured doctrine from WW2 through the Cold War involved overwhelming the enemy or potential enemy with huge numbers of simply designed vehicles. The Armata is 180 degrees from that doctrine. It also comes at a time when the sophistication and number of hand held anti armour weapons are making the viability of the MBT concept open to question.
    303
  845. Environmental laws are stopping France from arming itself? That is insane.
    302
  846. YOU DID NOT MENTION THE TEN'S OF THOUDAND WHO ARE BEING KICKED OUT OF THE MILITARY FOR REFUSING THE JAB

  849. Any veteran will tell you hitting 50 mph in an up armored Humvee is like re-entering the earths atmosphere in a space shuttle. The transmission is burning your calf hair off, everything is violently shaking, lights are flashing, the radios going off but you can't hear what's being said, and you can barely maintain control of the pencil thin steering wheel. all in all, a very memorable experience.
    300
  850. About a time someone gives credit to the Ukrainians, their determination and their competence.

  851. I'm curious who these glowing reports of Land Warrior were actually coming from. I was in 4/9 during 1-2 years of testing it stateside and working out the kinks (even back when it had the gun-cam), and our 15 months in combat; the REMFs loved nerding out over it, but I can't think of a single day to day squad leader who didn't hate it with a passion. Off the top of my head, I can remember a dude being stuck up in the hatch while under fire and just losing his mind that "I'm going to die because of all this crap on me", overheating batteries, and the heads up GPS showing our location as in the middle of the pacific ocean. Our leaders carried it every day but virtually never chose to use it for its intended purposes (namely because it rarely worked even if they did), which really means it was like 20+ lbs of just dead weight. It is obviously a cool concept and no doubt the future of war, but the same officers that for better or worse endorsed anything "modular", did the same thing for anything that made you look like Robocop well before it was combat ready.

  852. I think this rifle has potential.

  855. Remember that passive systems are largely useless against unguided weapons such as close range RPGs. They also do sweet FA against APFSDS rounds. A hard-kill system would be effective against the former, and might degrade the effectiveness of the latter.
    298
  856. Wait. I thought this videos was about M240-L. You mention it at the beginning, then proceed to compare M240-B to PKM and M60 and then move on to a completely different weapon. What.
    297
  857. Ive been to many westerner youtubers and i gotta say you are surprisingly accurate. Not 100 percent but close enough. Indonesian here.
    297
  858. "I FN love the FN FAL" Nice one.
    296
  859. I love to use “silencer” instead of “suppressor ” in the gun store, because it pisses off so many people when I ask them where in the NFA is the word suppressor used? Haha
    294
  860. When we are talking about "punching through steel" keep in mind 3 things, 1) the type of steel (is it a high RHC or something akin to armored steel with a hardness of 450-600) 2) the type or "composition" of 5.56 or 6.8, meaning what type of 6.8 is being used compared to the 5.56 (M995) that would likely penetrate that amount of steel 3) what barrel length was being used to fire that projectile=what speed the projectile was moving when it penetrated that amount of steel
    293
  861. The C-130 is an awesome platform. Still flying 60+ years later. This weapon is perfect for C-130s.
    292
  862. Minor nitpick, the M16 and most ar’s don’t use a short stroke gas piston. They use direct impingement derived system, that is the gas directly impinges on the bolt without the use of a piston. The 416 was designed to use a short stroke gas piston in order to cycle more reliably with a shorter barrel, at the cost of weight of the piston, whereas the direct impingement system of the traditional ar wouldn’t cycle reliably with the pressure generated in a shorter barrel.
    292
  863. As a Lithuanian, I am happy you covered our country. Cheers man, I always watch your videos
    290
  864. This is a good teachable moment for the US Military. When you can't do combined arms, what do you do? Ukraine has done a good job with the forces they have. I'm sure in the future there will be a lot of What If History channels asking what if F-16's were present during the counterstrike. Also I wonder who will get the contract for a demining system that can handle the mine density the Russians laid down.
    289
  865. It's not a lack of resources, but rather will.
    289
  866. But is it modular?

  867. Hello young brother, you had commented that the previous generation would be skeptical of acogs. I served when LBE was considered body armor. That was over 35 years ago. I believe that all of the kit that you guys have is terrific and I'm JEALOUS. Over the past 25 years you younger troops have used GPS, full view gas masks WITH external filters, body armor, etc... They had just started issuing kevlar helmets and we still were driving jeeps. We had an actual mission on the German border 365 nights. Hell, our night vision gear was the type that attached to an elastic contraption that was worn on your noggin. It had padding where it sat on your face and felt like it weighed about 4 or 5 pounds. We also had a tripod-mounted night vision scope, more like a telescope that weighed around 25 pounds. Anyhow, it was so long ago (haha) that my son is now a veteran. I'd go back in a New York minute. Later Tater. 😎 The Secret Squirrel

  868. Dude, Cappy, I've been watching your channel for a year or so now and I'm seriously impressed at how this channel has come along! You've really created something that's just the right mix of interesting, informative, and sincere in its journalistic balance. Keep doing great work!

  870. As the son of a Iraq War Veteran I was always interested in this phase period of war in Iraq. As unfortunate as it is we must learn from this to use in the future. And to never forget the sacrifices of those who were there. Thank you for making this.
    286
  871. You’re my favorite, a lot of information while also trying to be non biased (you tell us when you are) while other people are just government spokespeople, thank you
    284
  872. I can attest to my own role in Iraq in terms of handing out bags of cash. No doubt 75% of the cash was stolen after I distributed it to all these "small business owners." However, the major difference between a Western NATO army and the Russians is that I had to account for every single dollar of the micro-grant fund. And I mean literal bricks of brand new, straight from the US Treasury, American $50 dollar bills (even NATO partners used dollars as it is the proper currency used anywhere, Iraqis won't take Kronor!). There was no way any of us could steal even a tiny amount. I recall one American officer tried by faking the micro grants, and because he was attached to a US Army ODA team he had less oversight, but he was caught when he tried to bring the money back and spent five years in prison. In the Russian Army, the $500K in micro-grants at the Corps level would have turned into $250K at division, and then $100K by the time it got to brigade, and $75K by the time it came to the battalions.
    283
  873. The Maxim is still very effective in a fixed position. The devils paint brush. Water cooled so no need to swap barrels. Its big and heavy so if you need to move a lighter more modern machine gun would be needed. PKM, M240, etc.

  876. Bear in mind, it took 2 years of planning and building for the allies to punch through the Atlantic wall - but Paris was liberated just 2 months later. Ukraine has painstakingly chiselled a hole through the Surovikin line, but if they can exploit that opening, we could see some devastating moves as there’s no longer any time to build fortifications.
    280
  877. Okay Cappy, I'll get this in so maybe you'll actually see/read it. I worked this exact mission ~a decade ago. Obviously, the specifics have changed, but a lot of the trends and imperatives have not. My thoughts: -Yes, the GBU-57(which we have endlessly tweaked) is probably not able to get to the deepest stuff. The -72 wouldn't be in development or have $7B thrown at it if that weren't the case (although I suspect the need to defeat Chinese super-concrete elsewhere may be a driver as well). The double-tapping idea is new. That would require REALLY damned precise guidance. I'm sure it's possible or it wouldn't be mentioned. Wonder if that works as well on rock as concrete. -The REAL challenge for some time now is less about how deep and hardened their facilities are; more about their program's breadth and redundancy. This is a major reason Israel wants us to do this mission--they know they don't have the capacity anymore. But really, neither do we. Because... -This is not, nor will it ever be a mission to "take out" their nuclear capability. That ship sailed a long time ago. Their program is too-evolved; too redundant. This mission is a first strike to take out what is deemed to be a "sprint" by them to get to the finish line, so we can set their program back a MAXIMUM of ~two years. They absolutely could rebuild it, even if we're hugely successful. And taking that stuff out is a TALL order. CAN we penetrate and successfully prosecute a lot of this? Yes, but we'd almost assuredly not get it all. It's a LOT of shit. -That CSIS notional plan is already huge. It makes this more than a first strike. It makes it all-out war. Big consideration. -No, their ADA is crap. Barely a consideration a decade ago; probably even less now. -Missile hunting has been/is/always will be a high-failure game...until we get precision strike. -The Iranian strategy is to always have the OPTION to build weapons. This is not contestable. Also not contestable is whether or not Iran is TRYING to build weapons. This is farcical. Iran has NEVER decided to "build a weapon," only to continue maturing & thickening its CAPABILITY such that, when/if it ever does it can do so despite all efforts to stop it. It has intentionally used this issue as an opaque Sword of Damacles (Kori Schake wrote about this 26 years ago. TWENTY-SIX) since the 90s. That basic reality has not changed.

  878. I honestly disagree that drones will make tank obsolete but it will open up a new layer of defensive weapons that go after drones using both soft and hard kills. I would also like to say that the drones the Marines are getting look amazing. I hope the army brings them all the way to the squad level

  882. "Finland and Norway. These are the two new nations headed towards NATO membership." I think you meant Finland and Sweden. Norway has been a NATO member for a good long while. We host an annual arctic military exercise for all the NATO countries called Cold Response. We also have a bunch of US tanks and other vehicles in storage, plus about a thousand US marines stationed up north during the winter months.

  883. DoD : We don't need field demo, we can try the gun via BF. Save money is better

  886. Tanks won't likely become obsolete. It's far more likely that drone counter measures will become common either on the tanks themselves or with some sort of tank support group keeping them safe from drone surveillance.
    276
  887. I was an engineer for the AIM-9X around when this happened. Obviously I can't say why it missed or anything more than what you have in your video but as far as publicly available information you did a good job explaining it!

  891. Hey Chris. Can you do a video about CAS aircraft like the A-10 and the AC-130?
    271
  892. I served on T-55 which comes with a PKT - that is the PK modified for use in a tank. The PKT was the one piece of equipment which always worked no matter what. It is as reliable as the AK. Since its rounds were considerably cheapter than those of the 12,7mm DSK, not to mention the gun shells, it was also the one piece of equipment we canstantly used and, consequently, the one we could hit the target with every time. While we would hit the target using the 100mm main gun in less than 30 % of the cases, we would hit the PKT targets at 1000 meters almost 100% of the cases. We even tried to shoot at rabits using the PKT when our commanders were not looking, but we could not hit them. One needs to react too fast to shoot a rabbit using a machine gun that moves the same way the main gun does.

  895. For your question about why we decided to build our own IFV, there are hundreds of reasons. Primarily- We have brilliant engineers and companies that are capable of producing these kinds of vehicles. We are a world leader in thermal and IR optics, both vehicle and weapon mounted. Other IFVs simply put suck and aren't designed to operate specifically on our terrain. We need the ability to cross water, which this does. It has an unmanned turret, and cannons can be swapped between 30 and 40mm. Additional armor packages are included. There are plans to use the chassis as a foundation for a light tank with 120mm cannon in the future. We needed a domestic design to give our people jobs and keep the money at home. We need all this to expand our capabilities even further and take the next step into designing our own MBT in the next 2 decades. As it currently stands, this is on paper and in practice from the tests that were done, the best IFV on the planet so far in terms of what it can do. Krabs will have programmable ammunition in the future, but for now we have the gap covered with drones. We specifically have a huge drone program that will allow us to use them to designate enemy formations and correct fire. Basically the drones will work in conjunction with the artillery units and will communicate back and forth. This also includes the use of our new suicide drones which will play a very important role in stopping convoys and finishing off anything that didn't get killed by the arty.

  900. IMO, mounting night vision on the rifle and not the helmet is superior. I think when people used NODS, the get a false sense of security of thinking they can see others but others can’t see them. By putting the night vision on the rifle, troops are reliant on natural night vision and get a more intuitive sense of if they are truly visible to others. Also, rifle mounted night vision will naturally make troops favor passive aiming, whereas NODS gets troops to naturally favor active aiming. I think, all things being equal, an army equipped with rifle mounted NV will outmaneuver NODS equipped armies.
    268

  903. Trained with some Lithuania soldiers in 2014 in Germany, they are awesome and knew their shit. They also had just enough crazy in them lol. They got sent back early cause a platoon of them was drinking at a local bar and some drunk germans decided to talk shit about Lithuania, the germans got their ass kicked, Polizei showed up and they kicked their asses too and took their clubs. German riot police showed up or in their words "Police show up, we fight, we win. More police show up with shields and bigger clubs. An all out brawl between them and the Polizei takes place and they had a big struggle taking them down and over half of the Lithuania guys got away lol. They also train heavily towards taking on Russia. So I would say they are ready lol. Trading cigarettes and stories with them was my favorite park of each night.

  906. Thanks for giving the recognition to Ukraine 🇺🇦 for its success and not perpetuating the notion that “it’s all due to the West’s ordnance and supplies aid”. The fortitude and sacrifice of Ukrainians deserves the major part of the recognition. 👍🏻
    264
  907. Insane show of force just to make a statement to finish cutting the tree is so cool.
    263
  908. Thank you for this. You're literally the only source I know of that is striving to give unbiased information. I love hearing about Russian losses, but I know the reality is much more complex -- and you're here to explain it.

  909. Thank you for the steady, good content. You do really well with all your videos, and this is one of my favorite channels on YouTube. Keep it up 👍
    262
  910. You mentioned oil and I think this is absolutely something that people keep missing. I believe wholeheartedly oil/gas is Russia’s bigger objective. Those huge oil fields plus huge gas fields in the Black Sea were discovered in 2010. Ukraine began allowing foreign corporations to set up shop and start drilling in 2012 (Shell, etc). This was absolutely huge considering how the West desperately wants to reduce energy dependence on Russia. Well, what happened 2 years later? Crimea, Donbas, etc. With the fighting, foreign corporations fled and by stealing Crimea, Russia was able to seize 80% of Ukraine’s offshore gas reserves. Russia is not an economic powerhouse outside of energy. Oil & Gas exports make up 50% of their GDP, with most of those earnings going toward their military. This is why any talk of reducing energy dependence on Russia and Russia immediately starts trying to flex their muscles. Putin knows they can’t remain a “superpower” without western energy dependence.
    261
  911. M113 is still used by the US by some engineers. It's a perfectly good APC. When you consider previously ukraine was using hatchbacks to get troops to the fight, it's an exceptional upgrade. exceptional video as well. No other media is getting close to this sort of thing
    260
  912. As a current OSKOSH DEFENSE engineer who works on the JLTV platform, it is exciting to see our vehicle getting some great coverage. Thank you Chris for giving a breakdown of the truely modern armoured vehicle our troops will be protected within. The JLTV is such a beast of a vehicle and you covered so many of the great reasons why it is a vast improvement of both the MRAP and Humvee.

  914. The comparison between radio is pretty accurate. Early radio was bulky and degraded the individual soldiers capability to do war, but gave the group massive advantages. Eventually radios were shrunk and distributed to everyone without massive degradation of individual capability. I see these smart sensor packs following the same trends. Give the gen 1-2 to a few trusted individuals in a squad. Eventually they'll give feedback and shrink and it will be better distributed without the negatives of early systems.

  920. I’m not familiar with the m249 personally but I think if it’s built like a PKM ie stamped and riveted steel parts instead of spot welds, a reinforced barrel trunnion and a much more refined gas regulator with a distinct setting for mag feeding and a lower cyclic rate in general, I think these changes will turn the m249 into the ultimate 5.56 belt fed SAW
    256
  921. 1 on 1, BTR vs. Stryker, the answer is whoever shoots first. Both have anti-tank guided missiles that can easily take the other out. Also, I'll be frank, Russia is just better at off-road vehicles because they have to be. Their vehicles can handle rough terrain better. The Stryker's off-road capability is not that great due to being too heavy for the wheel size and ground clearance.
    256
  922. I have a ton of experience with the HoloLens, am a former Airmen, insider with Microsoft, and demoed it to some national guard units back in 2016/2017 and really tried to push for an IVAS, as I saw the possibilities first hand for war fighters. First, it's worth understanding that the Navy and Air Force have both procured HoloLens style devices for maintenance/training, I'd love to see an update there. The capabilities for aircraft maintenance are immense: an AI plus a SME can be pinged at any time to review my terrible safety wiring job and reprimand me for it. It can watch me do a tire change or refueling operation, ensuring compliance with technical orders. A couple things: IVAS needs a specialized helmet, and in it's current form it's integrated into standard helmets, a terrible idea. The Army and Microsoft couldn't figure out they needed a partner like Team Wendy to come in. It needs to be integrated into a helmet that can be mixed with a gas mask and other PPE. You can't have all of your IVAS soldiers screwed because someone lit off a CS grenade. Another problem was the controls, it took a while for Microsoft to figure out the control surfaces and joystick models that would be durable enough, and IMHO they still haven't nailed it. IVAS is really best for training, as you can record a live combat operation and have new members of your unit spend time in training "replaying" the actual combat operation your team went through as a augmented reality recreation. Your leadership and unit can review all aspects of a combat operation - all you need is a dark aircraft hanger - the actual combatants mapped to AI reactions. Every new boot in the unit can witness in every battle the unit ever engaged in, even moving side by side with their team. Giving every soldier an IVAS is unnecessary IMHO, it ought to be a specialist equipment for a new type of soldier focused on recon and electronic systems who embeds with combat infantry. The rest of the soldiers just have advanced combat optics and smart phones. In a future 2035 situation the soldiers won't need to fire their gun very often, they'll identify targets with their optics and drones and the actual targets will be engaged with tasked resources, such as a 40mm air burst smart ammo mounted on a walking drone 2km away, or an FPV drone with anti-tank munitions, or a JDAM.

  934. Funny thing is how westerners, some jews, and even arabs interpret helping Mujama as “blowback” as if it was some nefarious plot. Damned if you help and damned if you don’t.
    251
  935. Sadf ratels did pretty well against even Russian tanks despite no stabilised cannons , relatively small bore size , no air superiority and being out numbered at battle of the Lomba. ( Battle of the Lomba by Peter Mannal). Right terrain, training, good tactics and luck.

  944. People give the French a bad wrap after WW2. They got out played and were considered the most powerful military in the world until the Germans out played them. They have historically one of, if not the most successful military's in the world. They know how to fight.

  951. Saying that the HK has a 1MOA accuracy while the M-16 and the M4 have a 4MOA accuracy is a bit misleading. Most AR type rifles will relatively easily achieve 2 MOA. The minimum excepted accuracy for the army and the marines is 4 MOA as the rifling in the barrel degrades. which No Doubt will be the same standard for the HK 416.
    244
  952. About these South American "prisons." Most are just urban exile where the government sticks you in there and doesn't feed you or ask questions. The residents are very poor as they must fend for themselves, but rich criminals literally run the place for better or for worse, forming their own strange little prison community.

  953. I loved THE PENTAGON WARS. Great movie
    243
  954. Guarding Doritos😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
    242
  955. I learned about the oil and gas reserves a few days after the invasion. Looked up a few articles about the politics playing out in Ukraine in 2010-2014... Most of what I learned pointed toward this being a war about petroleum and Russia not wanting to lose the EU market to Ukraine. Also, remember there is a large petro reserves in the black sea off the coast of Crimea as well.
    242
  956. I think one thing you should've added was that although it does have an affective to about 1800 meters, the Barrett Light Fifties were originally designed as a Semi Automatic .50 BMG Rifle that could give more accuracy than say maybe an M2 Browning. They aren't designed specifically as a Sniper Rifle, more so as a Semi Automatic .50 Caliber Rifle.

  958. Incursions into South Korea from the North have been common since the armistice. When I was there between 1995 and 1997 (U.S. 8th Army), there was an average of 1 infiltrator identified every other day and small skirmishes on the DMZ about once per week. By skirmishes, mean brief episodes of a little shooting back and forth and maybe a mortar round or two. Usually, nobody got hurt. Sometimes, though, it was substantially more. It is policy to hide and downplay these events, in support of the mission. I have personal experience with this when we tried to get medals for a number of 2nd Infantry Division soldiers after a pitched battle, one time. Gen. Timmons (Under Gen. Gary Luck at the time) specifically denied them on the basis of supporting the mission in Korea--maintaining the free flow of commerce. Such things have impacts on markets.
    242
  959. I like the vehicles , I think they can play a nice role if used properly for sure. Like you said - and France gets to clear out it’s old inventory. Win win
    241
  960. There are no battleships ANYWHERE in the world except in Museums, the last battleships were the IOWA class which were mothballed and then returned to service by Reagan and then again retired in the 1990's. The term that SHOULD have been used was warships, not battleships, but cappy seems to be a grunt, so he probably doesn't know any better.
    241
  961. That was a great episode. I think Chris really enjoyed making this one as much as we loved watching it.
    241
  962. Props on keeping this inherently political topic apolitical! Probably one of the best videos on the historical relations of the US and Iran I've seen.

  963. Hello. Material science engineer here. A few points about the polymer casing. 1. Capability is not the problem. High performance polymers can do amazing things and can be tailored to the task. COST is the main limiting factor here. If they can streamline the process and reduce the cost of the base material to a minimum than maybe they can be competetive. 2. Polymers in general transfer heat very slowly compared to metals, as such most of the residual energy of the powder burn stays inside the casing on ejection. 3. Very low temperature is most likely the main problem for the polymer as it is designed for a high temp application. Still, many polymers in cars have to perform at -40°C to +50°C so it is doable but once again a question of cost. 4. Main problems for long term and large scale use are casing quality and casing stability. Like any other material polymers do degrade over time, the faster the harsher the environment. There are counter measures based on chemicals but these mean increased cost and also reduced performance.
    240
  964. Great presentation, Chris. Just a thought. Maybe what the Armata's is going through (as the intended next step in concept and design) is exactly what the T64 went through? Armata is what the Russian military wants to have BUT may not necessarily THE only way to achieve that step. The T64 was produced in rather small numbers (compared to other tank series), was never exported (prior to the collapse of the USSR) and became a working test platform for the development of next generation of tanks like the T80.
    240
  965. 5x5=20? That math don’t add up
    239
  966. Bradley has entered the chat. Bradley's main gun actually killed more tanks than tanks have killed tanks. One benefit of the TOW though, is that it has a longer range than the main gun. You can hit the enemy before they're able to hit back.
    239
  967. My Uncle saw a lot of action in Vietnam, and would stare into the trees in his backyard at random while he was in his kitchen, and until I saw his many medals, I never understood why. He would scan the tree line with his hand on his 1911, then his eyes would widen, and he would put his gun away, and put his hand in his head and cry. It got better as the years went by, until his death a couple of years ago Edit: God Rest His Soul

  971. Air Force PJs are no joke 2 year training some of the most Intense shit in the military, literally combat doctors.
    236
  972. you are the most underrated thing on planet
    236
  973. Generally we are finding that high precision is much more lethal than large payload. So the trade off of 10 tons of bombs seems to be a good trade for stealth, technology... And 5x more planes :D
    234
  974. f water it makes no sense. There are sharks in my rivers and crocodiles in my ocean. I don't even trust the pools and puddles in Australia
    234
  975. I think there may be another consideration here. If we over produce and store, the manufacturing plants will get converted to something else. The knowledge and machining will be lost. Keeping the plants "slow rolling" keeps the knowledge around, and there will also be a small amount of lower cost innovation. When a "ramp up" is needed, that knowledge will be absolutely invaluable. It is easier to create any factory when there is a pattern and process already in place, than it is to create the factory, the process, the plan all from scratch.
    233
  976. The best way to de escalation is for Russia to leave

  982. That is just such an attractive weapon. I hope this series of tests actually results in adoption of a new system for the US infantry. I’m not a gamer so that doesn’t matter much to me. I have heard you’ll soon be able to get your combat infantryman badge by demonstrating proficiency in Call of Duty.
    230
  983. Oh, I saw the "Backdoor draft" live and in person in 2005 - dudes who had been out for AGES being yanked out of their jobs and sent down-range.
    230
  984. Can't wait to see Bradleys and Challenger 2s working together in an armoured battlegroup. Will be a beautiful sight, and massively outmatch the russian capabilities.

  987. Man, everytime I see you posted a new video it gets me excited. Easy to understand while remaining informative, yet delivered with exactly the right amount of jokes and charm to make it entertaining. So many military/war YouTubers are either too dramatic and depressing, too biased or too serious. Usually a combination of them. Keep doing what you do man. Hooah?
    225
  988. I know Britain isn't in the EU anymore... And our missles apparently don't work, but we are geographically in Europe!

  989. You need to hop on Squad and be in a mortar team. You get to dick around at the FOB and fire mortars the whole game and have the other squads scream at you for friendly fire. Great time

  990. You're in a park, right? 2:48 in the background
    224
  991. Part of keeping the RU mil-bloggers is pragmatism. It allows truth to be spoken to power and an avenue for average soldiers to voice complaints so resentment doesn't boil over into open revolt (this might be due to them actually reading history about the deprivations that caused large sections of the Tsar's army to join the 1917 Revolutions) and the mil bloggers serve as a canary in the coal mine to ensure problems don't fester untreated. The other pragmatic reason to keep them is they can give evidence that can be used to fire Russian Generals or other high level officers that may have been promoted for political reasons and would otherwise be hard to remove. The Russians do in fact want the incompetent, sycophantic, political appointees in their officer corps to be removed, if for no other reason than they want their military to actually be effective at making their irredentist imperialist goals a reality, but first they need to find them and have some kind of evidence.
    224
  992. Watching this while WW3 is trending 😏
    223
  993. The LCS Class lacked air defense beyond self-defense and lacked offensive punch to even attack other ships. NSM missiles were later added to give it the ability to hit other ships, however it is still lacking air defense capability to deal with drones or cruise missiles attacking other ships. - As to design deficiencies and other issues is another whole set of factors making the LCS almost useless.
    223
  994. interesting to see a divergence of doctrine between the Chinese marines and US marines on beach landings. The Chinese Type-05 amphibious fighting vehicle can travel at 25 km/h on water and can be armed with either 30mm or 105 rifled guns, it's designed specifically for contested beach landings. This line of thought taken by the US marines basically rules out direct confrontation between China and the US over taiwan.
    223
  995. Slovakia and Hungary are not allies to Ukraine, don’t get confused, the fact that they’re on NATO doesn’t make them allies.
    221
  996. I contracted at Northrop Grumman working as an Aviation Electrician on newly obtained Boeing 707s, converting them to J-STARS. The work stools were all held together with dozens of strap ties. When I asked if they could be taken to the welding shop, I was told "we on a budget!" We didn't get to enjoy any of their corruption. Then they trashed all of the $25 per hour contractors so they could hire $22.50 per hour contractors. All this after a big shot from New York told us J-Stars is a money maker.
    221
  997. I got news for you bud. I worked on the Minuteman III as an MMTr from late 90s to the mid 2000s. A lot of the information that is public is misinformation for a reason.

  999. As an Egyptian, you really did an amazing job in this video. All the complex roots in this, the peace 1979, mubark negligence for Sinai, and 25 jan revolution. And maybe add two aspects to you - Egypt maybe the only country who defeated isis without any foreign troops. - Egypt had take advantage in that to strength it army and now it the only stable country in it's borders Thank you for your video ❤

  1000.  @Taskandpurpose  68mm would DEFINITELY penetrate body armor
    219
  1001. I'm Haitian, currently living in Haiti. First of all, great video and thank you. The situation here is catastrophic. We do need help. Most people who are against the mission of Kenya are delusional and have no idea what's going on here. All the main roads are blocked, it is very difficult to find gas, and anyone can get shot or kidnapped at any moment. The crazy part is all this could have been avoided years ago. What is going on is way deeper than what we can see. I have no idea what the people of Kenya think about all this, but I hope they find a place in their hearts to understand that we just need some help to get back on our feet.

  1004. It'd be so cool if Cappy and Brandon Herrera collabed on stuff like this. Cappy with his military expertise and Brandon with the actual firearm. Plus Cappy would have so much fun at the range.
    215
  1005. The MaxPro is definitely a double edged sword of an armored vehicle platform. I spent over a year riding around in one and the v-hull and extra side plating quite literally saved my bacon a time or 2 but....those things are so tall and top heavy and TBH fairly lightly armored in the grand scheme of things. They worked fine for convoy security on a no front lines insurgency based warfront but I can't really see how Ukraine could make effective use of these things ANYWHERE near the front lines. They're big as hell, easy to see and easy to hit and/or penetrate with modern weapons. If they intend to use them for 2nd line logistical support and light armor troop transport duties then yea ok but I hope they don't try to fight with the MaxPro on the front lines. And for the love of god don't exceed 45mph or Sergeant Majors across the cosmos will start having strokes on account of soldier exceeding safe traveling speeds!
    215
  1006. Real reporting,, taking real risks to tell a story, your best yet, Thankyou for this, it was very informative and a eye opener, keep up the good work.
    214
  1007. I’m glad I got to see you cover this topic. I work as a transporter with the US Army and the type of vessel that the transport/ferry is is a RO/RO. Roll on roll off. They are great for moving a lot of equipment at once but they are very slow and big targets. If they make the journey across successfully and put the ramp down at the berth, that’s where they’d be at the biggest risk. If a ship is sunk at the berth that can really slow down an invasion because these vessels typically need infrastructure to offload onto. Anyways that’s my little piece I could contribute. Can’t wait to see the next video!
    214
  1008. Imagine if it ran on windows "Sergeant, how do I pull up the tactical map? I remember i just pressed the button last week, and now it doesn't work" "Oh we updated, now for ease of use for the user, you need to press this button that pulls up a menu, then you need to nod 3 times, then blink once" Edit: just saw Microsoft won the contract
    213
  1009. It's way heavier and carries less ammo, I'm willing to bet the general consensus among grunts is that it's not that great. Stars and stripes isn't an unbiased source lol
    213
  1010. One of the main complaints was the weight of the machine gun ….yah it weights more than a PS4 control but not as much as your ass on the couch. Don’t worry tech will scrub 6 pounds off your MG and add 7 more pounds of new light weight gear.
    213
  1011. Another excellent analysis. One thing you didn’t mention: If Haniyeh was killed by an IDF F35 (and I don’t doubt it)…who was on the ground to confirm the room that the target was in, at the moment that the weapon was released? If I were the Iranian leadership, I’d be very concerned about an apparent Israeli airstrike in Tehran that evaded all of their air defenses. But I would also be very concerned about Israeli boots on the ground in Tehran to confirm targeting.
    213
  1012. Still eating the crayons from last video
    213
  1013. Great review !!! A good share of humor, sensible description - and after it there is a desire - to buy one for yourself)))
    212
  1014. Task & Purpose has time and again shown their incredible ability to provide a brilliantly informed and nuanced analysis of the Russo-Ukrainian War, always impeccably well researched and incredibly articulated.
    212
  1015. A landed missile doesn't mean a failed interception, one of the main methods of Israeli interception methods is not wasting ammunition on missiles calculated to land in open fields
    211
  1016. Good report, but you might have noted that the $1.7B cash sent to Iran by the Obama administration was essentially Iran's own money -- principal + interest released from accounts previously frozen by sanctions emplaced during the 1979 revolution.
    211
  1017. I was in Iraq during 2004. One of my squad had a little weather gauge that read 152 in the shade.

  1028. I loved my time with the 117! So happy to see them still flying. Makes me feel not as old. 37 TFW rocked! We really did “own the night”! It had to had the F designation. Because at the same time we were developing and funding a B-2. No way would we be able to fund two bombers. Even though their missions were completely different! Also standing alone it wasn’t completely stealth. Several things had to be retracted and removed to aid in its low RCS!
    203
  1029. Don't feel bad. My call sign was WATER DAMAGE!
    203
  1030. North Korea also designed a new Wheeled Tank Destroyer also called " M2020/2024 ", it resembles an American Strike IFV / Russian BMP-3 but with a 155mm duel purpose anti-tank / field gun and 4 ATGM systems.
    203
  1031. I'm torn on the issue. Direct US military action, ideally with cooperation from/with the Mexican government, could really do damage to cartels. On the other hand, history has often demonstrated that a bombing campaign not done in conjunction with efforts to fix the root cause of the conflict typically results in little permanent change at the expense of innocent lives and a great deal of goodwill. As for China, from my understanding, fentanyl doesn't really require too much investment to make after you get the initial setup out of the way. It might be hard for natural opium producers like Afghanistan and Myanmar to keep up with synthetics, but a different supplier will likely pop up for such a lucrative market. It would be very hard to stop fentanyl flow into Mexico over the long run.
    203
  1032. This highly suits the new Marine Force 2030 proposal. Autonomous combat support vehicles capable of being distributed on a near squad level

  1036. Great video Cappy!! I'd love to see you cover the 2nd & 3rd order consequences not having Wagner will have on Putin/Russia going forward, now that they've been disbanded/absorbed by the regular Russian military. Namely what happens in Syria/Africa, the middle east & Ukraine without Wagner's presence Happy 4th of July!! 🇺🇸🎆🎇

    200
  1038. The importance of Bakhmut is definitely downplayed. People who do flat map analysis make that mistake. Bakhmut is a naturally defensible position because of its geography. A modern castle city. The enemy loses way more than the standard 1:3 ratio going into Bakhmut. If you have to set up a bottleneck somewhere, this would be the place.
    200
  1039. I don’t understand this mindset. Russia shelling large Ukrainian cities to the ground and destroying their infrastructure before a freezing winter isn’t seen as a major provocation… But Ukraine shelling a few airports directly used in an attack against their infrastructure is seen as a Huge deal. Thats just not logical in my opinion.

  1041. Very informative analysis. Admittedly, I find it surreal to be watching images of artillery shells and tanks and to be hearing them being talked about in terms of sheer, cold numbers. 1000 per day, 3000 per day etc. I see the reason why it is all treated like that, but whenever such images show up I can't prevent my head from going back to the moments in march 2022 when colleagues of mine and I took care of freshly wounded ukranian soldiers that had been transported to the hospital I have been working in order torelieve overwhelmed hospitals from poland and vicinity. One in particular had an artillery shell explode not far away from him and came with shrapnel in his brain, lungs, abdomen arm and legs, paralized from the neck down, barely stable after the first round of the necessary surgeries had been done as best as they could in ucraine before sending him to us with the helicopter. And that's my point. Each of this shell is potentially a dozen or more lives violently torn apart, dozens of relatives mourning, generations to come deeply scarred in their psyche. It's daunting, depressing and infuriating to think humanity cannot come to a better solution to conflict.

  1044. "latin is the root of all languages" oh, boy. not even close. English (just for example) is not a latin language, it's germanic (although we have lots of latin derived words). Germanic, slavic, greek, and pretty much every asian and african language is totally unrelated to latin. Good video anyway.

  1052. I like how you brought up the mental health issues of gaurd and reserve upon coming home. I personally had a hard time when I came back home from my first deployment, you go from feeling like you're actually doing something, straight back into your dead end job that you had before you left. Kinda like a way less dramatic version of the end of the first Rambo movie.

  1054. All of the BMPs you had Labeled as BMP-3 were BMP-2s. And a lot of the vehicles you had when you were talking about BMPs were MT-LBs, which are are roughly equivalent in capability to an M113, armed with a machine gun and little else. BMP-2 rocks the 30mm main gun, usually an ATGM mounted on the roof that the crew has to expose themselves to fire (I think) and a lack of thermal sights on most versions. BMP-3 is a much chunkier vehicle, has a 100mm main gun that fires high explosive rounds and ATGMs, a coaxial 30mm, and the more modern ones have thermal sights, though I think it is just for the gunner. Bradley is still better though.

  1055. Go with the CV90! They are awesome vehicles that can drive through almost any terrain, over 1 meter deep snow in the forest? No problem the CV90 can handle it. The Norwegians picked it for a reason, the bradley had to be air lifted to the test ground as not to get stuck during selection trials…the CV90 drove to the test site through dense forest and deep snow. The CV90 has proven itself in the desserts/mountains of Afghanistan also. Slap that grumman 50 mm auto cannon on it and call it a day, no need to waste more time.

  1056. Just a little correction for you mate the USS Gerald R. Ford displaces 100,000 long tons not 1,000,000 (million). Still she is a giant of the sea, compared to the USS Texas, a huge battleship from WWII,that was only 27,000 long tons, you get the idea how truly big a super carrier is.

I worked in that business for 6 years and got an up-close look at how big defense contractors treat the DoD like a cash register. But the DoD owns a big chunk of the problem as they created the bureaucracy that vacuums up about 1/3 of every taxpayer dollar. PS. Love your youtube stuff. Keep doing great work Cappy!

  1065. I'm going to just dump a small essay here since armour is a big interest of mine. First off I assert that the armour worn by medieval knights in the High to late medieval was the most effective armour out of all armour within its historical context. The disadvantages were also the same things that made it good, for example each plate harness was made to fit one individual, meaning there's little to no interchangeability, but also it gives the most complete coverage without restraining your ability to move and fight. The maintenence also required at least one or more servants for a knight to be able to get in and out of his armour and have it cleaned to prevent rusting, and to fix any dings and dents. All of the problems with medieval plate harness will be problems for modern body armour IF it is made to provide maximum coverage and be able to stop high velocity rifle rounds reliably, and that's assuming it's light enough to carry. Which is most likely why we won't see infantry wearing heavy armour for the foreseeable future. In my opinion, which is only based on reading and whatever video information I can get, the ceramic plate is probably the best armour for an infantryman today. For its protective ability it's lightweight, multiple plates can provide coverage for the vital organs from almost every side. The only thing that can compete with it and perhaps in some situations is better, is ar500/ar550 steel plates, which in function are very similar to ceramic plates. When it comes to protection I think we're at a point that innovation will lead to soldiers not having to expose themselves to the enemy to engage them. One example of this is the foxhound in the British army where it can travel extremely fast off-road, whilst being impervious to small arms. Then being able to going into a stationary formation that essentially creates a miniature fort. Then there's unmanned weapon systems as well, or unmanned surveillance to make indirect fire more effective. In short, gadgets, gizmos and things with engines make body armour less crucial than it used to be.

  1069. Cranky old trooper here. Used the mossy ad Infinitum in Iraq. Shorter and lighter are good things, but they really should have made this semi-auto. When you are the no1 man in a breach, after you blast the door you are usually one of the first ones in. At least with the mossy you could rack the weapon without losing your sight picture. This thing looks awkward as hell to rack and continue the engagement. And for the love of god, can we stop trying to attach everything to the carbine? You are always rolling with a squad/platoon so you are surrounded by ARs and machine guns. On load-limited missions I would carry mossy and a pistol, and everything was fine. BTW, your channel is great. Keep up the good work!

  1073. you forgot a main reason (atleast in my opinion) why police forces make heavy use of submachineguns. Pistol rounds even out of a rifle length barrel tends to over penetrate alot less then a rifle or intermediate round and when most instances your looking at areas with potential civilian casualties (such as in a apartment complex or a hostage situation) you really need to limit that as much as possible

  1080. This is the finest explanation of the ongoing battle I have seen - by a wide margin. Well done, Cappy. One small note, at the 9 minute mark you refer to a 'wide berth'. It is a 'wide sweep'. Giving a wide berth implies avoidance. Still, your best effort yet.
    181
  1081. I hated that uniform when I saw them release it (I was still in high school a the time). I like how you brought up the night vision talking point. They acted like that justified the fact that the naked eye can easily see it from 500 meters away. Some questions: how many soldiers did this crappy uniform get killed, at what cost to the taxpayer, and who paid for the decision to approve it?

    180
  1084. I know you've mentioned it before, but really the m16 wasn't the problem, it was the corrosive ammo and magazines that were the cause if most of it's infamous issues. From my limited understanding, I believe it's a similar case for the m9. That being said, the m9 needed replacing. However, I think sig was the wrong choice. Striker fire handguns have been around for about 40 years, and glock really hasn't had the difficulties with it that sig has. True, the army wanted a modular handgun, and the sig is that. But honestly, it's just a handgun. Your ability to change calibers, add lights, lasers, suppressors, ect., is NOT a game changer on the battle field. It's a cool guy factor. It's the ACR, the XM8, and the SCAR all over again. The military asks for a VERY specific do-all weapon, with infinite functionality and adaptability, then proceeds to utilize zero of its "modular" features, which then just become a hindrance. The army asked too much of it's new handgun, trying to make it into something it's not, instead of picking the gun that is great at being what it is: a basic 9mm pistol.
    180
  1085. Bigger question, why does the British MOD see the need for their new IFV to be fully amphibious. That seems to be the only/biggest differential between the flawed Ajax and the other proven options (CV 90, Puma, Lynx)? Of course the Ajax is severely flawed at the moment & it is not clear that the issues can be corrected.

  1092. Very recently Matsimus had posted a video regarding the Ajax IFV that they are planning to replace the Warrior with. Basically, they had a lot of problems that doesn’t sound too different from the Puma. Basically these things has major problems that hopefully, is a quality control problem and not a fundamental design issue and that the program may potentially be scrapped.
    176
  1093. @Task & Purpose A common misconception among foreigners is that India use the exact same export variant of Russian equipment ,whereas Indian used Russian weapons are very different and includes Indigenous systems/subsystems along with foreign made additions . For example Su 30 used by India are of Su 30 Mki variant which are equipped with Indian, Israeli and French made avionics, Mission computer, Electronics and Communications . Su 30 mki can also fire Meteor and ASRAAM missile along with Indigenous BVR missile Astra . India is going to replace / is replacing many of the existing Soviet/Russian made weapons with Made in India systems like Mig 21 and 27 with HAL Tejas MK1 and Mk1a Osa 9k33 SAM system with Drdo QRSAM Pechora SAM with Akash SAM etc... India has an existing manufacturing base for the production of critical spare parts for regular maintenance of Russian weapon systems .

  1100. Cappy, this was a story that needed to be told, and I don’t think you could’ve told it any better than you did. Sacrifice is a tough word. We all made sacrifices over there, but those service members shedding their blood and giving up their very lives to save one another gave so much that “sacrifice” alone just doesn’t seem to be enough. It feels like we’re dishonoring their sacrifices by pulling out this way. I’m really struggling to make sense of it right now.

  1103. Former tank commander here, there’s not an autoloader I know of in NATO or Warsaw that can outpace a trained loader (though would love to hear feedback if someone knows otherwise, I hear the Type 90 is pretty fast). I’m tracking the average autoloader takes between 6-8 seconds. You couldn’t be a loader in my company without being able to load consistently in 6 seconds or lower. I had a couple that could do so in about 4, and one that could do it in the 3s. Not even taking into consideration the million ways a 4th crewmember makes things more efficient versus another piece of equipment just waiting for a deadlining fault.
    170
  1104. @Taskandpurpose "mangal" is a brazier with a grill grate, visually similar to the first versions of the protective grates that were installed on tanks. So the correct translation would be king of grates. And about tsar you are correct, but the continuity comes from the Tsar Cannon, with a diameter of 890 mm, one of the largest cannons in the world for that time.
    170
  1105. This gun is a perfect example between the difference between hard facts and soft facts The hard facts of this gun is it's not quite as good on paper it doesn't have the same rate of fire and it's heavier The soft fact is how it's used ,its reliability and how easy it is to get ammunition again another great video
    169
  1106. You might be too young. In the early 80's the Army was testing hunter-killer teams using the M274 Mule in Germany w/stingers to see how many aircraft the could get a lock on. They were easy to hide and shoot & scoot. They concept proved very successful.
    169
  1107. Imagine a world where they agreed on the 50/50 split. A compromise that probably would have resulted in Iran developing wealth slowly over time instead of going through constant economic and political instability that has resulted in their present state. That would provide the long term stability any democracy needs to flourish.

  1110. The cats also were seen as massive good luck charms to the navy, so not having a cat was seen as a “curse to the ship” and was something that almost every single ship had on board during world war 1 and world war 2, if you want a really crazy naval cat look up “Unsinkable Sam” a cat which survived the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck, she was then rescued by the crew of HMS Cossack which was sunk off the coast of Gibraltar five months later, the cat was rescued AGAIN, was brought aboard the British carrier HMS Ark Royal which was then sunk by a submarine less than 30 miles from Gibraltar and Sam walked away from that sinking too
    168
  1111. I’m unsure if it’s the case for the eurofighter typhoon, but US planes with similar technology don’t need laser designation from ground troop. They can carry targeting pods on the fuselage which lase the bomb onto the target.

  1124. Terrific production values in this episode, Cappy. And you are correct, the Chinese are prioritizing their navy, recognizing that navies are the real backbone of national defense. Okay, yeah, I admit the battle is not won until there are friendly boots on the ground, but without a navy you can neither get there or provide logistics to the grunts. Still, well done, again.
    161
  1125. Really glad for the Marines and we are already seeing great progress. The Marine infantry of 5 years ago is utterly unrecognizable to the modern one. Equipment of the individual soldier has skyrocketed in quality and now the shoes on the other foot with memes of hand me downs, Marines get all the new stuff now.

  1130. 4:26 wow i cant believe they let you in during a live class for some b-roll footage! that is so cool
    159
  1131. Troops sitting on top... I believe the reason is because it's more comfortable than sitting inside it and it's a lot easier and faster to dismount. BTR has that tiny doors on the side and top that are hard to pass through, especially if the vehicle is moving. Being safer when a missile hits you on the outside? Very unlikely... Yes, HEAT works by focusing that inverted cone into a small area, but it is still activated by explosion. And explosion tends to go all the way, spherically. Plus, the pieces of the missile will fragment and go all over the place. With top attack ammo, even worse cos it will detonate more or less right among the guys sitting there. APFSDS might be a different story cos it's basically a dart. However, since BTR is lightly armored, the amount of spalling on the inside is very likely to be low. It will just whizz through and exit the other side. Like shooting a cardboard with a rifle from 2-3m away... As landmine precaution... Maybe, but I'm still sure the shock wave and the power of explosion will cause a lot of internal damage to the exposed soldiers, throwing them to fly through the air in the process... So, yeah... I'd say the reason is comfort and ease of dismounting, with the type of protection called "pray we don't get hit". That is why it is more useful as fire support rather than troop transport.

  1135. Cappy, I was a Marine In Iraq in 2006 and saw the MRAP drama unfold! You did a tremendous job explaining the issues surrounding the USMC's acquisition and fielding of the MRAP. I really do like your videos and I recommend them to all my friends.
    158
  1136. There is a DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) version, which is already being used along the China Indian border. As high altitude warfare necessitates engagements from farther out, there is also a SAW (squad automatic weapon) machine gun version with options of using magazines OR belt fed ammo box. So QBZ-191 is an entirely new family of weapons BTW, the shorter carbine version of the rifle is actually called QBZ-192, this was confirmed on the official Military TV channel when the journalist saw it in the Zhuhai air show few weeks ago. This weapon is also an infantry combat system overhaul.
    158
  1137. This channel has the best coverage of the NGSW rifles anywhere on the net, honestly. You've been covering this stuff better than the entire mainstream media, and that's worth something right there. The GD rifle looks better than the Sig bid from where I'm standing - comparing with the video of the Sig contender, the difference in recoil is astounding. Overall, the GD system seems to be a lot more compact, and probably a lot better for use in MOUT without sacrificing it's capabilities on open terrain. The only possible issues I could see with the GD bid is the recoil damper system with the reciprocating barrel getting out of whack in field conditions and accuracy getting degraded, the possibility of case failures or really nasty ejection failures, and the possibility of much lower quality trigger because it's a bullpup design that has to make use of a long trigger bar. Those last two, I think there's probably an easy answer. Obviously you know how the trigger felt, so I'd be curious to hear your comments on it. Additionally, you got to handle the ammo, so you could probably say whether or not it seems as tough as brass ammo. As long as it's as tough (or better yet, tougher) than brass cases, it seems like a pure improvement, no downsides.
    157

    157
  1141. Nice to see you covering rifles again. So it's as effective as an M2, weighs less, and it's collapsible for easy transport? Triple-win! Hope the logistics can be worked out for field deployments.
    156
  1142. When we compare the amount of armor that Germany used in 1941 in Ukraine to the amount of armor Ukrainian forces were given to break through Russian defenses we can only conclude that Ukrainian forces will need nearly a thousand tanks to break through. The Ukrainian army has to be able to absorb the loss of dozens of tanks in an attack and not even blink. Unfortunately the West has been fighting small conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan where small units were predominantly used. Well guess what, this is a war on the scale of WWII in the Eastern Front.

  1145. I've been under the impression that the cope cages are more to protect against light AT weapons being fired above the tanks from buildings in cities. A lesson learned in Grozny. That doesn't mean they aren't still cope cages, just that who ever came up with the idea probably didn't think they would protect against NLAWs etc.
    155
  1146. What are the chances that this whole endeavor goes the way of the SPIW, ACR, OICW, XM8, etc.?

    155
  1148. OK, the thing about us (🇬🇧) not using APCs before the cold war. During the second world war we built and used the 'Universal Carrier' Tracked, lightly armoured (7-10mm) 3 ton open top vehicle. It is, in fact, the single most produced fighting vehicle in existence at 👉👉 113,000 👈👈 Ford 4.0L petrol V8 Many different configurations, Scout, Machine Gun, Mortar, Artillery, Battle Taxi, 40mm anti-tank, flamethrower. Used by 33 different nations from my 1935 to 1960.

  1151. Proposal: Cappy plays ARMA III, with three teams - one armed with current US arms, Russian, and the third with a SPEAR loadout in a Ukraine-based map. See which team has the most casualties after a week of play. While not entirely true-to-life, it should give a general impression whether the trade of ammo vs range is worth it.

  1155. Man,,,, I carried the M60, 23 pounds, 45 pounds with tne and tripod. Also my assistant gunner carried my extra barrel, we split the 1500 rounds which was the required basic load. These new weapons systems are so much lighter, better for negotiating terrain and buildings, but if they could get away from the disassembled split link belt system that would cut down on more weight as well. I used to hump that M60 with 110 round assault packs in 100 degree weather in dense foliage, never could gain weight back then, lol! Props to the new weapons systems and the M60 also fired from the open bolt position, have a good one and keep widdling the short timers stick, God bless!

  1161. This is by far the best content on the war that got suggested to me by youtube. Thank you for your analysis. Watching from Germany, where the gas bill is indeed higher. In numbers: We pay now 30ct a kWh (before it was more like 5ct.) Others have it worse. I hope that support will continue through the cold winter and especially Germany will send more aid and equipment.

  1163. Thanks for highlighting USAF SOCOM troops, especially these guys! That you don't hear much about them is by design...they actively try to stay out of the public spotlight as much as possible, for mission-related reasons. The less attention they attract, the better to get their job done. Being sneaky bastards is a desired quality. They know they're damn good, and don't seek outside affirmation of that fact. Thanks again, from a retired AFSOC guy who really misses being deep in the sh*t with them!

  1169. Well done. 2 additional points: 1. Toys. JK, but the acquisition system was revolutionized. In ‘03-‘04 I rode around Baghdad in soft skinned Humvees with the doors off, and was one of the few with SAPI plate armor. I had an M16A2 with no optics and wore tricolor desert camo , blue force tracker sometimes worked, and to talk over the horizon we had an ET phones home thing with an umbrella looking dish that took 10 minutes to set up, and you guessed it never worked. (think Generation Kill type gear). By 2006, there were uparmored Humvees, Mraps, body armor, optics, new coms, etc. granted, the advancements were to meet increasing threat, but I was in combat development from 2001-2003 and most of that stuff wasn’t even on the radar. How many lives were saved? 2. POGs in combat: Yup. As a loggie in the 90s we practiced some asymmetric battle, in the 101st we actually did convoy live fires, MOUT (CQB now) and such, but this practice was not common across the entire army. And it was once or twice in a 4 year tour there. I was still nowhere’s near the level of prep I needed the first time I cleared a building. I hope we continue to invest in the equipment and training of All soldiers. Because even in peer or near peer battles, ‘POG’s will be in regular contact with enemy special ops and irregular forces.

  1170. Conventional and nuclear powered carriers are technically all steam powered. Conventional carriers just use oil to boil water. A nuclear powered carrier is also just a giant water heater. Nuclear power isn't anything like a power plant in Star Trek. If you go into a nuclear power plant on a carrier, all you're gonna see is a bunch of pipes and cables coming out of a big box (the reactor). They both just use steam to spin a turbine.

  1181. With Russia's current performance in its war with Ukraine, it is also pertinent to ask "Is Russia ready for war with Finland and Sweden?"
    146
  1182. Worth noting, self lasing targets is something most modern fighter jets (even regular F/A 18 Hornets) can do for laser guided bombs. More to the point, if multiple planes are airborne, they can lase for their wingman(and vice versa). However, if there aren't spec ops on the ground now, I wouldn't be surprised if there are in the near future.

  1183. It took 4,000 ships to land 250,000 troops & MASSIVE amount of supplies at Normandy over a period of about a month. Oh, and that was with TOTAL AIR CONTROL ie exactly 2 German fighters showed up for about 2 mins Also packing 9,000 troops on a single ship is a GREAT way to loose 9,000 troops to a single missile. It's one reason none of the converted liners that could hold 10,000 troops were used at Normandy invasion, or ANY of the dozens of Pacific landings.

  1188. This is one weapon I really loved back as a young soldier. I got first issued this back in 1988 at Ft. Carson with 4th ID. My Brother was in the 82nd Airborne and they had the SAW since 1985. I first saw it during AIT at Benning in 1986 and fired it. I fell in love with it. My first and second unit made me an M-60 gunner. That took a lot work to make my gun work. The SAW was almost brand new then from being issued Army wide. Mines came out of the box and I cherished it like a gift from Santa Claus. I cleaned it and fired it like a champ because I was gone from the M-60. It was light weight and I could march longer with it without kicking my ass. Being brand new I slammed drum after drum and qualified tops in my battalion with my SAW. I loved this thing so much that I would never let anyone touch it. Even my chain of command even saw how I cleaned and cared for it that it even got me soldier of the quarter in my battalion. It preformed flawlessly during our rotation at NTC at Ft. Irwin besides bad ammo. I shot down 5 drone airplanes during our brigade combine arms live fire exercise. My platoon sergeant wanted to know why I was suddenly motived with a new weapon at that time? So he shot it during our live fire and realized how light and easy recoiling weapon it was. The more you fired it, the lighter it got. After being an M-60 gunner for so long. The SAW was a gift from god to me back in the day.

  1189. Varying the design of your flares such that it makes it harder for the enemy to counter your countermeasures sounds like a good idea, actually.
    143
  1190. Wire guided weapons go back further than that. The Australian Brennan Torpedo was wire guided out to a range of 2000 yards in 1877. (Not a typo that's eighteen seventy seven) It was manoeuvrable enough that it could be turned around and strike the far side of the target. Not the first guided weapon, but the first practical one.
    143
  1191. Dude, you went from the Luger with a snail mag right to the Tommy Gun - what about the MP-18, the Lanchester, the Sterling, the Sten, the Owen, the PPsh-41, MP-38, MP-40, Beretta Mod 38?

  1193. a friend of mine was a PLA soldier. He told me QBZ is built cheap enough to be a consumable item in their daily training. In actual combat scenario, each squad has an armed vechicle with auto-aim machine gun and rockets. He just need to tap on a screen to let the machine do the killing.

  1198. The respect your chanel commands is huge, as a Mexican every single time I see one of these "cartel bad, Mexican military bad" stye videos its always the same shallow narrative that doesn't come close to the reality. The way you always dig deep into the subject makes it impressive. You understand that its not a black and white situation, you understand the way us Mexicans are always fed up with the government and that shoutout to the Mexican soldiers was just the cherry on top. Seriusly in every videos the Mexican military is always present as this inferior force to the cartels, Its like saying US soldiers were inferior to the Taliban in Afghanistan, its ignorant. Also you should mention the "narco culture" which is artist making songs to the cartels, then kids and the general and ignorant population makes them famous which just glorifies these rats. Also acording to some news articles culican small business owners have lost millions and millions of pesos. Keep this up, and may god be with you. CUACHIC!

  1205. Biggest war crime committed by the US in WW3 was bringing back the UCP ACUs
    138
  1206. One reason that each side had so many warheads during the Cold War was that each silo/base had to be targeted with at least one warhead. So it isn't as simple as saying "you only need 5000 warheads to destroy the world several times over". That would be the case if they were airburst fairly evenly over as many population centers as possible. But most nukes targeted other nukes, which means silos, airbases, and naval bases - the first two of which were often in remote areas.
    138
  1207. IRST is important because it provides passive tracking. Radar emissions can be seen by your target. IRST allows you to target an enemy without the enemy knowing.

  1210. The United States Navy is not even close to being stretched. The sailors and marines are getting paid more each day they are out on this deployment since they moved in the area of operations. I was sent out for ten months and yes it was stressful but the pay was worth it. Also they are actually doing the things that they are trained to do finally and that is a good thing. I just hope that nothing happens and everyone makes it back to port.

  1214. I think that one cannot discount the Taiwanese, Japanese, South Korean, Filipino, (and others) and possibly the Indian response to a threatened invasion of Taiwan. The containment of authoritarians is simply not up to the US alone. That said, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its failure to achieve anything cannot help but give China pause, and this pause should give the US and our allies the time to develop a counter measure that should prevent this event. Hopefully, the days of elderly authorities are limited. Unless we get one here in the US.

  1221. Regarding the "cope cages". A cage won't stop a $400k missile computer- but it will stop a drone dropped munition, or hand thrown munition. If $40 of angle iron is all it takes to stop a drone bomb (that are being used, and have been used in Syria), that's a no-brainer investment.

    133
  1227. But the same can be said of Drones, light enhancement optic, app assisted tactic, and climate controlled vehicles. But if you're happy fighting a war with a rock, by all means hand over all the advancements that engineering has provided. Does it work? No, not in any realistic sense. Does that mean we should stop working on it? Not if we want men to continue fighting wars while placing more weight on them than any other time in history.

  1233. I always had the impression that the old 1911 or maybe the Beretta were sidearms enough for the common soldier. He's going to mostly use his carbine anyway, so why bother with a modern design with rails and hooks and things for all the boogaloo of special operators?

  1248. Buddy that's what you call a solid recycling system. Start New gun contracts. Give old weapons to ally who will fail. Ally fails and enemy captures your old weapons. You now have new weapons to go back there with and out gun the enemy. Somebody got a medal for this.
    125
  1249. A small correction. China does have a 3rd gen portable anti-tank system HJ-12 which is similar to (possibly copied or at the very least influenced by) Javelin. Russia indeed doesn't have anything like that, most likely due to extreme technological backwardness and total reliance on Western or Chinese chips.

  1252. Hey Chris, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the new format. Honestly you brought a lot of very real news to the table. That sadly most people just aren’t getting much information on. It was a very informative and engaging episode, sincerely... BTW, Thank you for your service Chris, and thank you for your unique YouTube work. It’s certainly a channel of true value, that you have crafted here in my opinion. This type of information is not super forthcoming these days, mainstream news is pathetic. And many alternative sources seem to rant a lot. So it’s really refreshing to hear the sort of what’s, what of the current international issues. All summed up your way. And your other videos I’ll just say, are unlike any other YouTuber that covers such subjects. Anyway brother keep up the great work. And God bless! -Justin

  1255. Edit note: in terms of my predictions, ye this is spot on. There is no illusion. Russia will win eventually, this take is more on the possibility that the sanctions might spur them to more reckless action, as the old Soviet handbook teaches. Best case scenario from down below is either Russia collapses before the war ends (which I doubt suggesting China is starting a lifeline to them), or Ukraine and Russia agree to an unstable ceasefire. There are no winners anymore in this conflict for anyone, just survivors. The issue with following Soviet doctrine is that yes this works, when you have a healthy economy and a pure ideological superiority. The Soviets had literal suicidal loyalty in their soldiers and a populace that was willing to sacrifice their own comfort for the war. The Soviet era of soldiering is an antiquated concept. In a world where Russia could support itself, this would be technically light distraction and mild speed bumps. The Russian economy is gushing blood this moment. Also another thing you didn’t cover that I guess you didn’t hear: they activated the reserves in anticipation. It seems now that the Russian advance is taking such losses they need to replace them with reservists. There is Russian state media of Reservists saying they’re headed to Ukraine. Putin may be a calculating spy, but he’s never faced a significant loss before. He’s never really lost. He doesn’t know how that feels like. Everything he’s done up until this point, has been a resounding success or a mild in between. He has never reached a roadblock of this size, and with his own age (guys like 70 now, I think he’s reaching that threshold of acknowledging his own mortality) catching up to him alongside the crumbling of his economy, his nation, his army’s spirit, and even the spirit of the populace, he might be inclined to do what the Soviets did against the Germans and just throw everything all at once, which would be suicidal. Again, I have no doubts the Russians are reaching for round 2, getting that huddle together to go for second half, I mean Belarusian troops are joining in, whatever that means logistically is up to you I think they’re just coming in to 2v1 Ukraine honestly, but these hypotheticals are based upon the fallacy that the Russian homeland is doing just fine, which it is not. They did not anticipate this much hatred from the West, and now there is no turning back the clock. Putin probably feels he’s in a death spiral now, and he is probably willing to sacrifice the entirety of his armed forces in a mad dash for some semblance of victory. One more thing. According to the Ukrainians and US intelligence, the Ukrainians have a mole inside the FSB that’s feeding them info. More down below. Edit: also the Chechen claim that there are no casualties is so absurdly false after it was confirmed by multiple sources that a spec ops team of Chechens sent to assassinate the President were not only found out and killed, but they said that this was found out due to a “contact within the FSB”. As it stands all the Chechens were killed and there are gruesome photos to prove it, along with photos of other Chechen corpses who can be seen clearly with the markings of their respective units. Also many generals and even the foreign policy director are coming out with how badly they feel the war has gone. These are generals, veterans of countless conflicts from the 90’s to the 2010’s. Also his chief Spy got grilled on LIVE NATIONAL TELEVISION when he screwed up saying that negotiations were an abject possibility to achieve some form of “victory.” Obviously Putin didn’t like that so later the guy apologized on state TV and said he was in full support of whatever Putin was doing. Putin is being fed by sycophants at this point, enabling his madness. All these yes men constantly bowing their heads is getting to him, and the thought of losing a war- no, he can’t lose. He never loses. Putin doesn’t lose. One last thing: I fervently believe and will be surprised to see one NATO/EU soldier actually step foot in Ukraine. Everyone’s clamoring for the bigger powers to help. Beyond weapons and supplies, let’s get real folks. As much as it’d be cool to have a Gondor moment where Kyiv is magically saved by Texans in tanks and Polish special forces assisted by the NATO nations all descending on Russia. That’s a pipe dream. They will never do anything beyond putting out lawn chairs and watching. And I will drink my prized wine if I see one of those blue helmet idiots figure out where Ukraine is on a map.
    122
  1256. Great analysis! You’re still doing the very best analysis I’ve seen of this war so far. One point you might make that I think is really important is the fact that Poland has accepted 1.5 million Ukrainians into its country in less than two weeks. This is equivalent to the United states accepting 12 million refugees (because USA is eight times larger than Poland) in less than two weeks which I’m very doubtful would ever be allowed to happen. As far as the West is concerned I think the Polish are doing the heaviest lifting outside of the war zone itself.

  1258. He wouldn't be such a fan of the BAR if he'd ever had to carry it. The weapon and ammo were very heavy and cumbersome. One of the funniest imagines I have from Vietnam, is a little 90 lb. 4' 10" RVN soldier firing a BAR. Every time he pulled the trigger he went backwards about 3 feet until he finally tripped and went ass over tea kettle.

  1261. M203 had more mechanical issues as they got older and needed a lot of replacement parts to keep them going, the 320 is simpler to put on a weapon and I like that you can wear on your hip you don’t need that buttstock it barely kicks and they are new so they don’t need to be fixed all the time

  1263. Cappy some errors: 1) Primary issue with the T-72B3 (which is the most common variant) is the lack of good optics and good comms. 500.000 USD price tag means they ain't gonna have the best. 2) Soviet "Fulda Gap love session" Tactics involved tactical nukes. Full stop. This means the numbers game is meant to be like "you murdered half of us with a davy crocket but we're still 1.5x your number. Before you took the nuke to the face too.". The manual you cite is out of date, I think it even came out before the wall fell. 3) T-72 is based on the T-64. But made to actually work and be affordable. The T-62 was a stopgap measure made to hold over the USSR until the T-64 came out in sufficient, and reliable enough, numbers. Morozov was actually the man behind the T-64 and he considered the T-72 a cheap knockoff. The T-72 is the design that won, from UVZ, the competition that was held for something that actually worked rather than the T-64 which, mind you, until the T-64A still had the 115mm. 4) Fun fact: The T-72 was never given to Romania because we were too western friendly. The T-125 is a reverse engineered and improved T-72, if I remember right, Ural. Shame it never went into mass production... we wouldn't have the most notorious deathtraps in NATO rn if we made at least 200 of the 125s. 5) Svinets would go straight through the side of the hull on the M1A2 Sepv3 Cappy. The Abrams is a well armored tank but it's not got more than 100mm effective on the side of the hull. Heck even old Mango rounds could go through which is why in Desert Storm US armor never engaged in any action where they risked taking hits from the flanks. 6) A complete redesign of the T-72 was needed? Yeah, it's called the T-90. Which is basically a T-72, vastly improved in many ways, with a fair amount of tech from the T-80. You should check out the T-90AM for an idea what they're doing in terms of improving their tank force but... well the T-90AM was ordered, first, like a few years back and most of the units with those tanks are being held in reserve in case NATO goes Leeroy Jenkins.

  1264. Quad nods do have that aesthetic, but it must be uncomfortable without a counter balance.
    119
  1265. Slap 40mm auto cannon on abrams turret that isnt a grenade launcher instead of the wierd grenade launcher and 50 cal because the more firepower the better
    118
  1266. 0:32 to be fair, this isn't an accurate depiction of the environment this camo was designed for. It was more close quarters urban. specifically your aunt's living room.
    118
  1267. Being an Indian I will say this is the best analysis on Indian foreign policy by a western Chanel hats off sir
    118
  1268. We got some custom JPC’s, very slick. That some plates, and 4 mags, comms, Med and you’re good. The brass needs to take a course in economics. Spend the money you spend on the more high tempo operational units on all enlisted in a combat arms role and you will reduce development cost and long term associated medical costs.
    116
  1269. People talking about Cappy's decaffination, but he just sounds like that after being shrunk to 1/3rd his normal size.
    116
  1270. I'm not wearing any pants.
    116
  1271. To be honest, when I started watching I thought you said “Chris Crappy.” Sorry.
    116
  1272. Hey, Cappy and Task & Purpose! Thank you for making it apolitical but giving a genuine take on this. The best take I've seen so far because it's coming from an enlisted just like I once was. We're just regular people who are trying to make sense of this mess. My heart goes to every serviceman and woman who bled and sweated in Afghanistan, to Afghan people; interpreters and SF guys. Such events happen when our leadership loses its values, principles, and decency; when money talk, and truth becomes inconvenience; when lies and ideologies divide people. It's so fucking painful and scary
    116
  1273. Actually this "strategy" was pioneered by the US Marines during the "Banana Wars" in the 1920's. And was quite successful. When the Marines first landed in Vietnam in 1965 they used the same strategy, and it was working, till they were over-ridden by Westmoreland with his fixation on body counts.
    115
  1274. TY for covering mercs/ contractors. Our losses are somewhat greater than what was reported. We only heard about military deaths. No to very little coverage of contractor deaths even from "five eye countries" Let alone from the TCN's "third country nationals" that was not reported. But I have met, served with and witnessed many many of them dying at Kandahar, Bagram, Bastion, and Tikrit. I hope the Ukes win a stalemate, but I do not see it happening. We shall see, not my war. I am done with it all.
    114
  1275. Would you make a video about the corruption within the Border Patrol?
    114
  1276. Forgotten weapons had a super interesting series on Chinese warlord era pistols that goes deep into how they work and different variations
    114
  1277. Interesting video Chris but I think you need to check some of this, as the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 so I'm pretty sure the height of the cold was not 1991 to 1992. Also 222 battleships and 254 frigates.
    113
  1278. You forgot that police also prefer SMGs since they usually have to worry about civilians so they don't want bullets over penetrating their targets.
    113
  1279. I really appreciate the coverage of the State Dept aspects of these relationships, rather than the purely military components.
    113
  1280. I started college on an overseas military campus back in the late 80's, where in Lit 101, I wrote a short story about a war arena where certain types of drones were banned. The class tore it up as unrealistic and a pipe dream, what unit would give up a rifleman, for a drone operator? Drones will stop the North Koreans and protect Taiwan from China.
    112
  1281. Hi quick correction, Moonfishes F-16 crashed on Monday, on the 27th, not the 29th. Like a 100 cruise missiles, 100 or so drones were launched.
    112
  1282. 0:48 brings PT belt..this guy's invincible
    112
  1283. I absolutely been a fan of yours for years now, you keep it simple, informative, and entertaining. Much love for you, and your team!
    111
  1284. Retro is so hot right now.
    111
  1285. As Stalin once said: "Dark humor is like food. Not everybody gets it."
    111
  1286. Your intro should include the phrase" sophisticated man about town".
    111
  1287. "those guys are crazy! That would never happen *again*" killed me lmao
    111
  1288. I just wonder what role Dunkin Donuts plays on all this... nefarious and delicious.
    111
  1289. The cope cage is actually to trap RPGs fired from rooftops in built up areas - the Russians had a bad time with these in Chechnya. It's not designed for javelins or NLAWs.
    110
  1290. You must have been in the Army, not the Marines to whine about how heavy it is to carry
    110
  1291. Here's the thing about the draft. It would be good to require public service, including the military as an option. It would be the ultimate team building exercise for a generation.
    110
  1292. “I’ve been an E-5 for ten years” oof
    110
  1293. Perun did a great video on this as well which went into great depth if you want more background. Keep up the good work Cappy.
    109
  1294. For current US anti-drone solutions look into the Leonardo DRS MLIDS system. A neat 2 vehicle solution that pairs EW and Kinetic solutions.
    109
  1295. Of course none of the good things and victories get covered by the media. 🙁
    109
  1296. This is America. We won’t be chilling out.
    109
  1297. Just saying...... Xenomorphs are pretty environmentally friendly
    109
  1298. As someone from post-soviet country with experience with Russian and western hardware, i can say one: With Russian weapons, what is declared they are able to do is usually complete nonsence maybe possible at ideal circumstances. With western weapons what is declared is usually far bellow what these weapons are capable at worst circumstances. If west says: We do not have the weapons to shoot down Russian ICBMs what they says is: Our weapons at the worst circumstances are able to intercept only 95% of them 😂😂😂
    109
  1299. Hi Cap, I consider myself knowledgeable about modern military affairs, but I learn something new during your videos. You obviously do a very thorough job on research for each topic!!
    109
  1300. While you touched on some of the ways a carrier strike group can defend itself, I think more discussion could have been placed on the Navy's primary means of protection which is to interrupt the enemy's "kill chain". In order for an enemy to hit a moving target over long distances like a ship, the weapon must have the ability to continuously track the target vessel. And in order to do that, the weapon must be continuously updated as to where the target vessel is. The Navy has both classified and unclassified means of interrupting the enemy's kill chain by destroying or otherwise neutralizing the command and control of the missiles, the ability to use radar, the ability to use satellites, and / or the ability to communicate with the missile in flight. On board weapons are really weapons of last resort if the enemy's kill chain can't be broken for some reason.
    109
  1301. Yeah, but are the sig's drop safe?
    108
  1302. You get my like for the apache comment
    108
  1303. So Cappy how do you feel about the Chinese spy agency knowing about you? Does it freak you out? It would me.
    108
  1304. That thing looks like it’s beating the shite out of you. Snappy recoil
    107
  1305. That picture of “Sir Corbett” is German Admiral Reinhard Scheer.
    107
  1306. Ukraine has become a huge NLAW testing facility. Big time thanks to Russia for providing practicing targets 💪😉
    107
  1307. Ok, so firstly, good take overall. One thing to note is that China don't usually sell their best equipment as exports. And referring to the airborne AESA radar doesn't necessarily translate into ground search/track radar. Albeit I don't think the radar detection range is very crucial to this system. And no I don't think this thing is designed to combat anything more than 10km even with the missile systems. It is more likely to engage shorter range targets than PGZ09 (Gepard like system). It would likely of limited use against fighter jets, but rather specialized in combating drones. As you can see in the footage there's proximity fuse shells from the gatling gun that burst before the target, this is already very good since many older systems, world wide as well, don't even have such options given even larger calibers. This emphasizes its effectiveness against drones. However, since it's acting like such a layer in the air defense sphere, being capable in its own responsibility is already sufficient. I don't see it as a All-in-one system that can cover a multitude of ranges and different targets at once. For longer ranges, as you mentioned there's HQ17 (Improved Tor) and other systems. For combating close range aircraft and helicopters there's PGZ-09 (Gepard) and similar systems. It doesn't have to have capabilities to deal with high altitude aircraft. If such scenario happens, that this 625 system is in dire need to deal with high altitude jets, that probably indicates the air defense sphere has already collapsed and shouldn't be considered as a design failure, but a strategic failure. My take is that, it is, "Seemingly", a good system that covers the special need for destroying drones in the very contemporary battlefield environment. And to have such a system to fulfill a role like that is already visionary and before many other nations' attempts even started. Pantsir and S300V etc. are all capable systems, but really none of them provide precisely targeted solution to the drone threats. We've seen the amount of Tunguskas destroyed in Ukraine. It seems that Russian army do miss a layer of air defense that is in most dire need, which is specifically the role of the 625 system's design philosophy. That's why, I think this system may prove very useful in a modern context. And another note is that, if we look at history, do not underestimate Chinese army, especially the ground forces.
    107
  1308. I look forward to auto pilot guns and our inevitable firearm based lifeform overlords.
    107
  1309. It has a lot more protection than a HMMWV we used in ‘03’ in Iraq. It also gives the Ukrainians more than the Yota Tacomas they use to ferry troops around the battlefield.
    107
  1310. Thanks for being informative without shoving your political opinions down the viewers throat like a lot of other military channels do ❤
    107
  1311. Arrows were used in Yugoslav civil war to penetrate sandbags. Bullets use blunt force to create damage, and they tumble and deform. This makes things like sand bags optimal for stopping bullets. Arrows go through sand bags and the like with ease. Arrows also go through bullet proof vests.
    106
  1312. Respectful breakdown.
    106
  1313. You have done these analyzes for the 2 of 3 baltic states. Are you planing to do one for Latvia as well ?
    106
  1314. Awesome video Chris! You touched all the nuances associated with the Indian Ocean scenario. Love from India!
    106
  1315. The price of the surplus ammo was the biggest selling point before the 7n6 ban. I bought cheap and stacked deep and ended up with several 5.45 guns including a Galil ACE.
    106
  1316. Yes, nuclear war is horrifying, but is Cappy wearing pants?
    105
  1317. People may say China's strategy of copying other countries' weapons is cheating or long term insufficient but the strategy is nonetheless viable.
    105
  1318. Most accurate line in American history.
    105
  1319. Thanks for this neutral take on how the world got into mess. Of course it is due to old men fighting for power and younger folks and families dying.
    104
  1320. The Hyundai of my dreams
    104
  1321. Stylistically, this is one of your best videos of all time. You always put out good videos, and have clearly been improving over time, but this one goes above and beyond. Great visuals, editing, script, and tone. Thank you for being the who you guys are.
    104
  1322. I remember when they gave this to us. We went out into training and everyone said "Did they never look at this?"
    104
  1323. 10:48 That's a gatling gun, not a chaingun. A chaingun has one barrel, and resembles that of regular cannons. And yes, they use a chain to drive the feed mechanism.
    104
  1324. I'm super impressed with Task & Purpose reporting. Its so uncommon to find people who show both rational sides of these issues. Well done
    104
  1325. Shits on it for 4 minutes “Haha I love it though it’s great”
    103
  1326. they look like painted nerf guns
    103
  1327.  @Taskandpurpose  : thanks, look up Stanislav Petrov’s story - when the Soviet dashboard lit up in 1983 of a U.S. nuclear attack underway, he reasoned it was a false alarm because the launch size was so small. Thankfully for everyone, it was a false alarm.
    103
  1328. This is really good info, even for a grunt. ;-) I would love to see a weekly update on Ukraine, if not more frequently. Also, remember who the King Of Battle is. 13B Out!
    103
  1329. I wish RTS games were still in vogue. The voice acknowledgements from Russian tanks being equipped with turtle armor or moving with turtle armor would be comedy gold in a new C&C Red Alert.
    103
  1330. I see several references to "gunpowder" here. Gunpowder, sometimes called black powder, is a propellant made from charcoal, sulfur, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). Except for muzzle loader hobbyists, its use in firearms is largely obsolete because it makes big clouds of smoke, leaves a lot of residue in the weapon, is prone to failure under damp conditions, and does not have the power of more modern propellants. What Russia is using is guncotton, or more technically, cellulose nitrate. It's made by reacting cleaned and finely chopped cotton (cotton pulp, often made from waste fibers from textile thread spinning) with a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acid, followed by a careful cleaning process to remove all traces of residual acid. It is critical that the fibers be broken down and carefully cleaned so that they are no longer hollow because acid trapped in the fibers or other impurities make the product inconsistent and unstable. That's why there are problems with the shells from North Korea; they obviously have poor process quality control (what do you expect from slave labor, anyway?). Guncotton was discovered in 1832, reportedly by accident when a chemist named Braconnet used cotton to wipe up a nitric acid spill and put it on the hearth to dry, only to be startled later when it spontaneously exploded. It took several decades to develop a safe and reliable production process. (Source: Encyclopedia Americana, 1941 edition, except for the details of the discovery; I don't recall where I read that.)
    103
  1331. Lean forward with that front leg!! You look like your falling backwards CAPPY!! Your just not trained with it, that's all!!👌👍
    102
  1332. I demand from now on we refer to this weapon system as “The mother NLAW”
    102
  1333. I asked for a deep dive into the gangs a few months ago and boy did you deliver.
    102
  1334. Your re-editing of video after original production shows a focus on accuracy and is noticed and appreciated
    102
  1335. 1:48 9mm Mashineguns? Were the M1A1 Thompson and M3 Greasegun not chambered for .45 ACP?
    102
  1336. Lesson: don't go into series production, BEFORE seatrials
    102
  1337. 6:32 the *Lapua magnum. :'D
    102
  1338. As an ex-mortarman, the CV-90 size turret ring can accommodate the twin barrel 120mm mortar system. This devastating, as well as crew protected design sold me on the CV90yrs ago. Exposed troops has become such a non-reason due to current technological standards, that any fellas that don't have a good reason to have cover, has come down to pure negligence these days. Particularly when one's under the threat of counter battery fire, time is just something you no longer have! There are some really good choices these days, that I could see the final pick coming down to something of a simple reason as being the ability not to do it's initial task, but an additional ability that the others don't. I.E. better ATGM's, additional armour, passive or hard-kill protection systems, who knows what else, that's just some of the armament things not to mention weight, cost, availability, the list goes on and on. Glad I live in Canada, lol...
    102
  1339. 1:01 it's like military personals ain't humans 😆
    101
  1340. One of your best videos yet, keep them coming. I also have a slight obsession with the Indian military. Everything is on the table with them, for better or worse.
    101
  1341. "Hey, you!" "Sir?" "I don't want to march all the way there, call an Uber. M2 Bradley." "Yes, sir" "Make sure you use Uber Eats, I want a pizza too"
    101
  1342. I am from Ukraine and we did not have and do not have a civil war, stop repeating this, I watch your videos and this is not the first time I hear this. The Russians vilely invaded us in 2014, without uniforms and identification marks, without aviation, but with ground equipment that looks like ours
    100
  1343. Even if YOU consider it the worse. It's still great!
    100
  1344. 0:33 you ok there bud?
    100
  1345. Demonetised, now you are a real Youtuber.
    100
  1346. They are describing a collapsible stock like its a transformer gun and it can magically go from full sized down to a GOAT gun size... wtf
    99
  1347. This was a good video, I'm still laughing on the inside because a soldier is a giving us a lesson on a naval battle lol
    99
  1348. I give it a thumbs up just for Metal Gear (optic camouflage for the win)
    99
  1349. "Replace" I have my doubts, "supplement" perhaps, even then it will more likely than not only be provided to SF assuming it goes anywhere at all. Plastic rounds like Caseless ammo before it is going to be another dead end, because brass and even steel serves as a better medium of heat transfer out of the weapon than plastic could ever hope to be, especially for MGs. Bullpups are a nightmare to clear without field stripping, while massive ejection ports without so much as a dust cover or a nice tight fit with it's bolt carrier will allow for significant ingress of sand and mud into the receiver. Just look at InRangeTV's mud tests to see why a closed system like the AR/M4/M16 platform is superior to the competition. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj9u4Ts2NpEv4Fnwx2_ig4wVqiONfH1me So if the above wasn't indication of which has the best shot, I'd be looking at Sig, I mean they did just adopt a pistol from them, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they'd also accept their other offerings. Again assuming they accept any of them at all.
    98
  1350. Thanks for the update - BUT, why not call the Ukrainian strikes on military targets in Russia as "retaliation" or "preemptive defense" (instead of an "escalation" and "mission creep"). Would you really expect Ukrainians to not use any means at their disposal to defend against continued strikes on their civilians or infrastructure?
    98
  1351. Why dont they put kevlar blankets and body armour on the cattle and use them again today?
    98
  1352. That was an amazing episode. Great job you sounded like an absolute pro
    98
  1353. Thanks for doing this Cappy
    98
  1354. 12B here. Route Clearance Afghanistan 2014-2015. Anyone with a TBI give this comment a like.

  1356. That discord notification in the background for the first minute and a half had me checking my phone and PC..
    97
  1357. Kinda hard to have combined forces movements when you lack half of the combined forces types. With their initiative blown, and no air power there was absolutely zero chance of success raming through minefields and entrenched bunker systems. Lacking air power eliminated any hope of success. And lacking long range missles means the opposite side can stack their defence tight to the front.
    97
  1358. Australia is getting nuclear powered attack subs not ballistic missile boomers
    97
  1359. You’ve left out “the elephant in the room”—Greece! It’s also trying to keep pace with its own ordered 35s, and further help from the US Greek lobby, and “big brother” US. There are serious rivalries between the countries over Cyprus, the Aegean, etc.
    97
  1360. I actually tested FCS through the "Land Warrior" rage during the early oughts in Orlando Florida. I was part of the 511th PIR test company and the buzzword at the time was "Network Centric Warfare." We had a lot of fun on that TCS. I won't tell you exactly what my buddies bought with their per diem but we played a lot of games on it for those 3 months. We also tested the LOSAT (Lockheed Martin) and a few other black platforms like CROWS before they shut the unit down due to funding issues because of the war in Iraq. We got shuffled back to 18th Airborne Corp repo and ended up with 51st LRS as part of 525 MI, we deployed to Iraq in 04 shortly after passing our selection and mostly operated out of Mosul (my team at least). The whole story is more complicated but I spent most of my time with an enhanced THT team chasing down sources in Kurdistan and west toward Rabia.
    97
  1361. 2 questions: - Why do you call the Textron ammo "Caseless" towards the end of the video when it is clearly "Polymer Cased Telescoped"? - Why do you say the General Dynamics ammo is all polymer when in reality it (like the SIG ammo) has a steel base?
    96
  1362. “Suck” is censored? Trying to get that hobby lobby crowd?
    96
  1363. The age of the plane isn't what determines it's "stealth" it's how old the coating is. What does change with a old aircraft is much more maintenance because it starts falling apart with time and due to metal fatigue.
    96
  1364. Cappy's videos are amazing these days! And no, they will never replace boots on the ground. The machine gun will always be needed on the battlefield
    96
  1365. Awesome breakdown! Just a small pedantic correction 😅: those are world war 1 maxims. For defense they are amazing, since they are watercooled and can sustain fire for a looong time
    96
  1366. I've never been in the military in any capacity but I just love watching this channel.
    95
  1367. One month later and that convoy was nothing more than a huge traffic jam lol.
    95
  1368. Sold. I like the British guy. Plus, huge opportunity for intercontinental ball-busting.
    95
  1369. I dislike the jltv because it doesn't fit the American stereotype of ppacing multiple machine guns on everything
    95
  1370. Russia is striking whole Ukraine's territory including civil targets, those strikes are retaliation, not an escalation. So yeah, you have used words incorrectly, it's not about bias.
    94
  1371. As a former gun bunny I don't think you can beat the M109 the ability to move shoot and change your location is invaluable the Firepower from the 155 beats nothing we actually got to fire a beehive around which was a close in self-defense round if you can imagine it was a 155 mm shotgun scary awesome
    93
  1372. The inconsistency of the Soviet flares is really funny, and hopefully something that was taken into consideration and construction of NATO flares. I also remember seeing a story about how the US ended up with a Soviet fighter of some sort but had to return it and got caught taking it apart because The US didn't have screws that weren't galvanized
    93
  1373. You forget to mention the multiple times the russian military did actually fire on wagner. They weren't all false flags
    93
  1374. A day later and the video is out of date. The artillery strikes around Kyiv were most likely covering the Russian retreat, which is potentially turning in to a rout today as Ukrainian forces reclaimed 40 towns and inflicted casualties in all theatres.
    92
  1375.  @Taskandpurpose  K, but still miss the old style. All the best.
    92
  1376. The Team Spirit exercises were defensive in nature. I flew F16’s at two different bases in South Korea. March is the earliest time of the year that the rice paddies and natural corridors are adequate for armor to invade from the North. The second echelon of North Korean forces are now on the DMZ with the first echelon. This dramatically reduces the warning time and response to an invasion from the North. The extra forces added during Team Spirit would negate those conditions.
    92
  1377. Marines are still just gonna have m16a4s
    92
  1378. Sir I love your channel and to great length you go into making it fun & educational with a objective view on the gear and military subjects you discuss.
    92
  1379. Hey man, good video just a few points to make you aware of. The 40mm cannon upgrade has been dropped as the army will be moving to the Boxer (first few have started to arrive) interesting as its the first time in a while we will be relying on a wheeled AFV. A lot was made of its off road potential and whilst it is more than capable the idea that it keeps up with Challengers is simply not true, they like to say they do but I can assure you a tank leaves a Warrior well behind. Also the protection is purely based area additional armour and TES as most modern munitions will fire straight through them. On a final note to the new contributor, great to see a fellow Brit serviceman sharing his experience's however for the love of God, pronounce CSGT Beharry VC name correctly, we dont give many VC's out so say his name properly dropshort ;) Keep up the good work and Lets Go Brandon.
    92
  1380. I always have respect for people who admit that they were wrong. Thank you for making these videos. Your perspective is valuable.
    91
  1381. hopefully if it can mark targets it'll have the option to broadcast it in datalink and itself as friendly of course would allow for air and ground forces to work together way more effectively
    91
  1382. Cappy, and the rest of the T&P crew, thank you for this video. I’m just a 21 year old CPL and POG with no deployment experience, but as soon as they said they may need people to go to Afghanistan, I raised my hand to go. They didn’t take me, and I’m told it’s because I have a kid on the way. They did take some of the soldiers under my charge though, as well as my best friend. I don’t think I’ll be able to come to terms with the fact that I’m not over there experiencing the same risks as my soldiers until they all come home, and the more I hear from them and the more I hear from the news, the more angry I am that they sent my soldiers and not me. Especially when I hear from them and then hear a conflicting report on the news. This video sums up the feeling and words I heard from my friends over there quite well, and the parts not directly related to being over there sums up my feelings just as well. Thank you for it and keep up the good work guys

  1383. Cool video Chris. Would love to see the evolution of military communication from you.

  1384. Route and retreat are not the same thing my dude, a route is a out right breaking panic, a retreat is "organized"

  1386. The OICW, fully loaded was 18 pounds. An M4 with M203 fully loaded, with Acog and PEQ15 weighs 12 pounds. That's nowhere close to the same weight

  1387. When cappy says "I have something I'm very excited to talk to you about" I thought he was going to talk about that sleeping pug... but hey, just mild disappointment.

  1388. Puma's been ready since 2015 tho. They've only been fixing some minor problems since then.

  1389. So this is the first time I am hearing of the backstory of the investment Anglo-Persian oil company. Everyone starts off with the Mossadegh nationalization, I wonder if that was intentional now or just lack of knowledge. Anyways thanks for expanding mine and others knowledge base a little further.

  1392. We did the opposite in Paktika province, When we were in TICs on the border w Taliban they would hide in Pakistani caves and try to set us up from Pakistan. The US does not have authority to conduct airstrikes in Pakistan, violating airspace, but our artillery can. Excalibur rounds are GPS guided and can travel 17K. It sounds like a thunderbolt breaking the sound barrier travelling above you onto target. Good times.

  1393. Bro this is a huge no go for me, I wouldn't get caught in that tomb stone out of the wire because that's gonna get you shot.

  1394. one counterpoint I would make to comparing tank numbers between Poland and Britain is Poland doesn't have to worry about paying for a navy.
    89
  1395. nah, we'll chose both and neither at the same time, bebas aktif for the win baby

  1396. "It's like, what is even a door, man? You first have to establish the existential concept of what a door actually is before you can even consider the possibility of deconstructing its integrity! I mean, have you ever truly thought about the ancient Macedonian construction of matter which has led to this exact point in time where you are, conceivibly, using the force of your controllable parts to manipulate the perceived matter that even the postmodernists must agree to be a door!?" - JBP explains kicking in a door

  1398. There were several institute competing the design contract for QBZ-191, and even for QBZ-95 (I remember there are 4 or 5), and any other weapon system in China. The Norinco is just one of manufactures. Those institure will cooperate together even after one of them win the bidding as the main designer and get subcontract for different part. Forgive my writting typo, I just want you to know the truth.

  1401. Can we just talk about your sponsor segment? Holy shit I actually lol'd. "NO IM ALREADY REALLY SHORT NOOOOO!" And the cute miniature cell?! Hahaha. Might actually have to get one or two of these for my aunt and uncle
    87
  1402. You're pumping out alot of videos lately, yet they are all of quality, bravo and keep it up!
    87
  1403. Yeah well not so sure as BF 2042 being more realstic than CoD MW 2019 though with the guns when you can swap the MCX Spear from 6.8x51 to 5.56x45 or 9x19 Para. The magwell must be changed as well with the gun and I don't think that the MCX lower can detach its magwell that easily to be swapped out.

  1410. Your video hides a very important piece of information; in 2013, Turkiye applied for Patriot missiles from its NATO ally, the United States, to meet its land and air defense system needs. In its application, Turkiye also requested 'technology transfer' and wanted to purchase software for the installation and use of Patriot missiles. Turkiye's request to purchase Patriot missiles through technology transfer was not met by the US Congress. Turkiye then decided to buy S400 missiles. If NATO wants a strong Turkish army, why didn't it give Turkiye the air defense systems? Turkiye will continue to strengthen its defense industry with its own insistence and ambition.

  1411. Needs Picatinny rails on the hood.

  1412. Disappointed in lack of paper waving/smacking cappy.
    86
  1413. Talking about casualties is very important to determine the blowback from those familys that lost a loved one. It's also very important to figure out how much closer and bigger the next mobilization wave will be.
    86
  1414. The counteroffensive was the most telegraphed military move of all time and there was zero chance of hiding its targets from Russia. Concentrating as much as possible was the only play and I don't understand why the Ukrainians thought differently.
    86
  1415. Dude, I've consumed countless hours of MSM Ukraine content the past few months and this is by far the best breakdown of the situation I've ever seen. Huge props for putting this together and laying out basic facts that no one else has.

  1417. I served thirty years in the United States Army almost twenty in the Ranger Regiment.I retired in 2010. Animals were used by many armies in WW2. But for supply and in some cases troop transport to a lesser extent. Like you said it must have been frightening to see two or three hundred horses charging at you. Until you realize you have machine guns. So just start shooting the horse's and game over

  1420. Hey Cappy, could you do a “the truth about China’s hypersonic missiles”? I hear everything from “they are the new unstoppable super weapon” to “they are overrated propaganda”
    85
  1421. The Soviet Sager missile wasn't just a "better" weapon than what the western block had at the time, it was a total game changer. Combined with the SA2 anti air missile battery it radically changed the Egyptian army's performance in the 1973 Yom Kipur war after its resounding defeat just 6 years earlier. Suddenly the highly skilled IDF tank crews were being picked off at a distance in the vast sinai desert, grounding the usual aggressive manouvering tactic to a halt - while the AA missile umbrella cut off close air support. As a defensive weapon it was amazing for the time. However, once Syria goaded Egypt into advancing their army towards mainland Israel (leaving the protection of the AA umbrella, as those batteries took weeks to redeploy) its shortcoming were apparent. In the desert, they were easy to spot from the air and taken out by the highly skilled low-flying close air support groups, and the missiles themselves are slow enough that a good aggressive push can close distance and scare away the operators enough to miss if they are not highly trained and motivated.
    85
  1422. Unbiased, understandable and informative content about geopolitical war situations is extremely rare. That is a blessing for people wishing to be more informed and who do not want to fall into the extensive media traps, wasting your sanity and time. Thank you!

  1425. Finally someone talking about our army
    84
  1426. I've been looking forward to this video, and my patience was rewarded. Also, I admire that you're happy to correct errors when they're pointed out (like the Finnish conscript thing that you correct in this video). Poland's national defense troops are the definition of a well-regulated militia, and I think the idea of having local troops who will notice things that are out of place being used as they are is ingenious, even if Moscow propaganda is perfectly happy to lie about them.
    84
  1427. I think it's disingenuous to describe those weapons as "left behind in the withdrawal." They were brought into Afghanistan to arm the Afghan army. They were never intended to be taken back the US. They would be best described as being "captured Afghan army equipment" or something like that. Too many people get confused (or are misinformed) and imagine warehouses of stuff that the US meant to pack up but just left there anyway. The Afghan govt fecked it all up and left before the withdrawal was supposed to even start. They let some of their soldiers without resupply (even food) and unpaid for months. That's bad enough without mischaracterizing it.
    84
  1428. Don't care, not "The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch".

  1429. Chris... I am a 70 year old Viet Nam vet and 24 year retired military. Your knowledge and way you present your info is far superior to any thing the "legacy fake media" can produce. You are a very intelligent and personable info specialist. I am "worldly" but you have a gift. Apply for a major news outlet "that speaks truth" so your knowledge and personality can reach the uninformed.

  1431. Don't send SEALS and Army Special Forces to do the job of a Ranger Battalion. Or throw forces together based on public relations not military reality. Geoff Who notes the Grenada invasion should have been a USMC operation.
    83
  1432. Just subbed to this channel a few days ago I have found it to be very interesting keep up the good work @Task and Purpose
    83
  1433. Congratulations Cappy you have transcended to the group of people that use vis a vis in every day talk I'm proud of you.
    83
  1434. The TAR-21 (aka SAR) was the original Tavor and was adopted by the IDF in 2003 although primarily for Special Forces. The latest version is the Tavor X95 (aka MTAR-21) and has been in use since 2009 again initially with Special Forces but is now the standard issue for all infantry units and has been since 2012.
    83
  1435. The bradley is a good addition, but they need more of them. I think the optics will help immensely. My suspision is that just like in pretty much every part of the military, the US's electronics far outpaced what the Soviets could, and then the subsequent Russians, could bring to the table. The Soviets would try to check boxes to get better chances of exporting their equipment, but the reality is that their ability to design and manufacture good electronics packages has, and remains, far behind what the US could/does field. I was never in the military, but as someone with a degree in Russian/soviet history, I think people do not really understand how far behind the Soviet economy/military was when it comes to electronics. Anything that relied on microprocessors was either much harder to come by, worse than what the US had, and in all honesty, usually both worse and less available. The soviets were great at heavy industry, but terrible when it came to electronics. The russians, having in herited mostly 80s soviet military equipment have tried to modernize it with more advanced electronics, with some success, but they don't have the same emphasis on optics, firecontrol systems, guided munitions, avionics, etc. that the US has, its simply not in Russian military culture, and combined with coruption, I think the bradley will be in a great position, even the older M2A2s, to dish out some serious pain.
    83
  1436. H&K probably bribed the Pentagon to replace the M203. I liked the Thumper, too.
    82
  1437. "Team Building" LOL so was the blanket party after RTB from a rainy weekend spent looking for an SOI that was never found.
    82
  1438. If you haven’t watched "Dr. Strangelove," you should stream that brilliant Cold War black comedy ASAP. Stanley Kubrick directed.
    82
  1439. The Type 625E looks like the sort of platform a country would park around a civilian target like a electrical substation, fuel depot, office building, etc. The "soft" target would be relatively far away from the front line. What is surprising is the small amount of storage area for ammo because a creative adversary will attack with armed drones in a swarm and from different directions. Would not be surprised if there was a partner vehicle that carries the EW equipment. On a side note, the PRC can cobble together equipment in a short period. It may not be very good, but having something can be better than having nothing.
    82
  1440. Most of the men in my family in Ukraine are fighting Russia. Two of my cousins are drone operators. So far, they say the turtle tanks have only presented a "modest" problem for them when it comes to killing the tank. The actual metal is NOT a problem for their FPV drones apparently, as that metal is NOT armor, it's just common scrap sheet metal / aluminum and offers no actual protection (none of my cousins failed to achieve, at bare minimum, a mobility kill on a turtle tank with any of their FPVs. However, the real problem from these tanks isn't the idiotic metal sheets (again, they do nothing) - it's that MANY of these tanks are fitted with extensive jammer suites, making it very difficult to get drones to hit them. Both of my cousins say they often have to fly 5 to 10 FPVs at the tank just to get 1 of the drones past the jamming and hit the tank.
    82
  1441. Your Ukrainian war coverage has been the absolute best analysis I've seen anywhere. You've come a long way Cappy
    82
  1442. Best quote about medics IMO. It is from Red Vs. Blue and it isn't accurate though Doc: I'm not a doctor, I'm a Medic. Tucker: What's the difference? Doc: Well, a doctor cures people. A medic just makes them more comfortable...while they die.
    81
  1443. Is it bad that i actually feel invested in the goat gun intro?
    81
  1444. Chris, what you did is very brave. I’m a retired CAARNG combat medic. OIF6 is years for me and I’m still wrestling with some things from that tour. You reinforced why I subscribe to your channel: you’re genuine and give us a view of subjects that we will never get from a think tank… feedback from the end user. Keep up the good work. You and your channel are making a difference. HOOAAH
    81
  1445. There are four features of the ACU that soldiers actually asked for: 1. Shoulder pockets, since after Somalia we were wearing body armor constantly and couldn't really use chest pockets. 2. The mandarin collar, since body armor often rubs against the neck. 3. The sun hat (or "boonie") as the standard headgear, because at the time the Army had gotten rid of patrol caps and was making soldiers wear either the beret, or a helmet. Boonies are actually practical hats for a field environment, so they wear originally issued with ACUs, until a bunch of sergeants major got fed up with soldiers pointing out that AR 670-1 actually allowed them to be comfortable, and got it changed. 4. Velcro fasteners ON THE TORSO ONLY. Those of us who were wearing heavy Ranger Body Armor all day every day asked for that (and some of us modified BDU coats that way) because the buttons on the BDU coat could cause blisters (same reason that we started fastening our dogtags to a belt loop instead of wearing them around our necks). We didn't want Velcro everywhere, just on the parts of the uniform that would be under a heavy plate and couldn't be accessed in the field anyway.

  1448. 0:30 that close up is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The slow motion of the x-ray is amazing and whoever thought of it, I am proud of you.

  1449. Still love the m9 and M16, I’m not a boomer
    80
  1450. I think it's pretty obvious why the Army is finally getting serious about next-gen systems: Its posture is switching from COIN back to near-peer. It's hard to justify a new IFV or rifle when you're dominating the opponents you're fighting with what you already have. But when you are thinking about the next Great Power War, being on the cutting edge matters.
    80
  1451. YouTube commentator Perun has said that in January (or was it February - I can't remember) Prigozhin has said that once Bakhmut was taken, the Wagner group would pause and regroup - which gave the impetus to Ukraine to keep fighting. If Bakhmut still holds, then the Wagner group is forced to continue fighting and destroy itself in the process. I've also heard one commentator suggest that Prigozhin may be the convenient fall guy when Russia loses the war: it gives the Army a way of retreating without losing.
    80
  1452. I'm surprised you didn't talk about the numerous modifications the Australian army made to the gun. Apparently it's technically called the Austeyr. Also I think the bias due to manufacturing rights theory makes sense considering Australia is an Island nation meaning the only way we get international goods is from trade ships. Australia's population is too small to field a large enough navy to protect all of our shipping lanes in the event of a major global conflict so local manufacturing capability is very important in Australia.
    80
  1453. as an austrian who have seen quite a lot of military personal by now, i can say a few things about the AUG: 1. the special forces of austria does not use the standard army aug, they use custom build ones with extra stuff, like bigger rail space for attachments or a bigger magazine-button. 2. the standard aug has such a heavy pull, because every guy in the austrian army i talked to hated it when a rifle-trigger is lightweight, especially since the aug has a 2 stage trigger. i guess we austrians just have very muscular fingers or something like that. 3. the biggest downgreat of the aug is that it needs a lot of time to master - reloading in the stock, using the safety, having a heavy trigger, using the 2 stages trigger, all that are things that have to be learned and trained. the austrians from the military use this gun like a 3rd hand, because they are used to it. this is why a lot of special forces turn this gun down, because a bullpop isn´t a very intuitive design by todays standards - but i can tell you, it is certainly a very deadly one if it is in the right hands
    80
  1454. I love these stories about how ordinary people stepped up and did what seems to be the impossible. Sadly these heros will be gone soon and their legacy needs to live on.
    79
  1455. Cappy has clearly started his counter-offensive at pronouncing Slavic names (a bit more) correctly, bravo! Much better than the days of "Zapzorzia"
    79
  1456. I think no matter what there will not be sufficient range time for the sidearm. because damn that footage was rough to watch. even yours Cappy.
    79
  1457. The Malyutka, also known as the AT-3 Sagger is something that I was trained on when I was in the Q Course as a weapons specialist, 18B. We didn’t use the actual missies, too hard to get in the late 1980s and expensive, but the simulator showed us all one thing, it’s extremely difficult to hit a target with it. The TOW we trained with as well and it was much nicer, again, a simulator. My best friend was an 11H before becoming an 18B and loved it, he actually got to fire the real thing a few times. The only thing that he didn’t like about it was when a new company commander decided that training should involve manpacking it, at the time we had M151s instead of HMMVs. We were both in the 82nd Airborne at the time, me as an 11B, and I had more fun laughing him hauling that thing around. One thing that we mutually agreed on though was the Dragon, it was a real POS, the misspelling flew at the speed of nothing and like the TOW it was wire guided which required the gunner to stay upright and sighted in on the target while everyone could see him firing it and shoot at him.
    79
  1458. The Roman legionaries were called “Mario’s mule “ (Mario was an imperator ) because of the weight they carried , about 80 pounds. When I was in the army ( in Spain you must do a military o a civilian service in the 90’s) we had to carrie the same weight. Things do not seem to have change a lot in the last 2000 years.
    79
  1459. Cappy, you may have missed that the newest systems like tanks, and aircraft are being sent to former Warsaw pact now NATO members. Their old soviet weapons are going to Ukraine. It simply takes too long to train and they need to fight now.
    79
  1460. 11:42 I disagree. Russia has no right to interfere in the autonomy of another nation.

  1461. "It's OK to fail" That's on my family crest.

  1467. Amateurs talk strategy, rank amateurs talk tactics, real professionals talk logistics. Well done Trooper.
    78
  1468. 14:25 Note to the editor : Tanks, and guns dont fire the whole bullet, the white part isnt supposed to be there, its just a dart. The white part has the explosives to propell the dart, and it gets ejected back into the tank.
    78
  1469. Super cool video and info. The different audio edits are a bit distracting since you used such different recording set ups to patch in the edits.

  1474. Chris cappy is my favourite in the YouTube platform, not only just watching his podcasts to get updates but also a lecturer, best military combats, effective weapons, armored vehicles, helicopters, fighting jets, and best Strategy to executes battlefields to the way to deliver Strategic decisive victory. I always appreciates you chris chappy....🙏.
    77
  1475. Can we just think of how crazy the amount of video and photos we have from the Afghan people, but barely any from our own forces. Usually its the opposite, it’s crazy to see how quickly things have changed.

  1479. Oh shit... I'm the knife guy. Granted, all I have are a typical Gerber and an M9A1 custom bayonet, BUT, I am the only one in the platoon who always has a knife on him... Came in handy when we had to chase a deer off the airfield and my idiot bud ran him over and I had to put him down...
    77
  1480. "The Knife Guys" Will Ferrell and Ryan Gosling would be proud of you.
    77
  1481. One of your best, Cappy! I served in Iraq, OIF 3, 2004-2005, with 86th CSH, in Sadam's personal hospital in the Green Zone. What a crazy time! Thanks for this one! 👍👍👍👍👍

  1484. This shouldn’t had happened.this is just like Vietnam how we broke our promise and left the people behind.
    76
  1485. Well presented. I’m an old M1A1 tank commander in the US Army. Before 911 we spent all our time training in combined arms to fight the Russian hoard. Most of the time in MOPP 2 or MOPP 4. After 911 in Iraq we drove around until something blew up or we got called to end an insurgent attack. Modern M1A2 with well trained crews, active protection systems and a clear well executed combined arm doctrine can still decide a battle.
    76
  1486. You gotta be patient the details are slowly being released some of this might be incorrect
    76
  1487. Holy shit cappy SIG trusting you means you might've been able to be airborne instead of infantry. Jk good video brother
    75
  1488. Dude's hipfire more accurate that old blitz, monty and fuze
    75
  1489. I was a small cog in the battle staff machine at the battalion level back in 2003-2005 in the S-3 shop and it is just crazy how hard those jobs really are and how much data they have to dig through, probably twice as much now due to advancing technology. Definitely a different type of fight than I was used to as a line infantryman.
    75

  1500. Great analysis as usual!! I think you are one of the best communicators in this space. I find all the questions are addressed and the analysis is fair and balanced and is based on data. I think it would be great to see a weekly news type show. I enjoy your perspective and your voice is calming. Once again a very professional delivery which is lacking on so many channels. cheers Chris!!

  1501. Thanks!

  1502. Wow I'm loving how you've been steadily been upgrading the production value just like this new machine gun. Good stuff Cappy

  1503. Outstanding content. A small mention of Simo Hayha would have been nice 😀

  1504. Hahahah the officer was a great depiction of the graduate officers we got right after basics. They literally knew nothing some times even tho you yourself been there less then a year and they started there military career there. (Officer) I forgot my gun was something my comanding officer did during big exercises when we set up camp. I walked with two automatic rifles often. Due to I could not leave a gun none supervised in the forest.

  1509. Interesting. What percent of TBIs are related to helmet penetration? I had thought they where mostly from concussion due to blasts or getting flung against something like the interior of a vehicle.
    72
  1510. Wow. You are the David Attenborough of the military. I know of no one who does what you do, (though admittedly I don’t get out much.) This is more than a recounting of an event. You include enough background for everyone to understand. How do we get your work expanded beyond YouTube? (Not that there’s anything wrong with YouTube.)

  1518. I usually like your content, but as a fin I have never seen this messy of an explanation about our military ever. Just as a example of our military size, sure our active force is around 230 thousand, but if invaided our true military pool is around 850 thousand reservist all trained for their specific roles. Sure it takes time to train them to be combat effective, but saying our military is mostly "unmotivated conscripts" is factually wrong. Our active military is paid professional army and those "conscripts" are future reservist in training.

  1521. Austrian here, I used the AUG back in the day when I was in service and I loved and still love the dual stage trigger precisely because you can go from semi to full auto without having to flip a switch. Especially in CQC when you run into an unexpected target it's handy that you just need to squeeze a harder. I also own the civilian version and had chances to compare it to a friends AR-15 and I have to say the balance while only holding it in the trigger hand is way better.
    71
  1522. Quick FYI, some of the clips you were showing were for the .338 MMG that is also being developed.
    70
  1523. The whistling arrows were really tough to make, so they weren't actually used as weapons. There was a variety of whistling arrows that made different notes upon firing. They were actually signals and Comms. Different notes meant different messages. The high pitched whistle could be heard across long distances.

  1533. Some things you didnt mention is that the islamic brotherhood wants to enforce islamic ideology all over the qorld and not just in the arab states and that hamas is not the only organization thats a part of that ideology groups like hezbollah are also a part of it and 1400 ppl died in the oct 7th attack

  1534. Dude, the USA equipped the Afghan army to fight the Taliban, those weapons and systems were not left behind because of some leaving in a hurry. That's the equipment of the Afghan army that quickly turned Taliban after all the friendly countries left and they got scared.
    69
  1535. Hey mate. Just some clarification on a few points. For the longest time, SF in Australia often picked weapons by preference for example you can see pictures of SAS in Vietnam using SLRs and M16s, Commandos in East Timor using F88s and M4s. Even today they consider different weapons for different jobs, but I digress. The main reason the M4A1 eventually became the mainstay in SAS and Commandos has already been highlighted. A mixture of customisation options that early Steyr variants didn't have and interoperability considerations with other coalition SF units. There's likely many other considerations here, but I'd say those were the big ones. Aside from that. The new EF88 is a real nice weapon that has some perks of the M4 family engineered into it.

  1538. As a soldier who went through the adoption of the UK bullpup, the SA80. I cannot safely say that the effort in retraining soldiers to use a bullpup was minimal. Of course minimal times hundreds of thousands requires a substantial effort, but as you are training on a new rifle system anyway, then the extra required to adopt to a bullpup would be near negligible
    68
  1539. I'm actually warming up to this bullpup and plastic fantastic design. The ability to carry 30% more ammo is important when facing the Taliban who proved will murder you when you run out of ammo.
    68
  1540. 17 years in the Army as an Infantryman, I would really be interested in the doctrine of the m27 in theory. The ability to fire large amounts of fire against a target so that a team can maneuver is so important in engagements. I just don't think that the m27 allows that. But would love to learn more if it's working in the role of automatic rifleman.

  1542. Hey T&P, always love your videos. I've always wanted to join the military & finally spoke to a recruiter for the branches im interested in multiple times. I ended up not joining any branch, however, bc the military kept giving md Red Flags and reasons not to join. I have a college degree, nearly donr with my bachelors, experience in cyber security, and i wanted to go for an officer position in army cyber. However, unfortunately doing that would literally hamstring my career. People like me, even woth only an associates, start at minimum 60 to 70k to START. MINIMUM. I routinely get offers between 70 and 85k, even without a completed bachelors. my only reasons to join are duty & love of country, but that doesnt oay the bills, buy a house, or put food on table for my new family. The military benefits are kinda overhyped for people who aren't low Lower Class. plus the new recruiters are all kinda whack. i told them exactly what i needed for me to enlist, and i guaranteed them i would enlist if they could answer my questions about cyber. instead, they all repeated the same rehearsed questions and lines. I also found out the specific recruiters only were interested in finding specific recruits for specific job quotas. The army recruiter wanted me to go Armor or Logistics, even though i was only interestdd in cyber, networking, electronic warfare etc. They also ONLY push Enlisted. All (100%) of my military friends told me to NEVER join as Enlisted, if i can go officer. Plus about disqualifiers. I recently disqualified myself after the fact by getting a diagnosis for long undiagnosed ADHD. The army recruiter, when i mentioned i was speaking to my DR investigating ADHD symptoms, told me in double speak that they cant recruit me if in diagnosed and medicated, so i would have to either stop the process or go unmedicated. I really genuinely wanted tojoin, and still do even right now, but everytime i look for a reason to join the military gives me 6 more reasons not to. in the end, I might not be the target audience. However, it pains me dearly knowing that i can bring value to my country and am disqualified, yet russia and china and israel pump out hackers like its no tomorrow. Shame.

  1543. A little clarification: the Griffon and Serval APCs as well as Jaguar armoured recon vehicles targets haven't changed. 1,872 Griffon, 2,038 Serval and 300 Jaguar and 200 modernized Leclerc XLR are all still scheduled to enter service.... just not in 2030 as planned in the 2019-2025 military programming law but in 2035 instead. 1,300 Griffon, 978 Serval, 200 Jaguar and 160 Leclerc XLR are the targets for 2030 now (in the new 2024-2030 military programming law adopted in July 2023). Also, France only bought a few Javelin units as an urgent requirement for service in Afghanistan as the MILAN was getting old and didn't have a fire-and-forget capability. France has developed a new ATGM to replace the MILAN and Javelin, which is already in service since 2018: the Akeron MP. 400 launchers and 3,000 missiles were ordered so far. So that part of the video is a bit misleading but I guess you took the 2017 report, which didn't feature the Akeron yet. A new simpler and less costly system is also under development to complement the state-of-the-art Akeron in order to increase mass (a result of Ukraine feedback).

  1550. The Maginot Line was not incorrect planning, it worked exactly as intended. It was so fortified that the Germans were willing to risk drawing in other nations (Netherlands, Belgium, Britain) just to touch France, which led to their defeat. It was so effective they had to go around it which led to their defeat.

  1562. The video encompasses a good range of nuances that explains our approach in the current geopolitics, but what's missing here is Indonesia is just as suspicious to the US as we do to the Chinese. Soeharto, the longest reigned dictator in Indonesia is, in a sense, a fanboy of the US. It is under his rule that the infamous Freeport is sucking up Papua's mountain dry without enriching the country in return for decades just like what happened in Africa. Many even believed that the US is behind many of the suppression by mass murders starting from 1965, as mentioned in the book "The Jakarta Method". In a sense, it's not too crazy to assume that Soeharto's authoritarian rule was "allowed" by the US for decades since it could suppress soviet influence in the region, along with persecuting Chinese ethnicity at the same time, a complete fun package. So the concern of foreign intervention runs deep within every fabric of our policy. It is hard to imagine the days when we will align ourselves as allies to any sides of international conflict, we had enough fill of colonialism and neo-colonialism after all.

  1565. Listen here tiny hat maker... I have been following you for years, and not only do you keep consistently getting better at content production, but you also have cemented your channel as a very legitimate source of current information and analysis on many topics. Your efforts are being fruit in immense ways. And more specifically, you are bringing Edward R. Murrow levels of integrity back into the almost dead art of true journalism. It's impressive, Chris, and I salute you for it, sir. On behalf of every viewer here, thank you...

  1567. I think you should make a video series covering each year starting with 2001 9/11 about the middle east and what battles etc our troops fought. I'm sure there are lots of videos already about that but since you are also a vet I feel like you could add more info. And maybe you could even talk about the different technologies and when they first were put to use in the middle east and stuff as well. Would be fascinating.

  1568. missed one fact : Isreal's airstreaks killed over 1000 and displaced millions, while Hezzbollah rockets barley scratched the iron dom
    64
  1569. This what we used to call "broadcast level" journalism/commentary, well done. You've taken a very nuanced and unbiased approach that seems to be in short supply these days.
    64
  1570. "Wouldn't it have made sense to reinforce Kherson rather than Bakhmut?" No, it wouldn't. The supply wasn't there for the 30k troops that were in Kherson and it won't get any better if now there are 50-60k troops in Kherson if the already insufficient supply would be cut even further.
    64
  1571. Great video but minor gripe about the UK map, England and Britain are not the same thing, Britain includes wales and Scotland, geographically and politically. And the UK included Ireland in the 19th century. Kinda of important since the opium wars was started by largely Scottish opium dealers who became the richest traders in the British empire
    63
  1572. Hey Chris, can you please clarify something? You keep saying squad, but I only see 4 dudes. I thought regular forces operated with 8-men strong squads divided into two fireteams. As always, great video and I thoroughly appreciate it! Also, petition to make the moment of Hooah a recurring thing.
    63
  1573. surprise it wasn't described as modular

  1574. Security Forces hooah 😂

  1575. The problem with the getto modifications is that exceeds design limits of the vehicle. But you do what you have to do to be able to come home. The Army may have thought of this, but approach it like air defense. Air Defense is set up in layers. I would use armor and armored vehicles in lawyers. You would need tanks, Bradly's and strikers. The strikers would be in different configurations. Some with lasers for drones, some with chain guns, some TOW's, and some with 50 cals. Strikers linger in the back to rapidly advance when it is advantageous. Once Armor and Bradly's punch a hole the Striker can take advantage of that to get to rear area targets. They can also be use to rapidly regress, with the tanks and Bradly's being used as rear guards. You would know more about this. Great Video's!!!!

  1577. Literally. I'm grateful to be the part of this video production team. Thank you sir
    62
  1578. I love it when you are talking about infantry weapons and vehicles! You definitely add a level energy to your performance! Combining an infantryman's POV with a Economist's POV! BTW, the NIST level of precision is required for chip manufacturing which is why China has to purchase grosser precession chips in the over 125 nm and have to get all maintenance done by the seller. You should add this to why China wants Taiwan and why Taiwan has said they will blow up every fab builder!
    62
  1579. Joke’s on you Cappie, everyone’s using M4A1s now and they do have an auto selector. Even the old M4’s are getting converted. They’re kinda funny to come across. You’ll just see M4’s with the serial number filed down and a new one engraved on. The same with the burst to auto engraving. Sometimes instead of crossing out or filing down “M4” and engraving “M4A1” you just see a different size “A1” stamped beside the “M4”.
    62
  1580. Where can I get that Joker shirt?
    62
  1581. I didn’t see the answer in the comments or the stupid video, so here it is from someone who watched from the inside. The maintenance contracts expired or where allowed to expire. It literally cost as much to fix one in the end as it was to purchase one (M9). The MCoE responsible for small arms requirements knew 99.9 percent of users would not tactically have any real experience or technical value of input to how much or the lack of tactical influence the pistol actually is. So the buzz word modularity applied to the Infantry, MP or CID (the prime user base) not SOF is laughable. SOF chose the Glock and still to this day is using it while paying out of their own funds to support it. Bottom line is the pistol is not tactically influential. However if you need to throw away a “thing” in the military you have sell a reason to do it. Amazingly the modularity concept flew through the regular army while real experienced users laughed at the suppressed/high speed bullets/gadgets knowing the owners of the pistol requirements (Infantry) would never see that type of BS ever because “it’s just a pistol Rambo and if you are shooting it at the enemy, something has gone very wrong until you get that long gun fixed.”
    62
  1582. The Namer is heavier than the Bradley, at 64 tons, but their design philosophy is different. They are adding Spike ATGMs and a light cannon as weapons rather than a heavy cannon. Also, it has a Trophy APS or Iron Fist, so there is a much greater focus on defense than what the US appears to be designing. If you aren't going to focus so much on defense, it might be a good idea to have multiple smaller systems (as you state, their vulnerability to weapons means that you may not want to risk all your soldiers in one vehicle).
    62
  1583.  @Jesus_was_God it is my country and, honestly, if you can’t find the humor, you’ll not make it through the war.
    62
  1584. There is a incorrect statement in this video, and it's about Mideval full plate armor, the armor was actually gave you good mobility, and protection, from things like, arrows, Swords, spears, and to some extent, maces and axes, and yes they were decorated but that did not effect the strength and protection of the armor. And it's not that heavy it's about 60 pounds, and the 60 pounds are not all on your shoulders iit's evenly distributed.

  1598.  @Taskandpurpose how did the counter team looking in that direction not see the obvious and how was that elevated position not secured? Looking for legitimate explanation.
    60
  1599. A couple of things, firstly the Textron offer isn't caseless, but is "Cased-Telecopic Ammo", which was developed for the LSAT Program, along side a caseless option. Also, while I like the Sig, one potential issue is the Military not wanting to go with one company for ALL of their small arms, since they just recently went with Sig for the new pistol. That being said, I would lean between the Textron and Sig options. While I think I like the Textron option better, I also think that Sig may have a slightly better chance, despite the above issue of contracts.

  1603. Excuse me slow reload, most well trained army's late 1700 to the last use of muskets could could get three the four shots off a minute Which is 15-20 seconds each which with only one shot each time seems bad, but in those times it was pretty good
    59
  1604. Outstanding video Chris! I wish that there was an angle that you didn't cover so I could point it out to you as part of an after action review, but I can't find anything that needs to be improved.

  1613. I've been pronouncing it "three three eight". Has my life been a lie?

  1614. I don't think munitions from Iran and North Korea qualify as an "outside aid". Neither Iran nor N. Korea can afford to provide "aid" to Russia. Instead, they are getting cash, various concessions, credits and other benefits from Russia in exchange for their shells.
    58
  1615. You should watch Scott Ritter's analysis on this-- he was a Marine Intel officer during first Gulf War and then nuke weapons inspector in Iraq in the 90s. Though I was only enlisted in the Corps and later Army, I agree with his assessment that the Russians at no time expected or wanted to attack Kiev w only 30K men, and that it was indeed a feint to fix the majority of Ukrainian forces in that region. He also says that Kiev will eventually fall by other means. The Russians are clearly winning the war, and the majority of the Ukrainian military is now dead, wounded or surrendered. There is now a lot of video of Russian troops gleefully distributing captured NLAWS, Stingers, Panzerfausts, which have inevitably fallen into their hands. Wish we hadn't spent $millions/billions on sending the Ukranians weaponry that the Russians were inevitably going to add to their own inventory.

  1623. 6B23 armor was retrofitted with ceramic plates instead of steel, which is class IV. Even before ceramic plates 6B23, we've had 6B4 and 6B5 armor in Afghanistan\Chechen era, more than capable of holding 5,45\5,56 at decent range. Also, there are 6B13 armor vests on pics in the video, which is again, an adequate protection for the conflict. Which is to say, more than adequate to fight against Georgian weaponry. It was just the time to revamp and unify the equipment to modern standarts. >Russia invading Georgia Imagine believing in this horseshit, while showing PM troops photographs at the same time. >No armor 6B23 vs FULL GEORGIAN ARMOR!!11 Lmao. >Showing osetia's troops as russian troops What a clusterfuck, jesus christ. >They wore no armor, and picked up georgian armor Lmao, while its true that we've had a lot of trophied equipment from georgians, it was exactly a trophy equipment, not the old bullshit like "german troops dropped their MP-40s to pick up PPSH-41". Every single russian soldier was properly equipped. Ossetian army, on the other hand - not as good as them. Anyways, who need to wear a deadmen's vests after you kill him? What kind of logic is that? Supply troop will fuck you in the ass if you will "lose" your armor vest and "gain" some Interceptor vest from georgian soldier. Anyways: 1. The 'lessons learned' part about inadequate equipment and lack of overall teamwork between different forces was done in Chechnya, not Georgia. Atleast in the Chechen era, if someone trying to bullshit you with "see that plate carrier? it has no plate inside!" or "see that tank with reactive armor? It has no explosive inside of it!", you would most likely believe in that, than in hot takes like "no armor 6B23", kek. Also main lesson learned was to build a proper fucking army instead of sending in guards\police regiments in a war, covering it as anti-terrorist operation, with proper equip and proper chain of command. Georgian war in 2008 was pretty much one-sided, Osetian army and Russian PMs held out the georgian advance, then came the main troop and fucked them in the ass. There is nothing left to discuss about Georgian conflict. Chechen war and Caucasus conflicts uncovered much more issues with modern Russian army than any other conflict. 2. Ratnik is not a wunderwaffe equip, its just more unified and tech-upped. Active headphones are meh, radios are meh, helmets need some work with mounts and fitting, vests need proper plates, etc, the point is - its the new base for more upgrades. Old shit was either you have it, or you don't. I would've gladly traded in some shit like SPHERA on new Ratnik's helmet, just because its more comfy to wear. On the bright side - NVGs are more available now, rigs are not clusterfucky to use, we get a proper secured squad radio now, and yeah all this fluffy handheld computer bullshit. Also new backpacks, and new boots, wew. 3. Sadly, we still need the conscription because of large border size. We are not japan, we can't just set up 2-3 JSDF bases and be happy because we're living on a small island, regions are hundreds of kilometers apart from each other, we need to keep atleast some sort of the army potential in the case of enemy invasion, BEFORE main troops come and help to the front. That means, there ought to be some sort of a militia troop in emergency cases, built from the reserve of people who did the mandatory army service. On another hand, this service is worthless, because its 1-year long, and most of the time you just learn the stuff that you will forget next year without proper practice. What we really need is to abolish conscription and move onto more lax gun laws, cultivating gun culture. But then again, too many social issues to allow such gun laws.

  1624. William Pitsenbarger PJ in Vietnam. An inspiring story. Died in 66 and took forever to be awarded MOH. Didn’t know him I was later 68-69 but became aware of his story just recently.
    57
  1625. One more downside you didnt touch on. I was a 19D and we were all well trained on the TOW. However when we deployed to Afghanistan they never even left the connex. The expended wire would have made excellent IED command wire

  1634. This battle reminds me of a similar battle: the Battle of Long Tan. D Coy., 6RAR with full strength of 108 soldiers: most of which were draftees at the average age of 21. They took on Viet Cong's D445 battalion, estimated strength of around 700. The movie 'Danger Close: the Battle of Long Tan' recreates this battle. I've watched twice; the first with my dad in a cinema full of Vietnam veterans, the second time with my mum who would tear up during the movie. I highly recommend this movie, even though it didn't have the budget of US Hollywood

  1637. You missed a few huge problem with what's. The amount of crime and ability to know who people are and where they came from and their criminal history. There's also the cost of hundreds of billions a year in social programs and the overwhelming of schools and medical resources.
    55
  1638. So is the part that says “Front towards enemy” actually on the front, or is it on the back so you can read it when you have it pointed in the right direction? A comma could really clear things up, but as written, it's ambiguous. I'm confused. Also, assuming it's pointed in the right direction, it's safe to sit behind it right? 😉

  1639. Cappy, it holds the 20kw power in the capacitors so in between attacks it doesn't use any power. The issue is the capacitors take up a lot of space.

    54
  1645. Of the three guns in the race this one is clearly the most bang for buck, with the only downside being "spreading plastic along with the freedom" and ofc the silencer looking, let's be fair, A tad dumb. But I get these guys went for substance over style there, presumably you'd be able to put a longer thinner silencer on?
    54
  1646. "my le' ears!" I'm wheezing my dude... I should probably get tested.

  1647. SS shot themselves in the balls by executing those POWs. After that became common knowledge, nearly all SS who were captured alive didn't stay that way long.
    54
  1648. I was pretty upset over the last video but I’m really glad to hear this retraction at the end. You guys totally didn’t have to do that and it’s super cool you did. Nobody’s perfect and stuff like that happens. Keep ip the awesome work.
    54
  1649. Been waiting for this video. When the notification happened ‘I Ran’ to click it.
    54
  1650. 2:45 Soap (the playable character) is using the GPNVG-18 which is still pretty new and up to date and the wider FoV is kinda accurate and an advantage over the ENVG-B from what I see.

  1652. A Big Thank you for the Command & Conquer Humvee Quotes. The RTS Games shall NEVER DIE! Nevertheless, the JLTV seems kind of nice. Liking the Idea of that Laser, especially IF it can turn Terrorists into the Mush they claim they to want to turns us into.
    54
  1653. Bradley's can kill armor, via TOW. I know there are anti-tank rounds in the 105 mm NATO ammo supply, so this is not just a bunker buster, it has to be able to defend from enemy armor, like a self-propelled anti-tank gun, when nessisary....
    54
  1654. I’ve never been in the service myself, but I’ve seen a few videos by SF guys who really didn’t like the FN SCAR.
    54
  1655. The M777 is only that accurate (2m radius) using the EXCALIBUR round developed by ratheon.
    54
  1656. FYI, USS Enterprise CVN-65 was an Enterprise Class Carrier, not Nimitz, essentially a one off and in many ways testbed used By Navy to confirm or educate naval architects on how to build a nuclear powered aircraft carrier, that is why "She" was commissioned in 1960 and the learning phase was the following decade, followed by USS Nimitz joining the fleet in 1974, after that learning period. major differences being Enterprise had 8 reactors of the type in service on Submarines , Nimitz have 2 reactors designed specifically for a large Carrier sized vessel. This story would be worthy of telling in its own right.

  1658. Why instead of giving m320 to 3 soldiers in a marine squad not giving an MGL-140 (m32 Grenade Launcher) to a soldier who is more trained and have enough space for MAAWS (M4 Carl Gustav)two men team With extra rounds in 12 man marine rifle squad which already being armed with M27 IAR (assault riffle-Light machine gun-marksman rifle) https://www.battleorder.org/us-marine-platoon-2020

  1659. Finnish infantry platoons also have 6 PKMs, 3 squads, each with 2 of them. Gotta love the firepower.
    53
  1660. Preatty much everyone in NATO, who used the PKM before, keept on using it. Great machine gun. No reason to replace it.
    53
  1661. As for the Iranian Nuclear deal, you failed to mention the controversy over the limitations of inspections. That was the biggest stated reason for pulling out of the deal, NOT the fact that Iran kept developing Ballistic Missiles or funding terrorists with the money (although those were factors). The fear was that because inspections had to be declared up to around 2 months in advance AND only a specific set of agreed upon locations were even available for inspection, that Iran would just: 1. Hide evidence of nuclear weapons development ahead of inspections where possible 2. Continue development at locations outside of the agreement where option1 was impractical 3. Use the eased sanctions to actually speed up their nuclear program much like North Korea apparently did in the mid-90's to early 2000's Maybe this video was rushed and your research guys missed this one, but leaving that out of the video (given it's importance to the argument) in favor of minor argument points makes this video appear biased and manipulative on that issue. That's the gotcha of controversial political videos. You pretty much have to be an investigative reporter these days to do one that can stand up to the massive scrutiny it will receive from both sides. Maybe set aside more time for research and discussion on videos like these than you would for your bread and butter content in the future? This is and honest suggestion as I don't believe this is something you and your crew did on purpose or because of your own political bias.
    53
  1662. I must say that I'm highly impressed with the Quality of this Video! On top of being a colossal undertaking that had to have been done really fast in order to be Released while it's at its peak Relevancy (hence the numerous minor Editing & Dubbing mistakes. I much prefer this being Released sooner than being more polished but be Old News), the Amount, Depth, Scope, Accuracy and Quality of Research that was done, combined with the very well structured Delivery, are the Reasons why this Video is of much higher Quality than the average, even though it's a Major Project! Very well done!

  1664. 1:40 gave me an idea, put your pop tarts back there to get them freshly toasted
    53
  1665. Insane - integration & new doctrine a must. Create ranges/training facilities to accommodate the new tactics. In fact, reshuffle the status quo. Talking in terms of base locations & current composition of units. Great vid dude.
    53
  1666. Not a vet, so take my thoughts with a healthy dose of salt. Also thanks for your service and your content! Personally, I like the idea of plastic casings, but as you pointed out, the reliability falls into question, especially since earlier versions had issues with plastic softening under high heat; given the last dozen or so active military operations and occupations occurred in the hot (SERIOUSLY HOT) middle eastern theatre, not to mention all firearms get HOT when fired repeatedly, these early versions certainly do not inspire much confidence. However, IF these new versions can perform under high heat and in the varied conditions of war our modern infantryman can expect to face, then weight savings is a HUGE pro. Also, if the plastic casings, produced en-mass cost substantially less per round to fire (plastic is cheaper and lighter than brass, right), then I think plastic casings/non-casings are definitely the future. Of course, I can already see substantial ecological impacts of millions of plastic bullet condoms arising as unforeseen consequences of the change. With brass, there is a little bit of money to be made collecting it, if not for the military itself or its rehab contractors, then certainly for locals impacted by the war. No such benefit for plastic, we can't even pay china to take our plastic anymore. Plastics would allow soldiers to carry more ammo, coupled with a slower rate of fire and more accuracy, this allows soldiers the ability to put more lead down range into Charley's face before needing resupply (of ammo at least). The polymer casing is another interesting one and inspires a bit more confidence than the straight-up plastic-cased rounds, however, plastic is a polymer and generally calling a polymer a polymer is just a fancy marketing tactic devised to squeeze out higher margins per round. The steel-brass hybrid is probably my favourite, as I imagine it remains compatible with traditional brass cased rounds of the same calibre. What I didn't see in any of the proposals was the ability to swap out barrel and carrier to accommodate theatre specific rounds. I remember watching a program some years ago on history channel where such an assault weapon was expoed, and I have always liked the idea. It allows infantrymen to load out for the theatre they'll be fighting in such that they can utilize captured enemy munitions in their own weapons. Few strategies have in history been so decisive as cutting an enemy off from their supply lines and besieging them until they have run out of weapons and food. Of course, airdrops have made this a little less significant of a worry. My other major concern other than ammunition is durability in war. The relative simplicity of an M4 or M16 allows it to be field stripped, cleaned, repaired, and slapped back together without too much difficulty. The more complex receiver and chambering mechanisms on the new weapons concern me not only in terms of rate of fire but also in the number of potential jam inducing catches. Also, while I love the idea of electronics helping steer and balance the weapon for accuracy, electronics also provide possible failures due to poor handling (no infantryman has ever landed on his weapon running out of a personnel carrier or jumping out of a chopper) and could prove to be a significant weakness in a war between nuclearized nations. If the electronic weapons perform AS WELL as the current standard fare among current infantry assault weapons, with the electronics powered off, then this might be a moot point. However, if the weapons use the electronics as a crutch and become weaker than current assault weapons when the batteries die or when an EMP knocks out the circuitry, I think this might be a significant con to infantry adoption. I think any weapon on the list could prove valuable to the infantry combat role, as each offers weight reduction (allowing infantry to haste with a little more speed), each offers improvements to handling, and each promises lighter rounds (some lighter than others) which increases the ammo carry capacity of the average infantryman. It remains to be seen if such weapons which employ more plastics and polymers will stand up to decades of abuse by the infantry, whether they'll match the ease and reliability of current M16 and M4 rifles in real-world combat conditions, and whether the new round designs will prove to be mere marketing gimmicks or whether they'll prove to be as reliable as traditional round designs and provide real-world benefits to our infantry.

  1677. i have always believed that the old Doctrine of landing on a beach that was full of the enemy was fools errand, you literally land on a beach that you will know you are going to loose up to 50% of your troops on the 1st landing. We have the tech today to make sure that does not happen. Essentially the landing craft is a landing craft and does not need an expensive price if you have the means to clear the beach before the troops arrive. This Doctrine of landing your troops on a contested beach without support needs to go. Our Marines lives are on the line and they should be protected.
    51
  1678. I feel like Sig is doing a lot of things right right now. Of course their prices always reflect that but hey... what do you expect.
    50
  1679. Sounds like a good plan which mirrors the UK Royal Marines. Having armor isn’t part of their job description, leave that to the Army
    50
  1680. It's a shame you didn't show Ned Kelly's actual armor, made of bits of farm equipment bashed into shape. It weighs 44kg (about 100 pounds) it held up just fine to rifle fire.
    50
  1681. Ive known i had ptsd but never realized what the hyper vigilance is called. Thanks dudes
    50
  1682. Great work Cappy . I enlisted in the guard before 9/11 and after 15 years moved to active duty as an officer. I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting and writing on this change in the military, and more specifically the army. I’ve sort of split the “culture” of the army into 3 eras within gwot. I loosely frame these eras in our uniforms and our changing understanding of our role/mission/etc. From BDUs/DCUs of the 90s (Cold War army, drill & ceremony, bunch of Desert Storm Vets in the guard)to the UCP ACUs (everyone is a Warrior and a door kicker, regardless of MOS), and finally MultiCam ACUs (trying to end GWOT cause it’s getting ooooooold, moving into “large scale combat operations” in our schools). Something like that anyway. Thanks for the video, I really like the dive into the impact on SF. My experience is all from a conventional force perspective, so I really appreciate that segment!

  1685. I’ve never even been in the military and I’m laughing my ass off!
    50
  1686. The video is very clear your position don't try to acquiesce to complainers on the comments. One should question what the objective is with these tax funded weapons that are apparently being used at will and for what ever purpose.
    49
  1687. Good job on bridges, very interesting talk
    49
  1688. Guys guys guys..... It looks cool Plus with plastic ammo, it’ll be fine, kinda maybe
    49
  1689. Iv seen many different videos on this topic but I think this one will be my favorite. Your humor is always a plus Thanks bud

  1691. Awesome video and the first I've heard about it. Thank you
    48
  1692. Cappie , I almost never comment. When you popped up on the general’s press conference, my coffee performed a full spit take. You do such a great job in so many ways. Your humor, analysis, and excellent presentation keep me coming back. Thank you! -Former SGT, 2nd RGR BN, (would love to have had you in my squad…would’ve been hilarious, I’m sure)

  1694. This is why I keep returning to this channel. Chris here holds himself accountable to his work!! 95% are not this reflective of criticism. Very respectable 🙏
    48
  1695. We get more impartial history from an average infantrymen than the news or school. This is another hit 🔥🔥🔥 Iran, and a lot of us, fell victim to the same tricks.
    48
  1696. Dude it's godavri, not gadavari....😂😂 Anyway, highly appreciate your efforts to let us see our own strategies from a different point of view
    48
  1697. It is possible that their tank's main gun is not capable of firing ATGMs and they have to put an ATGM launcher from the outside, the best way to fix this problem is to not rush your tank production and actually just make a better gun.
    48
  1698. The new night vision optics are used as weapon optics for rifles later in the game.
    48
  1699. i mean why not use a gun that fires 1,500 rounds a minute with controllable recoil and looks badass
    48
  1700. Props to your animator, those were super cool
    48
  1701. I don’t care if the army adopts it I want a .308 version of the MCX Sig is pitching for this
    47
  1702. It wasn't just a 105mm canon. It was the 105mm cannon. The Royal Ordinance L7!
    47
  1703. I love how this weapon designed specifically with the afghan war in mind is arriving just in time for the end of the afghan war.
    47
  1704. Such a good video but so factually inaccurate. 1) Britain never fought in Argentina they invaded a British Island, 2) the 5.56 round was forced on NATO by the American administration, 3) oh bloody hell you get the point lol. The L85A1 always had the ability to be an excellent rifle it was just incredibly badly made. They used to fall apart, drop magazines and were generally not Squaddie proof (nickname for rank and file British soldiers). The A2 was pretty close to the rifle the SA80 family of weapons was supposed to be and the A3 should be excellent. It took as long to get the SA80 right as it did the M16 with it's M4 configuration. Your British impersonation wasn't offensive it was bloody funny mate lol. Keep up the good work.
    47
  1705. They're sending in a Seven Nation Army?
    47
  1706. I maintain that the Kharkiv offensive is what is called in Chess a "gambit." I don't think the offensive has a goal yet other than to force Ukraine to make some difficult choices. Reports currently suggest that a large portion (possibly 90%) of the Russian troops in this group are held in reserve. If this is accurate, the goal is to force Ukraine to decide what sort of troop allocation to devote to resisting the attack. The goal is to then deliver a major blow somewhere to stretch the defenses past the breaking point. It remains to be seen whether this will be successful, but I htink the goal is to achieve a breakthrough somewhere (anywhere) that can be leveraged to disrupt Ukrainian defense and start to provide near total freedom of movement for the Russian army into deep Ukrainian territory.
    47
  1707. It is possible that the ATGM launcher was added so that it could achieve standoff with potential enemies. ATGM’s usually have longer range than a tank’s main gun, so standoff would be possible with that weapon system.
    47
  1708. Love your videos! Cool to see a video about my army :D Just wanted to point out that we still use the M4 and the M16 as a primary gun, it depends on the unit and the brigade. For example I, a paratrooper fighter, am using a M4 but fighters from Golani brigade are using Tavor.. Anyways, good content, love from Israel!
    47
  1709. Even your getting on the MGS train? Weren't you like 5 when it came out?
    47
  1710. You think that's bad? Us Brits sold a number of ancient "Saxon" armoured cars from the 1980s to Ukraine. The former chief commander of British land forces, Richard Dannatt, said that supplying the vehicles to Ukraine was "immoral" as they were "useless" in high intensity warfare. 😬 Didn't mince his words did he?
    47
  1711. 0:37 Oh wow I thought that was just a PNG of the MP5, turns out you have it in person!
    47
  1712. One thing that baffles me is the lack of communication between UK and US forces passing through the area. If we'd been better coordinated some US casualties could of been avoided
    47

    46
  1715. Cappy you didn't check your sources thoroughly in an effort to get this posted. Both jets in the clip you posted were Ukrainian Mig-29s. There are several vids calling this a dogfight. Other than that, great vid..
    46
  1716. Man i had a zune when i was over there, had it loaded with some adult content and everyone would borrow it when they went to the shitters.
    46
  1717. Playing devil's advocate regarding the ATGM's: As mentioned, tank on tank combat is relatively rare. Having a couple of ATGMs can allow the tank to carry more HE rounds and use the expensive ATGMs for other tanks (though probably still carrying sabot, only less of them). ATGMs are quieter and harder to spot where they are fired from, and can fire from longer ranges, not to mention may hit other tanks behind cover with a top attack (assuming the missile has the capability). They might also make sense if used against other tanks with active protection, allowing a quick double tap ATGM+Sabot in an attempt to defeat the APS (depending on the APS, this may or may not be effective). ATGMs can also be used against low flying aircraft, giving the tank limited AA capability. I think ATGMs can make sense on MBT's if they are used sparingly for those niche cases. With this in mind, awkward reloading of the missiles is not such a big deal, as they can fall back to SABOT from the main cannon if they expend both missiles in combat.
    46
  1718. All for absolutely nothing at all. RIP to all NATO/US soldiers and suicide PTSD victims.

  1719. Since you're probably wondering, the title change did get me to click the video. I saw the first version, and I didn't know what it was about, so I skipped it. I started watching the video after you changed it to the current version. Love your content btw!
    46
  1720. Hey Chris, I just wanted to say thank you so much for making all this content for us to go through every week, really appreciate the hard work! Always look forward to the next upload!

  1721. Actually the US Army didn't modify/"steal" multicam, they already owned the original scorpion pattern which they contracted Crye to make for them back in 2003, where it was used in those camouflage trials you mentioned, and yes, overall, the "desert brush" pattern beat it. Scorpion W2 (aka OCP), is as far as we know identical in pattern to the original scorpion, whith the only difference probably being slight updates to the color pallete. Otherwise a great video! You didn't exactly take a completely neutral stance on the issue, but we all know how if you even mention how UCP isn't that terrible you will get crucified by a bunch of keyboard warriors Part 1 of Hyperstealth's "U.S. Army Camouflage Improvement Explained" has some great info on this. I would highly suggest anyone interested in camouflage to read all of the parts, 1-6.

  1723. I didn’t know there was season I just thought I was some army guy ranting about how upset he is about not eating crayons
    46
  1724. Can you do a video on Underbarrel Shotguns like you did for the Underbarrel Grenade Launchers?
    46
  1725. I genuinely live for your videos. Thank you!! I’ve gotten to the point, I rewatch videos when I’m in a funk. Your amazing illustration and information you share is what we’re missing in society. Not a conspiracy theorist, but someone that leads by results and data. I love it, keep bringing reality!

  1726. Actually the exoskeleton, at least the leg one, is more advanced than most people think. They are already being used in Japan for elderly people and others for rehabilitation. They are also being used in car factories and are slowly being adopted across many industries now that they have worked out a lot of the bugs or problems with earlier models and each year they are getting better.

  1727. I guess he was wrong. The Ruskis are moving back, not assaulting Kiev.

  1729. Everyone should have a sidearm . If they can send BILLIONS IN "AID" TO OUR ENEMIES for bull shit then they can give everyone a sidearm .
    45
  1730. Great video. One note: 70k personnel is just for land forces and just for actuall combat personnel. In total it's about 115k. And if you add air forces, navy, special forces etc (without 35-40k Territorial Defense) it's about 180k. Still a long way to go to reach that 300k. Honestly I think we'll settle on 250k active and 50k reserve. Plus about 45k Territorial Defense. Cheers!
    45
  1731. Quote from "Case Red": The inability of France to mount a effective defense at home and for its overseas assets in 1940 is clear proof that over-reliance on collective security can be a fatal mistake, as a corollary seeking to enlarge a security system by adding members unwilling or unable to make meaningful contributions is counterproductive and self-defeating."
    45
  1732. So I'm currently in the Army and as a driver I was given an M26 along with my 249 and M9. Honestly that shotgun is trash. Also we got 3 round mags as a standard. If they had just upgraded the mossberg we would be better off. The thing isn't not ergonomic at all and doesn't seem well thought out. If you watch terminator salvation christian bale uses it in the end fight. Kinda shows how ridiculous it is.
    45
  1733. "No sense risking the elite forces on this one." Man that had me rolling 😂
    45
  1734. Your reasoning as to why Australia aligns itself with the West instead of China seems to align really well with Samuel Huntington's article "Clash of Civilizations". The article is from 1993, so it's not the newest, but it seems to explain a lot of the rising international power dynamics quite well. I like your videos. Keep up the good work!
    45
  1735. They don't give these guys guns, right?

  1737. @Task & Purpose There are reports indicating that india is buying B-1 Lancer from the USA which will be a Paradigm shift in the Indian defence acquisitions.

  1738. Re: 1P87 "On par with the EOTech". People who I know with a 1P87 say it sucks. Reticule is too dim for most applications from what I've heard, and allegedly it doesn't hold zero very well.
    44
  1739. Nobody here is claiming that they couldnt have done it, or even that they shouldnt have done it. It being an escalation doesnt mean that its not justified. It just means that the stakes can, once again, get higher. If the stakes keep getting higher, theres even more losers in this war than there is now. One side here can, unfortunately, set the stakes higher than the other. Thats why all factions included, yes, even the ones not actively waging the war, should try to act in de-escalatory manners.
    44
  1740. Big thank you for the continued in depth dive into Ukraine! Keep it up!
    44
  1741. "Sometimes that door wins". Word of wise.

  1742. Let's not forget that every sniper has to check if Mercury is retrograde before taking the shot lol
    44
  1743. You are getting funnier and funnier. The memes are really funny as well.
    44
  1744. As I saw in another source, the estimation of 3 million includes all calibers, including self propelled munition, and that the estimated rate of produclion of the main caliber of 152 mm is around from 1 to 1.5 million.
    44
  1745.  @Taskandpurpose  well we got all 3 depending on the unit lol
    43
  1746. 20 years ago there were "special" kevlar/titanium based combat helmets available if your government could afford the $9000 USD per item. About $17,000 USD in todays money. Apparently they were rated NATO 5.56 at 100m. I dont have a reference number not model number, but thats what I was told and was shown a real model.... We trained with no helmets unless live fire.
    43
  1747. Thanks brother,peace…
    43
  1748. the graphics team is ON POINT today. well done with this silliness.
    43
  1749. Trickle Down Gun economy is real, and not limited to guns. Example: If you look at pictures of gear that the Rangers and Delta were using in Mogadishu in 1993, it bears an amazing resemblance to the kit an average infantryman was using circa 2003.
    43
  1750. is this video a re-upload or just 10 years too late?
    43
  1751. I had too much fun firing the Balashnikov I mean the Galil wait no I mean the Kalashnikov. What a trip through military history this one was!
    43
  1752. I feel kinda attacked... when I was still in, I always carried two knives, 550 cord, and a lighter. Both knives were big-ass Benchmades (this was back before the news broke) that scared the crap out of civilians. And I only drink whiskey. The rest of the video sounds EXACTLY like a PV2 I knew... god, I hope he never has kids.
    43
  1753. Can Americans really point fingers concerning bribery? 🤔 ...but your right- how they spend their military budget is telling ...it tells me their focused on domestic security as opposed to American foreign policy aimed heavily at power projection- helicopters are the major indicator of an army's intention to invade foreign countries ...no prizes for guessing who has far - far more helicopters than anyone else.
    43
  1754. Great Videos, but Youtube just messes your videos up. Thank you for actually handing out this info because I am actually interested in this topic and your videos help a lot with all my topics that interest me, And thank you for your service in iraq.
    43
  1755. Cappy should do a video about the roles of motorcycles in military context.
    43
  1756. Russia for some reason wasn't informed about the "unwritten rule" that you aren't supposed to attack military targets deep within your enemy's territory.
    42
  1757. Cappy, you kinda missed an obvious point and that is if you removed the ICBM force entirely, that's hundreds of enemy warheads that are now free to be targeted elsewhere, such as industrial targets in cities and further saturation of areas already targeted. Also, I have not seen any convincing info as to just how accurate current and next gen Russian/Chinese warheads are. In the past it was determined that to destroy one US silo, the Soviets/Russians would need at least 2 warheads to kill it. So, in terms of Russia, that's potentially 900 warheads out of their 1600 or so deployed strategic warheads. (Obviously, they're not going to totally use that many but you get my gist.) We diffidently need to keep the sponge by all means.

  1763. I'm a knife guy I'm not in the military but this is 100% accurate
    42
  1764. My favourite weapon of all time! The first time I fired it, I hit the mark like a veteran. I had never shot firearms before that day！I was so surprised by how easy it was to handle!!
    42
  1765. Hello Cappy. What's your opinion on South African Armored Vehicles and Other weapons of Cold war era? especially Vektor CR 21 from District 9 , Casspir APC , G6 Rhino, RATEL , ZT3 Ingwe Laser guided wireless ATGM and DENEL Rooivalk ?
    42
  1766. I would prefer an aug over an an m16. It is austrian quality as its finest. I think the special forces use the ar platform because it has more customization. On an ar for example you cant change the stock but the bullpupness of the aug does not allow you to change it. The ar platform usually has more rail space for attachments. The aug is not as customizable as some other bullpups out there. Still i prefer my finnish made rk62m3 over all other infantry weapons.
    42
  1767. I like the corner you've added to your head Cap!!

  1770. That PlayStation analogy was so on point lol. Outstanding content. Channel seems to be blowing up
    41
  1771. Near the end you mention more small generating stations. You said 50 milliwatts (mW) or 0.05 W (watts). That is electronics levels. You meant 50 megawatts (MW) or 50,000,000 watts. Unfortunately in Ukraine a lot of power generation are central heating and power (CHP) plants where they provide both heating (hot water or steam) and electricity to a community. That arrangement is rare in North America. So it is harder to replace those plants than just dropping in a 50 MW LM6000 gas turbine to make electricity as heat generation equipment is needed too.
    41
  1772. Why do we need that Red Coat? We already have a guy with a British accent. Come to think of the previous Brit kind of looks like Cappy. Anyway the earlier guy has a much better accent than this Red Coat. In case it's not obvious, I'm joking. Thanks British guy and Cappy for this interesting video.
    41
  1773. I was there. The fighting we had in Sadr City was completely different that what we had in Afghanistan. From IRAM’s, to EFP’s, and tons of CQB.
    41
  1774. Hey Cappy. I noticed "Prisoners of Geography" on your shelf. Bought it to check it out. What a great read. I understand a lot of historical conflicts in a totally new light as a result and encourage anybody interested in geopolitics to pick it up. Keep up the amazing videos and insight.
    41
  1775. Did anybody notice later when Compton was playing darts they were wagering cigarette packs instead of money? I always loved that little detail
    40
  1776. Cappy, great job brother. Telling these stories from a objective POV is invaluable to the public and does great honor to the soldiers or gave and suffered. I commend you on getting through that without breaking down, I would have had to stop and been crying throughout. Good job man.
    40
  1777. 0:15 Aged like fine wine.
    40
  1778. I love your government official Schtick so funny/accurate!

  1779. Ok but imagine your rifle falling out from the seat on a rough trail or something
    40
  1780. 0:42 No, the program was started in 1996 and Afghanistan was never an influence on the program. 1:04 No, it was never supposed to be a simple upgrade to the Marder. It was always supposed to completely replace the Marder. 1:34 It failed? In 2021 it was certified to be combat ready for the VJTF. 2:53 Again, wrong. The origins of the Puma begin in 1996 and the "Neue Gepanzerte Plattform". 3:01 Please, never try to pronounce those words again. 3:25 Why would they want a bigger cannon? That would only reduce ammo capacity and increase the weight even further. For the role they have in the German army they really don't need anything bigger. 3:37 So? Statistically, 98 % of German soldiers fit into the vehicle just fine. The real problem is that bigger soldiers would fit but if a mine explodes under the vehicle they would suffer head and neck injuries. Not really considered to be a problem by the German army. 3:45 That is true for every vehicle. To get into a Leopard 2 you have to be small too. To be a fighter jet pilot, you have to be under a certain height. Again, not really a problem and not different from virtually any other vehicle. 3:47 Vollmer was Inspector of the Army and not Chief of Staff. The roles are similar but not the same. 4:54 Well, for the German army it is. Especially in missions like Afghanistan. Basically all German soldiers that have died since WW2 died due to mines or IEDs. For the same reason, the Leopard 2 received an extensive overhaul and mine protection in the Version 2A6M (M meaning mine protection). 5:15 So just because the US thinks sand backs are enough to protect the lives of their soldiers, Germany should repeat the same mistake? Mine protection IS important... 5:35 Those have been replaced years ago but with night- and thermal vision black and white is all you need. The images provided by the sensors are black and white 95 % of the time anyway. 5:59 Yes, in 2018. That was solved via Software Update already back in 2018. 7:10 Never, try to pronounce that word again. Never. 7:18 That is not even a bad value for a new system and the Bundesrechnungshof is known to see the entire Bundeswehr as a waste of money so one should take everything they say with caution. 7:34 Why should it be obsolete? Now that NATO and Germany are deploying troops in the Baltic the Puma has become more important than ever before. 7:45 The Marder was never supposed to be completely replaced. Actually, the number of Marders was supposed to be much higher. Those investments are relatively unrelated. 8:14 Where they wrong? Have you ever seen a program that wasn't delayed and over budget? Now the US has spent billions and still hasn't found a replacement. Is that really better? Remember, you still have to use Sand instead of real protection. 11:20 Thats already been done.

  1781. The SPMG in ArmA 3 is the GD version in .338 Norma. It is my favorite gun in the whole game. You can clear houses, suppress enemy, and take very long accurate shots with the right optic.

  1785. The longer your video, the better
    40
  1786. Please, don't talk about countries like Poland "leaving Soviet Union". Neither Czechoslovakia nor Poland were part of the Soviet Union: we were however, to some extent under millitary occupation (the Polish occupied themselves so the Russians didn't have to do it in the 80s) by it and rulled by communist parties loyal to Moscow, but we were independent states nontheless. There is a stupid trend to think that post-communist countries had and have no agency, are just passive entities with no sovereignty and this is certainly not true. Talking about Poland as a part of Soviet Union shows not only your ignorance but also perpetuates this view that is one of the main reasons why we have a war in Europe right now.
    40
  1787. Nothing's funnier than the truth
    40
  1788. Different, but I like it.
    40
  1789. In WW1 the open desert and hard ground making extensive trenching impossible. meant that several cavalry charges were successful by Australian units who were developing a reputation for toughness and resiliency. Heres a quick representation but there are longer tactical presentations available. https://youtu.be/1zfBM9rvIzk

    39
  1792. Nice video! I think a lot of people eother dont know or forget that half the reason we have the freedom we have today is because of the stability the Navy and our allies provide on the seas for our trade. Its more important than you think!
    39
  1793. U guys are just pumping out videos now I love this new schedule
    39
  1794. 0:35 at that time Russia haven't annexed Crimea yet.
    39
  1795. That would be the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment, not 3rd brigade 1st cavalry division. Trust me, I was there. Also General McMaster was the CO of 3d ACR at the time so it would be weird for us not to be there. Great guy btw. Blood and Steel dawg.
    39
  1796. The comparison to China supporting Vietnam has one little issue - the weapons supplied were eventually used against China. There’s no such thing as an eternal enemy or friend in geopolitics. Weapons supplied to Ukraine could be used against NATO, especially in the situation where Russia wins and install a puppet regime. This is also why the west were reluctant to provide lethal aid at the beginning of the war, when most people expected a swift Russian victory. In terms of aids, if NATO really wants Ukraine to win, it will need to send at least its Air Force. The Soviet Union sent air force to the Korean War disguised as North Korean and Chinese pilots, so western pilots can just disguise as Ukrainian pilots along with donated jets. The catch is, pilots and jets are expensive compared to grunts (with no disrespect to Cappy). Sending pilots and jets in significant numbers would be Very expensive. It’s doubtful if any leaders would make this level of commitment.
    39
  1797. Just 3 problems? Damn, they’re doing good!😂
    39
  1798. We had some hysterically comical short rounds during preparation for the opening of the Iraq invasion because we fired early generation rounds on a second-generation range. The SDZ range safety at Graf had fun for not worrying about a 'too long' range fan for once. Meanwhile at the CTCs we did have many arguments about the speed of the missile when wheeled vehicles like the Fox Chemical Recon would get adjudicated as having "outrun" the slow flying TOW. Yet never get equally cited for exceeding the max safety driving speed in the training area!
    39
  1799. stop calling yourself an average infantry man, obviously you are a slightly below average infantry man
    39
  1800. You unwittingly revealed the real problem...when you said optics were probably the best chance for improving marksmanship.....you can slap any kind of optics you want on any kind of rifle...unless the soldier is properly trained in marksmanship skills all you have are Stormtroopers who couldn't hit the floor if they fell out of bed. Remember....it's not the glove, it's the player.
    39
  1801. "We have been left no other option to protect Russia and our people, but for the one that we will be forced to use today. The situation requires us to take decisive and immediate action. The people's republics of Donbas turned to Russia with a request for help." -President Vladimir Putin Yeah seems like is what putin wanted from the start, at the same time it's really hard to confirm because goals change all the time, maybe when possible, they would have taken kiev. I dunno man too complex.
    38
  1802. I hope this channel blows up soon, your videos are so good
    38
  1803. When I hit the fleet I got issued a large plate carrier at 6'1". It covered from collar bone to waist. It was heavy, cumbersome, and I couldn't bend over to get in and out my truck. My section leader, at 6'4", wore a small plate carrier. It covered maybe 1/3rd of his torso. But that was worth the trade off for weight and mobility. The struggle to decrease your load is real, and if people are gonna whine about our "complaining", that means they haven't carried it when it mattered.
    38
  1804. This kind of weapon is the result of the bloat in our defense department. Its design is under-estimating the basic principals of Newton's equal-and-opposite reactions. It will fail; you can see that the cartridge overpowers the firer. It looks like it's kicking like a Garand or a Kar 98K. What you have here is a re-invention of the FG-42. The FG-42 was a weapon that tried to do everything that a squad needed, and it failed to do anything well but long-range single shot (done better by the existing rifle; the Kar98K). The Stg43-44, limited in design (and thus streamlined for efficiency) by the necessity of war production, was a way better answer to the problems the Luftwaffe was trying to solve with the FG-42, cheaper (even factoring in an entirely new cartridge!) and more effective at both fully automatic and close-range firefights. This will make some friends of some Senators rich, but will leave the soldier on the battlefield reverting back to simpler, more battle-tested equipment (if he lives through his first engagement).
    38
  1805. Shout out MP’s dog that was lost in an air assault mission in Baghdad, Iraq 2006. It just took off in a muddy palm grove to fast for anyone to keep up and with its vest on no one can recover or get accountability again. Shout out to Old Abe (1861-1881) of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, which is the bald eagle we know on todays 101st Airborne Divisions insignia. Final shout out to the horses of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment The Old Guard (TOG) of the past and present. Notably Black Jack the last horse in history to be branded with US Army serial number “2V56”on his neck. Known for President Kennedy’s funeral. The Horses of The Old Guard are unique, they have been to war in the past since the day of the calvary and are still working today in our nations most sacred shrine with honor. Lest we forget our horses!
    38
  1806. Hey! I subscribed to your channel, but for some reason I cannot view the content that unlocks. Maybe I am just being impatient, but thought I’d write a note anyway. Looking forward to viewing the Bell and General Dynamics interview in particular!
    38
  1807. My great grandfather was in the battle of the bulge he was in The 6th cavalry
    38
  1808. In the mid 1960's Guns and Ammo printed a nice article on Alvin York, in which they claim Alvin trained with a Springfield while in boot. Alvin became famous shooting the Springfield. While awaiting to go over seas to fight Alvin's division was reissued with the new Enfield.Alvin shot the Enfield and didn't like it, said the Springfield shot better. He asked if he could be reissued the Springfield. Being he was Alvin York he got his Springfield. When his division arrived in Europe Alvin was the only soldier armed with a Springfield. Alvin did all his famous shooting with a Springfield.
    38
  1809. In my humble opinion, you seem to have reasonably well vulgarized the relative merits/deficiencies of the Puma. As you aptly stated, development issues are generally revealed as the bits of kit get issued/used/abused by the end-users! Thus, a 10+ yr adjustment period integrating tech with hardware and user requirements is par for the course. All new high tech toys are money pits initially, then they hit their stride and all is forgiven.
    38
  1810. 9:06 I think you mean warships, instead of battleships
    38
  1811. I'm a Long Island Italian who speaks not Italian and only leaves the country to go to Iraq :D :D :D :D
    38
  1812. I think you outlined its strengths and weaknesses pretty well. I think it's too Heavy and too tall, but is well equipped for battle. Operating in sand for extended periods is hard on tracks which are definitely a consideration because you become a mobility kill as soon as a track breaks and rarely does that happen at an opportune moment. Good Video and an honest assessment of its capabilities.
    38
  1813.  @Taskandpurpose  I'm glad you can have fun with it lol!
    38
  1814. Your father’s new family resulted in massive cost overruns that resulted in a final product that is underpowered and overweight.

  1815. I need Ukraine war updates daily, pls upload everyday
    37
  1816. The M320 with a Grip and a Pistol grip is just Awful attaching it to a Carbine. The M203 is already perfect for that.
    37
  1817. The units that don't over rely on NVDs and don't issue them to every soldier. Combine basics such as off-center vision, caution with tactics (esp. using cover and concealment regardless of limited visibility) and knowing not to ruin your natural night vision for every man and losing your depth perception, particularly on the move. PS: Chris, you are hilarious at times, yet when it comes to talking at a professional level you are equally good. Well done. You should have stayed in and would have made a great CSM. You continue to serve in your current capacity and I hope you make some money off it. It would be well-deserved. Infantry 27yrs!
    37
  1818. Should of mention the soldier that was there but never mentioned, fucked with or basically no one ever knew about him.
    37
  1819. Rome didn't fall until 1453.
    37
  1820. I love the double speak. Military "Support".... It's an FOB with a pretty name.
    37
  1821. Your channel makes me happy.
    37
  1822. Because we’re losing battles cuz the M4 and 5.56 isn’t working? 🙄 Sounds like the military industrial complex is lobbying hard to suck up more of our money. What a waste.
    36
  1823. In regards to your quote/theory about 5.56 maybe sticking around in a PDW capacity, I think the PDW-R concept would be an excellent choice for tight-quarters CQB, it would be able to be very small, but still keep a 12-ish inch barrel for decent velocity, and if you could give it as high rate of fire for CQB purposes (say, roughly 900rpm) then you could unleash absolute hell in close quarters from a small rifle, and have a little added lethality from more rounds hitting the target in quick succession, catching 4-5 rounds faster than you can blink would be a devastating wound even wearing body armor, your ribs are now broken, you can't breathe, and the fight has literally just begun.
    36
  1824. Err, if the blast doors are designed to withstand a 30 megaton nuclear explosion 1 mile away What's the problem with dropping a 40 megaton job half a mile away?
    36
  1825. In the intro the second river you pointed out isn't the inhulets but the vysun. The inhulets is further east. Well some of it is the inhulets but most of the path you showed is the vysun which is a tributary.
    36
  1826. I think that it’s a good idea for the NATO allies to each play to the strengths and work together to shore up each other’s weaknesses. Thanks for another awesome and very informative video.
    36
  1827. I love that u can speak of this

  1829. I once helped building one. The man that had it couldn't get permission to use it, for some arbitrary reason (just because!!!) but he didn't care and used it for years. He was inspired by the German gyrocopters used on submarines. A couple of drones will quickly ground those Chinese gyrocopters. And I would like to have on. Just after the Jetpack!
    36
  1830. The issuing of sidearms and how they have gone from a often ignored weapon to what they are today.
    36
  1831. Finally someone got it right
    36
  1832. Hey cappy will you make video on Chechen wars it had most gruesome urban combat maybe since Stalingrad especially In gronzy where whole motorized units of Russian republic was destroyed by insurgents.
    36
  1833. T&P Executive: Was it hard to come up with this new concept for new videos? T&P Writer : Actually it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. T&P Executive: Oh really?? T&P Writer: As it turns out, when you steal ideas of another youtube channels, you can say you are paying an homage to them and you don't get sued. T&P Executive: Amazing. P. S. I don't think it's really stealing, that's simply how youtube works today, and as far as I know, you asked Ryan if he is OK with it and he said yes. 👍😁
    36
  1834. Cappy, if you consider Colombia an ally, we also have MGLs here (Not fancy picatinny railed desert tan finish ones tho)
    36
  1835. Deserve a million subs
    36
  1836. Cappy have you not realised by now that SF are as their name suggests a bit "Special". They cant be seen wandering around with the same guns and gear as a grunt, it would blow their cool special factor. Oh and I dont think the Americans can really say anything about biased trials ...... you have covered more than a few of them 😂
    36
  1837. The problem with body armor in the past was the weight and cost of it. Many of the pieces of lobster armor during WW1 was thrown out because of its weight and the lack of maneuverability. The Germans also made thick sheets of metal that could be locked onto helmets which made them bulletproof but again it was often thrown out. The only use was for machine gunners who were hight priority targets for snipers. Just thought I'd mention this because lots of people don't know about this era and I wanted to point out some stuff you didn't mention.
    35
  1838. It’s not a joke when it’s true
    35
  1839. @Devin_Laugherin You obviously missed the point.
    35
  1840. I think him and Audie Murphy were the younger Medal of Honor winners during WWII and they both came from the same background as orphans at an early age. With the exception of Audie becoming a battlefield commissioned 2nd LT at 19 years old. These boys grew up to be men and leaders under combat conditions.
    35
  1841. Tinders girls be like: Swipe left if you can fit in a Puma IFV
    35
  1842. Me who’s going to college before enlisting Maturity 100
    35
  1843. My jaw literally dropped and I thought of my dad, when you said the Army is "80% POGs". My dad was a fuel truck driver.
    35
  1844. I think you did a significant disservice to those brave individuals fighting for Ukraine. The key is they are mostly fighting out of a sense of honor and what is right. It is totally not their fault if the foreign legion is not well run. Foreigners fighting for Russia are mostly all doing so for material reasons. You completely failed to make these distinctions clear.
    35
  1845. dead or alive your coming with me
    35
  1846. Oh dang shout out to Dan Carlin he is off the chart!
    35
  1847. I do agree the M9 has it's short comings, but not a piece of crap or unreliable at all. I had one break the lugs underneath the chamber, but this pistol. Had close to 80-100k rounds through it (TRG and qual weapon only) they were beat on. Other than that I carried one for 5 years and never had an issue.
    35
  1848. Before I watch the video, CONGRATS on being on Pierce. I think they could of included you a bit more in the discussion but you got your point across.
    35
  1849. Dude your graphics are my favorite reminds me of want me and my some of my class mates used to do for our journalism class. Deliver serious info in the corniest way possible. Hilarious thanks for the videos. Somehow your humor tamps down my ex”T”istential doom fear. Thank you for your work good stuff.
    35
  1850. Why are all of these exaggerations except for the officer?
    35
  1851. Man I hope your channel blows up and you get some serious recognition.
    35
  1852. Semper Fi. My heart is with you Devil Dog.
    35
  1853. Hey Chris, you mixed up the geography. The west side is plains and the east side is mountains.
    35
  1854. It's rich saying US Generals don't study Russian military doctrine when that's probably be the definitive topic of military learning in the West since the cold war.
    34
  1855. 0:37 I really like that you included this.
    34
  1856. The cosplay comment got me laughing hard 😂😂 that’s exactly my first thought but glad you mentioned it, yes, you may have your fun now 😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
    34
  1857. Until just now, I'd never heard of Francis Curry. There should be a movie, or at least a 15-minute dramatization about it.
    34
  1858. Like you said, "without Air support". The West never came good with Air support. Ukraine still needs the jets to carry out successful offensives. Nato would never go into offence without air support. It's like sending the troops out with rubber bullets and saying. Hey, get on with it. Ukraine needs more Bradleys, Leopard 2s, F-16s, and Grippen fighter jets. Let's be real. Why does everyone ignore how much Ukraine has achieved without airpower or a Navay?
    34
  1859. Thanks for the IMAX plug, I will definitely have to watch that! 👍
    34
  1860. If anyone ever is attempting to give you flak for the glorious mispronunciation of ukrainian presidents names - treat such comments with calm, dignified disdain! It is one of highlights of this video and should be protected as UNESCO cultural heritage phenomenon! ))))) Keep up the good work, I do really enjoy it! )))
    34
  1861. You should do more live streams if your schedule allows. The one with HLC, mcbeth and Preston was amazing
    34
  1862. Lol, I had a grenade pouch at the exact same spot on my kit. I often kept one of those little cans of Rip It energy drink in it.
    34
  1863. Did I hear Mrs Cappy clanking dishes around 11:30 lol
    34
  1864. Fort Lee summed up pretty nicely
    34
  1865. Damn Cyberpunk have become a reality with that helicopter design. Good thing I'm leaning towards Google as my corporate overlord.
    33
  1866. Excellent analysis. Imo the Army has made an excellent decision that 'looks' far into the future of troop warfare where 'average' Amercian soldiers will be meeting other 'average' soldiers 'en masse' on the battlefield. Obviously SOF teams or missions that require speed & extreme mobility will use THEIR own specialty weapons. Looks like the Army will have to program mandatory 'upper-body-strength' training into their soldiers weekly schedules to properly cope with these heavier/more powerful weapons, new body armor & comm/computer systems.
    33
  1867. Heck yeah they’re making a civilian version?
    33
  1868. It's a big RC plane, for heavens sake. The next step is counter-drone technology that targets the radio links. Then what? Well, then you take that damn $10k radio out of the drone and you put a $50 AI in that finds its own targets. It's not exactly hard to identify a 50 ton piece of hulking metal and to kamikaze dive on it, right? Now the cost goes down from roughly $5 million to $5000, so you can afford 1000 tank killing loitering munitions for the price of one large drone. The enemy will hardly be able to shoot them down with $1 million missiles designd for $100 million planes. So now they have to design tiny drone swarms that can take your loitering munitions out. At that point the human soldier is simply BBQ meat in a war between smaller and smaller machines.
    33
  1869.  @Taskandpurpose  Start hiding the up armor kits that the Hummer used.......
    33
  1870. Thank you, Cappy. This is the most clarity I've seen on the war since the Ukrainian offensive began.
    33
  1871. I remember when you had 5.6k subscribers, glad you're moving up Edit: video games are never 100% accurate, and you should've went tip to butt with the plate.
    33
  1872. The story of South Africa's mine resistant vehicles began much earlier in Rhodesia and they were really ugly things. But I guess you focused more on the Casper because it fits into the US MARP story.
    33
  1873. 0:01 yes Jodi had a fun time with your wife if you know what I mean
    33
  1874. It's pronounced "mill-core" not "milker"
    33
  1875. 17:28 m’y brain 24/7
    33
  1876. I like GD design but we all know it’s gonna be Sig
    32
  1877. Used the minimi in 2004 in Iraq, loved it. Still not as good as a GPMG (M240 to you yanks!)
    32
  1878. Hey Cappy, have you ever thought of covering the IRA’s many wars against the British? Generally, although it’s mostly guerrilla tactics, the IRA almost always adapted perfectly to the times to continue said guerrilla war from flying columns in the 20’s to the modern day ‘Real IRA’ car bombings
    32
  1879. That was the best "Advertisement " I've ever seen, Well done Sir.
    32
  1880. I always liked your vids but of late they seem to be getting even better. Well done on excellent content Chris. Have a sub.
    32
  1881. No mention of the Winged Hussars?
    32
  1882. Another great video, Cappy! This one and the one where you discuss the possibilities of US military intervention into the "War on Drugs" are very well done! The amount of thought that goes into them makes me believe that you are above average! IMHO, the best thing about your videos is that you don't "push your opinion". You clearly delineate your opinions from the facts that you gathered...from multiple viewpoints! They force the viewer to THINK!. Please keep them coming.
    32
  1883. Great analysis, is there a way you could cite your sources in the same video card? Like in the corner like some other journalists do. Along with your logo. That way we can clip and share different parts of the video. I know you are already uploading it as is, but It would be amazing to add a citation list also. This work is in some sense academic. And anything worth claiming is worth citing. So a citation list in the descriptions with timestamps is ideal for this situation. Thanks again chris!
    32
  1884. each platoon is 4 squads Laughs in 11 1-man locked squads
    32
  1885. Not gonna lie, the music video had a certain appeal to it. But this is good too.
    32
  1886. Can you do a video on Medics and future MEDEVAC plans
    32
  1887.  @Taskandpurpose  I read that in Jordan Peterson's voice, lmao.
    32
  1888. Nice job but check your pronounce for "Savoia!", cheers!
    32
  1889. Incinerators costs: millions Medical bills costs: billions
    32
  1890. "Spaghetti arms"?! THAT'S RACIST
    32
  1891. because I haven't finished developing my hand held, belt fed, air cooled, pump action grenade launcher yet.
    32
  1892. But...More gun = more fun...
    31
  1893. Can you make a video about War on drugs in Ecuador from the beginning to 2024 Ecuadorian conflict.
    31
  1894. Great story. The part I loved the most is that the other soldiers kept campaigning till finally they got their brother his reconciliation he deserved.
    31
  1895. "giving new meaning to the term: silent, but deadly" should've been the slogan for the entire USAF stealth program
    31
  1896. Once you get to shoot the textron system you should really make a pros and cons for all the different bids
    31
  1897. Last, no one else can comment now.
    31
  1898. Outstanding analysis. I have said it before and I will say it again, you would have been an outstanding intelligence analyst. And awesome shirt! I have always said that the majority of analysts miss out on 2 key pieces of information. These being morale of the enemy and the # of countries that are allied with them. You hear that China?
    31
  1899. Forgot to record Jody jumping out the back window.
    31
  1900. I wasn't convinced of this guys credentials until I saw him looking intelligent standing in front of a map.
    31
  1901. 04:20 I know why he was smiling, the secret sauce is not being affected by CS Gas. 1/1000 baby
    31
  1902. The classic economic phrase is “guns and butter”, when discussing domestic and foreign spending. This video was well made. Thanks for the historical asides. Thanks for all the effort into making this video.
    31
  1903. This channel is slowly becoming my favorite.
    31
  1904. "'You brought a gun to a knife fight.' Then I f____ing ran!"😂
    31
  1905. Who needs good knees anyways 🤷🏻‍♂️
    30
  1906. tried that bitch out at capstone 4. thing is so fucking heavy. only had it on for about 15 minutes and when i took the ACH that had it attached to it off it felt like i had been wearing my opscore with ALL my attachments on it nods included for an entire night of missions. definitely needs a lot more work if they really want to integrate it into regular infantry units. thank god socom doesn't have any interest in these things otherwise i'd have my team doing entire morning pt neck exercises to turn their necks into rocks.
    30
  1907. Don't mean to be picky, but the British never fought in Argentina, they fought in the Falkland Islands, which are some distance away from Argentina, and contrary to people's misconceptions, have never actually been owned by, or part of Argentina.
    30
  1908. Yup, I was ANG. At the time I went over to the Afghan aor NG made up around 30% of all deployed. Even after I separated, my old unit was sending people every 6 months or so up till around 2015 give or take.
    30
  1909.  @Taskandpurpose  the Chief of the Modularity Branch will be very small, but capable of adding additional people to themselves... to make themselves larger if necessary.
    30
  1910. You mentioned wanting to be a be a fair view on both sides when making earlier videos and I believe this is a prime example. I am happy to have learned more and it is truly wonderful to see commenters from Iran supporting and/or providing corrections to the information. Thank you!
    30
  1911. Cappy you do a great job mixing your experience and research and this video is a perfect example of this. Keep up this fantastic work!
    30
  1912. 222 "BATTLESHIPS"? WTF? At 9:09 in the vid. Even supposing that means "ships capable of battle" then why site 254 "FRIGATES"? Frigates are, in some sense, smaller versions of ships capable of battle. That segment makes no sense. Didn't you realize that while reading it?
    30
  1913. So you don't have to retrain 2mill worth of people on how to use their weapon.
    30
  1914. Remember everyone. If you take care of your cardboard box, your cardboard box will take care of you. The most valuable item in your arsenal is your cardboard box.
    30
  1915. As someone who served on 3 separate SSBNs (those ballistic subs you mentioned) I say, Come on in! The water's fine! Enjoyed the video! I always enjoy learning about what we are doing now, compared to what we were able to do when I made my living poking holes in the water.
    30
  1916. "people think the CIA is playing some kind of 4D chess to arm the taliban" bro..... it wouldn't be the first time. and it wouldn't be the first time in the last decade....
    30
  1917. Inspiring!
    30
  1918. Thank you for this new intro. I'm just glad someone has a bit of sympathy towards average citizens who are pulled in Putin's egoistical war against their will.
    30
  1919. My first ever YouTube comment! Thank you Cappy. fantastic work. Really heartfelt and informative journalism. I learn a lot from your videos and love the way you make them. THANK YOU
    29
  1920. The 3rd arm is actually based on a camera mounting system. It may be very useful for keeping heavy weapons steady, but I'd prefer a bipod or tripod... Funfact: the idea goes back to the Alien franchise where the actors struggled moving their weapon props, which were in actuality MG42 with many add-ons!
    29
  1921. Love this video (though you should have mentioned the unique VLS and how it's different). I hope you'll do something on the Arleigh Burkes and how they're holding capability back due to the platform which isn't an issue the Zumwalt would have had. I certainly understand what led to the cancelation of the Zumwalt, but capability wise it's beginning to look as dumb as only buying 3 Seawolfs.
    29
  1922. Idk why, but you remind me of Lewis Nixon from Band of Brothers
    29
  1923. This aiming with nods is weird as hell
    29
  1924. SKS. I can feel the fighting spirit in the rifle itself. The SKS was actually the first true rifle I got to fire when I was younger, and it was a blast
    29
  1925. I am thrilled to see democracies around the world beefing up their armies and banding together so we will eventually stomp out the final remnants of authoritarianism and enjoy continued prosperity for the rest of days ❤
    29
  1926. " HUMAN ERROR " GREAT ! Ha,Ha !
    29
  1927. Damn, I never knew the Roman tactic of building a wall to encircle your enemy was ever done past the 18th century, let alone in the 2000's.
    29
  1928. This video is very interesting to me. My son did three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan in the US Army infantry in the 1ID and the 1AD in Bradley's. Thanks to all the vets who served in the Bradley's. I been told by vets the enemy feared the Bradley over M1Abrams . The M242 Bushmaster chain gun is a 25 mm (25×137mm) single-barrel chain-driven autocannon. Used the Bradley fighting vehicle is very wicked🥺autocannon. Go Army Go 🧔
    29
  1929. NEEDED THIS VIDEO, Just rewatched pentagon wars last night lol
    29
  1930. Really loving the more clean and professional style of the newer videos. This is great, you're becoming like a more contemporary, US focused Military History Visualized
    29
  1931. yours is the most comprehensive, and least biased of all news channels I have come across. Please keep upt the great work. Greetings from Germany
    28
  1932. You failed to mention the 12 foot ladder.
    28
  1933. Lot of people commenting here are missing the point. 5.56 was good enough against insurgents in their daily clothes. 6.8mm is to fight peer to peer wars against trained soldiers in their ballistic armour. You don't get much close to the enemy in a peer to peer conflict to have rifle length be a problem. If you have the range advantage, you take the range advantage.
    28
  1934. Can we all appreciate the fact that cappy just throws shade at everyone and we're all for it lol
    28
  1935. Future subjects to cover (My company provided the OS in early UAV) * How the first UAVs were armed (we learned a lot from the Israelis) * Swarms, both defensive and offensive (this will be a major issue in near peer conflict) * Electronic warfare angle (each side will be seeking to down, disrupt, hijack opposing drones)
    28
  1936. Nice, let's see Paul Allen's AGM missle launcher
    28
  1937. Lost it at the modular musket. Man I love this channel.
    28
  1938. I've owned one for 15 years. Very reliable, never jammed. Weighs a metric ton, good luck hitting anything out over 100 yds.
    28
  1939. Great video! Definitely learned a lot. I had no idea US funding was on the table to defeat Hamas from the Bush administration
    28
  1940. Amazing video. I always wondered why did Germany and the USSR invade Poland that triggered the beginning of World War II. This video shines a bit of a light on why 2 very evil dictators agreed to attack Poland circa 1939 with some rather unfortunate consequences for the entire world. Thank you. Great work.
    28
  1941. NO NO my guy. The cut back triggered major backlash in Congress because the military industrial complex needs that MONEY!
    28
  1942. Goddamn I love playing “Settlers of Catan.”
    28
  1943. Cavalry charge with Toyota Camerys when?
    28
  1944. I think this knife fixation goes back to when man first made a blade. 101st AB WW2 Veteran Don Burgette in his book "Currahee" writes that in his company guys were going to the hospital from knife fighting ea. other or fooling around with knives.
    28
  1945. Had a battle buddy who cut himself at a gunshow pretend to be an expert with a knife. Ho doubled down by saying, “And that’s how you know it’s good knife. When you cut yourself with it.” Good friend tho.
    28
  1946. Hey Chris. Just wanted to let you know... I've been watching your channel for quite a while now and always find your videos informative and entertaining. There are a lot of shitty channels out there trying to get subs and likes. You produce quality content with well researched, genuine and pertinent information. I'm not a military guy but your straight-up approach and humour have made me look forward to your videos. I'm always happy when I see a notification. You have one of the best channels on these topics. Thanks for putting in the effort to do it better than all the others. Thank you also for your military service and keep up the great content.
    28
  1947. Dear Cappy: it’s Kim Jong IL not 2nd.
    28
  1948. Aren't the mw Bradley and Stryker meant for this role? A "light" vehicle that can support infantry. I would argue they would be better because the 105mm cannon is over kill considering they're not meant to fight armored vehicles. The autocannoms I think would have been better
    28
  1949. I walked to my kitchen while listening to this, as I was starting to crouch to look into my fridge this man said tier-7, I almost dropped on the floor right there.
    27
  1950. Would you want to take this into combat over the m4?
    27
  1951. Task & Purpose using my art at 1:30 was not on my checklist. Thanks man <3
    27
  1952. "die-mesticate"
    27
  1953. As someone who's had to service Krauss Maffei machines, I'd rather go to battle in Disney princess jeep.
    27
  1954. Task & Purpose penis
    27
  1955. this just isn’t what we shouldn’t had done it’s just politics and I personally believe that politics and war shouldn’t mix.
    27
  1956. Love your all your stuff buddy! I think I’ve watched most of your stuff, But please more stuff like this. I dig it.
    27
  1957. I guess you cant grow a mustache so you Mock it like the little boy you are...
    27
  1958. Thank you for your great videos. Incredibly well documented and well explained.
    27
  1959. You're giving me that B movie John Krasinski vibe lol
    27
  1960. The quality of your videos has gone up quite a bit. Very exciting to see the progress of your channel. Excellent work!
    27
  1961. "Range of Mona Lisa: 2 maybe 3 meters." 'Range of Norma magnum: 2000 meters.' Worth.
    27
  1962. Task & Purpose I ditch my side plates, so is that like + 6 fighting spirt? Where do I find this on a DD214?
    26
  1963. The delivery of this was 1st class! Those soldiers had absolute nerves of steel even in the face of death. In the end though it’s always the indigenous population that will turn against you….. their forces definitely sided with the Taliban smh
    26
  1964. Did I just watch Cappy defending a bullpup design? Ohh you're on the wrong side of the bugaloo Cappy (Sarcasm mode on)
    26
  1965. You could still go Warrant and fly an Apache, Cappy.
    26
  1966. Hey, new fan of your channel, but did that video get cut off? It seemed to just suddenly end. Anyway, keep up the good work!!
    26
  1967. Cappy, in the course of making that cute little thumbnail of yours, did you stop and think to yourself "How did it come to this?"
    26
  1968. From a senior soldier; one of the clearest and substantial presentations on the subject. Go CC.
    26
  1969. If they didn't have value the Chinese wouldn't be building their own. The idea of worrying about the radiation effects where only the radiation of the areas encompassing the silos is silly since it is almost assured that other areas would have been eradiated as well and all out nuclear war would mean an end to human civilization, perhaps for good. It's a shame once again a great nation and people, the Chinese, have autocratic leaders that choose confrontation and expansion over an agreed upon international order that allowed their rise.
    26
  1970. Normally the videos in this channel are well researched. Unfortunately the German makeshift tank destroyer "Marder" from world war 2 has absolutely nothing to do with an APC or IFV. As others already mentioned, the Sd Kfz 251 is the predecessor of modern IFV.
    26
  1971. This video reminds me of a time The Chieftain was talking about the Merkava and how he asked an Israeli tanker if he thought it was the best tank in the world. Apparently, the Israeli tanker said something along the lines of "We don't think it's the best tank in the world, we think its the best tank for Israel."
    26
  1972. Find it funny thay when a story isnt told the way some people want it, they call you a sellout for that.
    26
  1973. I can't exactly explain why, but that Dr Squatch soap commercial is one of the best I've seen on YouTube. I watched the whole thing and never even thought about skipping it.
    26
  1974. i think the optic looks really cool and i like the rotating movement to change the magnification. However i would equip half of the soldiers with it and the other half should get the scope without the range finder
    26
  1975. Task & Purpose Even here in France 🇫🇷
    26
  1976. Hawk Hooah!
    26
  1977. Pressing into Luhansk is currently a smart thing to do
    26
  1978. Thanks for keeping vintage films the proper 4x3 aspect ratio!
    26
  1979. Just to clarify, the 3M figure mentioned in the video includes all artillery calibers and rockets. The number of 152mm shells are estimated to 1,3M annually. Which is actually less than the current capacity for 155mm shells in NATO.
    26
  1980. "they keep me locked away at Fort Benning" 🤣

  1981. Marine 07-11 and the body armor (bomb suit) we had was very heavy, I feared situations of being stuck in a serious fight on deployment in Iraq because mobility was heavily compromised especially if you would have ever had to carry a wounded marine that was also wearing armor and equipment, with yours and his/hers equipment you’d basically be carrying two people which is realistically impossible no matter how much of a hero you are
    25
  1982. If you don't think the US hasn't developed and already fielded weapons to defeat this you would be sorely mistaken. No one had ever heard of a stealth fighter until they rolled out of the hanger in 1989 to kick off Panama. Even after the AF had been delivered the planes it was still a black project for almost 10 years... You don't have to always attack an enemy's center of gravity directly either...
    25
  1983. The virgin M320 Vs The CHAD M203 Yeah, I didn't resist to put this meme on.

  1984. I legit just got done watching this. Man it made me cry. Again, thank you for your service
    25
  1985. Terrorists* not militants.
    25
  1986. I'm very happy to comment on the steps up you guys have taken resulting increased quality of your videos. Presenting relevant and substantiated facts rather than soundbites that don't all add up brings credibility. The tongue in cheek jokes are pretty funny too.
    25
  1987. 18:15 Soldier's creed, warrior ethos.

  1988. Yep my buddy has this underneath his m4. Dead weight most of the time . Have seen alot of people ask what it is beacuse apperently alot of people havnt seen it
    25
  1989. Ehh you listened to me :))) thx for intro
    25
  1990. Considering they're replacing it with the QBZ-191 which isn't bullpup, I don't think they know if it was the right choice themselves.
    25
  1991. Lol I though my internet lagged out
    25
  1992. 1:58 Only people who don’t own one think “silencer” is the wrong word. The man who invented the device called it a silencer. The patent calls it a silencer. The ATF calls it a silencer. Manufacturers such as Silencerco call it a silencer. Retailers such as Silencer Shop call it a silencer. A similar device for bows, which also quiets, but does not eliminate, the noise of firing is called a silencer. The terms silencer, muffler, can, moderator, or pew’nt, are all fine with me. The only word I WON’T use is “suppressor” because that word makes pedants happy and you should never oblige a pedant.

  1994. Chappy actually giving credit to the Ukranian Army for once and not prasing the Russians. The End is near.
    25
  1995. T&P, this video is incredibly well done, thank you. I knew about Myanmar and Syria, but all the other conflicts I did not. It is a damn shame to see Mexico's military go downhill; I use to watch videos of the Mexican Marines arrest cartel members on Funker530, and it's sad to see them start to become corrupt
    25
  1996. Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
    25
  1997. Felt a need to mention this, you don't necessarily need a 13hr convoy to move equipment from Narvik into Finland, the harbour has a railway line which connects to the Swedish mainline at Boden. You could then take the load to Haparanda/Tornio where you would either drive to the frontlines or transfer the equipment onto the broader gauge Finnish railway for further transport.
    25
  1998. Interesting look into an interesting rifle with an interesting look at the Soviet Union's central planning. Actually Looks like a pretty good rifle. Great job.
    25
  1999. I like this series of intermittent foreign policy deep(ish) dives, the Myanmar one was also very good. If you could explain to me what Wagner/Prigozhin is (has been) doing in Africa, that would also be interesting.
    25
  2000. This is correction I was looking for, I would like to point out that the most recent US army numbers given to Congress point out that the Army plants will reach the 100k 155mm shells a month sooner than expected next year, that means 1.2Million of just the 155mm for the US alone, that is enough to feed every Ukrainian cannon easily, with an European step up, it will out produce Russia by late next year easily.
    25
  2001. If I understand correctly, Russians count short-range rocket launcher tubes (e. g., MLRS), tank guns and mortars as artillery, so that does add up to 3 million artillery equivalent rounds produced in Russia. Westerners make a distinction between rockets, so the clarification is helpful. Thanks.
    25
  2002. Incorrect interpretation, ruzzia is producing 250 shells of all types, notonly artilery, but tanks, mortar shells, lower caliber artillery. It is not 250 000 of 152mm shells produced per month - all types.
    25
  2003. Don't sleep on General Dynamics! Bullpups are the best way to go for mechanized infantry which is basically all infantry today and in the future.

  2004. I was under the impression that Haiti's government had fallen and it was total chaos there. Thanks for info, hopefully for the people there just wanting to peacefully live their lives things will get better sooner rather than later

  2018. What´s about those Puma and Lynx images? Did you just put them in the video because their also infantry fighting vehicles or why I don´t see a real reason
    24
  2019.  @Taskandpurpose  Those regulations are in place, to stop production facilities and storage facilities burning down or blowing up. The idea of getting rid of regulations is a good thing - isn't what you think it is. Ask people in Baltimore about what happens when that happens and things like ships hit bridges, blocking harbours and harming industrial production (import and export)

  2026. If you had seen the US Army after Vietnam, hoo boy. 50% of truck drivers couldn't even drive their trucks. In the National Guard, you only needed to attend 60% of your scheduled training to avoid penalties (It's why W missed so much fly time) Then St Reagan poured billions into the system with no controls, and POOF $400 toilet seats. So the American military may give away money, but at least an accountant somewhere noted it down. On a side note Clinton really squeezed out a lot of corruption by simply setting the military budget, and letting the generals fight over who got the money.
    23
  2027. It's almost as if the Humvee with it's capable off-road performance, encased cabin with protection from the elements and small arms fire. And a reasonable weight that allowed it to be airdropped. Was the right mix needed for most operations. With heavier armored vehicles meant for high intensity battlefields. But no the Humvee needed to do absolutely everything! And when it couldn't the military ended up with absolute hogs or open topped buggies that can't be used in most climates or an actual battlefield. Congrats; every vehicle is now an optimized, modular turd sandwich!

  2029. The counter offensive plans were leaked, remember? That was huge. Not only did the leak show deployments, objectives, and timetable, but it also caused a long costly delay.

  2030. Cappy, so glad you are reading all those many pages reports “so I don’t have to.” Thanks! Keep up the great work! This was a very good and informative video. Bravo!

  2038.  @Taskandpurpose  No worries guys. Please be safe and have an awesome Christmas. This post was meant as a joke. I have absolutely no issues with what you using my content.
    23
  2039. Oh yeah, a fun thing about the CV90. As there are not enough Leopard 2 tanks around, the Swedish army is planning on making a CV90 variant that uses the Leopard 2 tank turret. It can also be fitted with mortars and other such fun things
    23
  2040. Textron is not hiding anything. Tactical Rifleman has published 3 videos on the Textron Rifle and LMG. Look up Tactical Rifleman and NGSW on Youtube.

  2041. németh balázs Yeah, the 130 and 140may have been tested, but there is a pretty significant reason for them not adopting it. And I said there is no dart for HEAT rounds, not HE (even though neither have a dart), and up until recently the UK didn’t even use HEAT, they used Squash Head HE. And also when you make the gun bigger, your ammo capacity shrinks.

  2043. "...this was the first ballistic protection against rifle rounds, that could be realistically worn." I would like to correct you on that statement. There was one particular superpower that went to war in Afghanistan from 1979-1989 before the Americans did. That conflict was actually the first time a modern army begin issuing plate carriers that can stop assault rifle rounds. I would say the first true modern plate carrier is the 6B3 vest developed by the former USSR. Please note that I am personally not familiar with Russian nomenclature for infantry kit and that some modern Russian non-plate carrier equipments also share "6B" designation. The first vest of the 6B series was the 6B1, introduced into service in 1957 but in limited numbers, this vest consists of hexagonal aluminum plates imbedded with aramid fabric. Its NIJ equivalent is roughly II or IIA. The next one is 6B2, introduced in 1981, it was the first mass issued vest of the USSR. It consists of layers of aramid fabric and small thin titanium plates roughly 1.25mm thick imbedded. Its protection level was equivalent to NIJ II. Later in 1984 the 6B3 vest was introduced. It is the first plate carrier designed to stop intermediate rifle rounds. It consists of aramid fabric and underneath layers of overlapping pouches held together by velcro that can insert titanium plates thats about 4x4 inches and thickness of 6.5mm or boron carbide plates. Its protection equivalent is NIJ III, weight is approx. 10kg. The latest next generation plate carrier introduced by Russia is the 6B45 as part of the Ratnik program, which was debuted to the world when Russian troops went into Crimea wearing these new kits. Surplus Soviet plate carriers and the ballistic plate inserts can still be bought online and are actually not that rare. Information on Soviet and Russian body armor are scarce in the West so it is a bit tricky to find more information. Google "realitymod Russian Body Armor?" yields some good bit of information if you like to know more.

  2044. “Former Army veteran” I don’t think that means what you think it means

  2045. That recoil though
    22
  2046. Both the AK-12 and the MK-14 are the sexiest rifles ever made, that’s not opinion, that’s fact
    22
  2047. Great overview of the situation Cappy, draws together some really interesting indicators. I'd echo Dr. Stephen Kotkin's observation on the Ruso-Ukraine war as a further consideration. To paraphrase Dr. Kotkin, "If you take, you can't have." If China needs the Taiwanese microchip industry, any military invasion to seize it will most likely result is that industry's destruction through physical damage to infrastructure and human resources, much less attaining serviceability in an enormously complex process with a hostile and likely insurgent occupied nation. If he wanted Tiawan, the CCP shouldn't have treated Hong Kong so poorly in unification. Xi's best bet was to woe Tiawan by showing that an autonomous region construct was indeed viable within the CCP. The question remains though, if the complex web of factors you have brought together here, will allow the CCP rational choices instead of irrational reactions.

  2048. big fan of the channel, keep up the good work! & thank you for your service!
    22
  2049. This vid is super amazing of how bringing up some of the serious scary things going on in Afghanistan is disgraceful. Something does need to be done to actually put a stop to this madness and joe Biden did a F minus awful job of actually helping keeping things under control and it’s still bugs me a lot when watching the news
    22
  2050. Your soldier was not standing at attention, it lacks discipline

'Thank you for the quick brief overview, however, the M-14 (without all that other funny shit all over it) was the Main Battle Rifle on board USN combatant ships well into the 80's.The Army is not the only killing unit amassed under DOD."

  2065. 19:59 No no no…. The best military buzzword is Tactical! Not lethality 😂 you yourself have pointed out how easy it is to add tactical to anything and make it sound better. Like this tactical comment for instance, or your tactical merch sale, tactical word play, tactical humor…. All things I love about your channel! Thanks for the information and the laughs!
    21
  2066. My only feedback is a comment on your tank cage thing I need to clarify that the cage was never meant to stop stuff like Javelin or NLAW, it was meant to stop lower caliber older munitions like RPGs being launched from rooftops and drone strikes and also from 82mm mortar attacks In addition the cage can serve as a good hang for camouflages to be put on it, including the ones that reduce heat signiture which is their only way to properly protect against Javelin, and to add to all of that, these cages have been serving well as extra storage for the tankers to use
    21
  2067. The concept of the Raptor is similar to that of the M1 Carbine. The M1 Carbine was given to Medics, Artillerymen, Drivers, and some officers. It was really useful for those who had other tasks and it’s small size a low weight was very popular. The US hasn’t had a rifle like this for a long time and it will definitely give the troops an edge.
    21
  2068.  @Taskandpurpose  oh wow, thanks!

  2069. BATTLE RIFLES ARE BACK BABY!

  2070. You know this guy is legit prior military when he said pop-tarts in cargo pockets. No need for dd214, everything checks out here.
    21
  2071. Kinda the difference I've always noted was an immovable object vs unstoppable force kinda thing. The USMC is meant to go in and kick ass, when the army comes up behind them and occupies the taken areas. And it'd be completely up in the air on the debate of who would win in a fight. Cause again, the army is an immovable object, the marines are the unstoppable force.
    21
  2072. This video answered a lot of questions I had about this round. You and your team did a great job. Im all for our military using this.
    21
  2073. Don’t get it… lighter weapon… heavier ammo. Rather have more pew pew than fewer big pew pew.

  2075. Yo , Cappy why does your beard appear and disappear ?
    21
  2076. I fahkin LOVE this take. Had to leave the room so I didn’t wake up the wife by snort-laughing about the difference between SF and regular troops in kicking in a door. Too real. I would love to see a game where the breach man can’t get the damn door open, or the flash-bang takes one of those super awkward bounces, or guys smash into each other because they rush it going through the breach. The section on Army lingo had me going too. This style of understated dry humor always takes me a few seconds but I will be grinning about it all day. I have to say I really liked the realism of Cappy’s point about a small unit just hanging out on the objective after an assault or raid. Consolidate, and GTFO because badness is incoming.
    21
  2077. As a military history nerd, it's so fun getting this vet's point of view on anything.

  2078. Shalom from Israel, 1. That happened / took place around 2003- 2010ish. 2. Most SF/CT/ TIER 2- 1 keep in use the M4 and Frankenstein type SBR from collectible/rebuild / part kits and so on. 3. What the IDF is using is X95. TAR 21 was the first gen (2003-+). 4. There is absolutely no question or discussion about the origin of the FALAFEL : IT IS NOT ISRAELI ORIGINAL , IT'S 100% MIDDELE EAST ARAB ORIGIN, BLESS THEM. 5. FALAFEL IS AWESOME ! 6. Can't understand you millennials! what is your issue with the proper 20 inch barrle and rifle gas length AR, have you ever tried one ? 7.Or 16 inch/mid length... Be blessed, k.i.s.s you all !

  2081. Task & Purpose That was only that ONE time....in the Arma 3 simulator.
    21
  2082. Several of the main IFVs out there have been around for a good while already. Warrior, BMP-2 and -3, and the Bradleys all came into service in the early or mid 1980s.

  2086. But is it also lethal enough. We gotta hit all the military buzzwords.
    21
  2087. I didn't know it was named after an ancient siege weapon from China, of all places...But on a more important note; Con Air is one of the few Nic Cage movies that are not only watchable, but actually good. The Rock and Gone in 60 seconds are even better in my opinion.
    21
  2088. Cool video Cappy! I've always wondered how the Javelin works, and it's really nice to know now as it's being supplied to Ukraine! Do you think you could list stuff in imperial and metric though? I know this primarily is an American focused channel, and it's not that big of a pain to look up what 50lbs is in kilos, but it would be nice to just immediately know how much something is without having to look it up every time! Otherwise, a great video!
    21
  2089. Bro Ike Eisenhower warned us about all this. An ex military general and supreme commander of allied forces came out and said WE need to be aware of outside influences along with influence from our own military industrial complex

  2093. Half the fun is complaining, exactly. Where the people complaining about you complaining ever in the military? I quote one of my commanders, "It is the rite of every enlisted person to complain" went on to explain how we will do it but we are authorized to bitch about it. Another quote "when the enlisted stop bitching, that's when you know you have major problems"
    20
  2094. That’s cool and all but when’s the marines getting it
    20
  2095. Dude, I love your videos but please try and get sponsored by someone like War Thunder. It will a lot more fitting than these mobile games right now.

  2098. "i was in the part time Army from 1990 to 2012, and went to Desert Storm and Iraq (2004-2005). Wore different styles of body armor, the alice pack, harness etc. The ACU rucksack was also a bg advancement over primitive OD Green nylon rucks.I thought the IBA was a big step up over the old shit. The harness, though primitive, you could put anything on it (like a but pack). The best field equipment is out in the Mu-Rines, since they have a smaller organization, and can spend more per soldier."

  2104. Embrace the suck. You will feel like every muscle of your body is screaming for mercy. You will get cold, wet, hungry, tired (so tired you will literally fall asleep in your uniform, sitting on your bed, trying to untie your shoelaces) you will feel beat up. You will question your life choices. You will want to quit. But When you make it through, and you look back on all the pain and suffering. And you realize that YOU made it through. You will understand that all that sweating, all that hardship, was molding you. You are no longer a civilian, you are a soldier. You have been through things you never knew you could. But now you know. Now you know, that if you embrace the suck, it will be your greatest teacher and ally. And you are ready to become all that you can be.
    20
  2105. What Chris didn't mention that Turkey's own Altay tank have same parts as K2 and technology transfer from South Korea.
    20
  2106. is it modular? or fully automatic?
    20
  2107. I think a lot of emphasis is placed on the tool rather the importance of training, doctrine, and logistics of a military force. The tools are interesting and fun to debate for sure, but at the end of the day a well trained and well supplied platoon of men armed with M1 Garands will be superior to an untrained gaggle of guys with AR15s. Not to say the AR15 doesn't possess significant advantages over the Garand. Then again rail loading efficiency and economic feasibility make for a dull conversation by comparison to "who's got the best gat?"

  2108. My son was part of a Sapper squad, did route clearance. Not a day went by that I didn't pray for his (his squad's and all our military's) safe return. I still wear a red shirt on Fridays. Sapper comes from the French word, sappeur. It means to zig zag all over the frickin' place, making the enemy think that they're drunk and not a threat.

  2109. "Cappy goes into the field and tries stuff IRL" is a good twist, hope we see more of it.
    20
  2110. I was introduced to ‘pentagon wars' by this channel a while ago and it has been a permanent download on my tab ever since. Thank you Cappy.
    20
  2111. There are theories in historical circles, that it was actually intended to be a cheap means of intimidating a lightly armed civilian population to put down uprisings. Primarily their own population, but also for satellite countries to the USSR (Budapest would be an example). The Chinese have used tanks in a similar way. It is probably what they thought Ukraine would basically be like. just roll a few tanks in to each town or square, and the population would submit.
    20
  2112. Early here. Love the content.
    20
  2113. To expand on the comparison of tubular chassis at 15:06 and other parts of the video, racecars have big challenges in rigidity because they can't put crossbars in the very center of the structure because there's people there. They can get close but not in all three dimensions. Whereas a chassis for pilotless crafts can choose a more rigid and lightweight design by replacing several of the outer triangle welds for one big weld through the middle. Also, I think that's where getting these drone tanks shouldn't always be communicating or hooked up to 5G. They should have either predetermined courses and objectives to fulfill or straight up design AI for them. Robocop/Terminator are becoming near reality.
    20
  2114. Love how the first video you show of the Javelin at 0:10 doesn't have a Javelin in it. It's a British NLAW.
    20
  2115. Thanks cappy
    20
  2116. How can an average infantryman come up with such quality videos? 🤔
    20
  2117. For The United States Marine Corps and Army Infantry, as well as Special Operations Forces, to grow and develop into a lethal Land Warfare Force, 🔥 Arms, Equipment, and even Uniforms and Apparel must be updated and upgraded, that includes the new 6.8mm Rifle and the Sig Sauer M17 Pistol. I AM Prior Service USMC and US Army, and, I will miss the Colt M16A2 and M4A1, and Beretta M9, but, Task and Purpose, I understand that the older gear must be replaced in order to meet new threats on the Battlefield.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🗽🔫🗡️⚔️💣💥🔥☠️💀
    19
  2118. Textron for being overcomplicated as fuck according to the diagrams going around on twitter. Followed by the Bullpup, if I read it right, the M249 replacement will be mag fed?
    19
  2119. This video was clearly biased. He's a big YouTuber and doesn't want to lose his channel. His video before this was unbiased where he spoke about looking at war footage from Russian news on Telegram to get a balanced perspective. He didn't mention the Russian POW torture video that surfaced. He didn't mention an estimate for Ukrainian casualties but mentioned the Ukrainian claim of 15K Russian soldiers dead. He didn't mention that the objective for the Russians is securing the Donbass. Their Ukrainian support is not in Kyiv. He wanted to create a narrative that the Ukrainians have fought valiantly to cause a stalemate. But Zelensky has almost agreed to almost all Russian demands in negotiations. His worst claim was that there were only 1000 Avon Battalion soldiers in Mariupol. Patrick Lancaster is an American on the ground and can give you a different perspective.
    19
  2120. An interesting overview as always. One thing I thought might be wrong though was your estimation of soldiers killed to generals killed. I can understand this ration being correct in a normal campaign but I'd imagine the Ukrainians are monitoring all communications and pinpointing the position of these generals and then striking them directly.
    19
  2121. You should totally team up with screen rant to do one of these!
    19
  2122. There is a single target out of 40 that is from the standing unsupported, just FYI
    19
  2123. Cool shirt!
    19
  2124. I lost it when Cappy hit the table.
    19
  2125.  @Taskandpurpose  The British singer James blunt was a tank commander at that airport, he said that his commanding officer pretty much said he wasn’t going to be the man to start ww3 and made an agreement with the Russians at the airport (basically you have that side we have this side). Also I think it shows the nature of true soldiers, kinda like a “real recognise real” thing. If you scare easy and get all jumpy then so will they (look at what almost happened at the Serbian checkpoint) I think that mentality transfers into day to day life.. we all have to work with people we don’t like now and then but if everyone knows what they are supposed to do the job often gets done with no problems.
    19
  2126. And the sponge theory basically is... REMEMBER PLAY WAR THUNDER TODAY

  2127. The writting for your channel is incredible! At some point some big network is going to offer you a huge sum of money to join them. Ha Ho! Been watching your channel when you only had a few thousand subcripbers. Luv seeing channels take off to the moon!

  2128. Him and the team behind this actually do an unreal job. Funny enough, I found his account on steam, cuz he left a review for an interesting Arma 3 mod😂😂
    19
  2129. Task & Purpose well now I feel really bad. Sorry again.
    19
  2130. Implies only special forces and rangers duel carry. [Laughs in MP] When we were overseas, we all carried at least a rifle and pistol. Gunners had that, plus their crew serve. Team leaders had an M203 attached as their “special” thing to carry. But then again, one MP squad does equal one Infantry platoon in terms of firepower, by doctrine 🤗.
    19
  2131. "And then the next day a few weeks later" I think my infantryman went into a coma.
    19
  2132. Hey Chris! Have you thought about doing a video about the situation in Haiti?
    19
  2133. Good overview. It's hard to cover that much territory in 20 minutes AND make it entertaining to viewers, so congrats. One area of interest that you missed, however, is the era of pike and shotte. It can be confusing to lay historians, but is relevant to infantry tactics and development. In essence, pike and shot formations bridged the gap between the period of melee being the preferred primary weapon and the era of ranged combat. This form of combat also developed the company-strength fighting unit that was prevalent for several centuries after. Think of a standard company marching formation, but all the guys on the outside are armed with pikes.

  2136. RIP Queen Elizabeth II
    19
  2137. 7:40 actually the Red army was outnumbered and had less food reserves than the Wehrmacht and Axis when they took Ukraine, Red army doctrine was about concentrating forces to give the illusion that they had way more troops than they actually had We get the popular belief of endless amounts of soviet troops from German generals, (because, cold war, the USSR wasnt so giving of information so German generals were used instead), who either were fighting nothing then retreating, or fighting everything at once and suffering huge casualties, and its worth noting German intel in WW2 was very bad and any strategic breakthrough relied on luck and force, such as France and Barbarossa, which also explains Kursk and the battle of the bulge
    19
  2138. Drone wars. Mystery Science Theater, good series. I am happy to see optics on infantry rifles. Iron sights are ok at the range, when no one is shooting at you

  2143. U missed a small detail . They ask for patriot systems and usa refused so they went for s400
    19
  2144. You got your info a little wrong. In the annexation of Crimea most Russian troops wore the old uniforms and helmets. Mostly still 6Б23-1/6Б23-2 instead of the ratnik 6Б45 ballistic vest. The helmets and uniforms also were the old versions And not the new nvg ready ratnik 6Б47 helmet. In Russia upgrading takes a while. 2014 90% of Russia's army including the grunts send to Crimea had pre ratnik equipment. And even now barely half of them have ratnik. Infact I have not once seen any ratnik equipped Russian soldier in Crimea before the referendum. There's a lot of equipment upgrades between Georgia and ratnik that you forgot.
    19
  2145. I remember in Afghanistan it would literally snow black ash daily from those burn pits
    19
  2146. I have to correct you. Afghan sim cards arent a "proof" of anything. Because Pakistani simcards doesnt work in border India region, people from Pakistan used to buy Iranese or Afghan sim cards which works fine in those regions of India.
    19
  2147. Thank god. Industry usually knows whats best because they dont care about bureaucracy, they care about cost and effectiveness.

  2150. We never did figure out your issue as a child..as your councillor I expect us to have an appointment and get to the bottom of this monday
    19
  2151. I’m not the professional here but my first thought when I saw the title of the video was a lot of confusion just because “the worst group” is pretty vague so I’m not sure if you will end up changing it but just a thought. No matter the title I’m always watching anyways for some of the best content on the internet
    19
  2152. The mag fed option is something that was copied from the soviet RPK. The idea of a SAW like the RPK was that you could use the same magazines as your squadmates when you ran out of ammo. With a belt-fed machine gun this isn't possible, so that's why they added a magazine-fed option.
    18
  2153. Thanks!
    18
  2154. Your 3 points - I’ve been saying the same since day one. Russia had 8 years to broaden its “invasion” it started in 2014… Why now??? The Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Putin was forced to sell it at a loss of 50BILLION - mostly with Ukraine as a reason for the sanctions spanning the entire 8 years. Much of that money lost was Putin’s personally… So in the global poker game, Ukraine was put up as the ante by the US and Germany - Russia lost and now Ukraine is beating the tiny guy at the table Ukraine - over the head with a busted vodka bottle, and now threatening use of nuclear chairs in a global bar fight…. All for oil and gas…

  2155. How come he makes constant jokes about his Camry bro get a corrolla
    18
  2156.  @Taskandpurpose  Haha well said!!!! Yh those army guys they way more cultured. You can just tell.
    18
  2157. uh but the m27 has a lot less rounds
    18
  2158. The maximum effective range of that bear hahahah I'm dyin'!

  2160. I preferred the 320 over the 203 when I was in. Both work well.
    18
  2161. I am the designer of the multi-tension trigger mechanism. No more firing toggle switch - except safety and live fire. Single fire, 3 round burst, and full auto depending on your finger pull (with noticeable spring tension differences). And yes - "I" was the one in the 1980s who designed the 3 round burst (that led up to the Marine doctrine of accurate fire [cold-demeanor see and shoot] vs just throwing massive loads of BS down range [fear-based shit and shoot) - but that design was implemented months previous to the multi-tension mechanism that the military still hasn't incorporated for 25+ years - much to their lack of reasoning.

  2165. These are always great. Thank you!
    18
  2166. Sounds like the Army is compensating for moving to 6.8 rifle round. Since those guns suck in CQB, I bet they are going to change their doctrine to use Pistols instead of their battel rifles for room clearning.
    18
  2167. If Max Payne can't bullet time with this pistol then it's not worthy of service
    18
  2168. Note you really can't compare the Ukrainian BTR-4 to the older Russian BTR-82 82A etc. It's a far superior machine.
    18
  2169. I love it already. Looking forward to joining my country's Marine Corps. I am sure these tips apply to me too.

  2170. Our weapon ranges are fine, we just were using the 50cal when the comblock weapons were their 50cal version.
    18
  2171. Thanks for another great video
    18
  2172. My experience in the wars in the former Yugoslavia was that foreign volunteers were mostly guys trying to escape from their wives or else from a tedious, meaningless life. A lot of Brits who were on the dole were volunteers. They were guys trying to prove to themselves that they weren't cowards. A motley bunch for sure.
    18
  2173. 9:02 I love it when Cappy thinks of a joke in the bathroom, then proceeds to record from his shower.
    18
  2174. Very well said. I was that SPC in 2010, your " SFC" is who I could have been, he is my brother. Thanks dude.

  2175. I think you really should open up a Discord server so that the subscribers could have a place to chat and interact.
    18
  2176. (7:18) nope, the 8mm Mauser (7.92x57) had somewhat more energy and impulse, than the 7.62x51NATO. Heavier bullet, apr. the same muzzle velocity, 15% more energy. It is closer to the .30-06.
    18
  2177. I caught Cappy saying "Beleni" at one point and several other times it sounded like the audio was spliced to fix the mistake. Did you record the whole thing with the wrong pronunciation and then go back to fix all those parts? :P
    18
  2178. Im just a civie. I have always enjoyed hearing and reading personal accounts. Always nice to hear it put into some humor format. I guess its knowing that, givin your circumstances, you can still find that release. Hats off to you fellas. Its because of people like you manning the gates to stave off the mongol hoards, that my daughters know joy of freedom, and my grandchildren will know that joy.
    18
  2179. Is there a reason why the FO's being pictured without wearing any ear protection? I know the explosions are far away (sometimes) but i'd be worried about hearing loss because they are the radio dudes

  2180. I've seen fisters work and everything, from an 11B perspective, but I never fully understood their role. Thanks for this video.
    18
  2181. @Optical Clarity yeah, they're working on issuing concussion only grenades first within a few years, or so that is the plan. It's the XM111 concusion grenade I think.
    18
  2182. Damn, i want a pasta now..
    18
  2183. I really love that you just give us info, very little bias and let the viewers think for themself. That is so sorely lacking in the "news" and tabloid media. You're channel is a breath of fresh air and I appreciate the content and all the work that goes into it.
    18
  2184. Ooof, that Camp Shelby dig...relatable.
    18
  2185.  @Taskandpurpose  I ain't shaming yah. Men gotta play too.
    18
  2186. Awesome video, thank you. I really liked how you pointed out the lasting changes to the brain after constant fight and flight. Now imagine what happens to a child growing up in a continuously violent, abusive, home. That's how their brain is wired from birth. Terrifying. Anyway I'm here for more honesty about PTSD and as much prevention as possible, as well this kind of quality take on the conflict from someone with experience.
    18
  2187. Hey, this new speaker ain't bad. Straight to the point. Well articulated, and not to mention provides concise information. Keep up the good work.
    18
  2188. Never underestimate your enemy, Good video!
    18
  2189. Dang, great reporting and background info. Quality here is insane. You can have the M&Ms out my MRE any day my dude.
    17
  2190. I definitely understood what you were going for. I think part of the problem is that the word "escalation" has a negative connotation to it. We subconsciously put an "unjustified" in front of "escalation". If we remove that moral judgment of it, then the long range attacks clearly are an escalation: before, Ukraine didn't launch long-range attacks into Russia; after, they did. That's an escalation. One I happen to think is 100% justified, but an escalation nonetheless. I also appreciate that you analyze the situation dispassionately. It's important to understand what is actually happening without having to say "Russia is bad for doing so" every sentence. If we hope to win, we have to understand what is actually going on and then make judgements of those facts. I'm not trying to apologize for Russia or diminish the evil of what they've done. I've sent $3,000 of my own money to the armed forces of Ukraine. But I still want an accurate assessment of what is happening.
    17
  2191. This is the first time I gave money directly to a creator on any platform and I think I couldn't have choose better.

  2192. I've heard arguments that a 5.56 is better at piercing armor than a 7.62 because it's smaller and flies faster not sure if that's true though
    17
  2193. The backup alarm from the garbage truck at around the 18:45 minute mark was hilarious! Here Cappy is using a patch of woods to get into "the field environment" in New Jersey and we have the elusive multi-terrain trash truck trying to avoid being punctured by an arrow. Yeah Cap, I was wearing headphones. I am 66 and also from North Jersey, living in NC for the last 35 years.

  2199. Great video, though you forgot to mention chainmail armour for Mongolians. It became very popular as they closed to Europe, because it was impossible to cut through. All "modern" militaries at the time employed chainmail (with padding, otherwise your bones were still fractured or shattered if hit by a weapon), just like all modern militaries employ "bulletproof" plating into vests. And mind you, plate pieces of armour started to show up here and there too.

  2202. Thanks for loading up a new video right as I go on lunch! That idea about the Marine Vs Army platoon organization is awesome. So many people ask me the difference between Crayon eaters and Enlistment bonus receivers, it'd be interesting to see your take on it. Maybe go into their intended purpose and practical application as well.

  2210. Watching videos of Chuck LaDue and Bill Carpenter developing the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle is such a trip. The Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle seeks out its target using multi-color sensors, a cutting-edge onboard computer and a rocket motor that helps it steer in space. EKV guides to the target and, with pinpoint precision, destroys the threat using nothing more than the force of a massive collision. It moves like a poltergeist.
    17
  2211. Task & Purpose, you are entirely wrong about the weapons range. As a Seal Team 6 Navy General, I can tell you that I can hit 50000 KM away with my iron sights. You are just bad. this is a joke

  2221. Another issue predicted in future conflict is extreme jamming of communications. So things like line of sight laser or close in comm systems maybe the only functional at all times. Meaning an MPF would be easier to contact than air support.
    17
  2222. We use a very similar six round grenade launcher at the prison I work at. We of course only use less lethal and impact munitions.
    17
  2223. Task i have a question. Based on SKs and UKrs, "intel" before the rounds were even shipped to RU from NK. How can we prove that 50% number? Is there any russian or N.K counter claims on effectiveness? I feel like if it was a coinflip on a jam or explosion on the system no one would use the artillery. People dont even pick up spare ammo from enemys on the off chance a single round is sabotaged.

  2229. Is the 6.8 caliber considered a battle rifle cartridge or an assault rifle cartridge? It seems a bit big to be considered an assault rifle.
    16
  2230. Couple of things. It'd have been nice to let you play around with a sling to see if you could find a comfortable way to address some of the weight and distribution of it. Finally, get some more gym time! Doing back stroke up a garden hose won't help heft that monster rifle. Love the content, great work with getting this info, you're doing amazing stuff.

  2236. 9:45 Chris, You did a good job serving the information, sometimes when new extremely innovative and beneficial changes to technology are shared to people, fools can doubt an idea out of their stupidity and thus influence the course of the effect of the new technology, but you gave sound knowledge as to why this ammo is extremely beneficial in two very noticeable ways (lightness of ammo & significantly reduced temperature transference to the weapons system (there also being other perceived benefits that may be a reality as far as production and other things)), (the gun is good too). But anyway I made this comment to say that you did a good job at sharing beneficial ideas, making it hard to doubt its worthy benefits.
    16
  2237. The image of the engaged couple with the MG68 absolutely got me.
    16
  2238. I like the analysis but I think that there were several flaws or at least caveats with it. We are presuming that the f18 fighter jets would enable air superiority. That's an unknown. China has been investing heavily in anti air defense so how it would play out is unknown. There is an assumption that the f35 can evade the Chinese air defense, once again that is an unknown. There is an assumption that since we got to witness the Chinese setting up for a mock attack that we now know more or less how they would deploy. This is outright flawed. Especially for long range missiles. They set up where they did because they WANTED to be seen, a show of force. In an actual conflict it would be the exact opposite. They would not want to be seen and vulnerable. So it's highly unlikely they would deploy out in the open in large formation like they did this time.
    16
  2239. Your reporting on Haiti is some of the most comprehensive I’ve seen. I’m glad you are still keeping up to date to this almost unbelievable chaos that everyone is ignoring.

  2244. Great video! For all of us who didn’t, or couldn’t serve in the military, an episode explaining a new (but old) rifle cartridge, the 6.5 Creedmoor. I appreciate learning where or how it got its name. “Creedmoor”. Thanks again👍

  2245. Oh shit I didn't know that was the origin of the Spare Parts Army Tab Cappy! That's pretty cool. I was an IRR recall (11B) in '05 pulled in to back fill empty slots in an NG unit. Spent most of our time North of you in Hawija. Thanks for sharing man.

  2250.  @somerandommen  New versions of the QBZ-95 are still being produced alongside QBZ-191, and it's still available for export in both -95 and -97 versions. The replacement is expected to take around a decade. The Chinese actually have a tendency to replace their primary rifle every 20 years or so. This is kinda obvious if you look at the Type numbers. From 56 to 81 is 25 years. From 81 to 95 is 14 years, and from 95 to 191 is 24 years. Right now only the PLA and (strangely enough) Rocket Force are actually doing the conversion. The PLAAF, PLAN, and PLAMC are still slinging newer production -95s with Pic rails and shortened barrels. Similarly, the PAP don't seem to be in a hurry to switch. I imagine for these services who expect to always fight under armor or in tight spaces the QBZ-95 is still the better option.

  2256. I thought of "Pentagon Wars" as soon as this video stated this was the third attempt to replace the Bradley. I am not a fan of the 50mm. It may sound great but rate of fire, turret slew rate, ammo storage etc. 40mm is a good size for support fire and anti-aircraft fire....OK Sgt. York programme should the 37mm was probably better.... It seems that this vehicle i to be an IFV but does it really need to be sized for taking out tanks or pretend to be a light tank, all of which lead to the Bradley fiasco.

  2261. Cappy, thank you for giving us an idea with an infantryman's eye on what's going on there. Perun has the military supply knowledge, Jake Broe has another way of thinking about it but the 3 of you are brilliant. Average infantryman, well above average military youtuber Edit: grammar
    16
  2262. Hope you’re doing okay, Cappy.

    15
  2269. Well your trying to give analysis, but I don't think you grasp certain things, like for example you sit there like the rest of the world and you hear that the Russian soldiers have said that they were told it was a training exercise and you added that that might be Ukrainian propaganda. I haven't heard one person who gave analysis explain why Russian troops were being told that it was an exercise. Now let's see if this makes sense to you, over several months they were accumulating troops and vehicles, not to mention the countless number of logistics involved, now for several months you're going to have upwards of 140-150 thousand troops waiting and waiting, don't these troops have cell phones, don't they have mothers fathers Brothers sisters girlfriends. If you told them that they were going to go to war in Ukraine, first they would be broadcasting it all over the place, there goes your element of surprise and secondly it would give them a chance to talk amongst themselves and maybe dessert if they found out what the mission was. So in recap they were told that they were on a training exercise then once they were told to roll out and part way into Ukraine they were told what the mission was. End of conversation.

  2283. It's all about a "do it all" round and there's no such thing . This reminds me of some folks saying the M-14 & M1A are obsolete rifles until they need a rifle which will penetrate heavy brush , engage an enemy out to 1000 meters and have decent armor piercing capabilities . Weapons are mission specific and terrain specific . Good luck finding one  round or rifle that makes everybody feel all warm and fuzzy . Great video and Thanks . Lefty Cat

  2287. When you mentioned part 2 at the end of the vid I was going to look for it but realized you posted this today. I decided to subscribe, and I am waiting on part 2. Great content! I'd watched several videos of yours already and assumed you had several hundred thousand subs rather than 40K (which is not small but you deserve more). Read More

    15
  2291. Fantastic timing also. Last night I watched “The FBI Files S6E3”. They showed an SVD scope and then later showed and AK with what looked like dragunov parts. The narrator said it was a Norinco rifle. True to your video, a gang was using this rifle. Now I know a lot more about that company.

  2298. Good work. I'd been surprised that he stopped 120km away, as I had accepted the oft-repeated figure of 25k troops and thought they had brought more tanks than you stated. Figured that perhaps 1k military police and FSB types would not be able to withstand all that in Moscow. But 5k and very few tanks causes the stop to be far more plausible. The one thing you did not discuss was the claims that while in Voronezh, Wagner trucks rolled into the Voronezh-45 compound and lifted some tactical nuclear weapons. That has been to my mind why Prigo is still breathing. Possibly to be used from Belarus so that vlad can claim deniability.

  2300. An excellent critique. As well as taking elements from the T95 program, it also took elements from the Black Eagle program. The Russian Design and Development process is very different from the Wests. There is a YouTube video "The Engines That Came In From The Cold" which explains it. The Military acceptance process is on top of that. Thanks for the video.

  2304. Just finished, have to say this was my favorite of your videos having watched all the ones on Russia’s war. I will say, you’ve had a bit too much of a contrarian stance as it relates to the media. You also often characterize the media just off of the headlines, all the articles I read have loads of qualifications and skepticism towards the idea Russia is pulling back. Yes, it’s hazardous to form opinions off of headlines, but I think the media has done a good job showing where Russia has done well and where they haven’t, it seems you were less accurate in the previous videos about Russia’s performance. I think everything you had to say was useful, that’s why I’ve watched all of them, but I think a bit more humility in the presentation would be apt. Hope you keep making these, just wish a bit more due diligence in handling of western media sources. I thought you improved compared to the other videos, still felt prompted to share my observation.
    14
  2305. Hey Cappy, i appreciate your neutrality and info digging, so i have a request: so can you do a video about the Donbass conflict in depth? (although i know it's not the purpose of this channel, but since we are in the subject anyways...) Because Youtube search is shit and it's kinda hard to dig info. I found a channel full of small videos about it called "D Tv 415" but still very little info verifiable or in depth. Also, about the mines video, some say it were ukrainian troops that put them so that's why they were confident about kicking them but that's just speculation.
    14

  2310. Okay a few points about the General Dynamics entrants. First the ammo was developed by True Velocity and has a steel base just like the Sig Sauer version does. They can get away with a polymer for the rest of it because they use a 20 inch barrel. That means that they can use less powder to result in a higher velocity than the Sig Sauers 13 inch barrel(2850 fps Sig Sauer, 3100 fps G.D.). Third they warrantee the suppressor for the lifetime of the barrel, pretty is as pretty does. Fourth is about the SAW replacement. They are essentially going back to the Grand and BAR combo of WWII, a better semi auto rifle plus a squad automatic rifle with a limited auto fire capability using the same ammo as the rifle. Currently what the Marines are doing with their HK 27 are doing just that. Add the Sig Sauer sight if the proposed General Dynamics sight is inferior.
    14
  2311. Thank you for your work

  2313. Without a active protection system a near pear enemy would knock it down with shoulder launched missiles esp the new visual identification guided missles being developed overseas. It also does not have enough armor like the hind to be able to fly that low safely. Stealth won't help much at short ranges vs heavy mg's. Needs more armor and maybe even a entirely armored cockpit with the f35 viewthru system. If they gave this some of the capabilities of the hind so it could assist in field resupply and fob resupply so it could pull double duty even using its remote operation to do resupply autonomously that would be huge. Not to mention casualty extractions. needs a in air refilling system that is autonomous so it can stay on station longer without fatiguing the pilots.

  2315. Homie why photoshop that mag on the weapon at 9:35 lmao
    14
  2316. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the German RCH 155. It's wheel-based on a Boxer chassis (but can be mounted on trucks), it has the awesome ability to deliver 155mm precision MRSI fire (with the same gun as the PzH2000) and can fire while on the move, has an unmanned fully automated turret and thus only requires a driver and a commander. And for an emergency, it's Hunter-Killer-capable to eliminate line-of-sight threats in direct fire. Germany is planning to equip three battalions of it's medium forces artillery with this beast.
    14
  2317. IIRC we need to provide immediate connectivity between drone pilot and the soldiers they're escorting. I've heard a lot of stories of drone operators here on shore being messed up because they couldn't warn them of an ied or ambush.

  2321. Excellent topic and very thoughtfully done Cappy. My experience was on the very front end of this, as I ETS'd in Oct. 2001 after 4 years as a topographic engineer (I made maps). My very last morning in the barrack was 9/11. Still had 3 years on my contract as "Individual Ready Reserve", but never got the call up. Lots of folks I went through AIT did though. Keep the good stuff coming!

  2324. As a Grunt I approve of this message. Also the answer to one simple question proves that the Infantry is the best. WHY IS THE SKY BLUE? Take care all my brethren even my Airforce ones lol. Note. I forgive people for joining the Navy and Airforce if they are Medics or Chaplains for they take care of our little cuts and bruises. Also Jarheads are OK well the Grunt Jarheads that is. And of course Navy seals are Ok there only problem is that they are a seal and not a Green Beret.

  2327. You came very close with that minefield, but you lucked out!
    14
  2328. Thanks for really doing your homework on this. The 74 is my favorite of the series and is one of the best general purpose service rifle of the last few decades. I've always felt that the Russian small arms program was a lot healthier than ours was, as they always adopted practical, sensible features vs the fanciest new thing out there like we did. One easter egg on the magazines: The bottom of every AK magazine, on the spine, has a small hole where you can see the back of a primer when the mag is fully loaded. This is useful not only to keep track of your ammo supply, but also for ammo accountability. You do not have to unload the magazine and risk losing a round to know there are exactly 30 rounds in it, plus due to the rock n' lock loading style you don't have to download to 28 or 29 to seat it easily on a closed bolt.

  2335. Task & Purpose needs to do a video on a military having actual war fighting experience vs just training and drills. Most notably the PLA last fought an actual war in 1979. Russia had experience in Georgia and Syria prior to Ukraine and they are struggling. I’ve been hearing a lot about NATO training Ukrainians for combat, but I get the feeling after the war ends Ukrainian veterans will be training NATO. Hopefully that includes NATO membership for Ukraine.
    14
  2336. I really don't see it replacing anything to be honest with you especially not with the surplus of 7.62mm that our military has, if anything it'll be used along side our current inventory, because the military is not just going to toss away all that 7.62mm ammo, they are going to continue using it mostly over the .338 until all that 7.62mm is gone and then they'll make the .338 the main ammo assuming that they like the actual battlefield results for both the ammo and weapon because you never know how a weapon will actually function on the battlefield until it's actually used on one. And knowing how the army/military goes about things by the time the .338 actually becomes standard issue and replaces everything the military will already be looking at new ammunition and weapon systems to replace the .338 and the weapon systems that utilize it. I'd also like to see the machine gun actually being utilized by soldiers carry full ammo belts and boxes like they normally do and seeing the gun loaded and fired with a full belt or box so that we can actually see how the soldiers are using it, how well and how they are reacting rather then seeing them running around with mostly used up belt with maybe 30 rounds in it and not carrying any ammo for the weapon at all. Because I highly doubt a soldier is going to be able to run around and carry a full load of .338 ammo.

  2351. The Textron's mechanic function looks like an "elevator" (vs a "revolver") if I interpreted its cutaway views correctly: The chamber is in the elevator, and the barrel is just a barrel like on a revolver. So you have an "elevator gap" (vs. a "cylinder gap"), a "forcing cone", .. To me, these would be huge differences to other systems - which should have been mentioned (instead of "Joe breaking things")
    13
  2352. Just a correction: most of those 7000 personnel do not serve on protective details at any particular time. Typically a special agent will only serve in the protective service for 3-5 years. While protection is the best known role of the Secret Service, the majority of their work is as the law enforcement arm of the US Treasury Department, investigating financial crimes like counterfeiting, bank fraud, etc., including officers and agents who work in foreign offices to protect the US currency and banking systems. The 7000 also includes administrative staff, and the fraction on protective service at any given time are also responsible for security of certain buildings such as the White House. That’s what “diverse” means in this context - that there are a lot of different jobs done by people from a wide range of areas of expertise, only a fraction of whom serve on protective details at any given time.

  2353. The Comanche was badass. P.S. 400k subs equal an additional Killstreak for CAS. Sorry Cappy. P.P.S. 1 Million subs will grant you access to "Fortunate Sons" blaring on the loudspeaker with your CAS.

  2361. depends on how many they introduce and what purpose they are used for. The humvee lives on as a utility vehicle the armored versions were a stopgap solution served their purpose now its time to replace them. The enemy is going to have the problems moving heavy armored vehicles in difficult terrain as well. As long as you have a balanced mix of vehicles you have the ability to operate in all environments This are specialized vehicles and will be issued to specialized units Im sure .for example the enemy cant set up an ambush if they dont know your coming its not like a highway in iraq where convoys are coming the same route every day that makes the sacrifice in protection feasible

  2373. I think infantry will be more like military personel who work as technicians to operate and maintain systems behind battlefield. They will still get training for fight but direct infantry combat will be performed mostly by specialized units with highly effective advanced equipment in small numbers. But the battlefield is going to be dominated by autonomous systems.

  2376. Spending money on high-value items is a better idea for France than spending it on armored vehicles and troops. Troops can quickly be generated. Armored vehicles can be generated relatively quickly, though their use is pretty limited on the modern battlefield given how many threats they're up against. Having infantry with powerful force multipliers is a much better combo. And of course, you can't quickly generate nuclear ballistic missile subs or aircraft carriers.

  2377. When is Cappy gonna play this WE NEED IT

  2378. Years ago I actually looked into getting one an M-14. The cartridge it used was one of the best sniper rifle rounds. Wish I had gotten it back then. It might be illegal to own one in New York State today.
    13
  2379. I love the m14 and love its older brother the m1 garand more I recently bought an m1 garand something I've wanted ever since I heard about it when playing COD 3

  2380. So now we not only have Forbidden Tuna and Forbidden Cheese, but also Forbidden Wi-Fi Router.
    13
  2381. I went to this school back in 2018. It was dope.
    13
  2382. As an infantryman I’m not looking forward to this at all. Probably cost 30k+
    13
  2383. Just for context PWC had revenues of around 16 billion in 2022. 75 mil does not seem like much of a deterrent.

  2385. I've never heard of the "two dogs f***ing" term up until today... Only knew it as thumb-on-thumb...
    13
  2386. I am always impressed that you can just learn AND meet the people who make what you talk about. That’s something you can’t find anywhere else on YouTube!
    13
  2387.  @Taskandpurpose  Drill Sergeant Peterson would be fun.
    13
  2388. Thank you for a great video. I think it's brilliant that you are getting collaborators to add more diverse insights on subjects. Your channel is achieving a level above all others because of this. However as to the Warrior I believe the UK must be cautious not to glorify it to the point (because of its past performance) that they continue to use it beyond its obsolescence. One of many examples of this is the Japanese with the Zero fighter in WW2. Keep up the good work.
    13
  2389. Great content Cappy, with great humour, perfect!!
    13
  2390. Excellent as always. I found you with gun reviews, but since the war in Ukraine started, I'm always checking your channel for a knowledgeable take on it. Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for what you do. 🍻
    13
  2391. I love and support ur channel good work
    13
  2392. Okie dokie thanks
    13
  2393. It needs firing ports. Also needs a larger turret. Heavier armor. Must fit fewer troops, hold more ammo. Let’s just make it amphibious while we’re at it. Have it done Monday. Good talk, I’m off to play 18 holes with the Senator.
    13
  2394. They changed Cappy's favorite muffin. Now he is in a fullscale multi domain war with them.
    13
  2395. As a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer (served in Vietnam eons ago!), I'm all for this Force Design 2030 transformation! We don't need a "Second Army" but a force that suits what the Marines are all about! Force Design 2030 is the kick-start we need.
    12
  2396. Needs that new and improved ETC cannon or coilgun. Whichever.
    12
  2397. That new AMP round is pointless to me. I see the appeal but finicky doesn’t usually do well on the battlefield. Realistically you only need 2 types of rounds in a tank. Sabot and MPAT, everything else is just for frills. Maybe have 2 or 3 OR rounds just in case you get to have some fun that day. CAN is useless unless you’re fighting the Chinese in the Korean War.
    12
  2398. Yes! I was waiting for a video about this.
    12
  2399. The airforce tie and shirt tho lol
    12
  2400. Time for an UPGRADE!! Stick with SIG their gonna pick it anyways toss a few over and test em' out this wk in AFGHANISTAN!! TIME for some GET BACK!!
    12
  2401. Latin is most certainly not the root of ALL languages. Not even close. Not even in Europe, let alone far East.
    12
  2402. Your “six hour briefing” comment had me dying! I’ve had to sit through too many of those.
    12
  2403. Look up .280 British on Wikipedia to get a history lesson on "intermediate" cartridges culminating in the narrow, anti-British partisanship of Colonel Renée Studler, head of the US Small Arms Bureau of Ordnance, who, in the early 1950s (that's almost seventy years ago) rejected the .280 (7.1mm) round for being "foreign". Yay! The USA has finally wised up to the excellence of "intermediate" cartridges. I vote Sig Sauer (not 'cos it's German owned, it seems the best fit).
    12
  2404. I’m betting on the Sig. considering how the Army works and selects new weapons the Sig being a traditional setup without electronics it’s most likely to be adopted
    12
  2405. You welcome no need to thank me
    12
  2406. Ok so I'm not insulting, you more pointing out something to take into account, from your video I'm watching, you take alot of recoil, its moving you back almost, I dont think this is poor handling on your part, I'm thinking it's the fact the your underweight for your frame to properly control the recoil from a rifle, not that you cant it just may be far harder because, you lack enough muscle mass in the right places to handle the bounce back from that position, again not an insult dont have to be a built dude or woman to fire a gun, but it does help manage recoil, which in the long run would come out on the flavor of the rifle or firearm
    12
  2407. Ayup mate. Just to add a bit to your video. Unfortunately whatever one does to the SA80 ultimately you can’t polish a turd! I used the A1 (absolute shite) and the A2 marginally better but still extremely flawed. Ergonomically it’s the equivalent of trying to to drive a car with the gear lever in the back while your in the front. The safety catch and the change lever and the bolt release are in the wrong place, it’s heavy and uncomfortable to carry and it feels like it could fall to pieces if drop it. Also (and the technique used to remedy this flaw is unworkable in a real situation) you can’t fire it left handed unless you want to lose your front teeth! I personally hated it but like you said many like it (mainly in the British Army) I was in the Marines and we hated it and were constantly told to be quiet and stop morning about it. Used anywhere other than the range it just wasn’t up to the job. And bearing in mind it was the main tool for the job in mine and many of my mates opinion it was as much use as a Chocolate tea pot! The most annoying thing was that people who didn’t have to use it for anything other than the annual combat marksmanship test would say how great and accurate it was. Due to the fact that it also was slightly and I mean slightly more reliable in tests than the M4 they would cling to this fact and say it was better. I return to my original point you can cover a turd in glitter and gold but it’s still a turd! Thank god I used the C8 for many years. (Canadian version of the M4) cheers bud keep making the vids👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
    12
  2408. Agree
    12
  2409.  @Taskandpurpose  Yeah, and we all love the channel for that reason. But you offer analysis and opinon. I've alwaus appreciated how you are always clear when you're stating a fact, and back it up with your sources. And when you are offering additional analysis or citing someone else's that adds context, historical, economic,, diplomatic, and potential future considerations. And most importantly, when you move from facts and evidence based analysis, into personal opinion, you make that just as clear. The topics you cover, like national military spending, international conflicts, US-China relations. war, and anything involving Israel or Ukraine, seem to attract content creators who have no scruples citing absurd unverified claims as facts, and disguising their opinions, or opinions of those they agree with, as facts. While at the same time, when someone holds an opinion they disagree with, they claim they aren't just holding a belief different than their own, they're lying, and acting in bad faith. Always great knowing when I put on one of your videos, it's going to clear, concise, educational, and I won't have to screen for propaganda and lies. Keep up the great work.
    12
  2410. I think 2 things can be true at the same time. Iran telegraphed and warned US regional partners about an impending attack. While the Iranians also used their strike package to probe Israeli air defenses and even managed to hit the Israeli air-base.The Israeli air defenses were extremely effective, but its unsustainable in a protracted campaign.
    12
  2411. prior corpsman here- i dearly hope we can get good training in the new school in Texas. The baby docs i trained that came outta there didn't know squat unfortunately
    12
  2412. A difficult topic Thanks for this content keep it up
    12
  2413. Mate I hate to be that one person but please do your research on 3:33. The British Short SC.1 made its first flight on April 2nd 1957 and its fly-by-wire control system was an integral part of it. I have massive respect and please don't take it the wrong way, I'm just pointing it out to let you know. Keep it up👍
    12
  2414. Could you link me the document that talked about the weapon systems and tactics of the Japanese army in world War II? It looked interesting and I kind of want to read it myself
    12
  2415. 4:10 seeing 30th AG gives me nightmares, worst part of osut
    12
  2416. I’m glad you got some sponsorship. Getting that caaaash.
    12
  2417. Great video! As a Haitian American, I appreciate your succent review of the situation in Haiti.
    12
  2418. Love the video Cappy. Rounds fired at the like and subscribe already. Will you do a deep dive about the Ukraine crisis someday as I would love to hear your take on it. Cheers and have a nice day.
    12
  2419. Thank you to this man and all the men and women who've stood when America called. Welcome to 2020!
    12
  2420. What a great video man. Really well researched and insightful. You don't hear a lot of Westerners talking knowledgeably about Lebanon. Excellent work.
    12
  2421. I agree with your last statement. All other arguments are invalid.
    12
  2422. Cappy could you do a analysis of the INSAS assault rifle and its replacement the AK-203.
    12
  2423. You guys are all wrong lol, everyone knows you need two primary’s, two pistols, a machete, 2 nades and two tac nades…. Just saying if were gunna make this call pf duty out here 🤙🤙🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅😈😈😈😈😈😈👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😝😝😝😝🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
    12
  2424. It should be pointed out that historical reason for Finland neutrality was strategical. When border of Russia was in the middle of Germany, if Soviet Union would attack Finland, it would be extremally difficult to defend they country. It is why they invest heavily in diplomacy in order to defuse tensions with USSR, so they would move attention to West Europe. When at the same time Finland obviously was NATO ally. After fall of USSR they start openly training with NATO, especially as over time border moved to Baltic States and Poland. Making joint military operations a valid tactic. But Russia at the time was not considered as a threat so they didn't join NATO as part of mutual understanding. Rusian invasion on Ukraine was seen as breach of confidence and lead to predictable joining NATO by Finland and Sweden, what was also outside NATO as staging point for "little blue man" operations.
    12
  2425. Guh , awesome video tho ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥 OORAH !
    12
  2426. As a soldier who never deployed to Afghanistan, I don't even have the words to describe the pain those that did feel. All of the bloodshed for this.. How did this happen?
    12
  2427. Damn, you nailed this report!
    12
  2428. Thanks for this Cappy, everything about this situation is heartbreaking. It just seems like this is an impossible situation.
    12
  2429. Outstanding video. I just got home yesterday from the Embassy in Kabul. The evacuation was a train wreck. The administration and Secretary of State is lying about almost everything. They did few things right.
    12
  2430. TOW GOAT gun ?
    12
  2431. Wanna bet that the sniper rifle was available for sale in large numbers simply because it is a recognizable gun from video games so stock is high? Could this be the first time a video game has had a noticeable yet miniscule effect on a war? I wonder what that procurement conversation was like? Give me the awp?
    12
  2432. Hey Cappy! Iranian follower here I was wondering if you would do a dive into the Iranian drones Russia has bought ( so far mohajer 6 and shahed 136 have been confirmed ) and wether they will make a real difference or not The information on Iranian drones is always biased with the regime overblowing their capabilities and majority of Western media undermining them Your takes are well researched and very much unbiased and I think it's interesting seeing your take on the matter
    12
  2433. Thanks Chris! Nice, clear presentation, and a topic I knew nothing about. What are your main sources?
    12
  2434. Hey! Chris, where do you see the modern infantry in the next decade? what type of gear do you expect them to carry around? I personally think exoskeletons will play a big-time if provided better maneuverability and longer-lasting power sources.
    12
  2435. CIA plant

  2436. gang gang! Ice cream so good! RPG on the left side! Woo got me riding like a cowgirl!

  2437. Cappu makeing us act up with these new sexy rifles
    12
  2438. You should make a video about the war in Ethiopia between the federal government and an Ethnic militia named FANO.
    12
  2439. Stupid squad weapon. Vehicle mounting yes, but that's all. You like it, you carry it.
    12
  2440. My uncle is in air defence and this is what he's like, lol spot on buddy
    12
  2441. Sick ww1 poster also suspeded when school found out it was me carving Kilroy was here in walls😂
    12
  2442. Probably vastly over rated like most Russian equipment. Even the armour / reactive armour argument is weak. Most decent hits will either render the vehicle immobile by damaging tracks/wheel or do sufficient damage to wreck sensors etc so seriously degrading the vehicle operation. If production numbers remain low, then the vehicle isn't a major threat.
    12
  2443. Can we Kickstarter "Alt Air: Con Air 2" starring Chris Cappy? I heard Cage finally paid his debts off so maybe an EP credit.
    12
  2444. Love your vids keep up the great work
    12
  2445. "Barney style" 😂 love it! Great books!
    12
  2446. The Danish army use them
    12
  2447. I ❤️ skunks! 😉👍 BTW LM has a history of actually LOWERING unit costs as economies of scale occur. Kelly Johnson and LM developed the WWII P-38 Lightning which was incredibly effective against the Japanese Zeros and Oscars.
    12
  2448. I drove for nine hours today and the entire time I was hoping a new Task and Purpose episode would drop, but alas it never did while I was on the road. Get home, pour a drink, sit down at the laptop and BAM. THERE IT IS. 30 minutes, on the STRYKER, your WHEELS BRO. It's been worth the wait and I congratulate you on the upward trajectory of your channel. Keep up the great work.
    12
  2449. 'Murked'. Cappy you never disappoint.
    12
  2450. You were predicting Kiev would fall in about a month like 2 weeks ago. So I'm glad to see you have the ability to adapt.
    11
  2451. Glad I could help in some small way brother. And I’m glad you were able to capture what you did in your time there. 🫡
    11
  2452. I would not be so optimistic on your place. This situation on the map looks very "german" Germans did almost the same with the french and british army. First they made it look like the main target of the operation was to go over Belgium but then a real force came from the Arden Forest. Only after the end of this war we maybe get a full explanation about all operations.
    11
  2453. I think you make an excellent point in saying we must pay more attention to the weight carried by the soldiers. However I cant agree that working to save the lives of soldiers with better protective gear is a bad idea. We just need weight as a higher priority
    11
  2454. I can only imagine having to carry those massive mgs during patrol everyday. Are they enough effective to justify the sacrifice of the poor man assigned to carry it?
    11
  2455. Only found you recently Cappy. Love your insights and access to the next gen stuff. Great out-tro today 😂😂
    11
  2456. important point to be made (from perun's video): the missiles that were launched at israel were likely new ones and NOT "old from storage" this indicates that iran's ballistic missile arsenal is not what they claim it to be, not to mention that while they technically have thousands of ballistic missiles, allot of them (as we saw in the attack) might not be properly stored or ready to use and others are not even able to reach israel by default.
    11
  2457. "I don't think I could pull off a coup." As of today Chris has yet to successfully pull off a coup, this leads to the belief that it is not the training at Ft. Benning that allows someone to pull a successful coup, but something else entirely. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
    11
  2458. The beginnings sound a bit like the story of Portal's aperture science
    11
  2459. 1) Neither FARA contender is intended to replace the Apache. 2) Comanche wasn't cancelled because it was underpowered (far from it) nor it's canon being innacurate (wildly off the mark there (that's irony there). 3) Yes, a SGM will salute WO1. And a CW5 will salute a 2LT. Sometimes. I enjoy your vids. Stick to talking about guns.
    11
  2460. Dude, please stop using AI videos. Relevant still images are fine to support what you're describing and AI footage is immediately abrasive.
    11
  2461. RVN, 1st CAV 71-72. I was the guy that would call in all air and arty support on our base at Long Than. I thought I knew what was going on in the war. I didn't learn until I returned home. I didn't know, when there, that the battle of An Loc was about to happen, until they asked for volunteers to crew. I had never fired a weapon from a Huey before then. None of us really knew what any unit was doing, or how they were doing. Especially if they were more than 20-25 miles away. ;-) The Stars and Stripes surely were not telling us anything useful. So many units were standing down and going home. We had 'Yard tribesman with bows and machetes manning our berm. They, of course had their families living in their bunker assignments. LOL
    11
  2462. Ill take a pair of pants.
    11
  2463. Excellent research and coverage of the topic.
    11
  2464. Thanks so much man for all your videos and your service keep up the good work!

  2465. 😂😂 Curios to know how many fingers actually where lost on the making of this video
    11
  2466. Did he hear about the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise? 😏
    11
  2467. That's true, but if biden just GIVES the taliban the weapons AGAIN, then ya know.....
    11
  2468.  @rohanahern5053  it's an ugly gun
    11
  2469. So good I watched it twice. I really enjoyed this video man. Can’t wait for the next one! I hope you are allowed to make a video about my favorite plane (our newest stealth bomber) someday. Thank for your service also.

  2472. 7:16 well thats not so much because the vehicle itself, but has more to do with the fact that our army doesnt stock up on spares (beurocrats somehwo messed that up im defenetifly not an expert) and it takes like ages for the new parts to arrive so they have to scavenge spare parts frome some pumas to keep at least a small number running
    11
  2473. I like the pros and cons in this video. in all honesty the Puma is Doing Good. all it needs is money and Time. Also the atgm System is a lot more cool and complex. The ATGM Is a mix of a PARS atgm ( its a fire and forget atgm ) And a javelin. ( top down Fire ) Also with that fire and forgot System it also has a TV guided mode.
    11
  2474. I've dreamed about that 30-45 degree angled foregrip when I was a machine gunner (later AG). Doubt even that would have helped me firing 240L from a shoulder though
    11
  2475. Hi
    11
  2476. Commenting here so maybe you'll see it. You said the launcher uses a 100M watts of energy. Watts are a unit of power not energy. The unit you're looking for is probably watt-hours.
    11
  2477. Three thumbs up.
    11
  2478. Omfg are you kidding me? It’s not an “ASAULT WEAPON!” It’s a modern sporting rifle what’s wrong with you? (Totally joking btw I heard you say we would grill you in the comments so I wanted to do just that lol) R

    11
  2483. I've always liked your content, but lately you've stepped it up to a new level. Really great comprehensive videos, man. I'm still laughing, but I'm learning a lot more here than before. Well done.
    11
  2484. A good video, perhaps overly credulous of US strategy. It seems like the US is checked out and sending far too little to Ukraine
    11

  2490. You may want to revisit your statements about payloads. The old bomber has a payload of 40,000 pounds and the new one has a payload of 30,000 pounds.

  2500. ​ @Taskandpurpose honestly when it comes to international diplomacy and the economy in general, even experts have little more luck than novices at figuring out what's going to happen next. People be complicated: quantum mechanics is easy compared to psychology and sociology at predictable outcomes, and there's only ever a dozen people alive on earth at a time who actually understand quantum mechanics, everyone else in QM is faking it.
    11
  2501. My country bought +/- 350 cv90-35 about 10 years ago. After the software was fixed (took a couple of years) they turned out to be outstanding, might be an option for the British to.

  2502. I was a Combat Engineer in the 80's. It was a hard MOS. Concertina, bridges, etc. . Building them was exhausting work,

  2514. ​ @sprinkle61  those environmental rules are here for a reason. E.g., Switzerland has dumped surplus ammo after WW1 in it's lakes, and decades later, it was a pain and much more expensive to clean the mess up.

  2516. I’d like to see a much lighter tank that could actually swim without hours of protection preparation. Also did the turbine engine really make so much difference other than it’s increased fuel consumption? Why not go back to a piston drive lower maintenance type motor?
    11
  2517. I don't think the comparison between Dnipro which is in Kherson and Bahmutka which is in Bakhmut is valid. Dnipro is about 1 km wide there, and building a pontoon bridge over it presents a significant challenge. Bakmutka is a small river that is at most 30-60 meters wide and something like 3 meters deep. Yes, it still a natural barrier and a bottleneck but not to the extent Dnipro was.

  2526. Again. The Army and their obsession to create a platform that can fill EVERY role. Are they expecting the rifle to also be a parachute and a anti-tank weapon?

  2527. I'm surprised to see that the comments section is not full of people debunking the "traditional" understanding of that Benjamin Franklin quote. Long story short, what he was saying in that letter is that liberty is security, and security is liberty, and so to give up one depletes the other.

  2529. This is a superb step in the right direction. ✌️ 1. Rifles from the Rolex of rifle makers 2. New gen ammo 3. A caliber that has a better punch than the 5.56, but more manageable than a 7.62. Eventually will require you to shoot lesser number of ammo to neutralize an enemy operative compared to 5.56 4. Wonderful potential to use cutting-edge optics.
    10
  2530. I'm not one to diss something just because it's new, but this looks pretty awful. Let's break it down, starting with the good stuff. Plastic ammo, fine. There's no reason it can't work, and it can probably be made to work well. I've worked with enough high strength polymers to have a real respect for what they can do, and I think there's real potential here. As far as the layout and controls, making everything ambi is fine. Changing the manual of arms isn't a huge issue either, and though that layout doesn't look particularly ergonomic, it's not as awkward as some of the other bullpup designs out there. The bullpup design allows for a longer barrel in a rifle of the same or shorter length than a traditional rifle configuration, and the short recoil operating system will run cooler and cleaner than a direct gas impingement system. And yeah, the suppressor looks like a potato, but honestly it's past time when we started making those things standard issue. They're just too damn useful. Now for literally everything else, starting with the operating system. Short recoil operating systems have been around for ages, and they can be extremely reliable. As mentioned, they don't tend to heat up as quickly as a gas system, and they run cleaner, too. The downside is lots and lots of reciprocating mass. A lot of what we feel as the recoil impulse when a gun is fired comes down to the parts that move backwards to cycle the weapon. On pistols, it's usually the slide. On rifles, the bolt, or in this case, the bolt and barrel. On a platform like the Ma Deuce, which has the dual virtues of firing a massive bullet with lots of energy, and being mounted to a tripod, pintle, or other hardpoint, this isn't an issue. There's enough excess energy in the system to keep it moving reliably come hell or high water, assuming you've set your headspace and timing correctly. And since it's mounted, the reciprocating mass isn't going to hugely affect the point of aim for followup shots. This thing, on the other hand, looks like a handful, even on semiautomatic fire. You're already firing a spicy round compared to the AR/M4 platform, and the last thing you need is having a couple of pounds of steel jostling the weapon. Despite that, if the ejection pattern is anything to go by, this sucker's on the struggle bus just to cycle reliably. I guess you can't call it undergassed if it's a short recoil system, but that's effectively what it looks like. It might run cleaner than a DI gun, but when it does get dirty, there's not enough surplus energy to power through. That's going to lead to reliability issues as soon as you get it out in the field. Then there's the whole bullpup thing. There's a reason hardly anyone uses the damn things, despite prognosticators declaring them the way of the future every couple of decades. For all the theoretical advantages, they're just not as good as a traditional rifle layout. Reloads are awkward, which can be trained around, but that only goes so far. I've heard the economy of motion arguments, but I don't buy them, especially not with modern body armor. You pretty much have to take the thing off your shoulder to get the magazine well out of the way of the armor and any pouches you may have in the region. Then there's the trigger, which is a twofold problem. The linkages themselves are more prone to breaking, which is another ding in the reliability department, but you also have to consider things like pull, break, and feel. They tend to be much heavier, much less crisp, and less predictable. That's not a huge issue at short ranges, but the whole point of the 6.8 is to increase the effective range of the average soldier over the M4 platform. The further out you go, the more important having a good trigger becomes if you want to land accurate, reliable shots. This is only scratching the surface, but honestly, I've ranted long enough. This thing looks like the M14 all over again, and I mean that in the worst, most historically accurate way possible.

  2538. Problem isn't cookoffs. Problem is the environmentals. Military ammo has to be able to sit in storage at sub zero or 120 degrees for months and still work. Plastics don't like that. It has to be able to sit in the sun with the UV exposure for months and still work. Plastics don't like that. It has to be able to sit in 96% humidity for months and still work. Plastics don't like that. They absorb water and water and gunpowder don't play well together. That combined with a firearm that looks like an advertisement for jams that would take several minutes to clear make this DOA. So hope they don't fall for this. They killed a bunch of our men before with this "you don't have to clean it" lie.

  2553. You actually missed the point. Macron politics has nothing with De Gaulle ideology. He's even opposed to it !! As a French i'll explain it to you. In France, every one is against Macron's threats to Putin and his public speeches. Actually, Macron lost a lot of credibility du to his internal politics and the country economical poor management. To a point where, he's creating an external enemy so he can reanforce his leadership in intern. Also, with the coming of European elections, he needs to show himself strong so his party can get elected. This is why he's doing thoses cheaty declarations. On the other point, his beaf with Putin in reality is du to Africa. Actually, France lost a lot of strategic countries in Africa because of Russia. And he even tried last year to bargain an egal shares with putin but he rejected and told him to go see the africans leaders if he want to do so. So he's trying to fight him in another front !

  2561. Great assessment, I thought your synopsis at the very end, stating that the PL strategy is to hold off and tie down RUS advances until NATO forces arrives captures so well a lot of the strategic role of PL. I did think that you downplayed the role of the EU, especially given its role in economic and political restructuring and reform, and which way beyond continuing direct assistance in infrastructure, municipal, and agriculture budgets, has allowed and promoted huge investment of EU country firms in the country, as well as trade of people and goods across markets. The EU economic driver, along with a sensible welfare and tax policy, has allowed the country to prosper, and thus more properly rearm, a great thing. The borderline-extreme, right-wing tendencies in the latest governments have indeed reduced civil liberties, judicial independence and media freedom in PL, but I agree with you generally that it is quite a stretch to say that the TDF's purpose is to bring some type of dictatorship. On UKR refugees, even though over 3 million went to PL, a large amount of these headed to GER (over 700k), CZ (c.330k), and other countries, and some have returned to UKR, so the proportion is probably around 40-50%, and the absolute number probably closer to 2mill--still a very, very large number, and one to admire for the kindness and humanity of the PL people. (To put in perspective, it would be the equivalent to the US receiving over 16 million refugees!). Again, awesome work on your end! Very informative! Thanks!

  2570. Nice video! From Dec 2000- Dec 2001, the Bradillac was my chariot. Lots of memories...more good than bad. The only real complaint I had was that our stock A2 models still had six individual seats in the back even though the Army had restructured Mech platoons to have three normal size squads. So, not only did the seating layout make it a pain for the dismounts to get in and out, but also, how do you split up three, nine man squads amongst four vehicles with six seats? Fortunately, the platoon was never at full strength. 2/C/1-41 Infantry "Straight and Stalwart"

  2573. Hey Kappy, (1/116th 29th INF 2005-11) You should check out the lessons learned by Russian infantry in the Syrian War. They created light mechanized infantry units using a lot of "Technicals" which I think was a great idea for a spread out, desert country that has decent road infrastructure in most places and a QRF team responding to an IED strike 50 miles from their base is just one example where this type of unit can be unitized.

  2597. One thing I'd be careful with is this: Psyops in terms of fake transmissions. By now Putin and his military is well aware of what they world is saying about how things are going. And it doesn't take a genius to think these transmissions starting to pop up in the last 2 or so days might be them playing on it to regain some elements of surprise (feigning incompetence before reversing it in the next major offensive). Not saying it is the case but unencrypted military transmissions sent in the clear sounds too good to be true.
    9
  2598. Dude, you really dont know anything about what happening there, do you? The reason they cant move directly forward from Donbas is because the majority of the Ukrainian military is there and has been there since 2014, which is when the war actually began. Those are the best equipped and experienced units. The move from the south, after Mariupol and from the north after Kharkiv, will be to encircle them. Or option B - Lay siege on Kiev to force them to move to Kiev in support, at which point they will be forced to leave their positions, split and be more vulnerable to strikes, which will further disorganize the Ukrainian forces. Any actual advance into Kiev by Russians is unlikely to happen. Wouldnt really make sense. The convoy, if actually true to the scale suggested (which I doubt is accurate) might actually be the gamble Russians make to force the UA positions to move to Kiev. As for looting and such, Ukrainians do plenty of that themselves. Its an inevitable part of any conflict. Some mayors of cities most affected by it have issued a "shoot to kill" order for looters. Especially since authorities handed out tens of thousands of guns to everyone who wanted one. Its very likely Russians will up the airforce use. The initial phase was kind of shock and awe with cruise missile strikes. They expected that to be enough, but it wasnt. Unfortunately many Ukrainian units, especially the nationalist battalions, are deliberately using civilian areas for cover, often to the outrage of locals. As for the destroyed equipment. Its common practice to abandon vehicles if they break down or are disabled by fire. Hence the large number of them, often without a scratch, but with no bodies in sight. There are two sides to every story, you will never get the full picture if you sick to just one. As fucked up as this is, again, why it ok for America to invade and bomb but not for anyone else? Are we just jealous they are cutting in on our hobby or what? This situation is pretty much an exact remake of Serbia - Kosovo. What did we do there? We bombed Serbia to "bring the Serbs to peace" over their continued war in Kosovo. Remember? Exact same thing now - Russia goes into Ukraine over the Donbas conflict that has lasted 8 years. Not to mention shit like Iraq, which was a war for nothing build on a fabrication that no one got punished for. As much as we like to pretend, we are not always the good guys. In fact, we rarely are. No one mentions the OSCE reports of continued shelling of Donbas by the Ukrainian forces since 2014, no one mentions the 1 million Ukrainian refugees that fled to Russia from their own army and their own government that decided they are "terrorists" for disagreeing with the government. Its sad that the media and most people around the world pick and choose facts that suit their preferred narrative. Meanwhile 13,000 civilians have been killed in Donbas by Ukrainian attacks over the last 8 years. And did anyone say a word about it? No... Just shows how much one really cares about the Ukrainian people. i.e. not at all.. What they do care about is weakening Russia. Now, while that is a good thing, for us anyway, it wont be successful. All it will do is push Russia and China closer together. Sucks.

  2599. Chris. I’d disagree with you thinking that a 9 man squad is the perfect size. Hear me out here. One of the biggest reasons they cited as to why they decreased the size of the squad was the fact that 12 people is harder to control by conscripted NCOs and replacement conscripts will find it easier to integrate with a smaller squad. However we haven’t had conscripts since 1973, 47 years ago. They also made the incorrect assumption they’ve always made that “weapons development will increase individual firepower and compensate for the lack of firepower in the squad.” Like when they took out the BAR when the M1 was adopted. And even if this is a correct assumption, those improvements are also true for the adversaries of the US, thus negating that advantage and presenting a new disadvantage of having less firepower and personnel in the squad level and making them more susceptible to attrition. Several discontinuities since 1949, 71 years ago, necessitates the rethinking of the legacy 9 man squad. The improvements in the accuracy of fires, targeting, and reconnaissance systems used by peer and near peer adversaries of the US necessitates in future engagements the use of the squad as the smallest primary unit for fire and maneuver instead of the platoon in the battle space. We might see the 12 man army rifle squad come back again bois. Another discontinuity is the increase growth of urbanization and how it will affect attrition of personnel. Engagements against a conventional adversary in urban terrain will incur higher attrition levels than what the US has faced in recent decades against insurgents or non-peer conventional forces.

  2603. Currently in the Army, the M110 is only given to battalion sniper sections. The M110a1 went to the line companies and battalion recon teams (different from sniper sections). The M110 is built to be a sniper rifle. The M110a1 is only a squad designated marksman rifle. Minute differences but the M110 is more precise than the a1 variant. So I see the M110 sticking around for a while longer.

  2618. Video request: Watching the Ukraine-Russia battlefield videos, I have questions. Drone footage often shows multiple targets hiding among the trees, or moving down a road, etc. You can't expect to destroy them all. What are the parameters for choosing targets? Tanks over IFVs over fuel carriers? And with a column of tanks, do you choose the second or third back as it more likely has the commander? Or is it not likely that there is a preference other than aiming for the one that is easiest to get good coordinates for? Obviously some has to do with what sort of explosive you can direct toward the enemy. But, you did a very good video supplying a status update on the conflict recently, so I am hoping you can shed some light on what goes into targeting choices. Today there was a POV shot from a sniper's scope scanning an advancing line of infantry. Which guy gets the first serving? [Fellow commenters, please give this some thumbs up to help it get in front of Chris' eyes. Thanks]

  2630. The polymer ammo available now on the civilian market seems to have a pretty poor accuracy. I also wonder about the accuracy of this bullpup rifle since the barrel reciprocates. How accurate will actually be at 800 yards?
    9
  2631. would it really be a loop-hole or is this a clever solution to a real problem? the part at 1:28 legitimately saves (innocent?) lives that "dumb" land mines would snuff out.

  2632. I have quite a bit of training on the M7 Spider system. I got to fiddle with them as a Combat Engineer squad leader in Germany. These things actually have adapters to put claymores on all 6 ports of the Munitions Control Unit. They also have munition adapter modules where we can set off any type of demo from then as well. It has the potential to be a defensive positions wet dream!

  2636. Nice gas mask. Does it have a picatinny rail? Is it modular?
    9
  2637. How much 'high-velocity shrapnel' has the energy (or less) of a 9mm round? That's not encouraging stopping power. How often did our guys get shot at by 9mm in Iraqistan?
    9
  2638. The war games always assumed comparative training and maintenance between the two forces. Something the war in Ukraine has proven isn't the case. The average Russian soldier we now know has less then 3months of training. We also know just how bad Russian corruption is as something like thirty percent of their equipment doesn't work because , every aspect of the military was stealing then selling parts and tools.

  2640. I thought this was an old video that I hadnt seen but it was uploaded 20 minutes ago wow. Great work as always
    9
  2641. Hmm, guess you and I have a different definition of "side piece".
    9
  2642. I had to cringe when you stated that the M-16 is a great weapon. Well I served from 82-92 and my feeling on the M-16A2 was that it is a POS. Failed often and jamed often no matter how clean I keep it. In my option the 1911 was and will forever be the best side arm ever built. Simple and always there for you.

  2646. Nope,big mistake.go around Africa. Currently there's an excess of shipping capacity. Very gew of these cargo vessels pay taxes in the countries that will provide the naval protection. The offset to going around Africa is cargo vessels pay a half to 1 million plus dollars to transit the Suez. Add trip time is generally 10-14 days longer trip. Don't feed the Big Shipping Companies.

  2663. Well, armor for armor, of course US/NATO systems are vastly superior--and, as you said Chris, it's about crews, training, tactics, etc. Long term, however, that countermeasure-in-depth concept (not unlike how we layer the way we fight in the air) will have to continue evolving to keep these monsters relevant. It matters because they still have enormous firepower/maneuver value in the right battlespace. LTG Crocker (big time Abn guy) once said, "We only really need tanks about once a generation, but when we need'em, boy, we really need'em." My knowledge is dated now, but I can tell you some specifics about tanks destroyed in Iraq in -'03-'05, discussions with the actual armor nerds at that time, and unclass info on the armor development, if you're interested. I can also say that tank crews were killing adversary tanks at 4km both in Desert Storm and OIF actual.
    9
  2664. I'm from Latvia. The East of Latvia is poor. Separatist ideas would have opposition there, but not due to economy. Also, wouldn't be surprised if about 15-20% of Latvian inhabitants would join the Russian army if they were to invade. Many wouldn't mind the Russian army being here. Most people I know wouldn't join the army to defend Latvia. The fact that Latvia failed to integrate Russians living there - will hurt Latvia, when it's attacked.

  2668. You must have been "a special unique baby boy". @11:18 Great episode.

  2669. Your journalism is extremely high quality. Every one of your videos on Ukraine are incredibly valuable. You have a lot to be proud of. And I'm happy to support you.
    9
  2670. Good video, any chance you could look at the potential of the URGI program vs. the NGSW program. Because I feel if the military made the URGI a wide implementation then we'd the potential end to the NGSW program because like you mentioned in the video, updates to a rifle are far cheaper than replacing the rifle altogether.
    9
  2671. You mentioned favouring Softkill APS over Hardkill APS because of it deflecting incoming projectiles. However I think youre missing an important point there, which is that deflected doesn't mean deactivated. They will still explode somewhere nearby. Not to mention that you cant jam or dazzle something like a BILL-2, Khrizantema or Spike-LR. Basicly anything that is operator guided on a wire or a dumb fire rocket like the RPG-7 can only be defended against effectively with hardkill system.
    9
  2672. You talk a lot about what it's like to be the Israeli soldier, but you should provide some commentary what it's like to be smaller army and what tactics they even have to counter a larger more technological advanced military to be a little more balanced. Better than most coverage though 🤙

  2673. Cappy...Outstanding for both your content and presentation on your channel! I'm hooked. It amazes me what is going on...considering I wore "fatigues" with black boots transitioning to the BDUs. I would've been a platoon leader you liked. My NCOs thought well of me (even though I didn't look old enough to have graduated high school let alone college).
    8
  2674. Steel ammo sounds great but on the fact that steel rusts faster than brass.... I think sense we are putting together new tech with polymer frames why not used polymer rounds that would only be used once anyway.... And polymer technology has gone a long way.

  2675. And based off the older patents they went with a design that was worse then what they tried before https://patents.google.com/patent/US20190049199A1/en

  2676. Hi Cappy, I was wondering if you would cover the fact that the United States has requested and to my knowledge been granted that Australia send in its battle ships to the Red Sea. My question is, given Britain and the United states have the Red Sea locked down tighter than a nuns ninnie. What is the purpose of requesting more support? Is it to vibe check allies in case there is a break out of a genuine war with Iran and Palestine and Yemen/houthis. To know who’s gonna be an ally in practice over who’s doing it on paper. Or is it just simply a case of America getting more countries involved so they can say to congress that there’s many countries that feel this way and they’re all carrying their share of the burden?
    8
  2677. Dude, concerning liquid body armor: Did you never try the preschool experiment, where you mix starch powder with just the right amount of water? It is liquid, and stays liquid, when you poke it in slow movement, but gets instantly rigid and rocksolid, when you poke it fast with your finger, I almost broke my finger ;-) Try it, it never ceases to amaze me!
    8
  2678. You only mentioned it in passing, but The ability to apply a tourniquet is very important and should be considered when developing this kind of armored suit. All armor fails and has weak spots. I can't apply an effective tourniquet on a casualty's leg if there's a metal frame in the way. I also have to be able to drag/carry that casualty to cover. Can I do that when he's encased in a full suit? Can I strip my casualty to assess further injuries? Apply a chest seal, pressure bandage, take vitals, administer fluids, etc. Or is this guy so encased in armor that it will cost someone their life because treating them will be so difficult? And then think about evac for them. Birds can only take a limited amount of weight, and this armor looks like it weighs as much as another person. A simple vest can go on a bird with the casualty, but I suspect a full exosuit can't. That means the guys staying behind will have to take it, and that'd be another huge hindrance to the mission.

  2679. Hell I'd run a fleshlight on the end of the third arm contraption. Maybe a cup holder with a Ripit in there??!!

  2700. Went out to redbox and rented TLFM right after seeing this vid. Great recommendation! I think you should add a good military movie recommendation to the end of your vids every once in awhile!
    8
  2701. I'm totally confused because you are talking about the 6.8 51 cardrige which is a replacement for the 7.62 51 but sometimes you compare it to the 5.56 which compares to the similar 6.8 Remington. I do not know if this is a good comparison, because long time ago the army chose a smaller caliber, because it prefers 30 rounds more than 20 more powerful ones.
    8
  2702. I really want to see how the NGSW ballistic computer optic molds with guns. Thats a huge part of the program we have yet to see.

  2708. There's something else you didn't really touch on. The North Korean government relies heavily on the constant threat of war (real or imagined) to justify many of its own policies, as well as the many hardships endured by its people. It therefore makes sense that they would take advantage of joint military exercises to exaggerate the threat level posed by South Korea and the United States.

  2717. Bro to be honest, i wouldnt be surprise if the army dont use games or simulations like that to train guys a bit under stress and stuff. Shoot the air force and navy does it, hell SURGENS PLAY VIDEO GAMES AND DO BETTER AT SURGERY. Im just saying maybe something like that with more accurate stimulation for our troops. Idk could work some magic. CAPPY CALL THE SRGT

  2721. In one of lindybeige's videos he brought up a very interesting topic on how many people in the army actually fired AND AIMED AT actual enemy PEOPLE. It is astounding. And thus the USA army was one of the first armies to incorporate target practice with targets representing a human creature - pictures of real-sized humans as targets just to help psychics of soldiers being used to fire at people and dehumanize the shape of enemy soldier being an actual human.
    8
  2722. C'mon Cappy, I've been a long-time fan but that Russian Aggression map is very dishonest. Most of them were invaded either generations before NATO (Like France, as an example, was invaded by a whole European alliance during the Napoleonic wars after Napoleon invaded all of Europe all the way to Moscow) and then a ton of them were "invaded" (most of them liberated and simply passed through) during WWII alongside other allies to defeat Nazism. If we made a similar map of countries invaded by America it would literally include Russia (during the northern Expedition after the Russian revolution in 1917 and during the Russian civil war) as well as almost every single country on that list plus more in every continent. NATO expansion relies partly on Russian aggression, sure, but it also relies on US worldwide power, and is generally a tool of our foreign policy. You personally experienced the first time we activated Article 5, it was 9/11 and it resulted in many countries being pulled into Iraq and Afghanistan and destroying them so thoroughly that it will be many generations before they are the same again. Countries definitely want protection from Russia's aggression, and they are right to, but I don't think it helps to pretend like NATO has served as a simple, common-sense alliance to protect national sovereignty. You know first-hand that is a bogus supposition.

They also have their squads together from the start of the inception through exiting of service (mostly) This creates huge improvements in team work and comradery. I'm only 4 1/2 mins into video lest see what else I can comment on?

  2744. Great video, but a couple things to point out: Polar is the most common but least accurate. Shift from known point is the least common IMO. FIST stands for Fire Support Team. Ardennes is pronounced Ar-den I won't go into detail but your call for fire example isn't really right. Good video though, you should do another focusing on just JTACs.

  2752. Hey Chris, first I want to say thanks for the consistent and amazing content I have been a subscriber for a long time and I have a humble suggestion; it would be awesome if you can convert the measurements to metric system as well so your European/Asian followers can be immersed more into your content. Again, we can calculate it yes, but I believe it would be good for immersion since it also means recognition for us in your channel <3.
    8
  2753. Edit: Yes I know T&P mentions this for 3 seconds in the video. I am talking about in general. One thing no one talks about is the weight and its lasting effects on veterans. ALLOT of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans now have back and knee disabilities due to the combat gear we had to wear for hours and days at a time. The VA is loaded with cases due to these issues. Every single veteran I served with complains about knee and back problems. And it used to be just the old timers had these complaints. But now its soldiers that only served a couple years or more. They keep trying to add more gear and weight to the soldiers but our bodies simply aren't able to handle the stress for prolonged periods. Either they make exo-skeletons or rethink how much soldiers can carry in to combat. Or figure out a better way to off load allot of these issues to some robot that doesn't obviously look like millions of wasted tax payer dollars.
    8
  2754. Hello cappy, I've been following your videos since 2019 and I have seen you make video on Germany, British, USA, China, Russian, Israel army and so on... I wish you to make a video on Indian Armed forces, as they have gone under serial changes after a standoff on LAC... because I don't see foreign channel analyse our country's Armed forces which is 2nd largest following China!!!😁🥰

  2758. You absolutely nailed this video! All the points were thoroughly covered. Why was it so successful and reliable from launch is easy, H&K! Is it obsolete? No, easy answer better optics allowing accurate shot placement especially at the short and medium ranges the 9mm calibre excels at. Good job buddy.

  2767. Cappy, I know you are limited in time but you scarcely mentioned the Pakistan/India dynamic. Nor did you allude to the repeated spectacular failures of the Indian 'build it here' initiatives. India, by all accounts has the world's most convoluted and inefficient bureaucracy, which, combined with blatant cronyism and corruption has made it very difficult for them to modernize their military

  2776. The view that we created a monster is ludicrous in that a monster was already there. We got rid of the first monster and another came in. It’s like whack-a-mole.

  2778. Just build the deathstar. One time investment and after that youll never need to upgrade your weapons systems for another 50,000 years

  2779. This is almost prophetic. Great video and just the facts...just the facts. Loved it.
    7
  2780. Love the info we get from you!
    7
  2781. What I really like about this video is it shows how war will escalate without careful diplomacy and wrangling by international actors. It is hard for those in a conflict to give up after so many lives have been lost and harmed. I think thats why afghanstan and Iraq drug out longer then was ever benificial, if it ever was. It's constrations put in place by those keeping this war going namely the united states, and nations selling russia weapons that are going to keep this going since russia cant obliterate Ukrainian oposition. I really think the united states needs to tread carefully in the future.

  2785. Hmm i want a third arm. Mostly to hold my beer.
    7
  2786. I LOVE how you skipped over the fact that the sudden decrease in armour prior to the Great War was due to standardization. With every soldiers kit being provided, the government just didn't want to pay for body armour for every one.

  2787. The dragoons now have 360 cameras

  2790. Every time I see NGSW, my brain switches it to NSFW

  2791. The NGSW programme is not related to the Lightweight Medium Machine Gun programme which is currently in hiatus. There is no actual mention of 338 guns in any of the NGSW requirements.

  2792. Hey Cappy do you know if SIG has tried making a Hybrid 5.56 rifle with high pressure ammo? Loved the video
    7
  2793. I hope you get to test the bullpup option soon, I think they’re so cool and I’m curious how effective it would be
    7
  2794. Giving you a thumbs-up 👍 just for pronouncing H&K properly.

  2795. It doesn't trigger British people when you use the imperial system because not only do we use it day in day out, it was INVENTED here too! I don't understand where people get this idea that the Americans are the only one to use the system. Most people in the country can use metric and imperial interchangeably. Triggering aside, it was good to see a video where you're not just regurgitating things seen in other videos. It was an interesting watch.

  2796.  @Taskandpurpose  Gotcha =)

  2797. Cappy! FYI a vast majority of USSS agents work as full time Financial crime investigators, and as a gig act as local liasons who scout ahead of the minority of dedicated protection units

  2798. Hey man, great work, love the video. I know you're US based, but did you check out the British Virtus kit by Source/Revision? It's a lot like the Ops-Core kit and definitely worth a look

  2807. That proximity explodey greande feature was in Battlefield 2142, thing was fun as hell. I LOVED using it. Right up until I found the INfantry Detection Device on the Support guy and got gud with the Ganz HMG. Round counter? The Luftwaffe in WW2 had an ammo counter in their planes.

  2811. The sanctions are frustrating to see, to me. There does clearly need to be an international response to what is blatantly an unjustifiable war of aggression (war crime), but the sanctions are hitting Russian citizens way harder than they are government higher-ups or the Russian war effort. This will be presented by state media to the Russian people as unfair and malicious so for broad sanctions to be meaningful there must be consistent and omnipresent messaging as to their purpose. It needs to be made abundantly clear to those the sanctions affect exactly why this is being done. Targeted sanctions against family, associates and those with influence in Putin's closest circles would be more effective (or at the very least more fair) but in the UK I don't see that happening because of the outsized influence oligarch money has on our politics. We can't even waive visa requirements for refugees for f's sake. It's mind-blowing how blasé some media figures are to the suggestion of a no-fly zone however, like they think we can just open up an anti-plane force field or something. It would be the equivalent of NATO troops on the ground in direct conflict with Russia and would present a very real and very reckless escalation - there would be little meaningful distinction between promises to shoot down Russian aircraft and a declaration of war. This sucks so much for everyone involved and I hope that it can be resolved soon with as little bloodshed and suffering as possible.
    7
  2812. I also very much enjoy these videos, and I do think they are fairly unbiased. But without any bias? No. These videos are incredibly biased, just not to the degree of most Western media sources atm. He absolutely has a very pro-Ukraine bias, and definitely interprets events through that lens, and his own experience in the military. These videos are great, but they are absolutely full of personal bias, and thinking they're not is dangerous. There's nothing wrong with personal bias, but not recognising it is bad.
    7
  2813. Yes please make more. But can you make it about infantry and squad tactics? Like compare how you guys took iraq or whatever in terms of city and state levels, then can you also make a separate detailed video about urban combat, and both videos based on the equipment both sides have and are using? Like how you showed the map of Ukraine and the highway, then talked about tanks and how roads csn be booby trapped etc. Do a whole video just on that kinda stuff. Focus on the weapons like AK12 and night sites and what pros and cons each side have and what their tactics and strategies will be as a result of their equipment and limitations etc. Maybe another video can be about the whole geopolitical situation starting from 2014 or even before. You can't really deny that usa had a hand in the 2014 coup, you can search for Victoria nulands leaked audio where she basically admits it. When even John McCain a US senator goes to Ukraine to make political statements and other stuff, it's pretty obvious usa is involved and meddling. It's like if some Russian or Chinese senator went to usa and was backing or supporting some opposition rebel militia group in usa that wanted to split from USA, or even worse, overthrow it's whole government and replace it. That's how Russia sees Ukraine from 2014 to now. You claim the 2014 gov and before was a Russian puppet. Why not just say they were pro Russian? They were legitimately elected, and I don't think anyone doubts that. So regardless of everything else, the statement of "Ukrainians legitimate democratically elected government was overthrown" is objectively true and not disputable. Accusations of corruption from the leader or whatever is irrelevant. It's like saying because trump or whoever is corrupt, Russia can then meddle and can overthrow the whole usa gov or actively support opposition groups and arm opposition militias etc. That's just ridiculous but I'm guessing Americans think that it's their god given right to make accusations of corruption or human rights abuse and just invade and overthrow any other sovereign country anytime they want since that's what USA has been doing since forever and still doing. Russia just copied usas playbook this time and usa and eu cannot say anything. How is Russia copying usas playbook? They said luhansk and Donetsk had a referendum and voted to be independent, so they are supporting self determination. They said they are going in to be peacekeepers to protect Russian ethnics from violence and genocide. Again copying usa making genocide accusations with zero evidence whatsoever. Just like usa did to china except instead of invasion usa and west did sanctions. Luckily china is strong enough to defend itself nowadays from both invasion and sanctions. Usa and west and especially Ukraine is reaping what they sowed. Can't believe Ukraine is still talking tough saying they will defeat anyone and everyone. They could have avoided all this by just negotiating with Russia and giving security guarantees like not joining nato or hosting us or eu troops and weapon systems, and declaring neutrality. They at least had some leverage before war started. Now they got nothing, and will be taking massive damage and deaths, and in the end they will have to make even more concessions than if they made them at the start. I guess it's not easy to admit you're weak and have less leverage before the fighting evne starts and ends, but that's why you need a good leader with foresight and not just talk tough and ignore reality, and hoping that usa or nato will fight your war and die for you. Ukraine was always the one who would be dying and who would be destroyed, not russia, not usa, not other eu countries. They took a risk that usa or eu would protect them anyone with half a brain cell knows that would never happen. Russia is a nuclear superpower in military terms, no one is fighting Russia unless they have no other option. Unless your name is zelensky and you're an idiot who can only talk tough to keep their job while their people will be the one dying, but I digress. Good video Cappy. Hope you can make more on this topic and do the ones I mentioned above.

  2815. heroes like this areamazing. yet i believe any and ALL americans have this ability to do these same deeds. they just lack the opportunity. and that is in no way minimizing Staff Sergeant Pitsenbargers heroic sacrifice. far from it, the man was a genuine hero. i just feel that we as americans are born with an innate sense of brotherhood, patriotism, and love for our country, and our fellow brothers and sisters in the field. if given the ungodly opportunity, i believe the vast majority of us americans are absolutely capable of doing this and very similar actions. and THIS is why america is the greatest country in the world, with some of the greatest humans in the world. the government might be broke and have several despicable people in it. but the country is what makes the people, not the government.....governments can be replaced.

  2816. I just found this channel a few days ago. I'm doing something I rarely do, binge watch. I've seen very few military history channels that present the information in such a concise and fun way. Part of it might be my military roots, ( My dad was an Army Air Corp Vet of WWII, Uncle came ashore in Normandy and was later captured by the Germans and escaped just before the Russians "liberated " the camp, My Aunt was a deployed nurse in WWII my Father-in-law was an OH-6 pilot Vietnam, I also lost a cousin who's name is subscribed on the Vietnam Memorial and lastly, but certainly not least my son deployed to Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division in 2010. I wanted to serve but in 1983 they were riffing people instead of taking them in). The point is that your channel is fantastic.

  2817. My wife's from just west of there, down the road from the (very new) county administrative center seen at the western side of the (very present-day) satellite image at 0:18 . The climate around there is temperate, owing to the elevation and prevailing winds. Great place to fight, I guess. As to vegetation, "jungle" gives the wrong idea. It looks more like an overgrown Virginia. https://goo.gl/maps/qhq3YF7cLUW5ARiJA ` The American movie notion of Việt Nam seems drawn from the Me Kong river delta... which is why we never see GIs on screen shivering at night. It can get cold there, just not enough for snow.
    7
  2818. How was the smell? What I'm wondering is if there are any noxious fumes or particulates coming off from the polymer case that might cause health issues, since we've become a lot more aware of that - and hopefully the VA will aswell soon. Otherwise this is the clear choice of ammo. Not too keen on the gun though.
    7
  2819. The bolt release is kind of interesting, i thought the older version of the gun didn't have it but now i see that it was just really small, wonder what those two levers in front of the fire selector are for, though.

  2820. The cringey stock footage in the background kept me chuckling. 😆 Interesting weapon system! Reminds me of the Mk48.

    7
  2827. You do realize up until the mid 1980's we actually just used Jeeps for light transport vehicles and sure they had doors made of canvas and plastic . Heck the engine block was so small I doubt even it was bulletproof let alone any other part of a Jeep . Vehicles weren't supposed to protect soldiers that's what your rifle was for .

  2846. Why do soldiers shoot more often when they have a buddy? It probably is indeed evolutionary psychology, being social creatures. People act differently around other people. Twice the involved parties, half the responsibility.

  2851. The video is amazing. And thank you T&P team for making me part of this. Thank a lot
    7
  2852. Very good analysis. A few mistakes though. Warships are not the same as battleships. France didn't surrender in WW1. This one will be a bit more controversial... The Maginot Line was not a failure. It did what it was supposed to do.
    7
  2853. Can you elaborate on those military bases in Mexico 🇲🇽? And why would we want Russian bases south of our border ? 🤷🏽‍♂️maybe a joke that went over my head.
    7
  2854. Interesting video but there are certain points to be made : Russia does not have sufficient troops across the border, for a large scale invasion of Ukraine and has no reason to invade, unless provoked by Ukraine. They are using power politics, making it clear that they will not accept NATO in Ukraine. The main problem is that eastern Ukraine is inhabited by Russians that are Ukrainian citizens and not Ukrainians. Western Ukrainians are actually of Polish Lithuanian origin and hate the Russians. However Kiev was historically the area were Russians originated and were called Kievan Rus. Much later through Mongol, Teutonic and Polish Lithuanian invasions the Russians were pushed to the East. During WW2 the Ukrainians initially saw the Nazis as liberators, but the German's brutality turned them back to the side of the Soviets. Crimea was part of Russia, until Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev donated it to Ukraine, for their contribution in WW2, after all they were all Soviet comrades at the time. Crimea has always been a flash point in the region and numerous wars between Russia and the Ottoman empire were fought over it. In the most famous one, the British were involved on the side of the Ottomans and is the war that the charge of the light brigade took place. For the west Crimea has always been of interest because it is the only major warm water port Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union and now Russia again have, that can be operational year round. Frankly, I think that the Russians are justified to fear the West, after all the invasions of Russia by the western powers, from the Teutonic Crusaders to Napoleon and Hitler. The current situation is not handled well by the US, you cant boss around a nuclear superpower and it is not to the best interest of any one for the US to go against the two largest countries of the world at the same time: Russia, the largest country in area and China the country with the largest population. A war in Europe will not stay only in Europe. In my opinion the thing to do in order to have everyone to save face, would be to invite both Russia and Ukraine to join NATO, in accordance to the saying: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". This would work both ways, for the West and the Russians, in addition to keeping the Far East stable. This is a most interesting video about the history of the Russians, that is directly influencing recent events : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0Wmc8C0Eq0
    7
  2855. Long time subscriber and enjoy your videos but this video I wished would have never needed to be produced. Very sad state of events. As typical our service members acted and performed as expected unfortunately an incredible political blunder with horrible consequences to be paid by those left behind in Afghanistan.
    7
  2856. Stupid to use a 16” barrel. Use a 20” to utilize the full potential of that round. So you gain a pound maybe a pound and half. This gun will be lighter than the 249. I was a SAW gunner for years, weight was never an issue. What about barrel changing. A real machine you can swap out barrels. If not bring back the M-16 A1 with a heavy barrel. Hopefully they will torture test the new ammo cases in extreme hot and cold, weather. As well as snow, sand, mud , ice and water. The weight with a plastic case versus brass is negligible. This just seems to me to be cost savings issue. As a Soldiers I want reliable feeding, firing and extraction. If they don’t thoroughly test this new ammo, there sure will be a lot of SGLI money payed out.

    7
  2860. Dude.. I love the channel, but.. 7,92 (8mm Mauser) is much larger (both diameter and length) and much more powerful than 7,62x51 NATO. It’s essentially a .308 Winchester, which is essentially a .30-06 shortened in length. It’s still a great cartridge, absolutely. But it is certainly weaker than 8mm Mauser (7,92x57mm)
    7
  2861. Anything: Happens Chris Cappy: Needs to chill out
    7
  2862. What happened to the Gadaffi vid?
    7
  2863. FYI A lot of "pro Ukraine" channels are being hit by YouTube de-monetisation due to Russian bots abusing reporting and copyright tricks. Ryan McBeth has a community post up about it and there's a lot of chatter in the comments section about other channels being hit. That might have been what happened to Cappy's video a few days ago. While it wasn't a Ukraine video, they may have just been hitting the channel in general.
    7
  2864. Very well researched and presented. I think a bunch of journalists, students and politicians in the west should watch this clip... A very competent history/political science rundown. 👍🤙from 🇸🇪
    7
  2865. I totally agree in most parts and it's definitely a well done video. I disagree on what you point out at the end. I mean sure PLA has never seen combat since the war with India and Vietnam but US hasn't either. US focused on counter Insurgency warfare or (in desert Storm for example) in fighting outdated militaries. US also doesn't know much about modern warfare on a large scale scenario. In fact I believe that countries like Taiwan, south Korea, India, china, turkey, Greece, Azerbaijan, Armenia, serbia and so many other countries have better training than the US in terms of functioning and operating bc they all focus on fighting real armies. I don't try to underestimate the US military but when you don't really have threats other than terrorists.........
    7
  2866. Another amazing video!
    7
  2867. Can you do a video about battle rifles( G3,FAL,HK417 and SCAR-H) and what is their role in modern military tactics ? And if they can be used in full auto ?
    7
  2868. You said " what would a russian thing be called? A bear rifle? " Funny thing is that there is actually somewhat of a dragunov variant called a " bear rifle " its called the medved-3 ( medved is russian for bear ). Its basically a dragunov but in a very quality semi-automatic hunting rifle format chambered in 308. And possibly 7.62x54r. I encourge anyone who is interested in this video to check them out
    7
  2869. i really wanted to see him talking about modern rifles from other countrys. like the brazilian IA2,the german G36,the french FA MAS and others
    7
  2870. I would love to see a video on why the Owen gun was never modernized & ditched! Australian military choices just don't make any sense sometimes, aside from personalizing the AUG.
    7
  2871. Hey bro. I would love to see you do an analysis of the British military if you've not done one already. I know you've touched on some areas. The reason for this is that as with many countries our government is woefully neglecting our conventional capabilities thinking they can rely on our nukes and a few drones and keyboard commandos. Obviously that's a drastic over simplification but hopefully you get my point. They seem to be labouring under the delusion that a major conventional war won't happen despite strong evidence to the contrary. Videos like yours help to educate the public and put pressure on governments to do the right thing so keep up the good work my friend!
    7
  2872.  @Taskandpurpose  Thanks a lot Chris Cappy for making great videos. It is very informative. Have a great day ahead!

  2874. I don't understand the measurements you can also add the metric system in addition to the imperial one I would like to understand the measurements
    7
  2875. Maybe the us military decided to go with the 9mm because no battle was ever decided by pistol caliber.
    7
  2876. Great video

  2878. To quote Colin Powell, "if you break it, you buy it." We spent decades wrecking Latin America on behalf of U.S. corporations and ill-conceived political goals. We made the mess and are now trying to dodge responsibility.

  2880. So glad this channel found me hahah
    7
  2881. Hey mate, nice to see you include New Zealand troops training footage in this video at 8 minutes-ish and onward. I’m ex-NZ Infantry. 1RNZIR. Went to Afghanistan in 2008.... and oh, we used FIBUA method like the brits, at least back when I was still in the Army. We pronounce it as “FEE-Byu-Wah”. And you are right, it was based on interpretation for every unit. I remember our platoon use to give our section commanders (squad commanders) a bit of slack as to how they want to interpret the principles of those tactics and then the higher ups would compare our sections (squads) with each other to see who did what better. Don’t know if the current infantry battalions still do it that way now.
    7
  2882. I always really enjoy your videos
    7
  2883. i should have started watching this channel just a bit sooner.

  2884. Make a vedio on world's worst guns

  2885. Lmao, that Tamagotchi bit was hilarious!
    7
  2886. Good list of events. Also, Venuzuela threatened to invade/take over Guyana and North Korea is threatening war as well. The world seems very turbulent. Having said that, some of the current conflicts will likely end during 2024 or die down but new ones seems very likely to pop up.
    7
  2887. What.... The M-240 is the best MG for the time I was in 87-10, got rid of the God awful M-60! So I wonder if you're going to have to head space and time the new MG, since the barrel float.... But I have used it (M240) in Afghanistan and it does have a drop when trying to shoot up hill and from a MRAP or hummer. I like the symplicity of the 240, but then again my 1st 6-7 years with the M60 so I'm easily impressed!

  2892. The editing was awesome on this one. I loved grabbing the MP5 out of the background in the beginning
    7
  2893. I forget the gun shop name, but my dad used to go to it to get some primers and powder. I grew up in Ventura. The LAPD didn't buy the firearms. The owner had to wait to get them back because of them being evidence. He was not to happy with it. The only good thing it was free advertising. I remember watching the shoot out live at Ft. McNair while I was in the Army Honorguard while cleaning my M-14. As soon as it was over we put "Heat," on.
    7
  2894. Give this guy some subs, he deserves it.
    7
  2895. Woah woah woah, a CIV 5 reference?? You've also referred to Command & Conquer in the past Man, as if I didn't have enough reasons to love this channel, this is just icing on top of icing on the cake
    7
  2896. 1:45 So what, one tank broke down? It's not all tanks that broke down. Lol. It happens, factory errors happen. It's just how probability works in mathematics. Maybe engine was at fault. How many failures did NASA have with their rockets?? So, mistakes and errors happen. If whole Battalion of tanks, or most of it broke down, than that'd be concerning and sceptical.
    7
  2897. Dope video ! But PJ, CCT(combat controller team), SR(special recon) AND TACP( tactical Air control party) Are all Air Force special operators in Air Force special TACTICS. “Air Force special forces” is not accurate. Check out ones ready YT channel for Air Force special warfare videos
    7
  2898. Chris u r videos has always unbiased and presenting the actual picture Always wait to watch u r videos Make some Video upon Asian country as this Regions is huge with lots of complexity and many activities happenings Great going Chis
    7
  2899. 6:29 scope loose? woops Great video 👍
    7
  2900. I keep putting off getting my adhd checked...
    7
  2901. Lapua not Lupa. Otherwise great video 👌👌
    7
  2902. So, cappy, where did you get that tshirt? I want one too
    7
  2903. 9 countries have nukes not 7 ')
    7
  2904. 🇺🇦
    7
  2905. "I learned it from watching you! Okay!" Dude, I laughed so hard at that.
    7
  2906. WRONG! Armor still matters for a whole host of reasons. What will give armor full relevance again are active defense systems. And those systems are already fielded, with more on the way.
    7
  2907. Thanks, this is the closest to an academic understanding of the Ukraine war I will ever come to.
    7
  2908. Very balanced criticism of both sides actions of the last 20 years. I would love a follow up video covering the preceding 60 years. I know that this is not your typical content. But you did this so well. I think people that see bias in this video need to look in the mirror at their own bias.
    7
  2909. As a 42A, I’m offended. Lol
    7
  2910. Super cool next gen tank!
    7
  2911. ❤❤
    7
  2912. from memory, Australian special forces in some cases had to use the M4 as the earlier Aug models did not support add ons, such as grenade launchers etc. The F90 onwards fully support add on equipment. The Testing between the Aug and the M16 was far from biased, it might be said that the commentator in this video in refusing that the Aug out performed the m16, is the one being biased. The australian army wanted the best rifle, and they got the best rifle....they then modified the crap out of it to make it even better.
    7
  2913. Love your content. Thank you. With respect, you need to avoid these little edit issues with vocals and overdubs that take the production value of your content down a notch. Watch this video in full and there are at least 3-4 little things (all audio related and related to audio fades or bad cuts) that you can avoid.
    7
  2914. Engine sounds really good (pun intended), secondarie weapon systems also are pretty neat, i just wonder if the main gun isn´t going to be a bit on the "small" side with europe (and therefore major NATO partners) looking for 130mm systems on their next gen tanks.
    7
  2915. few corrections man, (vids pretty good btw). Lance 2.0 sports Mk30/2 main gun, same as Puma (as name suggests its a 30mm autocannon, good airburst rounds though). koreans use base form K21 (which AS21 is based of, better gun IMO, being 40mm and all no missile launcher though, PIP will solve that problem though, that + KAPS hard-kill). Griffin III is ASCOD chassis (spanish/austrian joint project, hence the name btw, companies making it were later bought by GD), not Ajax, that thing itself is also based from ASCOD chassis (see the thing literally everywhere on the net these days), updated 2 model (by updated i mean bigger) and in all fairness that thing is FUGLY although i guess nice way to mod it for i dunno, a light tank, (Griffin II), if it can be modded like that (not 100% sure on that part). as for APS (not correction or anything, just a opinion) think hard-kill is better despite problems it poses for dismounts, because hard-kills can face larger variety of threats, be it RPG or ATGM. because soft-kill systems might or might not affect the incoming missile (depends on system and missile its facing). israelis did adjust their infantry tactics when working with Merkava 4M (has trophy APS the same one new M1s are fielding) Main battle tanks, so i don't see why US shouldn't follow suit. outta the 4 platforms though? i think i'd take KF41, good autocannon, pretty "modular" (ugh can't escape that one, can i?) can carry a full rifle squad? perfect. although knowing US national pride might get in the way.
    7
  2916. Aren't the Strikers impreganted with ceramic armor with all-around 14.5×114mm protection? Just like the M113 it isn't going to last long if the Ukrainians use it wrong ie frontline offensives
    7
  2917. Cappy in a suit Harbinger of the end times :(
    6
  2918. This video feels a bit poorly cut together. I've certainly enjoyed and apricated this channel for a good while now but I really hope the quality increases again so that I can make this my lunch break channel once more.
    6
  2919. Lmfao! The Dexter’s Lab joke was on point
    6
  2920. Cappy have you been working out? Because you’re looking extra daddy like recently. Watch out Garand thumb
    6
  2921. I had the M249 from 94-98 and i bought a SOG multiplier just to clear jams. battalion cmdr didnt like that! it wasnt uniform! I had the same problem with the plastic drums, swapped out the magazine pouches for SAW pouches. And guess who didnt like that either...
    6
  2922. I wish he would make a video on modernization of Indian army as they are arming against China
    6
  2923. I love your content bro, please continue to keep it non biased. Too many biased leaning channels nowadays, and its evident if its biased by the first 5 min.
    6
  2924. Crunchy? Thats a nice one
    6
  2925. Another outstanding work from my favorite CIA asset!
    6
  2926. 7:05 man thats wild they they didn't even flinch. Didnt miss a beat. I remember seeing a video clip where someone said something like "if we are still here to be afraid of it, they missed, so why be afraid" just wild.
    6
  2927. never write comments but this is extraordinary work. respect!
    6
  2928. Keep up your great reporting!
    6
  2929. Did you miss the flak jackets issued during the Vietnam war?
    6
  2930. Considering you said that the main problems are mostly the HUD and it’s impairment of treating wounds, these can be easily solved with a minimalistic hud and/or removing it completely. Also the ability to quick disconnect parts can reduce the impairment of treating wounds.
    6
  2931. I absolutely love your military analyzations and history videos. Keep it up, Christopher Cappernicus
    6
  2932. Last I checked rivers are pretty important terrain features...just putting that out there.
    6
  2933. Please look at the Millennium Challenge 2002 War Games and how that relates to the sale of the Stryker. Really cool story! This old marine general defeated an entire carrier strike group and was kicked out of the war room!
    6
  2934. The Stryker is one of my favorite U.S. Military Vehicles, as well!
    6
  2935. Chris you're very tight
    6
  2936. ​ @Taskandpurpose  jk, you're on it 🤣🤣🤣
    6
  2937. I was on this deployment. It was wild.
    6
  2938. Very cool, very epic. Thank you, Chris!
    6
  2939. As an Italian and a former Fincantieri Group employee, I IMPLORE you to correct your pronunciation of “Fincantieri” at 10:00. You mangled it beyond any recognition 😅 For every other aspect, great job as usual!
    6
  2940. You're an artist exploring your craft. Don't be afraid to try new things. Don't worry about the haters
    6
  2941. But can you conceal carry it?
    6
  2942. I like the way Cappy grips the shafts
    6
  2943. In the uk we normally call it the sa 80 not L 85
    6
  2944. Check your facts. Israel did not attack the embassy, that still stand and without a single scratch, but a building near the embassy used for an by terrorists. That building did not host a single diplomat .
    6
  2945. would be helpful putting in the description some of the cited or mentioned sources in the video.
    6
  2946. It was 65km then 40 miles then 40km. Now we aren't sure if its even that big.
    6
  2947. Am learning something new every time you upload thanks 🙏🏻
    6
  2948. I can't believe my eyes. ANOTHER Task and purpose video? This upload schedule is on fire, I'm struggling to keep up
    6
  2949. Is no one going to talk about the fuzzy handcuffs he had on the table?
    6
  2950. I’m with you, the G36 is a Teutonic rifle.
    6
  2951. Mearsheimer is pretty far left. He supported Bernie Sanders as a presidential candidate. You would have to convince me he isn't a commie. That video that has over 20 million views I think unfairly taps into one's feeling of responsibility and self-reflection. Every time Russia would invade a country or step up aggressive rhetoric, more and more countries would join NATO. Then he would get mad or, pretend to get mad about more countries of joining NATO. If Russia wasn't a predatory nuclear terrorist state we wouldn't be having these issues.
    6
  2952. You have reached new levels of cheesiness. But that's OK.🤪
    6
  2953. I'm going to buy one of them Goatguns 1911's and play with it in class lmfao
    6
  2954. Yep, thats how you make a speech.
    6
  2955. What did I think of the M320? Hot garbage.
    6
  2956. I'll take the M203 any day
    6
  2957. The 320 is fine given the SOP is to carry it stand alone. But if you want an under slung GL, it is atrocious. My unit recieved the 320s a couple months b4 I ETSd and supply never mounted them. They were on the racks by themselves and that's how they were issued. IMO, the debate isn't which GL is better. It is under slung vs stand alone. Which doctrine is better?
    6
  2958. SLJ and Ed Harris guarantee a great movie.
    6
  2959. when I see Cybertruck, it reminds me of Nighthawk
    6
  2960. Seems mighty similar to thr platoon house concept the Brits used in Malaysia.
    6
  2961. I can definitely see this channel growing to over 500k subscribers. Good stuff. Your hard work is appreciated. You can see the quality in your videos.
    6
  2962. Task & Purpose the army doesn’t even use the 7.62x39 to begin with lol
    6
  2963. Uzi may be outdated, but it’s still sexy as hell
    6
  2964. 🎉🎉🎉
    6
  2965. Wait.....has the army ever gave an accurate counseling statement?
    6
  2966. Hi, his courage and ability to think clearly under fire are obvious from this video and I’m positive he is a thoroughly deserving recipient of the MoH. The thing that makes him stand out to me is his choice of career post WWII. He did his duty then put down his weapon and tried to help his comrades come to terms with horrors they had witnessed. Thanks for putting this video together 👍.
    6
  2967. Deployed twice in the gan , both thin skinned humv , just get away from it when you take contact
    6
  2968. Make video about Croatian army
    6
  2969. Woah you’re almost to 1,000,000! Hell yea brother. You do great work.
    6
  2970. Good work Cappy, you really nailed it.
    6
  2971. Crypto needs to stay largely unregulated. Governments can't have the final say over people's spending. Bitcoin needs to exist for the good of peaceful dissidence in authoritarian countries.
    6
  2972. man cappy you seem like a great guy
    6
  2973. I'm gonna need all the goat gun ads together as a feature length release, thanks in advance
    6
  2974. Hello from Germany that was a very good video about the different aspacts of the spz puma
    6
  2975. my grandfather alo worked on the F14 tomcat. thank you for this video
    6
  2976. I live next to military unit in Poland and i love hearing pkm in the distance
    6
  2977. Not the best anymore, just after the new SIG MG 338 😎🤙
    6
  2978. The whole point of using metal casing, especially brass, is that they take heat out of the gun when ejected. All that polymer ammo is only going to leave tons of residual heat in the chamber and gun melts itself in 3 clips.
    6
  2979. That was an outstanding video, but it's important to note that the military pivoted back to it's Cold War ways after the Russians annexed Crimea in 2014. NTC/JRTC rotations are the closest most troops get to deployments nowadays and it's all near-peer/FOF action now. Nevertheless you did an excellent job on this video. Your knowledge of the military and how it works has me thinking you're one of those Intel guys. Do you by chance LARP?
    6
  2980. "Not the internet historian"😂
    6
  2981. This will change nothing. No one will choose to advance on enemies with a handgun instead of a long arm. Also who cares if your handgun can put a 2" group or a 10" group at 50 yards when no one uses hand guns at that range. On top of all that a lighter gun is not a faster gun, the lighter the gun, the more felt recoil, the longer it takes to re-align the sights, its physics.
    6
  2982. I was under the impression that using hollow point rounds in the military violates international conventions that allow only ball point ammo. What changed?
    6
  2983. 3:27 Don’t forget they also manufacture the pinnacle of automotive engineering, the Daewoo Matiz!
    6
  2984. Interesting video but you forgot to mention the cracks found in the aircraft carrier flight decks and if the Chinese have found a reason or solution yet.
    6
  2985. Good vid.oh and thanks for the last vid. Very moving.
    6
  2986. Come on, Cap, you have a problem saying "modular" but "synergy" just rolls off the tongue like a corporate yuppie?
    6
  2987. Please request review South African weapons.
    6
  2988. My personal guide to those who want to join bootcamp: 1. Don't fuck up. 2. Don't quit. After basic, life is far easier and you'll somehow managed to gain more pounds from the stuff they sell you at Px because sentry and pickett duty is unbearable without snacks and coffee (or in my case, tea, because i have caffeine intolerance)
    6
  2989. Don't be first. Don't be last. And don't volunteer for anything... There will be plenty of time to be voluntold later on.
    6
  2990. 'Don't drink the cannon water'. Sounds like a challenge to me. If you bottled the old cannon water, that would sell better than coca cola man. :_Hooah:
    6
  2991. wouldn't this also mean that it goes against Prigozhin's interest to capture Bakhmut? since it's the reason he wields so much power?
    6
  2992. I think the 15 degrees accuracy you quoted is actually temperature in degrees Celsius.
    6
  2993. If you do another video on this, can you mention South Korea's potentially sending armaments to Ukraine. South Korea has awesome missiles, planes, and drones.
    6
  2994. I love your videos! Been watching them for few years now. You always tell the things how they are without taking sides favoring one over the other or letting your own personal opinions affect the story, like most Youtubers. Keep up the good work and congrats on your proposal! :))
    6
  2995. He wants to show how long it takes to load this rifles but has a picture of Prussian soldiers in the background. Prussian soldiers were drilled to shoot 6 rpm. Double as much as almost every other army at this point
    6
  2996. COMMENTING ON THIS VIDEO, BATTLE BUDDY!
    6
  2997. Dude this is fucking awesome. Appreciate the work put into this.. Really enjoyed it. Would be interesting to see the evolution of other units in the military. Keep up the great content.
    6
  2998. I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade.
    6
  2999.  @Taskandpurpose  that's army correct
    6
  3000. 5:50 I personally think the reason why the Tank has ATGM launchers is that the Main Gun could be Riffled. Riffled Main Guns cannot fire ATGMs whereas the Smoothbore Guns can. For example, Russian Tanks can fire ATGMs from their Smoothbore Guns. So there could be a possibility that North Korea couldn't develop a Smoothbore Gun.
    6
  3001. Bro. Update us about Ukraine war until now. We have been bombarded by western and Russian propaganda making it very hard to see through this fog of war. We also want to see through your eyes about that Russo/Ukraine war
    6
  3002. How did you get the selfie of myself on the couch? That was hilarious, I had to rewind that part to laugh some more. I laughed so hard I had to open the window after I farted because there’s truth in humor. Keep up the good work!
    6
  3003. Pretty sure it’s illegal to drive with earbuds in
    6
  3004. @task and purpose which do you prefer M27 iar or the ngsw?
    6
  3005. To those who question quality vs quantity, WWII between Germany and USSR is a good example of outcome. Also conflicts like ambush in Nigeria when four American green berets were killed when a mobile group of trained country men on motorbikes armed with AKM rifles completely destroyed "anti terrorist" forces which had all the modern technology, intelligence and even air support!... and there are many many more examples... In order to benefit from optical sights on infantry assault rifle, first of all you have to see and even know where exactly is your target, and from that distance you will barely see and even know because they will hide everywhere it's possible to hide, and when you inevitably come in closer contact your optical sights will be the reason you will be shot faster than you should have been otherwise... The delusion some experts get, because during modern missions for the most part NATO troop infantries are being used just to shoot a little bit from long distances so less risk is involved, there isn't goal to take over that place at all, and air strikes with rockets do all the job. While in a real war scenario you would have to bring your infantry deeper into territory, and then your problems and different war begins... That's why armies can't conquer Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, North Korea... yes you can destroy all infrastructure with rockets, but then you are just criminal evil and not powerful conqueror as most big empires would like to be... and without infrastructure guerrilla fighters gain even more advantage over regular army of invaders...
    6
  3006. Lol this crazy because I leave tomorrow for the infantry 💯
    6
  3007. Oh please. I shot a penny in half from 1231 meters on my first shot with no scope. I'm surprised you passed your rifle qual.
    6
  3008. Nice video overall, except for a few points: 1. We, Ukrainians, do not share our culture with Russians. Two totally different nations with different mentality and values. Russia tries to make it look like we are "the same people" though through centuries of propaganda and oppression, so thanks by playing to their hand on this one, I guess. 2. You totally butchered those Ukrainian presidents names. But it's OK, we don't hold them in high regard anyways. 3. I think there was a third point but I forgot it by the time I got here
    6
  3009. What will happen to all those MP5s? Where will they go?
    6
  3010. So it's just for the rich and famous to be safer. We the taxpayers will pay the bill and get nothing for it.bisnes as usual.
    6
  3011. "How did FPS Russia make it look so easy" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    6
  3012. When you were in Iraq or Afghanistan did you by chance make friends with the local female natives?....if yes, maybe you have a story or two too share 😁
    6
  3013. Hey V-sause who does your music editing? Ditch the this track please. Great content. Sucky music. :/
    6
  3014. That’s the best goat gun add I’ve seen xD
    6
  3015. Awesome update T&P. One thing dough, IRST is a PASSIVE tracking system, unlike RADAR, and it is designed to track aircraft not ground targets.
    6
  3016. I don't have much to give, but you have been absolutely pumping these out and they are so well done, well made, and well researched, you deserve more than just my views. Thanks Cappy, hooah.
    6
  3017. Thanks!
    6
  3018. I really enjoy these doctrine and philosophy videos! It really gets my goat 🐐🔫👍
    6
  3019. Many of the capabilities you highlight are M2A3 specific, not M2A2 ODS that Ukraine will get. IMO, I’d rather fight in an ODS in that environment especially considering maintenance/logistics.
    6
  3020. Video Ideas: Tar-21\Famas.
    6
  3021. I thought I had all the scents, since I bought about 20 different soaps last year, but I see in your sponsoring ad that there are new scents. I am opening their page as I type this, man, they even have a Star Wars soap collection. Damn you Kappy, you and your propaganda!
    6
  3022. I grew up in Bridgeport Connecticut home of the Thompson machine gun we made millions of them
    6
  3023. I love your videos bro
    6
  3024. Cappy, what was your actual rank in the Army? Seen you on video with a Captain's rank and enlisted. Inquiring minds need to know. Great site, sir!!
    6
  3025. this channel is freaking awesome <3
    6
  3026. Hey! He trashed 21 Pilots. It’s ok it was hilarious!!!
    6
  3027. first off the 45 is junk it has stopping on flesh, its trash on body armor, also it only holds seven shots seven. trash. also it really does not have much more energy then the 9mm, the bullet is subsonic, it does not even get to supersonic speeds.
    6
  3028. Do one on the history of camouflage.
    6
  3029. 8:59 yes cappy that training video was most likely fake, a video was uploaded by pla showing soldiers singing a song to their fallen and said all the personal in that video are military. Two of them were actors, china never cared about their fallen soldiers
    6
  3030. Thank you for slowing down the chatter!
    6
  3031. Wait till this guy hears about the American version
    6
  3032. The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) is a multilateral treaty adopted to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons in all its aspects. ▫ The main instrument for stopping nuclear weapons tests is the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10 September 1996.
    6
  3033. Wow, a Civ animation and a troll of Australia by confusing cricket and rugby.
    6
  3034. You’re a comical genius! Honestly though ,most military focused informative channels on YouTube have pretty dull presentation. Keep up the good work!
    6
  3035. Nice video! Danger close depends on the weapon system 300m for 81mm mortars; 600m for 155mm artilley; 2000m for MRLS Another little fact illustrating the importance/value of FOs is that generally you need at least squad sized target to call in a fire mission (81). One exception is if your target is an enemy FO. So in this case you can order a fire mission on a single person.
    6
  3036. yay new vid 🎉
    6
  3037. It looks sick AF. Hope it does some good! Slava Ukraini
    6
  3038. The rifle looks cool and all but all I see is when it comes to weapon services and repair its gonna be a pain in the ass since the weapon itself will likely have more parts on it which in turn will have more points of failure on it not to mention ordering repair parts
    6
  3039. 0:23 "Freezing cold of Bosnia"? Are you sure you know where Bosnia is? That's like saying the freezing cold of Missouri....it's not that impressive
    6
  3040. I loved the galil, It was my most used weapon in blops, the standard 35 round mag and low recoil made it one of the best rifles in the game, I pwned many a newb with it and also trolled many veterans when I attached a pro pipe (newb tube/grenade launcher) ah the memories, :)
    6
  3041. I can remember that we had A&B or A&O platoons. Assault and Battery or Assault and Obstacle, but the official name was Mobility and Counter Mobility platoon, or MCM. Still liked the A&B name.
    6
  3042. Since 1982, the Italian military have used the OD 82/SE: it can be set as either an offensive or defensive grenade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OD_82/SE
    6
  3043. Awesome historical review of the origins of the cartels. What a lesson on unintended conequences! First move might be to reinstitute that labour deal to allow Mexican workers to cross freely back and forth for work.
    6
  3044. Thanks for sharing about your past, and the inspiring story of you overcoming! I love the serenity prayer, and pray it myself!
    6
  3045. Keep up the good work Chris, definitely became my favorite military analysis channel.
    6
  3046. Hi there
    6
  3047. Polymer 3d printed cases.. is this a good thing, like what's the shelf life of ordinances?? Field resupply is a chopper throwing a printer at you. Or sorry no resupply at this time we got the wrong cartridges for the printer....
    6
  3048. Chris, You’re arms are hairy, sure... it just shows how masculine you are. 💪🏻
    6
  3049. Shout out to my favorite you tube channel from north of the border. Great content, objective views, simple (but funny) slap stick humor....keep it up Cappy. As a fellow former infanteer, I approve!

  3051. This is a nice write up and all, but can we get some acknowledgement of how you yanks took our lovely CADPAT design, and colored it grey? Those Marines of your's seemed to have shown it the love that it deserves, but CADPAT deserved better US Army. :(

(Not to mention brother in law who served same time as yourself, close friends etc) Military has always played it's part in my family, idk if it's fortunately or unfortunately to this point as the youngest Hickey generation of eligibility yet to join the armed forces. All the insight, way of thinking & subtle ques of inner working inside that career path is soooo freaking appreciated!! Still in limbo of my decisions, idk which way you tilt the scales but definitely has informed the decision process. Keep it up gangster!

  3068. I'm a little confused. I'm guessing this isn't armoured enough to combat MBT rounds or infantry anti-tank arms like cornet etc. So, why is this this better than a 105 Striker?? Is it only because its tracked?

  3069. South African guys called it a "Snotneus" (snot nose). No idea why. Lot's of equipment in the South African Army is designed with wide open flat country in mind, also massive distances.

  3070. I challenge this vid. in terms of cotton, nitric and sulfuric acid production... just cutting U.S. exports, and turning it towards munitions production, would significantly increase U.S. production of chemicals necessary for munitions production. The U.S. does not want to significantly increase munitions productions.
    6
  3071. Ah come on, demilitarised democracies may need a while to ramp up production, but in the end Russia only has a tiny industrial base. This head start will not last for long and the whole Russian economy is now based on state spending, recipe for disaster.

  3079. To me the ammo development is still the most interesting feature of most of these designs. But. Considering the designs themselves without ANY of them haveing saw conflict ANYWHERE is somewhat foolish and moot. Actual combat, even on a small scale,for a prolonged period of time would give the best indicator of which is the best design. Aside from actual test to utter destruction. For my own two cents though. I'd lean toward the more conventional Sig designs. It's conventional enough to NOT require too much of a retrain/retain period on its operation. And is put out by a company the U.S. military is already doing business with. However. The .338 offering......which I'm figuring is .338 Lapua to us civvies. Is interresting. But not something I'd ever wanna have to lug around along with belted rounds of ammunition. It's less like a true SAW and more like a slightly lightened LMG from WW1 or WW2. And I don't think that 7.62x51 is what we should be considering replaceing the most here anyways. As its had a fairly good track record at putting down bad guys and punching holes through light equipment for almost as long as the venerable .50 cal Browning. WITH THE PROPER BULLET/CARTRIDGE DESIGN combo!!! And most of its existing ammo and LMG weapon types are already combat proven and can be carried and fielded by one, two, or three, individuals effectively....if the situation merits it. Without necessarily needing 8 other guys and a pet monkey to help carry ammo.... alone. But the 40+ year old 5.56 on the other hand is a prime candidate for replacement. Especially when considering the fact that ANY future conflict could very well find the U.S. going up against peer group adversaries. Who's likely more numerous infantry will also very likely be wearing equivalent or better body armor and packing harder hitting, longer ranged, intermediate calibered rifles and carbines. Like those chambered in 6.5 or 6.8.. Of which both China and Russia have weapons/cartridge combos that they are either fielding on a limited or wholesale basis.

  3085. More great humor, 'nutsack.' Question about its casualty count: How can one know that the 249 is causing casualties when all small arms use 5.56 in the squad?
    5
  3086. Hey Cappy can you pls make more videos on Indian Army like especially on the procurement process. Like how the Indian Air Force still hasn't decided which aircraft to buy for 30 years. They are still in Competition 😅 And P75I submarine too. Our Red Tapeism makes US procurement very quick

  3087. Thanks for standing on the side of the truth.
    5
  3088. Is ACU a camouflage or uniform cut? I always thought that ugly grey digi was called UCP (universal combat pattern) And ACU (army combat uniform) was the design or cut of the uniform. Ie location of pockets and uniform material. I could be wrong. Anyone got some insight?
    5
  3089. We faced a .50cal threat, the head shed immediately provided a 90lb front and back ceramic armour kit they claimed would stop such a bullet. Rubbish says we. No No its been proved (by the manufacturer) says they and show us a video of a .50cal failing to penetrate. Ok says we, why wasn't someone wearing that plate when they fired a 900m/s - 12,000Joule bullet at it? Silence. Is it because that amount of energy would snap their spine, throw them 30ft down the road and create a shockwave sufficient to rearrange internal organs? Butt naked Celtic warriors dominated Northern Europe for 500 years wearing nothing but shapely tattoos - I'm just saying if the armour argument is circular, natural fighting is on its way back - the tattoos have already made a comeback.

  3092. You mentioned looking for IEDs in your service. With many drones, they still are IEDs. Many Ukrainian munitions are made of tape and 3d printing underneath commercial drones, so they very much are improvised and I believe there are a few Russian tanks that can confirm they are explosive devices.

  3094. I love the video. I actually watched a movie that was supposed to be very accurate to what happened there. I don't understand why the military seeks to make bases out of meaningless territory that they end up just pulling out of. Haven't they learned their lesson from Vietnam case on in different places that they fought people died and they still ended up losing ground and losing that area. Hats off to the men and women who fight these wars it's those who make the decisions that I'm worried about.

  3100. Good, detailed and intelligent comparison.
    5
  3101. Nice, you remade the video with more details on Textron's entry. What I'd like to see is a combination of Textron's ammunition and feeding system(and with their belt feed for everything) with General Dynamics' bullpup configuration and fat suppressor. And maybe SIG's reciprocating barrel for the machine gun. ...And a smaller caliber because that thing has 7.62 NATO-like recoil by my estimation.
    5
  3102. I'd tell you to stop making bad jokes and just talk about the weapons, but since the bad jokes got you to ten minutes, I guess there wouldn't be much of a point.
    5
  3103. I honestly liked his shirt more than the new guns, where can I get it?
    5
  3104. Considering the volume of rounds downrange that makes up most military doctrine, I'd be surprised if they didn't go for the lightest ammo option. The rifle is always going to weight a certain amount, as long as ammo is ballistic there comes a time where a rifle can be "too light".
    5
  3105. I would need to see the difference in the mag length with the 25 round and 30 round box magazine cause 20 rounds just seems to small for longer timed engagements.

  3122. Awesome video! Keep it up!
    5
  3123. Im watching it now and it’s going to be a good video I just know it
    5
  3124. I love you someone who talks deep on gun tec but calls hightec polymer, plastic.
    5
  3125. normally the brass in casings act as a heat sink by absorbing some of the chambers heat from firing before leaving the gun. with plastic none of that heat is absorbed and transferred, however you are reporting the chambers are cold to the touch after firing? that doesnt make a whole lot of sense did they explain how it worked? And if not I would have concerns of where that heat is building up and potential overheating from sustained fire.
    5

  3130. hey chris, why dont you make a video about the corruption in the ukrainian army? are you allowed to? and can you please also explain in your next video, why the defense of the luhansk oblast was so succesfull by the urkainian army?
    5
  3131. Interesting point about the mis-matched weapon and target. Funny they didn't do more after those tests. Chris, the music distracts. Recommend using it just for transitions, but not in the background for long technical stretches. Us old farts can't follow so easily!

  3136. Why does Cappy so rarely make videos about the war in Ukraine or Israel now?
    5
  3137. can i get a Hoah?
    5
  3138. The big issue with plastic cases is that they are thermally insulative instead of conductive, like brass is. This means that they won't absorb (sink) heat from the chamber and remove it from the system during ejection. HOWEVER, most heat in the chamber comes the burning propellent gas via the brass casing. This SHOULD mean that the chamber will take longer to heat up in the first place (since its primary source of heat is coming from the barrel), and more of that system heat is being pushed down the barrel, which would put more of a thermal load on the barrel. This means the barrel needs to be able to absorb more heat (usually more mass) and be able to dissipate more heat (like with fluting). An engineering challenge, sure, but doable. Rounds cooking off in the chamber was an issue with caseless rounds, because the chamber is being heated directly by the propellant gas (no case) and then the propellant block of the next round is coming into direct contact with the heated chamber.
    5
  3139. Hey, look at that, it's almost like a Jeep. :)

  3140. That's a nice voice you got there. Its nice you got it back.

  3141. You know what's funny I did a report on this guy in English class in 9th grade.
    5
  3142. 🤣
    5
  3143. How could they have confused the enemy drone for a friendly given the fact that they knew exactly which is which and all the advanced identification systems, and when the friendly was inbound vs anyone but a friendly, you can't mess that up, say you have only 5 incoming friendlies, what happens when the 6th and or 6th 7th 8th and 9th arrive after the 5? It's quite clear all those after the friendlies are hostiles and not Santa, they can't be anyone but the enemy or just not our own.
    5
  3144. You missed that Reinmetal contract with ammunition means all rounds must be made in France and no local production can occur for the next 30 years. So there is that.
    5
  3145. I loved the GOAT gun ad! The rest of the video was fine, too. 😆
    5
  3146. Bulgarian company Arsenal AD also sells a version of the PK in 7.62 NATO. It's also heavier than the 7.62x54r version even with a shorter barrel. The original PKP can swap barrels and in theory can interchange barrels with the PKM, but units that use the PKP aren't issued spare barrels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPDVS0d2LUE And no I can't remember how found that video.
    5
  3147. So, is it official now? Is Turkey thrown out of nato? Last I checked we were still in nato and we use pkm too.
    5
  3148. can you make a video on the as val or the fnc
    5
  3149. No. The marines ditched the saw quite a while ago for a fully automatic AR. But before that, the army officially changed the description of the saw from machine gun, to automatic rifle. Been that way for over a decade now.

  3153. I enlisted at the age of 20 in 2002 as a 19K (Tanker). Deployed in 05. Witnessed the transition from Amor Battalions to integrated battalions. Then got stop lossed on my deployment. Then when I was ETSing, I was supposed to go to an Armor NG unit here in East Texas and once I got there, was told I needed to reclass because now they were a heavy infantry company. Yaaaaay, joined the Army to not walk and ruck and here we go. Deployed with them as well. They were like two separate deployments. First I was deployed as armor but was also still doing infantry jobs, the second I was infantry but now doing the job of MPs at times. Although I will say, if I was to compare the two deployments; deploying with the NG was a joke compared to my AD deployment. Not fun of course and still people died, but crap man....Command was.............
    5
  3154. A few things. The Army/USAF did not know and still struggles with deployment. The USN/USMC does this routinely since…1775. They learned but it took too long. Unit rotation into and out of the war zone etc. but crazy 18 month deployments were entirely unnecessary and just reflected the lack of experience with deployments. It should be noted the the USN/USMC deployment in Peacetime exceed Army deployments in War but the Army had a total different mind set. The USN/USMC service reserves deployed routinely without much issue The SF was/is routinely misused in many of their missions but they get touchy when this is brought up

  3158. You should watch the documentary "The Mole: Undercover in North Korea". The North Korean leadership is very interested in capitalism. Especially when it comes to the production and sale of drugs and weapons. Anyone with enough dollars can get thermobaric weapons there without any problems.
    5
  3159. Very good vídeo. Was it cut shorth though? Feels you had much more to talk about and the video has no ending. I'm highly interested in this kind of info. Internet is full of people ignoring these important aspects of warfare. Keep up the good work, I love the channel. Wish you had a "separate" even more in depth series as you sometimes do!
    5
  3160. I'm liking the new content, keep up the old and keep up this new stuff too

  3161. By the way, trench warfare is not normal. It's what you get when both sides lack both tanks and air supremacy.

  3164. I’m trying to join the Air Force but at the same time when I announced to to my friends and family they think I want an easy experience and that I’m weak for not joining the army or coast guard. I personally want to join because they have more jobs available that fit what I’m interested in. But Idk I fell sometimes their right. What do you think?

  3165. wow a c&c red alert cutscene... man, you are one cultured snvbtch XD
    5
  3166. Do a video on the latest light battle tank that will be entering production next year... How it fits to the U.S. fight doctrine etc...
    5
  3167. Another terrific video, thanks. As a Vietnam veteran 11B4P, I still have a interest in what is happening in todays military. I have looked at a lot of gunship videos especially the night ones and have watched as heavy guns 20mm/30mm, which were developed for a war that never happened,so far, are wasted in shooting at enemy infantry. I would think that a fifty caliber minigun would be more practical as the gunships could carry many more rounds and saturate the enemy at a cheaper cost?? Your opinion ??
    5
  3168. I was stationed in Germany during the draw down. In the early 90s. You have no clue to the amount of 155 the ammo unit I was in shipped back. And I was on 1 ammo dump, they cleaned out 3 different ammo dumps.
    5
  3169. Thanks. Very informative. Soldier's stories are always good, first- hand. News abour the changing tactics in changing weather is always interesting too. Maybe you could do something on what soldiers do to keep warm and dry in the trenches and battlefield, specialist kit and weapons.

  3176. Superb piece Cappy. As always, your open minded investigative approach to this subject is very refreshing and welcome in this discussion. BZ
    5
  3177. This was one of the most informative and best researched of the videos I’ve seen you put out lately. Good job! It’s exhausting putting all those disparate sources together and then synthesizing them to make the information relevant to the viewer. Keep up the good work! 🫡

    5
  3185. If you switch from AK platform you deserve to get invaded
    5
  3186. What do you mean that NATO should stop messing around on Russians doorstep? that statement makes no sense when you know how NATO works. NATO is not forcing or asking countries to become members, countries apply for membership, shouldn't a free country be free to apply to what ever "club" they want to be a part of? Or do you believe that your neighbours has the right to decide what you chose to do? You opinion on NATO is spreading misinformation, NATO is NOT forcing membership on anybody, on the other hand they are turning down countries that are in conflict with among other Russia, which is also why Ukraine was not able to become a member, because they had a conflict with Russia in Crimea..... Anyways, we clearly disagree on this issue, and i dont think you should make it sound like NATO is going around forcing or asking countries to become members that is not the case, its a democratic alliance that you can apply to. BUT other than that, i really like your videos they are very informative, keep up the good work :)

  3187. I’ve heard a point that Blinken arrived to Ukraine not to reaffirm support but to inspect why Russia gained so much territory on Kharkiv direction so quickly despite West sending another aid package and to check whether it was spent adequately.

  3192. "The K10 is like an R2-D2, except it's not cute." Great, Cappy. Somewhere there is a K10 crying. Korea is also very mountainous, and all roads south are designed to collapse, so a DMZ crossing would be virtually impossible for NK on land. However, Seoul is pretty close in range for NK artillery and headquarters used to be based there, but they moved down to camp Humphries. But we're talking about Seoul, the capital, more than 10 million people within a few minutes of destruction. I'd imagine they would want to destroy the NK artillery threat as soon as possible. EDIT: Great ad, btw. lol

I wont go into speciffics, enought people have done so in the comments. I wont watch any further Videos of you, since i now cant be sure if what you say is true in any way or form. P.S. if you try to say a foreign word in a Video, please practice before you film it. Its not a "meschnschweier" its a "Maschinengewehr" and it was just soo far off its incredible.

  3200. The speech made me motivated

  3201. Dumbest idea I have ever heard, the hole purpose of a landmines is to blowup anyone messing with it and that thing looks big as hell, so I'm sure it will stand out "miles" away. So all I have to do to disarm it is shake/kick it around a bit. Lol. So they expect in all the army "wisdom and lighting fast speed" lol to detect moved close to the mine, call into head quarters, get approval to check it out, confirm what it is, call back into headquarters, headquarters get ahold of the guy to push the bottom, then the guy to push the button and they expect some bad guy to still be close to it. Lol that sounds like a all day thing to me.

  3202. Caffy, you’re not even my favorite soldier in your squad

  3203. The sensor system seems great but considering they stick out like a sore thumb and as mentioned it was taken. Within minutes. Imagine essentially having drones but for the ground that can pick up enemy movment. And these can be deployed for more then just defense. You can essentially yeet these from a plane or helicopter to be able to survey an entire battlefield or pehaps a patrol route to avoid ambushes
    5
  3204. M18s Clays are still the best... 250 vs 5k dolls ? That's why they are the favorite thing for Campers in games
    5
  3205. @taskandpurpose. I am not sure launching Camrys, even millions of them, at our enemies is quite the deterrent you think it is.
    5
  3206. Do you think long-stroke AR systems like HK416 fix the reliability problem enough to compensate for the extra recoil that comes with long-stroke weapons?
    5
  3207. How is it possible to do a video on a bullpup without addressing the MAIN issue - the difficulty faced by left-handers? Unless you enjoy having spent rounds ejected into your face you have a huge problem. Someone (I think the Belgians) addressed this by containing the spent cartridge and dropping it out the front underneath the barrel - the Israelis allow ejection either to the left or to the right. A major innovation - but how easy is it to switch? Can you pick up a "righty" and re-configure it in the field - or do they come out of the factory as right-handed or left-handed? (I actually looked that one up: "The Tavor has ejection ports on both sides of the rifle so it can easily be reconfigured for right or left-handed shooters. However, this process requires partial disassembly, so it cannot be quickly reconfigured while the rifle is in use").
    5
  3208. "I'll just stick to less controversial issues, like war." Goddamnit, I might actually care as much about falafel, (having once, happily, ordered φαλαφελ in Athens, for two euro,) as I do about firearm history... now I need to know more!

  3209. You are hilarious bro!

  3210. Israeli American and former IDF soldier here (who grew up in Bellmore, Long Island). First: It's not TAH-vor, it's tah-VOR (emphasis on the second syllable, as were most of the Hebrew words you mentioned). Second: When I served in 2009, the TAR-21 was just coming into service. Those soldiers who had it generally preferred the M-4. Though recent updates to the Tavor (like the X-95 and Tavor 7) have fixed many of the complaints since then. PS: Seals beat Spetznaz. Spetznaz beats IDF. When we trained with SEALs, the seals ran circles around Shayetet-13.

  3216. He never said that US provided Indonesia with arms support, only diplomatic pressure against the Netherlands which is exactly what happened.

  3217. Every few years some fancy new weapon or fancy new armour or fancy new uniform or some combination of the above comes out that's supposed to show us what the soldier of the future, the soldier of the 21st century will look like. And huge amounts of taxpayer money certainly goes into this stuff, but it never seems to ultimately lead to a soldier actually wearing or carrying any of it into battle though, instead when the sound of actual real battle calls it always, without fail seems to ultimately go back to sending in a dude in camo gear and a helmet with an M4, or some pretty small variation thereupon. If it ain't broke don't fix it I guess?
    5
  3218. You should do a video on is Canada ready for war? Spoiler, we definitely aren’t

  3225. I remember going to Iraq in 2005, without the up-armor, and then a year later with the up-armored vehicles and I felt a lot safer in the up-armored one but all that armor and e-sappis made my back ache something terrible. And we drove at 5MPH that last time......slow and painful won the race

  3229. Ukraine should definitely press it's advantages but also try not to overextend it's self again, even with all the partisans in North Luhansk the exact situation is unclear and Russia could still attempt to trap them with LPR militia support. As for Crimea I think the even the idea of Ukraine retaking Kherson is a bit of a stretch at this moment.

  3239. Played out 😴 If you want to do stuff from back then, howabout more from the Phillipines, 1898-1945? That part was cool, thanks! I always thought the last US Cav charge was in the late Indian Wars, or maybe the Poncho Villa pursuit.

  3240. HE LIVES

  3241. Btw, YouTube has unsubscribed me from your channel twice at this point. Had anyone else let you know about this?

  3247. You pointed out that attempting to make something difficult like a stealth jet has benefits to the technology base of a country. The US has been living off of the Cold War technology base for 60 years. It is difficult to name a single cash cow technology that sets the US ahead of the world that ISN'T descended from a Cold War military program. That is a tiny little fact that the "let's spend all of our money on our domestic programs" people are completely ignorant of. And trying to tell them will start a yelling match.

  3250. Great work and of my years spent exposed, it was a fight to get VA to help with my lung issues. I hope get gets better for others. Alls your video appears to have cut you off mid sentence and has done it before...just as an fyi.

  3251. 9:07 you got it reversed! 😂😂😂 please make correction asap 🙏 🙂

    5
  3267. Thank you for this accurate video
    5
  3268. I usually follow your content all the way from Iraq... However, this video shows your unequivocal bias towards Israel instead of being fair and covering the Israeli inhuman invasion and daily raids on Palestinian homes... Not counting the entire idea of less rockets meaning more goods allowed in (do you really believe that? In your heart of hearts, is this not collective punishment?).. Imagine, you're only allowed to eat if you don't retaliate when your home is constantly raided, your youth arrested, humiliated and killed at will.. You should be unbiased and fair, but in this video, you are absolutely not.
    5
  3269. Cappy, I didn't see you address it in this video so I don't know wether to take it as true or false confirmation of it, but I heard that Israel apparently stopped the roof knocking after October 7th, might be worth clarifying this in future videos if the topic involves it.
    5
  3270. Bruh "science" is biased more times than not, who cares what they said, it's not gospel. It's a good gun, but their are bs reasons against the M16 a lot.
    5
  3271. 3 crewmen seems like it’ll be smaller but as deadly so more tanks less people seems like a plus and a gun that can self detonate while the main gun is shooting at something else and it’s a new better engine this looks very very Nice😈😈👌👌
    5
  3272. Is there a reason the audio cut out at 17:50 - 17:53? The exact moment you say, "As a result. Israel received a lot of negative coverage...*cuts out*... At the same time"
    4
  3273. I know you are trying to present yourself as less biased but it's obvious that you support the Israeli side. Try to use better wording and try to present both facts equally because it seems like you are down playing the Israeli crimes.
    4
  3274. Aw yeah the baguette launcher.

  3275. Cappy, I never dreamed I would be or say, "I'm this old vet from the Vietnam era Took the oath on 14 Nov 69 for three years in return for the promise of 11B and Airborne Ranger. Waived my option for Ranger and made my way to SF as a medic. In spite of my effort to dodge Ranger school SGM. George Johnson thought it would be a good thing for my character development. You can find my smiling face on the Ranger School Training website in Class 02-72 picture. All this to say I really appreciate and enjoy your show. Keep up the good work soldier. Carry on!

  3294. Wow, this video was impressive! I'm sure immersing yourself back into armed conflict (even not as active military / just on the periphery) brought back all sorts of emotions! Being that you have the military experience, i'm sure you were able to decipher the situation using greater context and therefore appreciate the dynamics via more sophisticated perspectives. Again, SERIOUS props for getting yourself out there and doing the damn thing rather than just talking about it. In today's day and age, with "digital" access making us think we can know/feel/understand any situation without needing to actually be there, I think we're too often downplaying the vitality of real-life interaction and experiences. As human's we're meant to use all our senses to experience life-- something a computer or TV simply can't offer. I'm sure this experience will give you fresh perspectives on the situation there that years and years of studying it via articles or videos could simply never deliver. I hope more people, especially content creators, do stuff like this. Ultimately this trip will directly translate to your viewers benefitting due to the unique, holistic and authentic insights that could only really be garnered through real-life immersion. Sorry for the long-winded post! HAHA video just got my hyped! Hope you found the trip to be as fulfilling as I found this video interesting--> Incredible content!!!!

  3295. Chris Capelluto and Company does it once and again, with yet another awesome possum video, this time, on " The History of Military Body Armor". I AM Prior Service USMC and US Army ( 1987-1998), and, I do not remember ever wearing SAPI Plates underneath My PASGT Flak Jacket, Woodland Camouflage, issued with a Desert Camouflage Cover for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. One thing You Youngsters in The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard have are neat Uniforms, and awesome possum weapons and armor and equipment. Thank You Very Much, Task & Purpose.🇺🇸🦅🗽🔫🗡️⚔️💣💥🔥☠️💀

  3299. Bolts Chris, bolts. When they’re fired out of a crossbow they’re called bolts. I know. I can’t tell the difference either, but for some reason crossbow people get very angry when you call them arrows. My guess is, it’s kinda like calling a magazine a clip. 🤷‍♂️
    4
  3300. I have read the after action report or academic review which was done by the US military. Can't remember where I got this gem of a document. It sounds like the people on the ground where aware of the issues of having the OP in the wrong spot and other issues and where going to fix them up.... the next day. Unfortunately the Taliban hit them before they could fix these defense placement issues. Sometimes luck doesn't go your way.

  3301. Thanks!

  3304. SOF mission is very different and difficult, Green Berets are smarter. By the way Delta Force is the best. They pull senior NCOs from all military branchs, but only the right ones, not the best ones.

  3307. I like Textron, I don’t know why though.
    4
  3308. Like most of the commenters, I'm guessing SIG's gonna win, BUT...I see the potential of the ammo for TEXTRON's entry. IMO, the feed system is too fiddlely for the MILSPEC world, but with a bit more thought (and engineering), a better system can be had. P.S. -- the digital trigger is the way of the future; it just needs more 'hardening' before handing it off to Joe. ;-)

  3322. So you say that russia is capturing ukranian farming vehicles... then you say there are videos of tractors towing russian tanks... And your deduction is that ukranian farmers are towing tanks away from the russians as retaliation? Wouldn't it make more sense to believe that the russians are towing their own vehicles with those captured tractors?

  3331. Hi Chris! YouTube NEVER notifies me of your latest videos! (Must be because I like your videos!) I think others aren’t getting notifications as they should. Just a heads-up, Chris. Love your channel! Btw: I too got to shoot the H&K G-36! WOW! I happened to be at an outdoor range with 2 swat members of my local city. I had a Colt .45 long colt. They wanted to shoot my western revolver- had a 7” barrel. So, they gave me their G-36 to try. It had 30 rd see-thru mag. & single, 3 shot and full auto. I shot the entire magazine on full auto!😆 I sprayed everything but my target😆 but, I got to shoot a modern assault weapon on full auto!(probably bc it was 7.62 ammo)😆 That was a long time goal. This happened 6 yrs ago. Don’t know that they “adopted” this weapon!
    4
  3332. How can you be doing such a great job that you have better views than all the legacy media put together?
    4
  3333. Cool video but I feel like you should've mentioned the Air Force CCTs and their well known use of motorcycles. I mean you even have footage of them on this video. They toss the bike and themselves from a C-130 and once they land they use the motorcycle to prep the airfield. Can you imagine setting up a landing runway by foot, it would take forever.
    4
  3334. 1.1K views in just 2 hours, you make my 11B2P1G heart swell with pride for you. I’ve never felt all warm and fuzzy about the BAR, it’s a perfect example of equipping troops to fight the previous war. As soon as the MG-34 was spotted the US military should have been developing our own belt fed LMG. A belt fed LMG would have saved quite a few American lives in WWII and Korea.

I think that’s what I seen on your other video lol. I was just wondering, idk but when I heard about the 3 new rifles, I was thinking🤔, where is the m27? Lol.

  3355. Thanks for this fun report. I have always been fascinated with the Mongol Art of War. They were defeated by their own in-fighting among themselves. We had the ALICE gear in Vietnam, which I switched to the Australian web-gear that I liked better. Our plastic canteens made the tropical heated, tepid water taste awful, so we used pre-sweeten kool-aid to take away the taste of plastic and halzone tabs.

  3364. What a Surprise...today is also a day when pakistan surrender to india in 1971 war with their 93000 Soldier's ..... That was the biggest surrender since WW2 😇😇😇😈😈😈

  3366. You need a better mic.

  3367. one machinegun in its path, and it is over!
    4
  3368. Seem like a rapid battle taxi, faster than those M113 we had. The Bradley guys would drive up and through the objective. Us 113 guys would dismount 3 to 5 clicks back and maneuver up to and through objective. We could call on the tracks for their 50 cals and rapid evac if needed. I was always saying getting ambushed in a M113 would suck. If they use them for rapid movements and not assault I can see them being good.

  3369. Re upload gang boys!!!!!

  3370. Love your vids bro

  3371. You forgot to mention that with those gently curved and elegant lines, it's also an incredibly beautiful aircraft.
    4
  3372. I think a Canadian did something like that in ww2
    4
  3373. Definitely interested in a video about platoon setup.
    4
  3374. Marine vs Army set up would be interesting
    4
  3375. I just noticed your new logo . Looks cool 🎉
    4
  3376. I love the vid but a small net above the sleeping quarters is not going to protect against a 200kg drone moving over 120mph.

  3377. Lol Germans in the comments having a melt down.

  3378. PKM > M240

  3379. 2:44 Dyanamics? Spelling error.

  3380. Very cool. Makes ya wonder what they’ve got we’re not allowed to see...
    4
  3381.  @Taskandpurpose  Ahhhhhh, my bad amigo. That makes more sense. I was wondering how you spent a whole day in the library researching future ammo 🤣 I'm a dumbass.
    4
  3382. How much are you guys being paid for push the 6.8mm? It's like the last 5 videos are about 6.8mm weapons.
    4
  3383. I don’t think those plastic rounds would be practical enough yet due to manufacturing and also General growing pains that we get with every new rifle we are seeing the M14’s growing pain when everyone realized oh this God is not good for fully automatic but is perfect for semi automatic and can be still used for above average rifleman you can kind of use it as a sniper rifle / and again with the M-16 how are use the jam all the time but on the other hand Donald Trump wants the space force to be a thing it might be a perfect round to give them after we make the special spaceships that are design to deal with combat situations like when China and Russia puts missile defense systems on there satellites / send those Space special forces to infiltrate anomie satellites and then crash them into targets on the ground that round bring so light Will be perfect for bring it up to space

  3384. great video my man! keep up the good work!

  3385. Thanks bro , INDIA IS NEXT SUPER POWER

  3386. Such a well done & informative video👍
    4
  3387. Finnally a video about my country
    4
  3388. This upload schedule is actually fire
    4
  3389. Really welcomed the absence of "switch to comedy" cuts. Love your content and style of presentation but the comedy bits distract from the (important) topics.
    4
  3390. I wish all tv news channels were as factual and impartial as your video is. Outstanding quality. So easy to understand, so many facts without feeling overwhelming or like a a secret agenda is being pushed. FOX news could learn a lot from your channel ✔️👍
    4
  3391. I want one. Ok. I'll wait 'till they go into mass production and the prices come down. Great video. This explains a lot!
    4
  3392. I love that this video keeps giving a pistol to a PFC instead of the SGT
    4
  3393. He never said they were being sent $61B in cash. Learn to listen, bro.
    4
  3394. Loving the constant uploads sir!!!
    4
  3395. Do a video on the Imbel IA2 assault rifle from Brazil. It would be interesting to see a high quality video on it
    4
  3396. Love your stuff🌞🌞. Does “ range” limit naval ships. Don’t fueling craft travel with every group ? Or else the shortest range ship would limit the group. And, we see refueling of military jets all the time. Otherwise the F 35 would be severely limited
    4
  3397. Never mind this thing obviously being an already out dated hunk of shit. I'm more interested in what naval tactics the Chinese dreamt up to use with this thing. Cus the Chinese definitely have a rich naval tradition involving fixed wing carrier platforms lol
    4
  3398. Make a video on Goegia 🇬🇪 (country) already please
    4
  3399. Love me some task and purpose vids
    4
  3400. Learned a lot here as far as things fit together. The point about Mossadegh was totally missed by me. I like you balanced look at the issue and you point on decades of small, trust building agreements is well stated. Thanks, Cappie!
    4
  3401. Good stuff sir, I remeber learning about this as a Political Science student at Texas State in the 2000s. This was one of many topics that I came to undestand were so complex. Also was the lesson where I came to learn concepts of "Blowback" and "Lynchpin"
    4
  3402. That ending seemed like it cut you off.

  3403. Wow you’re a Queens guy? Me too born and raised South Jamaica/Springfield Gardens

  3404. "Elusive" 6.5mm Creedmoor? Precision rifle shooter know this cartridge really well.
    4
  3405. Biggest tip to not lose your mind: Live day by day, hour by hour. Don't think about what'll be going on after you graduate, think about what they'll be serving for chow tonight (unless it's an MRE). Thinking about the future doesn't help in basic, the best thing you can do is mentally and physically prepare yourself for the next day.
    4
  3406. You removed the worst military video game review
    4
  3407. Great job, Chris! (Yes, we know all content providers well enough to call them by their first names. Why? I don’t know. It’s called Science). If T&P fires you, they should hang it up. Unless you are T&P, which .... oh, a joke. I keep banging the same drum (it’s a nice one) that your blend of humor and info plus the intangible charisma (too snowflake?) really elevate this channel. I enjoyed the subject (and know it’s true) but whatever you provide in the right blend, I’ve enjoyed. Keep up the good work! Oh, and the closing tag line - you needed one, and I think you found it. 👍🏼
    4
  3408. Hey Cappy, What do you think of sending F16 along with A10s. I feel as if A10 would help a lot with trench warfare.
    4
  3409. Sorry thats wrong. The latest estimates was that Putin had sent in 2/3rds of the Russian Army to date.
    4
  3410. I love these contents bro keep them coming. Any deeper analysis type of vids such as history of it all on the 1st Squad channel?
    4
  3411. calling 338 norma mag ".50 cal" power is really false. 50 cal is more than twice the energy and twice the bullet weight.

  3412. Russian accent - 10. Southern accent- 6.

  3413. They got rid of my beloved OH-58d Kiowa Warrior. I love that airframe. My MOS was supposed to transfer to the Commanche

  3414. Now make videos about FARA and FVL programs. HELICOPTERS ARE AWESOME!
    4
  3415. Great channel medically retired from the infantry 2 years ago as a E7
    4
  3416. As a Lakota who has seen the 7th cavalry standard in person, it makes me proud you mentioned us.
    4
  3417. watching this channel grow from 5k followers is really nice to see
    4
  3418. An excellent video. The more mature cav among us love to refer to the infantry as crunchies (you can guess why). I thought it was armour first then infantry as it should be who else is dumb enough to give us a push when we run out of fuel lol
    4
  3419. Us history nuts love your summery, but you forgot that the palaphax (spelt it wrong) was a evolution of the hoplite, and the hoplite used 8 to 9ft spear.

  3421. Great video again, Good Sir! Very informative and accurate!!!
    4
  3422. This military history gives me a hard on
    4
  3423. My biggest gripe with the Modern US Military is that despite calling themselves the "Department of Defense", I cannot think of a single war fought on american soil (Defending t he United States from hostiles.) and also the fact that they have a really shady past along with the entire US government (operation northwood, blackwater PMC, lying about WMDs in the gulf war, targeting developing middle eastern nations, protecting oil drills just to increase the GDP, etc)

  3424. Where Ukraine update episode 8 it has been more then a month for ** saks

  3432. Great reporting Cappy! Semper Fi!
    4
  3433. A non-belt fed "machine gun" isn't a machine gun. Its just a rifle with (maybe) a longer barrel.
    4
  3434. I like learning about new guns being introduced to the military. its interesting seeing where we are going with new technology and designs for guns.

  3439. There is a navy SEAL out there called chadd w... And he uses iron sides up to 300 meter's!

  3440. While the Russians treat their soldiers like cows, we the Chinese nowadays don't. Casualties like what the Russians are suffering are simply not acceptable in China.
    4
  3441. Love THIS channel!! The fact that you are able to inform, entertain and admit mistakes and laugh it off is so fucking OUTSTANDING?!!! Too many channels take themselves too seriously?!!! Carry On!!!
    4
  3442. "M14 !!!! PRECISION KILLING MACHINE " !!!!......had to yell this as loud as humanly possible ( although, at the time, I was a slimy maggot..and not even close to being a human being).. every morning. USMC (Hollywood) PLT 3098 , Sept -Nov 1971....the very last series to drill and qualify with it.

  3447. Great video! Your flow in these breakdown vids has improved a lot since your first ones! Always love listening to these tech/gadget takes and hearing your opinions on them. This first version of the super secret spider bomb seems like an expensive solution looking for a problem to solve. #SavetheClaymore

  3448. I gather that gatling guns also need time to get up to speed. No FTL for guns yet.
    4
  3449. Great job compiling and summarizing the information for us CC!
    4
  3450. Has it actually flown yet?
    4
  3451. Cappy, I’m sorry but I’m going to have to disagree with you at the 8:51 mark. I typically call stealth bomber strikes in all the time ! Especially when I’m noob tubing.
    4
  3452. On a sidenote: Odoo is really nice product. Kuddos to have them as a sponsor. 😁👍
    4
  3453. Are patches their version of challenge coins?
    4
  3454. I'd heard the canard that both Israel and the US manufactured Hamas, but that's clearly disinformation. Thank you, Cappy, for the clarity - and for pointing out those who are using this horror for political gain.
    4
  3455. Bias
    4
  3456. Why are you using the Chinese flag at 3:09?
    4
  3457. awesome to see Justin back
    4
  3458. Because 7.62x39 is an outdated and inefficient cartridge
    4
  3459. Well you forgot something, cappy...: you left out the "S" in what's supposed to be "AKS-74U". Though i may be nitpicking.
    4
  3460. 1st view technically since task and purpose and his alt channel watched it first
    4
  3461. I echo many of the previous comments on where you are going with this channel. You are really doing a great job! Now on to more important things... where'd you get that T-shirt and who's the guy in that song clip at the end?!
    4
  3462. Well I think it's a step in the right direction and is required if we are ever to see Heinlein-esqe Mobile Infantry power armor.
    4
  3463. Task & Purpose Don’t you dare underestimate the Russians with an exosuit they have the ultimate fuel of Vodka to power them

  3464. Great content and humorous as usual you hope you guys will hit 500k subscribers soon and 1 Mio asap, you guys deserved it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    4
  3465. What about making it available for the sniper who uses the Barrett 50 caliber.
    4
  3466. Hey bud nice video and all but maybe check the full video before you upload it. You repeat pretty much the same sentence twice at 11:27 and 12:15 (you cant of course notice the exact same thing twice you silly goof) and forgot to cut out the audio when repeating your line at 13:55
    4
  3467. When are you going to do a video on 5th gen aircraft? Maybe a simulated situation between 4 F-35's and 6 J-20's?
    4
  3468. Yay task porpoise upload
    4
  3469. I love your channel keep up the good work bro.
    4
  3470.  @Taskandpurpose  why do you look 10 years younger in this video? You’re clearly not drinking enough.
    4
  3471. I had the pleasure of shooting the m1911 in 2 ID HHC 1st Bg., TDC Korea 86/87, a officer said come here and shoot this; (On the Range) I did. I could not even fathom the nostalgia. I knew of the stopping power from WW2 experience of it. Anyways, it's a legend.
    4
  3472. excuse me what did you just say about twenty one pilots ;-;
    4
  3473. I've only watched a few of your videos and I'm enjoying them. Your presentation is creative and the production quality is very good. The information ... well, you're reporting the news, not responsible for the accuracy of the information. A lot of other people in positions of authority within the US Military are only anecdotally aware of ballistics and weapon mechanics, particularly evident in this video. If you're a TL;DR, you can stop here The US Military as a group of organizations knows practically zero about handguns. Specific members know a great deal about handguns and have been instrumental in educating the shooting public. However, the organizations are not listening to them and are making gun decisions for other reasons than how they function. All of the things mentioned on the reason the Sig P320 was chosen are not special, in fact, Sig is rather late to the party on many of them, having resisted change until the past year or so. The proprietary rear sight set-up as an example, specific to only the M17/M18 variants, only makes it easier to attach the Sig Sauer optic and makes it difficult to mount other (better) optics except for the Leupold because of its similar geometry. In fact, the only benefit to the P320 design (which they're being sued for copyright infringement for) is the ability to remove the removable mechanical group and mount it into a chassis to give it a completely different mission profile. Otherwise, their design is a convoluted interpretation of the M17 program's parameters. You know damn well that the pistol you get issued is in the configuration you are stuck with. No armorer is going to swap out parts to make it easier to deploy, they'll just swap out pistols IF you've filled out the right forms and are in a duty assignment calling for that specific set-up. So, the "modularity" as interpreted by Sig will never come into play in the way it has been sold.

  3474. 😂 My brother was watching this earlier and showed me the twenty one pilots joke just to make me mad since they're my favorite band, lol. It didn't work; hearing those kind of jokes is nothing new to me, lol.😁😊 This video was really interesting though, and this isn't the kind of stuff I usually watch.☺

  3481. Where is da intro?
    4
  3482. I was thinking, you really are an average infantryman but now I'm starting to wonder if you aren't just a super advanced AI (you know the ones with the robot voices that do far less well researched videos). Have we been fooled? Also - pronounced Martin Mary-ET-TA - think city in Southern Ohio

  3483. This was going to be my MOS, then decided to go for 18 Bravo (my brother recommendation for both). Then....couldn't join any branch because my eyes.

  3493. 4:15 very long and natural use of that italian hand gesture, Cappy
    4
  3494. So its hard to be replaced because: 1. its fast: In which case exactly is this an argument? You can develop new Vehicles which are fast as fuck. There comes a problem with that... where is the protection compared to the bradley or the Weapon with a stabilizer or the ATGM mounted to the Turret. Well there is non so yeah that comparison is a little bit mhm. I mean you can refit it but yeah bye bye Speed. 2. firepower and situational awarness: More modern vehicles can give you more Firepower (LYNX, Puma, Boxer with Lance turret) and even older once do. You have an fu*king 30mm CLIP FEEDED Rarden "Autocanon" which is not even stabilized and the vehicle has not even a ATGM. and situational awarness, nah i dont think so when there isnt even a NV system integrated and more modern vehicles have much more modern electronic systems. 3. historic wartime performance: Ok now what? The Bradley had too. So did the BMP 2. But systems are getting old and more modern tech comes. You cant just upgrade an existing Plattform to the no go until it wont drive anymore. At sometime you have to build a new platform even if it did a good job. The Leopard 2 will get replaced by the MGCS in some decades even if the leopard 2 was a potent tank it has to be replaced reaching its upgrade limit. 4. potential of upgrading it: Yeah well read point 3... They tried it but in favor for a new more modern System which will fit the new Reform more they cancelled it and the Warrior will get replaced. And now to the Ajax: There is no Ajax IFV variant, just an APC variant (ARES) or the Recon Variant which is not an IFV (AJAX) Is it better than the Bradley?: Well which version are we talking about? Is no stabilizer but 5mm more on the gun better? Not really. Lets shit on those 5mm when you have a tow on the standard model. There is no NV system? Another negative point for the warrior. Its not that armored compared to the Bradley? well another point for the Bradley. So what are the pros of the Warrior in my eyes? Its fast, small and can carry one more guy. I like the warrior but it reached its point of destination like the Bradley will or the Marder did

  3498. I didn't know you used to be a user. Respect, Brother Veteran.

  3499. Hi Cappy, I love the mix of videos you are posting. Hope you have a great day. :)

  3502. Dude said foot patrols with the 240 were impossible. Lmaooooo

  3503. Wake up babe, new cappy video
    4
  3504. Yeah....ever see the movie 12 Strong?
    4
  3505. Task & Purpose your channel is extremely underrated
    4
  3506. We should root for the communist? Duck off
    4
  3507. Great video love the sound!
    4
  3508. You made every comparison to Soviet era vehicles and totally ignored things like the Ural ATOM, Bumerang, T-15, SBA-60K2 (And other similar 6X6's), or the fact that the Nerehta AUGV is being employed more and more. You make it sound like the RU forces are antiquated......seems like propaganda to me bro.

  3509. A tip, crazy knife guy. LEARN how to use the knife you are carrying.
    4
  3510. I was a boatie most of us were knife addicts. Customs, benchmades, Gerber's, leathermans, and Glock knives. I loved it. Now it's just me and my ratmandu.
    4
  3511. Lol... when I was deployed in Afghanistan i always carried a knife with me it was practically glued to my leg...good times and good video
    4
  3512. The knife with cereal made me laugh

  3513. I have that exact Benchmade

  3515. LOVE YOU CAPPY

  3516. As with most things the real reason is politics, it is still an excellent weapon and while the 9mm gets a bad rap it really is a very highly effective round. The M4 has a lot of political backing thats why its used.

  3517. Cappie more like Cappie-bara with all that hair on his arms. love the content

  3522. Ummmm, most likely becauae he and his group didn't want to be turned into worm food would be my guess.
    4
  3523. @Task&Purpose can you make a content about Philippine insurgency and the current EDCA between our country and yours?
    4
  3524. First of all: 5:14 👍👍👍 Also, thanks information about Excelsior 👍
    4
  3525. We have the same cutlery. Did your wife make you get rid of yours after moving in together, too? Never thought to attach it to my rifle. Another reason to invest in a torch...

  3526. Please update this video with what we are seeing in Ukraine now!

  3527. I disagree with Jon Stewart on 99% of topics. But I have to thank him for taking up this issue. Despite my disagreement with his politics, I definitely think he is a good man.
    4
  3528. I want to say thank you for all the effort you put in today's amazing segments especially the little comical interludes your family portrait of you stuck in the fire at home legendary it's legendary
    4
  3529. Very interesting facts on the PLA that I didn't know. I would love you to war game a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. It would have to start with a preemptive strike on US Pacific bases. Where would it go form there and could China realistically achieve a successful beach landing with waves of anti ship missiles and nuke powered attack subs to deal with?
    4
  3530. Best ad 👏.
    4
  3531. There were specialized versions under consideration and some unknown bureaucrat decided to lump them together into one. The only known explanation why he would do this is that he didn't know any of the science behind it. No one challenged the decision as apparently everyone assumed the other guy knew something they didn't.

  3532. Man, your stuff is golden, more than your numbers suggest. Must be that 5 bil camo hiding the true numbers.

Marines know that you don't rotate the cylinder with your hands, you use your testicles. That's why the openings are 40mm in diameter... to fit their 40mm testicles.

  3550. Going in/out of Kinmen island actually goes through China’s territorial air and water space (12 miles offshore of China mainland) because of Kinmen’s location (tucked inside a bay surrounded by Chinese territory on 3 sides). That could be a problem if China decides to flag down Kinmen traffic while in Chinese territory.

  3557. Great points on the challenges of trench warfare and discipline. Most folks write off the complexity of fighting from trenches based on a disdain for it in WW1, but the fact is, WW1 simply illustrated that properly made field fortifications were simply linear forts. Just a long, dirty castle really, and posing the same intimidating features as "storming a castle". Another well-presented discussion Cappy, BZ.

  3573. The future of light machine guns will be just normal rifles like the hk416 which already are light can fire for a really long time at a rate of 900rpm at that point all you need to do is use a bigger mag. If recoil would ever be a problem you can always just copy the ak107 and put a big mag into it. There is currently very little reason to use higher power ammo because modern armor plates are so stupidly good a much better option is to just fire normal ammo but much faster with less recoil to hit the non armored parts of soldiers.

  3579.  @Taskandpurpose  We could easily have a 2 man tank too, but we've figured out that the task loading is too high and 4 men actually is pretty optimal for a tank as complex and large as the Abrams. Auto loaders are notoriously unreliable- and Russian ones used to have a bad habit of eating arms. But more importantly when you give up 1 or 2 crew men you have fewer to do all the myriad tasks you have to do to keep the tank going, like rotate to an observation post, pull 24 hr security, and pull maintenance...esp. tough tasks like changing or fixing track.
    3
  3580. Abrams-the best tank, not nearly, most likely avarage and slightly above avarage with the latest upgrades. American tankers best trained in the world is much more likely. Look at saudis, they clearly have no clue on how to use a tank, and their M1s burn left and right, while UAE soldiers are happy with their computerised Leclercs and sustained only minor casualties. So, most likely, it's not Abrams itsef, but it's crew made it so succesfull. Some say, if during the "desert storm" US tankers were crewing saddam's T72 and iraquis-M1s, americans would still win.

  3583. I enjoy how the context in your videos are well thought out and on to the point. Since you are making videos about this war quite a bit, As a constructive criticism I would suggest you to spend half an hour of your time to learn how Russian and Ukrainian alphabets are pronounced (only a couple of letters are different looking). This way you can read literally anything in those languages, including location names, without any mistakes since the letters' pronunciation never changes in both languages.

  3586. This is what I’ve been saying from the very get-go. This is a battle over economical and natural resources. If you’re looking for a natural land barrier that Russia can occupy, I still believe over the months ahead, that they will take over half of Ukraine all the way to the dnieper River.

    3
  3596. He is completely right. Sometimes keeping things simple is more effective. Besides what are you going to do when you are carrying a third arm. Then you have to fall to the ground. You're going to have to push that thing out of your way to crawl anywhere. I think it is completely impractical. Making or weapons now smaller lighter and more powerful is the best option.

  3597. Didn't even mentioned that during WW2 the USSR was only country that issued body armor to soldiers. https://avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-pdb/1936789/a0414f77-0fc5-4370-afc2-ef3cb23e0abf/s1200?webp=false https://forums-su.com/download/file.php?id=2856163&mode=view/8540.jpg https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/122076/122320056.7f/0_d18db_feb97c70_orig

  3598. I wonder what a 5.56x45 could do with the case design and operating pressure similar to the 6.8x51? Or a 6.8 SPC with those specs? Then they could have a 6.8 light and 6.8 heavy. That case design and pressures could cause a new revolution of effectively wildcatting longtime cartridges. If so, maybe we could call it Hellcatting from then on? Then do the same to the 8.6 and call it the Demon. 👹

  3612. I think it's whomever the guy with numbers and the guns that is living around you 24/7 is ultimately going to be the one the scared locals are going to ally with - or at least not pick a side. If police here in the US literally pick up their spouse and kids and move to gang run neighborhoods and live their 24/7 and build trust in the community, then that community will inevitably aid the good guys with guns in getting rid of the bad guys with guns - and it's the same situation in a place like Afghanistan. We've been there for twenty years and despite our numbers and tactical advantages we don't have technology that can see through mountains. We don't have mind reader psychics that can tell us who the bad guy is and who the good guy is. We don't have the tools to reshape this asymmetrical guerilla war that favors our enemy into a kind of war that would favor us - and under no circumstance would I advocate for families of US servicemen to move to Afghanistan. That's a good way to get abducted and beheaded. In my opinion that's where we're left at. Westerners don't belong in the Middle East, at least not yet. We don't belong there any more today than when the Crusader armies waged war there centuries ago. Our 24/7 world is the first world where we have peer adversaries building up their forces to challenge our supremacy while we are focused elsewhere. The past twenty years would make an excellent section in Sun Tsu's Art of War of how NOT to wage war.

  3615. If you want to know a bit more why French infantry choices were so dumb. There is a good start """It is especially limited by its long-standing presupposition of underestimating human capacities. According to the article in the Encyclopédie written in the mid-18th century by the philosopher Jaucourt, the French soldier was recruited from the vilest part of the nation1. From the Restoration onwards, he was no longer even a volunteer, but was drawn by lot from the poorest and most uneducated backgrounds to spend six to eight years in the army. The term "just between man and thing" was used. The idea persisted for a long time of the low intellectual or moral value of the "simple" soldier and this had considerable strategic consequences. The first - and this was particularly the case in France, at least until recently - was that it was considered of little use to push technical training very far. Before the First World War, artillerymen serving the 75 mm gun only learned three types of fire during their time in service, whereas the war would show that they were capable of mastering more than twenty. In the same way, it was considered that the French infantryman was necessarily a mediocre shooter and no particular effort was made to raise his level, preferring collective shooting. Under these conditions, and although prototypes of automatic rifles, i.e., those that could be rearmed on their own, existed before the Great War, they refused to equip the men with them in order to avoid the waste of ammunition that would result unnecessarily from this high rate of fire. The under-armament of French infantrymen was a constant in the 20th century, with the human cost that one can imagine. It was not until 1938 that the first machine pistol appeared, albeit a mediocre one. It was not until 1938 that the Viet Minh units had more firepower than ours that a new generation of light weapons appeared, but they missed the revolution of the assault rifle, which was not adopted until the end of the 1970s - among the last modern armies. This limitation is also considered to be moral. In 1914, the French command was convinced that there would be about 15% of draft evaders, but only 0.4% of them would be mobilized. He refused the parachute, convinced that the pilots would take advantage of it to escape from combat by jumping. In the autumn of 1914, he was wary of the appearance of these "humanitarian" trenches whose "comfort" would inevitably lead to a softening of the situation if care was not taken. The attacks were therefore multiplied, as deadly as they were often useless, in order to maintain the "momentum" through incessant charges. The French infantry thus ended 1915 terribly bruised and exhausted, on the verge of collapse. It was only at this point that they began to take into account such necessities as rest and recognition through awards such as the Croix de Guerre. At the time of the mobilization of 1939, the postulate was more or less the same, but with an opposite effect, since this time the soldiers were not asked to do too much, especially during training, convinced that they would not be able to bear it. This conception of a moral gap between the officer corps, heir to aristocratic values, and the rest of the troops has not necessarily disappeared completely. In 1989, one of my instructors at the Joint Military School introduced the ethics and deontology course by saying that ethics was what differentiated the officer from the NCO. Another consequence is that with this vision of man, to form an acceptable soldier requires time. Since the 19th century, the French command has estimated that it takes a minimum of two years to train an acceptable soldier and units capable of conducting offensive combat, which is considered the most complex. This is one of the reasons why the French active-duty officer corps fiercely opposed Jaurès' militia army project, neglected the reservists and switched from the hyper-offensive doctrine of 1914 to an increasingly defensive doctrine as the length of service was reduced between the wars.2 Even Colonel de Gaulle, who had been a member of the French army since the Second World War, was not a member of the French army. Even Colonel de Gaulle, when he envisaged his rapid reaction armoured force in 1934, did not conceive that it could be served by conscripts. It took the experience of the Second World War and the examples of armies created from nothing, such as the American army, to understand that it was possible to build effective units, including armoured divisions, in less than a year, starting from nothing but with an appropriate""" organization""""" It is from Michel Goya a French Colonel . French army has always seen his infantry as good-for-nothing meat shield and honestly the camo was not the worse problem for the ww1 conscript. The utter lack of competence coming from French officer corps was way much more lethal than color of clothes. Actualy french green camo were tested in 1910 http://www.maquetland.com/article-2485-france-1911-tenue-reseda-paris But yea the boomer of the officer corps never actualy adopted it for dumb fucking aesthetic problem and also because of the fear of not seeing the soldier the command in the battle field becaus they were mentaly blocked in Napoleonic wars. And NGL the fact that higher up were co opted by freemanconery (grand orient de France) for political purposes and not skill and merits explain a lot of the problematic in 1900 french amry and the the sacking of 40% of generals in ww1.

Yea the mg338 might be a little lighter but the rounds are almost double that of 7.62×51.the purpose of a belt feed crew served machine gun is to provide support and suppressing fire if you want arounds on foreheads at 2000+ that's why we have snipers. 0331 you know if you know the 240 was my baby I would take her anywhere

  3628. Also I bought H&K mags for my M4 during Iraq. They weighed more, but I never have a feed issue like I would with Army issue mags. So yeah mags from the arms room aren't the best option. Now plastic mags are my choice. But I still got my H&K mags for plinking with my AR15.

  3629. Safety briefs are awesome! Said no one ever. Lol. I broke up with my M4 when that home wrecker FNH Scar came into town along with her foreign cousin the AK-74. Lol. Yes, I said AK-74 and not the well known AK-47. I do, however, like the latter one mention.

  3631. There might be genuine feeding & extraction problems with polymer casing - the idea is good but at high rate of fire polymer might be scratched and deformed on the surface or warped due to barrel heat ... So no matter what the material type needs to be researched and developed for efficacious & 100 % headache free performance - I dont think it is a simple chage over to plastic ... As for 6.8 caliber - its a compromise at the end and all feeds backs are positive so far However I dont think it will effect eastern block conventional production and lead to a change from 7.62 as billions of brass cased rounds are in the waiting to be spent . However for West this is merely experimental and there wont be a full stop any time soon either.

  3632. Chris Capelluto, did You ever, as an Army Infantry Soldier, get a chance to attend and graduate from RANGER School? Just asking. Meanwhile, this is a great video, Again, on the Next Generation 6.8mm Service Rifle ( NGSW). I will miss the M16A2 and M4A1 Weapons Systems, but, Task and Purpose, The Marine Corps and Army, as well as Special Operations Forces, need new Infantry Rifles. Thanks Again, Young Man. John Rodriguez, Roger Out!!🇺🇸🦅🗽🔫❤️
    3
  3633. It seems neat, but how does the steel base of the Sig 6.8 improve power? Intrigued that you may, but skeptical that you can.
    3
  3634. With Textrons bid, why does it have to be so complex? I don’t get it - why not just make a modified M16/M4 variant that uses the new 6.8mm telescoped round? There’s nothing wrong with that. The M16 by itself is already a very light weapon system, so it’s not like the military would actually care if they did that. If anything, the design that they went with is arguably worse than what we currently have, because of the possibility of bigger costs, and less reliability as a result of its complexity. Not to mention that from the current prototypes that they have hold like 20 rounds, as opposed to the standard issue 30 round mags that the M16 uses. Tell me, what’s the point of replacing 5.56x45mm bullets with a lighter and more advanced round if you can’t even carry as much of it in magazines? Shouldn’t the magazine capacities be in the 30’s? I mean that’s why we originally changed from the 7.62 to the 5.56, because soldiers could carry much more of it. I know that the rounds are supposed to be bigger than the 5.56, but even with the experimental HK G11 (which was a similar idea using caseless ammunition), even that had much bigger ammo capacities per magazine (45-50 rounds). And that was during the Cold War, so what’s Textrons excuse?

  3639. The comment about being crushed by the ramp of a Stryker is awesome. I was there in 04 to 05 and at first we rolled in what we could get be it tardek kit humvees, mad maxed five tons, or my personal favorite humvee we got that just showed up one day and had a bullet hole in it. Then towards the end of the deployment the strykers just started bringing us in with them. That is an awesome vehicle but it can jack some stuff up. First, all the metal finish on everything will be worn off. Then you have to reevaluate the placement of everything on your gear because it will get snagged. For some reason that darn rhino arm for the PVS14 seemed to be the exception. I wish it still was now. Finally, you could rely on every PFC that drove those things to have one mode, either stopped, or pressing the pedal all the way to the floor. Oh the good ole days.

  3641. Stop shitting on 5.56x45mm; realistically no one’s going after targets at 800 meters unless you have a long range sniper rifle. 5.56 gets the job done; they’ve already made next-gen ammo that makes 5.56 hit harder at longer distances. WTF brosky?
    3
  3642. Did you get to shoot the new 338 LMG.
    3
  3643. A scope might let you identify targets at 800 meters but that doesnt mean you can hit those targets. Long range marksmanship requires additional training and practice. The NGSW might work for the SF, but not in big army.

  3646. Bro, the opinion from the other side, from simple Russian dude, DEROS. Itseems to me that it was a sign that you mentioned two different Robocops. In my opinion, the RoboCop remake is generally an undeservedly underrated and criticized film. I don’t understand, did people seriously expect another Verhoeven techno sur? The new one contains absolutely priceless thoughts. For example, the phrase “America is sick with robotophobia” is very appropriate. For example, it shows the war of the future, the war as America should wage it - several operators in augmented reality helmets sweep the streets of Tehran (to the point). Aren't these helmets preparing for real robotic warfare? I really hope for it. I repeat - the RoboCop remake is a hidden gem

As one content creator to another I highly recommend fact-checking then double checking everything you intend to state as fact. Errors in this video I have spotted: 1) The raptor is named after birds of prey, which spend most of their time in the air. 2) Only the B variant of has the lift fan for vertical take off. 3) You were correct that the A version is the only one to carry an internal gun, but the video shows the optional belly mounted gun pod developed for for the B and C versions when you say that. 4) Goose ejected in time but hit the canopy.

  3654. As a former 11B2P I “jumped” to your defense and set some of those dull normals straight on the raptor issue with replies like this one; “Give Cappy a break it’s called poetic license and having a sense of humor. The theropod dinosaurs like velociraptors evolved into modern raptor birds. So how about a hooah for this Jersey boy having your back. Thank you for another informative and patriotic video.

  3657. Well your trying to give analysis, but I don't think you grasp certain things, like for example you sit there like the rest of the world and you hear that the Russian soldiers have said that they were told it was a training exercise and you added that that might be Ukrainian propaganda. I haven't heard one person who gave analysis explain why Russian troops were being told that it was an exercise. Now let's see if this makes sense to you, over several months they were accumulating troops and vehicles, not to mention the countless number of logistics involved, now for several months you're going to have upwards of 140-150 thousand troops waiting and waiting, don't these troops have cell phones, don't they have mothers fathers Brothers sisters girlfriends. If you told them that they were going to go to war in Ukraine, first they would be broadcasting it all over the place, there goes your element of surprise and secondly it would give them a chance to talk amongst themselves and maybe dessert if they found out what the mission was. So in recap they were told that they were on a training exercise then once they were told to roll out and part way into Ukraine they were told what the mission was. End of conversation.

  3658. I think your analysis has been proven wrong, as the front is about 25 (!) km away from the city. It also contradicts some other experts (NATO generals and alike) which I've listened to yesterday and today, along with several reports that seem to confirm that this is obviously not a planned traffic jam. Yes, of course they want to encircle the cities they can not easily take. But why didn't they do that until now? Wait, why did they even lose ground in that encirling movement and had to retreat in some places? The Russian army tries to attack and hold (!) a land comparable with France with only about 150.000 soldiers. That alone seems a bit too less...but when you know that the Ukrainian army now has almost one million soldiers under weapons, not counting the voluntarys, just regular army and reservists...the best tank army in the world won't help you in the cities. And it's not like the Ukrainian army is a dub, they have a lot of heavy and modern weapons as well. What I also critizise is that you think, Putin is doing what he is doing because he has reasons, if real or imaginative. But this old man - he will turn 70 this year - is a psychic. He is a liar and narcissist all the way through. He does not care about the victims (proven by Grosny, Aleppo and now this), he does not care about Russia (proven by not caring about the sanctions) and there is one thing that he can never ever do, period: lose. Yes, this will be a war of attrition, but Putin is fighting on several fronts: the military, the econonical and the home front, where might be powerful people who just realize what damage he does to Russia...and that he is already a very old man, who didn't even care who or what would come after him.

  3659. Spot on analysis. I always appreciate when a fellow vet can break down the absurdity of the media and provide a comprehensive outlook as to the reality of the situation, removing the "US is best, gung ho mentality". Such hubris is what got us in this situation. I have wanted to throw my drink (yeah, I didn't give it up :)) at the TV watching the news and their misrepresentation of the situation on the ground. This is just beginning and will get much worse. I still can't grasp how the general public got the expectation a war was won/lost in a week.... No military action in recent history would support that expectation.

  3667. Outstanding job! One thing I've learned is that once it sets in you have it forever. The trick is to redirect your thoughts. It's not easy by any means, but it's important when dealing with PTSD. I've been fighting this fight for a decade. I also know it's a fight I'll have to fight for the rest of my life. Thinking about my kids, and finding things to occupy thoughts keeps me going. I've never lost a fight. I don't plan on starting now. There's no shame in asking for help. Knowing when to do that takes strength in itself. Sometimes just talking to someone is all you need to get you though a bad day. 800-273-8255. Calling this number got me though many bad days. Semper Fi!

  3670. It's funny because when you talk about something I don't know a lot about, I find you authoritative and informative, but when you talk about stuff I know something about, you are clearly producing a very mild form of nudging propaganda where you explain historical events and economic situations with inane statements, when either the range of accepted ideas is different or the widely accepted idea is different. I don't know if this is to make YouTube happy or whatever but I'm out.

  3681. Are high cut helmets the norm nowadays or are they always shown just because they look tacticool? I would feel much less protected with such a helmet compared to a classic low cut helmet. 5:32 I mean look how much of the head is exposed. Especially now that materials are getting lighter and lighter, can't they just widen the helmet to make room for a headset? And since there are are these 3D microphones now, they could just be mounted on the outside. It seems to me that such designs like to get popular in times when soldiers see less action, when comfort is more important than protection. I mean the German M1916 steel helmets of WW1 were certainly less comfortable and more restricting than the old pickelhauben, but they were still seen as an upgrade.

  3701. Dude in 1984 I was a crew chief/door gunner on Hueys in Honduras. Part of what we did was transport and re-supply other groups from Ft. Bragg. A lot of different specialty mos' were stationed at Ft. Bragg. I worked with a lot of highly trained specialty troops and civilians back in the U.S. We were flying all over Central America. We were trying to stop the cartels, train the locals and prevent the human caravans we have been suffering from the last few years. I remember sitting thru bleary eyed briefings of all those alphabet groups. We landed in a marijuana field that looked like a jungle scene. Problem was it had all been sprayed with Paraquat earlier that day. Fun times.

  3702. Sorry man. But in the moment where the explosion is shown, if you act smarter and look at the same maps, it turns out that that explosion was in the "Dneprovka" area, which already means that the Russians did not shoot at any nuclear power plant, I can only assume that you draw your conclusions on foundation of Ukrainian propaganda. Of course, I will not argue that Russian propaganda is being played on Russian TV channels, but I do not exclude the existence of Western or American propaganda. The next time you look at the information that you are told, just know that it can be a lie - like the video of stuck Russian tanks, which was filmed back in 2020 at military exercises near the Ukrainian border. As a person who served in the Russian army and is familiar with the Russian order in the army, I can say that if the boss gives the order to shoot at civilians, you have 3 options: 1 Obey the order and become an accomplice in a war crime, 2 Refuse to carry out this order because it is a war crime, which excludes it from "direct military duties", 3 (extreme case, if there are witnesses of an attempt to force you to carry out a criminal order, using force or threat of personal violence) Shoot the commander on the spot.

  3704. Correction: Japan did not bomb the US in the hope they would be able to import oil again. They bombed the US Navy in the hope that it would buy them enough time to capture the oil rich SE Asia. It's an important distinction.

  3705. How is the evidence not there for us orchestrating the original regime change in Ukraine? There are literally voice recordings of our politicians discussing who they will put in power there. I remember one person recommending Vitaly Klitschko and another person saying no he wont do.

  3712. Russia invade Ukraine but Will not Occupy. They Will install pro Russia government, build, train and equip that government military. So, any insurection, or Guerilla warfare is not suited for Ukraine situation. The west always forget that almost half of Ukraine is Russian ethnic and they are pro Russia. I think the best Ukraine can do is to retreat to the north west and hope for NATO intervention.

  3727. Solid video. A lot of good info. Just enough detail for it to make sense.
    3
  3728. See Cappy....I told you that you would enjoy it. :) Everybody seems obsessed by Bullpup triggers. Trust me.. on a service rifle that long barrel and short length more than makes up for it. Never heard a professional military bullpup user complain about inaccuracy or slow reloading. If you think Bullpups are inaccurate just because of a stiffer trigger then watch "Nine hole reviews" shoot the AUG at the range. He did not seem to have any problems despite a lack of experience on the weapon. As for reloading. Remember that every nation that adopted a bullpup previously used a conventional design, typically an FN FAL variant or something similar. Israel used FALs, Galils, M16s and the M4. It's not a mystic art. You go to boot camp and you learn your weapon. It may bother the old and bold but to a new recruit it's what they learn to shoot from day one. The GD bullpup and 6.8mm True Velocity ammo is the best choice financially and logistically. Older weapons can be re-barrelled for 6.8mm TV in batches to reduce costs and passed to the National Guard and Reserves as the new weapons are issued to front line units. Vehicle mounted weapons like the M240 and M134 minigun can be re-barrelled until replaced by .338 weapons if required. This all reduces the financial and logistical "shock" of adopting a whole new ammo type. Oh and my vote is: "Plastic to the Planet".

  3730. You addressed this very briefly towards the end of the video and perhaps I'm just not understanding, but how easily can ammo manufacturing move from producing the brass ammo to this polymer ammo? If this gun manufacturer won the bid do they get the sole rights to producing the ammo or is a license given out to manufacturers that produce ammunition for the military, such as the 5.56 for the M4s? And you said the lighter weight would help with carrying more ammunition compared to brass (and shipping with logistics and such) but how does the polymer ammunition compared to brass ammunition? By that, I guess I mean would the weight help with shipping in more extreme (hot or cold) environments? Also, does the polymer ammunition have a different shelf life compared to brass ammunition?

  3738. Your analysis is interesting but your grasp of international affairs is severely lacking.Tb2 was famous long before Ukraine.The civil War in Libya and Syria as well as the nagorno karrabakh War more than amply demonstrated its capabilities.In those conflict the use of TB 2 completely transformed the equation on the ground .There is also the lesser known conflicts in Ethiopia where the use of the 2 helped to prevent the capital from falling into rebel hands.Is it just because Americans are jealous that the Turks can create something that is so effective in the modern battlefield ? There are videos of the taking out various types of Russian made air defence systems from s300 to pantsirs.Please do more research

  3744. Did Pelosi's jet have escort fighters then, at any point? Also, why does Taiwan sell microchips to China? Taiwan provides, If I remember correctly, 14% of the world's supply of chips (far surpassing other individual countries), with European countries being their biggest buyers, but yet China buys them too. China, at the very least, emposes trade embargoes on Taiwan, has been violating Taiwanese airspace with fighter jets for months, allowing for multiple first strike options, and basically flexing it's bully muscles via clandestine economics and majorly fueling the global arms race we've all been partaking in. The PRC considers Taiwan, and Tibet not only as part of China, but as "wayward children," who need to fall in line or else (barely paraphrasing). So yeah, why would Taiwan sell anything to China at all? I believe I have a general idea, but what does everyone else think? Keep in mind Taiwan has no shortage of East Asian, or other global trade countries they can rely on and flourish from.

These are NOT combat fighting vehicles, they ARE troop mobility vehicles and any lnfantry man can tell you armor ATTRACTS fire . GO these have good purpose . Mobility and fire power win wars

  3778. Oh why yes I've seen my previous CSM use our gator to roll around when out in the field. Thr best is when he used the GSA Van to do this on a BA range and field exercise. He had to keep command and control of everyone down to a PVT. Wait that was 10 years ago when I was a SPC

  3780. I am honestly disappointed by this video. By the title, it looks like you could have told that how tanks would still be useful on the battlefield but instead the video is all about the history of drones and how in the new battle, drones defeated armor. Maybe in the next video, you explain the topic of this video.

  3794. What you said was absolutely clear. “The war is escalating.” That is true, and anyone who took it as “Ukraine is escalating the war” are a bunch of patsies. Honestly, the only thing apologizing to them will do is inflate their egos. They took it the wrong way because you said Ukraine shot into Russian territory. Well it’s factually true, but that doesn’t mean that’s it Ukraine who is escalating the war. That’s what your audience assumed, which is pathetic. They put words into your mouth. You shouldn’t apologize to that small but loud part of your audience. Nothing you said was wrong. I only watched it once, and I never took away that you meant to blame Ukraine. Don’t give into these self-entitled patsies.

  3797. 10 seconds in and "Zapatoria" is invented :)) I hope you'll make a video with only you mispelling names

  3798. Always bragging about that 02 camry.

  3799. 11:45 RPG-7 can pen less than 1cm? lol I'm calling bushtit on that one. So when will the infantry be getting their magic armor plates that can stop RPG rounds?

  3800.  @markschoning5581  Absolutely but this "tank-expert" is unable to distinguish between transmission and engine 😅
    3
  3801. Mistake in you Video: 10.20 The Engine is not from RANK the Engine is from MTU it's the V10 Diesel-Motor, 892 High Power Density (MT 892 Ka-501) von MTU Friedrichshafen

  3802. I was a former IFV pilot. One thing that I cannot stress enough is operational readiness. Puma lacks the reliability of the operational readiness. We can say it is a great attempt but compare to the new kids on the block (eg Redback) it feels as if its time has already passed. Another thing to note is that lately German systems lack the cutting edge and reliability tgey used to have. Just looking back, how many tanks used German made 120mm main gun for MBts and 155mm gun for Self Propelled Artilleries. The shine of German made systems have been fading ever since German government severely cut their military size and sending. I am sure many of the viewers still remember the shocking news that less than 10% of their aircrafts were operational ready. The money for your own military spending does not define the quality of military hardware production capabilities but it does show significant correlation. Unfortunately, This has been the precise problem with the German (also French and UK as well in that extent).

  3803. Do a video on Mowag Piranha 5 Always wanted you to do a vid on a vehicle i am trained on :)

  3804. Chris shut up I can't watch the video right now I need to buy that Modular Musket shirt immediately
    3
  3805. If we were honest we’d just buy the נמ"ר or Namer. Taking what is arguably the best tank in the world, (& is without a doubt the top 3), removing the turret and making an APC sounds like a solid plan. And then you look up it’s combat record and it is a slam dunk.
    3
  3806. Sounds like clause wife 😂😂😂😂
    3
  3807. Hey Cappy, do you feel more kinetic with AG1? Is it modular? Open architecture?
    3
  3808. Video about specific aircraft Video clips of everything with jet engines & wings. Come on now Mr Editor, archive footage of SU-22s and Mig-25s can't be that hard to find. Shit, there was even a Skyhawk on screen when talking sbout the F-14

  3809. This is great content Cappy. Do more of these and you'll have many, many likes and subs.

  3810. Cool video. I had no idea that the pkm had such a good reputation and was so loved. Sounds like a rad gun

  3811. Oh no, the lizard people are back! After the divorce. Your, "commercials ", always crack me up. Funny. Of course the reason I watch is your great content. Keep it up!

  3812. Great reporting. Thanks. It will be interesting to see which direction DoD will go.
    3
  3813. I used to work for ATK that had the lake city contract and owns federal, sci, etc and the switch to those complete polymer round would be the biggest issue because the tooling would be ridiculously expensive that the government would have to eat. It seems to be to big of jump and the Sig appears to be more incremental. Just my opinion.
    3
  3814. I really enjoyed this video you had all the information necessary and more
    3
  3815. I like the sig sauer the most cause of the ammo
    3
  3816. Why does the Army think troops can't effectively engage targets pat 300m?
    3
  3817. ... What about the issue of shoot-thru in CQC? With the 7.62mm falling out of favor, what about the engagement of targets 800-1100 meters. Fore go the issue of weapon platforms and stay with the issue of caliber/weight; it's like playing golf and using the proper club for the range of the hole. Perhaps the 6.8mm makes a great medium range round (150m-300m); however, will it shoot thru the target and continue into the next room, striking your own or friendlies? In open terrain, can you hit with deadly force with accuracy at extended ranges? Or is this going to be a "Jack of all trades, yet a master of none"...
    3
  3818. Hope you can make a video about Pakistans armed forces too! I heard their modernisation process has been better than the Indian because of extensive army control of beaurocracy..

  3819. i have followed EVERY VIDEO , love how you approach every topic....a lil dry wit definitely helps;-)

  3824. You should do a video about Russian spetsnaz
    3
  3825. It was fukkked from the beginning and as best we tried the goalposts always moved. No other result could have happened other than what we got given the restrictions and "we're not conquerors, we're liberators" was uttered by the brass. Should have not been more than go in and whoop ass and gotten out.

  3830. Sidearms are your best friend in sneaking missions Solid Snake and Sam Fisher can contest to that
    3
  3831. Why isn’t the NGSW fire control video appearing in the playlists?
    3
  3832. Hey Cappy , something interesting you said about the NGSW Fire control optics in the recent Fire Control optics Vortex/L3 Harris update video was that now with it there wouldn't be the need for so many accessories for the gun on rails ( like laser range finder or ballistic computer and other accessories) because the Fire control optic would be an all in one device . With that in mind how do you think the future of weapons design will be , will there be less of a need for rails and a whole new design will be taken in the future like in the next decade ?

  3833. You gave pistol to rifleman on alpha team xd 4:50
    3
  3834. We are often mounted. When you need to get it to ground guide or interact with people in close proximity to your vehicle, it’s sometimes more convenient to have a pistol in addition to the rifle.
    3
  3835. If your offensive primary weapon is a pistol... you're doing something very very wrong. The pistol is a defensive weapon.. Someones just trying to reinvent the wheel again.
    3
  3836. Is it a feint? Are they really trying to take Kharkiv? Yes. Soviet/Russian doctrine has always been to focus on exploits. If they break through here, it IS the main offensive. When it grinds to a halt, they will push elsewhere.
    3
  3837. Hey Chris -- How about your take on the TU-141's? Like, how do you think Ukraine managed to increase the range so much?

  3842. Yet another informational video pappy cap
    3
  3843. Dammit cappy… now I have to go buy a K2. Don’t watch this channel unless you’re prepared to become infatuated with what’s on it (no not you cappy). I hear there’s a lot of MRAP’s, hummers, helicopters and Bradley’s for sale but the shipping cost is unreal. It ships from afgh… ah dammit.
    3
  3844. Oh come-on! The nuclear problem is that Iran has decided that Israel should not exist.
    3
  3845. Armenia not getting along with Iran is wrong… this is bad research.
    3
  3846. Very good and informative analysis. There were only two points missed: The first point involves the west's support to Sadam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war in the '80s. The second point is that the centrifuges Iran used to enriched Uranium, were given to them by Pakistan (but Pakistan was a "friendly" dictatorship at the time).
    3
  3847. Thank you so much for doing this video! In the future I plan to join the military I was looking into joining the Marines and becoming an infantry rifleman, but I wanted to know the differences between the Marines and the Army.
    3
  3848. Very well said. There is a significant stress placed on PT and discipline. Not really better just different. I do think the Army could create a unit to replace the USMC or integrate the marines under army command but then who would eat all those crayons?
    3
  3849. Him saying the 15 man marine squad is almost twice as much as the 9 man army squad yeah that’s how math works

    3
  3856. and what about the NGSW in 6.8? could it change all the program of textron, sig sauer and general dynamics?is it a fourth competitor? or it will only be used by special forces?
    3
  3857. Dude he highlighted my comment! Thanks for the honor. 6.5 Creedmore is better than 7.62 NATO for MG or sniper, but for the grunt, I'd say it's overkill and would find the 6.5 Grendel better, especially because you could carry more ammo. Great video!

  3858. Also get used to "Open ranks, march!" , "Half right, face!" , "Front leaning rest position, move!"

  3867. "Low" meaning "Barely enough to fight two major conflicts at the same time".

  3868. the world is not like it was during wwII. if a big conflik starts out, we will not have the time to build things up. we will have to fight with what we have. the time to prepare for war is during times of peace.

  3869. Greetings from Colorado! Bam! I am a MEMBER! Well done Chris and friends. Your channel, others like Peter Zeihan are following a direction and production that I like and understand. I note and congratulate you for your effort to dig in on pronunciation.... It's amazing how DEEPLY entrenched in our culture is the difficulty of pronouncing words like NU-KLEE-AR and how adamantly, if not purposefully, some Americans resist trying to get it right. Thank you for your efforts and glad to be a member.

  3874.  @grunyonthoughtsfromagrunt8264  funny you bring that up. The reason they dont need to ask that question for 11B is the low GT score gives it away! Sloth from the movie Goonies...straight up 11B!

  3876. Love the video just one thing I'd like to say. The only reason that Americans used tactics in the Civil War were they lined up and volley fired was because those were the tactics that they were used to and they just used it even though that they didn't have to do to the major major advancements in the mini ball and the rifle. That's why there were so many casualties during the Civil War because the tactics were way too old for the wepons.
    3
  3877. 9:38 "The Greek phalanx helped Alexander the Great to conquer Greece." It was actually ol' Alex's dad, Philip, that conquered Greece. Alexander was more well known for conquering some land in Asia, but nothing too big...

  3879. Yeah conscription sucks, because even when you're motivated, serving with people that doesn't want to be here is moral breaking... I could write a book about the swiss army and it's ineficiency, a bunch of old dudes that do not want to get rid of conscription....

  3890. One thing, "air superiority" US of A can invade any country you can imagine on this planet(if you minus all the side effects). Seriously, honestly, truthful, reasonably, ly ly ly Another word, "recon" / "information". GPS is owned and run entirely by US gov. Their satellites have been up there for decades circling all over Earth, while Russia just put their glonass in use not long ago.

    3
  3895. 2:04: Within the context of the 60's, the UK was nowhere near ending its control of Hong Kong. That would not happen until 1997. Your overall argument is correct, just the example of HK is not.

  3896. He missed two key issues. 1. College scholarships from the GI Bill - Many who join the military, do so for the future college benefits of the GI Bill. If the President and/or Congress, offers (or gives signals about offering) to pay off all college debts, then this GREATLY reduces this incentive. Why join and give up 4-6 years for something you can get for free??? In 2007-8 I was the top Air National Guard (ANG) recruiter in the country in a voluntary incentive program they had back then. Well over 90% of the new ANG recruits want the help of the GI Bill and are actually college students! Its not just in this one branch - most new recruits are looking to improve their future and if there are easier ways to get college scholarships then this reduces or eliminates that recruiting tool. Future college scholarship help from the GI Bill is a key recruiting tool. 2. Military culture and lifestyle are reducing retention - if the military took better care of its people, then they wouldn't need as many recruits. The military leadership has become addicted to getting huge numbers of easy recruits. So, they can ignore lousy living conditions, low pay and don't push back against political experimentation in the military. The military is NOT A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT and further attempts to make "try new things" are causing some to leave that might have stayed. Make the military better and more will stay in. Finally, I love this channel but I wish Task & Purpose would be more honest in his commentary. In the effort to be less biased and moderate, he glosses over key points. Why not say what he really thinks???? For instance, for the almost entire history of the volunteer force (over 50 years) the tv recruiting has sold the military as an ADVENTURE, PATRIOTIC, EXCITING, "SEE THE WORLD"etc. THAT WORKED!!! Why change it? Now they put out cute cartoons that aren't even aimed at the core group of recruits: MEN. These ads were largely mocked in the media and contrasted in comparison to our main enemies tv ads. Why not say that? Today over 80% of the U.S. military is still men, so you still need to appeal to that group. Cappy - by saying nice and boring comments like , "we need to tell recruits why defending the nation is important" you are making point but missing the bigger picture. Recruiting is selling a story or dream. Tell the truth, such as "Go back to what worked in prior tv recruiting"! You are a voice of the ex-military, and you have an important voice. But lately your commentary is diluted by trying to be less partisan. No Woke crowd people are watching your youtube because of what you were before! You're losing your core audience of ex-military by trying to present both sides, when you know your side is correct and worked for 3 generations.
    3
  3897. Have you been watching the fight with congress that Jon Stewart has been having trying to get veterans medical funding for exposure to burn pits (among other things)? When the government very clearly and expressly doesn't give a fuck about you, why would you want to sign up to put your life on the line? You get one go on this planet. Sacrificing your one go for a government who sees you as a disposable tool isn't inspiring.

  3902. You are very good at military equipment evaluation.. and some other useful and interesting aspects for viewers.. i think you overstep your knowledge and ability about international matters i will always pop a thumbs up at your channel but sometimes what you say is just an opinion and not professionally backed up

  3903. "consripts are poorly motivated and trained" You know we are talking about Finland right? that is not true in the slightest.

  3910. It's not true that you can produce missiles "Way" faster then interceptors. Interceptors also force your opponent to invest more in trying to overwhelm your defense. We use a layered defense that includes THAAD and SM-3 on ships that can intercept mid phase missiles (as seen in the most recent Iran launch). Any group of political scientists that say something cant be done are just hacks.

  3921. Ffs this video is so naive. Yeah, it would be great for a country that could fall apart at any moment to hold hundreds of nukes. Could you imagine how fun it would be if some 20 or 30 nukes fell into rebels' hands?
    3
  3922. At the 8:30 mark, you're correct. I don't believe Ukraine would break OPSEC without a purpose. Telling us and the Russians we are out of reserves is not something any military would ever admit publicly! There is a plan that we should not and are not privy to.

  3923. Thank you for making this video and providing this perspective.

  3946. Not a tank?
    3
  3947. This design genuinely seems "schizophrenic" (no offence for this condition, but an illustration of clashing ideas all at once being the main description). It seems like a vanity project that combines the less likely attack on Russia and the amphibious assault on Taiwan merged from directions of the politiburo or whatever way China colloquially uses its Marxism. This seems like a new Maus tank .ie way too heavy with little return. I cannot even say it was designed with a front in mind because of its absolute horrendous weight and tacking on of weaponry. It reminds me of WW1 desperation. I can guarantee this vehicle being a fat pig for slaughter in any front due to its conflicting design and nice OSINT footage

  3948. DEFINITELY NEED THIS BEAST IN WAR THUNDER.
    3
  3949. Why, that person would be none other than Xi Jinping! Say what you want about his governance of China as a nation, he has ruthlessly and efficiently eliminated any and all viable opposition to his Stalinist style rule. Replete with a cult of personality that even Kim Jong Un would envy! I have a personal question for you: Have you ever coconsidered joining the US Army Reserves or National Guard?

  3950. I carried an M14 on my last 5 deployments. Why? Because FU#K a M4

  3951. The German Bundeswehr made a video on it: "MG5 vs. MG3! Welches Maschinengewehr der Bundeswehr ist besser?" here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDYb6ICZHo4 It's in German but you can put on subtitles

  3954. Since the errors were very technical based on verified input in comment section. Would you do a preview comment sort of “previously on Task & Purpose” as a follow up clarification of your videos so it’s not missed by viewers who may not necessarily dive into comments mid-video? It’s only fair to your channel to address it in same medium you delivered it. Verbally and audio usually. Or post-upload edit with text on screen as some YouTubers do sometimes? It only helps to keep the technical facts format and center. Since it’s not just a pronunciation or a distance or mix up of terms. A suggestion. Have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

  3955. What about challenger 2 please
    3
  3956. So, how hard is it to jam the command console signal? Also, is the launcher able to rotate?
    3
  3957. Quick question, do you plan to make a video on the SIG machine gun bid i didnt se any mention of it in your video on SIGs rifle bid and was wondering, because what I've seen of it is awesome and has alot of innovative functions that really fix alot of flaws in the squad LMG

  3958. Your GOAT gun intel while through left out the most significant tactical question in the eyes of the DOD; is it modular? 😂😂😂

  3960. An advanced attack helicopter because what China really needs is the capability to stop hostile tanks coming over the western mountains? The only mountains the PRC have issues with are in Taiwan

  3962. WHY YOU BULLYING ME IM SUPER GOOD
    3
  3963. yeah well,the AK rarely jams and isnt that quality just so priceless? Even if theres some accuracy tradeoffs,it seems to be the perfect assault rifle. Especially with the new updated platform,ak12? M4 be cool tho.... just anxious to see the next rifle already!

  3964. So long as they don't begin issuing their soldiers shabu(meth), I have no problem with Japan growing it's military. And how could the nation that gave us Mario Bros. be considered bad??

  3965. Could you do a video on the AUG?
    3
  3966. Ha I don't think their armour configuration is going to work very well in field, If that thing cant stop anything more than a .50 Cal and reliably at that then not a chance. That thing is a death trap, all the extras in the world will not change that. Il take an S tank over one of those any day of the week.

  3969. If you really wanted to produce the most context, you should’ve talked more about both versions of the charter. The Hamas charter is violently anti-Semitic. It quotes the protocols of the elders of Zion. It blames Jews for every single war in history. It is a noxious and evil document. The so-called more moderate second charter, when read thoroughly, is still an Absolutely disgusting masterpiece of antisemitism and hate.

  3976. Can you do weapon breakdown on the m60 machine gun
    3
  3977. Wow, Cappy, being pro-ukrainian does not mean you have to turn into a ukie propaganda channel. I quite liked to watch your takes exactly because you were trying to remain objective while being humorous. But this video of yours contains more bullshit in the first two minutes than an average Ukrainian goverment press-release. Maybe check you sources next time?

  3996. Dude my friend went to school with you. I’m in New Jersey too. Working on a design for a gun now too. Thinking of a harder epoxy shell and a poly body with quick attachments without the use of tools. Honestly some of your videos give a perfect perspective on issues I haven’t been thinking about. Overall what are major things people need from an SMG and what are things people hate about most SMGs??? Heritage guild is a fun place to shoot or THE FARM just saying if anybody is in the area.

There will be enormous pressure to do the opposite. It creeps in almost imperceptibly slowly. From what I’ve seen and heard, it looks like you have what it takes to stay real. Bravo on this episode and quite a few before it!

  4010. Hey Great video I am with the TN national guard currently on SAD orders down here in Brownsville doing a observe and report across the border I feel under trained as a 91 L. I also feel useless when we are told to do nothing other than watch them cross and then call border patrol and dps just for them not to show up for hours even days at some points.

  4018. Yeah, do that intelligence video.
    3
  4019. @Task and Purpose I'm assuming that the term "anywhere they exist" does not include within the borders of the US. As I don't believe that such a bill/law would overrule Federal law prohibiting the US military from carrying out anything other than policing duties within the borders of the US. Additionally tech-wise, cartels have also - for decades now - made and used submarines (i.e. not simply submersibles) fully capable of operating and traveling reasonable distances while fully submerged to limited depths. an in large part home-grown technological achievement/capability that is nothing to sneeze at and that quite frequently can pay for itself in one successful smuggling trip.

  4025. This is a hidden gem. You might want to drop the comedy part, it feels out of place and self deprecation only works for a specific (beta) type of person. But this video is packed with actual useful information and good research. Its presented like a top 10 and I was expecting the worst but the script and the researcher here is very much on point. Very nicely done. I can see this channel doing very well if all the videos are like this.

  4045. That’s enough. I am not here to listen to your biased point of view Cappy, you have lost a longtime viewer. I am fond of strategy, geopolitics and I think that you are not treating the subject seriously and professionally. I am commenting to inform you that I will stop watching your videos and am going to subscribe to the Talk Tuah podcast. This podcast hosts some of the most well known war analysts, geo politicians and military commanders who know what they are talking about. They are the REAL deal and won’t be biased… Much love Santa

  4050. For sure carriers are not obsolete. Much is made of hypersonic missiles. They have one weakness that I can see. They get hot. No amount of stealth can hide the friction heat generated by a missile at mach 10. As long as crews are up to speed, the fleet should be comparatively safe. Submarines could be a problem. The biggest risk is if a country decides on a first strike with no warning. I imagine that has been wargamed extensively.

  4051. What camera were you using at the range I know it’s a canon but I can’t tail witch one it is

  4055. The bottle opener was actually meant not necessarily to open alcoholic drinks, but a kind of sweet juice drink which is extremely popular in Israeli culture which comes in a glass bottle. I’m quite sure the Israelis had every intention of “doing war sober.”

  4057. Love the humor :D Some lighthearted fun is always appreciated :D A few comments. Reason why Galil was made with machined receiver was simple: Israelis encountered arab-made AKs and arab metallurgy at the time (and to this day) sucked. One could literally crush the receiver by stomping on it. Hence the machined receiver. Soviets didn't like the extra weight of the machined receiver since they understood the loads on the infantry soldier. In fact they TO THIS DAY don't like extra weight on a rifle. To such an extent that after trying out the KM-AK kit on AK-74M, they stopped buying it: it made the rifle too heavy in their eyes, especially when one saw how much more is hanged off a soldier these days. As soon as they managed to get technological process down pat to make it all reliable and strong long-term, they made it stamped. These days you can run AK over with a car and it won't crush. Russian-made one mind you. In terms of tolerances. Manufacturing TOLERANCES were actually lineball. What was different was the chosen CLEARANCES which are DELIBERATELY included. It's a popular myth propagated by the misunderstanding and confusion of terms. AKs were built to a far higher specifications relative to what was built in WW2 when larger tolerances were acceptable. In fact the machining on AKs was very accurate, given the fact that equipment to make them was mostly brand new and made in USA in many cases. Russian introduction of 5.45 was inspired by M-16 in Vietnam, and not the Galil in middle east. Also the stock was made the way it was because original AKM stock was more a shoulder brace than stock, so a better-shaped side-folder was introduced. It's also wholly different to Israeli model in terms of construction and the mechanism. Safety selector that Russians use on the AK is done that way for several reasons. One is that it was easy to operate in all conditions, especially below 30 degrees C. Secondly you always knew what the selector is set to, unlike the Galil that you encountered and commented on. Funnily enough Kalashnikov Concern attempted to use that same type of a safety selector on the initial and well-publicised model of AK-12, but it was disliked for its poor operability and for the fact that it was hard to read without actually looking at. Hence abandonment of it on later AK-12. Galils accuracy advantage of AKMs was due to being 5.56 vs 7.62. Also military rifles mechanical accuracy is often down not to the rifle but to ammo. Military ammo isn't particularly accurate. In fact the requirement is to be within around 5MOA with iron sights. AKM and AK-74 had no problem achieving that. In fact military reps at the factory would check each batch of rifles for reliability, sight straightness and group sizes. If 2 rifles failed, the whole batch was rejected. Bolt catch on Galil ACE: it became a thing thanks to an enormous amount of M16/STANAG magazines with appropriate followers that made such an inclusion viable. Reason for why it's not necessary? If you ever have a failure to fire or out of ammo, you ALWAYS duck into cover or concealment to clear the malfunction, whatever it is. Also the position which you are in while reloading and location of the replacement magazine will affect your reloading speed more than having a bolt catch. And if you are prone or on your back, that bolt catch won't matter at all when you are fighting to find the mag and get it out of the pouch.

  4062. Hello Capi! justo to update your info about this great vid, the Galil also is the main rifle for the Guatemalan Army serving from the 70's for the most of the conflict against the communist guerrillas, and recently the Guatemalan army has adopted the new version and the deliveries are starting. Best regards from Guatemala!

  4068. I wonder why these machines have not been given to engineering brigades. Like, I can see this vehicle being very useful if a brigade of field engineers need to build a bridge or carry repaid equipment. I’m no expert, but I got a feeling they should’ve removed the gunner hatch and added a little trunk-trailer. So now they have a little ground train (choo-choo)

  4075. Top down command is slow to respond to changing battlefield conditions. Allowing local commanders leeway to act as conditions provide gives a much faster reaction cycle. This allows US forces to break through the corresponding cycle of their Russian-style adversaries training, and defeat much larger forces on the ground. The former East bloc could not match this capability, as their very societies and political systems disallowed low level commanders initiative. Once we had trained our junior and field officers to think like this, and provided them with equipment that they could use to implement this doctrine, the US Army became essentially unstoppable, and with it land defense of NATO in a non nuclear environment was assured, in cooperation with our allies. It is no coincidence that this capability was realized in the late 80s, and the collapse of the Warsaw Pact followed in short order.
    3
  4076. Your content is always informative, clear and compelling; and this episode was at the top of the range. If you're interested in the history/meta of this subject, I'd recommend "There's a War to Be Won" by Geoffrey Perret. The first half of which recounts the shift from WWI thinking and planning to where we found ourselves at the beginning of WWII, and how the Army fundamentally restructured itself, built command structures and officer training infrastruture during the interwar years, essentially making it possible for us to create, train, equip, suppport and project the Army we had at the end of WWII out of the (frankly paltry) Army with which we started WWII. It"s full of detail about how the M1 was developed, the Jeep, the Sherman ...the DUKW -- so many iconic systems -- and then we had to figure out how to use them. When the Armored Force was created in 1940 it consisted of 2 divisions ... and no doctrine (other than 1. don't send tanks into a town or forest and 2. don't move tanks forward unless there's infantry between them. Full stop). Chock full of real stories about the technology, lessons and personalities that made it all happen. I am not a paid spokesperson. Trent Hone has written a great book, "Learning War" about how the US Navy learned, improvised, adapted and won... but I'm not sure how welcome res navalis are here. Keep up the great work!

  4079. They are working in the wrong direction here. What they need to be focused on making is a better AG bag. This is somthing that is severely lacking to the point we haven’t even optimized our current system to employ machine guns .

  4080. UGH, This sounds amazing until you actually have to conduct jungle warfare and anyplace with thick brush. Another example of the Army training for the last war.

  4085. What actually made cavalry ineffective was the wire - not the automatic weapons. This was first learned in the Boer War. Horses could be stopped cold by a 3 strand barb wire fence. Later, when rolls of razor wire were deployed, horses simply could not charge through it. A moving horse is hard to target because of speed and the range changing so rapidly. The person has the option of targeting legs or bodies. If they target the horse's chest for example, they have to re-adjust the sights or they will fire over the animal. This was noted in the film "The Light Horsemen" which was about the Australian Cavalry attacking the Turks.

  4087. If it was me back in WWI, as soon as I saw Artillery I'd make sure every battery was charged. Technically speaking, wouldn't armoured be the closest thing we have to a modern day cavalry? I know the Brits like to use theirs the same way sometimes (except for riding on top of their vehicles - unless you count Russians and their APC's of course)

  4089. Here's a little money to go towards buying new map graphics that DON'T show Crimea as part of Russia like we see here at 14:16 Subtle propaganda from aggressive authoritarian states should have no place on your platform. Make sure the next map graphics you use are internationally recognized boarders - as I'm willing to bet there are more than a few out there that show Taiwan as part of China too 🙄

  4108. It’s B.A.E. Systems not BAE. British Aerospace. We have these in the British Army n we call it The Warrior armoured vehicle.

  4109. Cringes as he sees T&P showing what is labeled as a BMP-3 when in fact it's variants of the BMP-2
    3
  4110. Good job, Cappy! One of your best videos. One other thing that always strikes me about the BMP is how CRAMPED the troop compartment is, to achieve their low silhouette. The US absolutely went the right way in giving the dismounts more space, though it led to a larger vehicle. Given the culture that produced 'The Pentagon Wars', I never watched it. Besides the inaccuracies, the mockery of the military is a hard no-go for me. It's about as accurate as most 'news' accounts.
    3
  4111. good video
    3
  4112. Umm that's all good but is M2 Bradley:- modular, force multiplier and lethal. Plus having picittinny rail system. No. Then forget it. I will simp for............Uhhhhh guess there is no IFV that meets my requirement
    3
  4113. Me: Complaining about having a controversial joke taken seriously. Pentagon wars: "Hold my beer"

  4114. when my guy does a shout out to spookston, wasn't expecting that at all

  4115. Could I get a like cappy? Please 🙏? Much love from India

  4116. why does task and purpose come across as the buzzfeed of the military ecosystem of social media? o...m....f.....g....the "civilian owned" AT-4s are not live weapons these have been de-militarized...........
    3
  4117. Well the more you know I guess. Interesting to see why it's so highly regarded and why it has such a fierce reputation. Now I get it.
    3
  4118. HOW DO I GET THAT SHIRT YOUR SITE IS A MESS.
    3
  4119. The violence is not spilling over into the United States? Tell that to the family of 6 in Southern California that was executed just recently. They even shot a six month old baby in the head.

  4120. Very good video. The armata has a major weakspot: Its systems rely on a running engine. Once the engine is shut off the autoloader doesn't work as the turret does not move because the betteries onboard are not capable to operate both without the input from the alternators. One approach we concepted against a possible T-14 encounter are softkill liquid nitrogen munitions carrying 8kg of compressed liqud nitrogen to the air intake if you know where to aim. Once delivered the container bursts and the nitrogen evaporates instantly getting sucked in by the engine stopping it instantly. Without oxygen there is no fire, without fire there is no combustion. The engine needs to be cranked for about a minute in order to run again since the system is filled with unburnable nitrogen and the cloud stays for a short while around the intake making a wrong mixture between oxygen and nitrogen impossible to be processed by the engine. This minute or more is the time frame for countermeasures. All of the active defense systems can be exhausted by dummy missiles wich are yet to be produced but should be no problem to make and deploy on a short note if necessary giving the simplicity of pure dummy bait rounds delivered towards the tank in waves. Fortunately or unfortunately humanity since 20 years is stuck in a technological dead end regarding tanks and IFVs and we have yet to assess in what direction a true break trough can happen, if any.

  4121. 1. How many Russian viewers do you have? 2. How many of them were like "Victor, did you hear, we can get 5 dollars, let's shoot down RPG with machine gun!"

  4122. Yo Crappy, u still play squad? What servers we can find u at, my.fav is the last rifles TLR

  4123. Bro, I recently found your channel like a few days back and your videos on the channel are much better and informative than others (for me). Definitely did not regret subscribing to you when I heard that Humvee crew's voice from C&C Generals. Love it!

  4124. I would buy your shirt for a dollar.

  4125. Well this video did not age well... 😂

  4126. Great video!

  4127. Hey, can you do a video on NETT Warrior? What it is, where it is going, etc?

  4128. "One of united states biggest threats", from russia? Lmao dude... our army is mostly comprised of flying robots with precision explosives, but ok lets watch the video anyway lol
    3
  4129. Hmm… is this a video of concern or.. cause i do like it but bro, We need more AMERICAN PRIDE VIDEOS, and stuff like that if possible. Not to be mean but….who cares about russia we need to teach about america and our greatness brother.. much love and respect HOOAH!

  4130. What year was you in Iraq, I was 9-10. I preciate this video, I could see you becoming more like an active/veteran news channel/political advocate!
    3
  4131. Glad to see you back in the chair!
    3
  4132. You are absolutely correct. Every issue needs to see the full light of day, good and bad, but open and honest, if we are ever to solve the gnarly issues facing us. Way to go, excellent discussion. Thanks kindly
    3
  4133. Surprisingly interesting - thank you for putting this together. Have a great weekend.
    3
  4134. i find it REALLY hard to believe that the military-industrial complex which has produced jaw-dropping tech like the GBU-28, the Howitzer, A10 Warthog - just to name a few - is somehow unable to come up with a mobile incinerator that can be easily and safely set up and moved around with troops.
    3
  4135. Dude, would love to hear your comments on the new rifle that the British Army Ranger Regiment have been issued, the KS-1 (Knights Stoner 1).

  4136. U got east and west wrong

  4143. Nice to see a fellow bloody bucket

  4144. Thanks Biden for botching the withdraw cause this was not intentional no not at all. Let alone all the partisans that came out to defend this mess when it went all went down, what a give away and I don't just mean the arms.

  4145. The members only videos are pretty good, totally recommend for everyone that likes the channel!
    3
  4146. Listen up, T&P. I'm gonna do you a favor in the form of advice, but you're not going to like it. It's good advice that runs against the grain of YouTube conventional wisdom. But YouTube conventional wisdom has it HEAD UP ITS ASS just like many YouTubers do. Ready ? STOP EDITING YOUR VIDEOS SO THEY ARE A CONSTANT, NON-STOP STREAM OF TALKING SUCH THAT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PAUSES OR BREAKS. I am fully aware that this type of editing that results in a non-stop stream of language has become de rigueur on YouTube, BUT IT DOESN'T WORK AND YOU NEED TO FIGURE OUT THAT IT DOESNT WORK -- despite the fact that virtually everyone is doing it. It's booolschytte, it doesn't work, and you need to stop it. Why doesn't it work ? Because the human mind cannot follow a non-stop stream of language for more than about two minutes before it needs a break to process what it just heard. THIS NON-STOP KRAPPE DOES NOT WORK. After about three minutes the listener's eyes gloss over because the mind cannot continue to follow the non-stop stream of language. Ask any professor of communications at any college about this. In Communications 101, which is speech class, one of the first things they teach you is the value of the occasional pause. It should be 5 to 6 seconds, every few minutes. And if you have the occasional 2 to 3 second pause in-between the longer ones, it helps your audience keep up with the lecture/language stream even better. Talking at a natural pace works. Editing out every silence that is longer than a quarter-of-a-second so that the listener is assaulted with a relentless, non-stop stream of language for 5, 10, or 15 minutes DOES NOT WORK. IT'S ENTIRELY UNWATCHABLE. Don't take my word for it. Take this video to any college communications professor and have him watch it and tell you what he thinks. He'll tell you exactly what I'm telling you: the human mind cannot follow this style of relentless, rapid, non-stop language flow for more that two minutes without a pause/break, and it would be better if it were not edited to have such a rapid pace to begin with. Speak at a normal pace and put in a 5 to 6 second pause every 3 to four minutes. And ignore what all the other YouTubers are doing to make their own videos unwatchable.

  4147. Why don't they just adopt a proven vehicle and modify it, like the Puma you showed.
    3
  4148. i cant wait till we move back up to a 75 mm like back in ww2 ....

  4149. Come for the analysis. Stay for the hand drawn vehicle.

  4150. Love the Purdue shoutout!
    3
  4151. (My comment on the subject in root section). Whatever your creative process was coming up with this vid, stick with it. This has to be the high-speediest, so-fucking-smoothest thing I've seen from Task on YT ever, and is way up there on my general 'net-platform original content spectrum. Outstanding!
    3
  4152. Cappy I love your vids as well as your shortsightedness. I know this is an old vid and you won't see this response but from a higher rank E-6 to your short timer ass, you have a lot to learn son.
    3
  4153. Please make a video about the italian ARX200
    3
  4154. Looking at the OMFV requirements. We're looking at Pentagon Wars Season 2. They want a medium caliber gun (Like the 50mm in the video), Capability to fire ATGMs, Protection and somehow the ability to chuck, at minimum, 6 troops in it, while setting a weight limit of a minimum of 2 of a C-17, roughly 30-35 tons max. If a 25mm cannon and ATGMs practically left no room for troops on a Bradley imagine it for the soldiery when it gets equipped with a 50mm and ATGMs. Then you'd be stuck on a tank with no autocannon for suppressive fire against relatively armored or enclosed targets, and even more limited ammunition. This is outside of the requirements for future sustainability and upgrades. Think it's better they make compromises with the requirements or convert something that already exists, because if the previous programs had anything to tell them with the number of contractors who stepped forward, they're asking for something currently not possible with the tech we have today. Can look at the requirements and other details here: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/weapons/R45519.pdf

  4155. Fantastic commentary, your obviously researching every system.
    3
  4156. Hi Chris! Can you please say "Nuclear", three times, really fast?
    3
  4157. It must be taken into account that US has never fought against a well-equipped and modern army. On the modern tank battlefield, only APS can become a winning factor.
    3
  4158. 4:03 @cappyarmy, #cappyarmy, no offense, but your ARMA 3 framerate sucks big time. Pls, if you can, buy a powerful processor (Ryzen 9 5900X or Ryzen 9 5950X or its INTEL counterpart processor). Graphics card ain't that crucial for ARMA 3 (GTX 1080 Ti is more than enough, as ARMA 3 engine sucks and just sucks out the living juices out off powerful processor cores), 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 1TB hard drive and 32GB of RAM4 memory for good measure. Of course, it wouldn't hurt to bump up ARMA 3 settings Anti-Aliasing and Post-Process AA to max. ARMA 3 can be the best 3D experience a solder can enjoy when not in the thick of real life conflict, but it does require "proper horsepower". I hope to see a video where you present ARMA 3 Javelin in action as the real deal "combat footage" on April 1st ;-)
    3
  4159. i still think they should have bought the EFV or at least a mix of the super av and the efv because even at a uncontested beach you are not going to lay your ship within 10 miles to be sure and you dont want to be in that any amphibious vehicle for more than an hour.
    3
  4160. Interesting and comprehensive video as usual. Britain not Britian though ✔️😊
    3
  4161. Marine here. 2005-2014. i was with 1st LAR from 2010 to 2014 as a vehicle commander of a LAV25, and we had to test those EFVs. From the early prototypes, few of them swam well. Also at the time it was rumored that the efv would combine the LAR(infantry) and AAV (noninfantry) communities. There was alot of dislike of the idea. With this new vehicle it looks like it's happening all over again. Semper fidelis
    3
  4162. I know that I'm asking a lot, but, I really wish that you would SLOW DOWN on your explanations. The way you rattle off facts is really hard to grasp everything without having to go back to get the points that were missed. Just saying.
    3
  4163. These guns are cool and all, but that ass thicc af 2:44 Also I dunno what kinda research you're doing for these videos, but if you're coming across the filed patents for these weapons you should slap links to them in the description below the vid.
    3
  4164. Is...is that the Stoner LMG from the division 2
    3
  4165. Ummm this is a helpful comment. @1:30 should it supposed to be "safety" rather than "saftey"? Correct me if im wrong i dont know if thats a military term.
    3
  4166. Video idea I enlisted in the army last year still in highschool and head off to basic in a few months. My MOS will be 19D so I was wondering if you could do an evolution of scouts much like how you did one about the infantry
    3
  4167. Chris, luv the video...good job! 😎
    3
  4168.  @Taskandpurpose  I enjoy your videos and the jokes in them by the way. Keep up the work👍
    3
  4169. With all the parallels to the US Vietnam experience hopefully these conscripts will discover the tradition of fragging. It’s not like the Russian military hasn’t started a rebellion before.
    3
  4170. 3:10 that's the wrong Moltke. You were thinking about Helmuth von Moltke the older (bron 1800) but that's a picture of Helmuth von Moltke the younger (born 1848)
    3
  4171. There are some significant differences between M32 and M32A1. The marines only use the A1 version. Check it out. Also I've seen several videos of people dragging this along on their backs, with a sling, while ALSO carrying a rifle, in Afghanistan. :'D
    3
  4172. Keep up the great work. Thanks for the time and energy you put into bringing these very informative and fun videos addressing new weapons systems for our troops.
    3
  4173. Yet another reason I envy those jar heads.
    3
  4174. We have them in the army, We have them in our cage in SF but we never use it. It’s heavy AF but it’s pretty good at throwing six cans real fast. Takes a hot second to reload
    3
  4175. Great video again, Good Sir!!!
    3
  4176. Great job Cappy!!! Enjoyed the view from your military perspective which sheds new light on my opinions about the MIC and its purchasing of the Government via lobbyists. It doesn't vindicate them but it does allow me to see the necessity of it, from their point of view. Now, if you could do one about big pharma I think we'd all vote you in for President.
    3
  4177. Wow Cappy your videos are great in general but this was one of your best. Keep up the good work.
    3
  4178. One of your best videos.
    3
  4179. I mean - I hate lobbying, it should be 100% illegal. But the bigger takeaway here is the "Afghanistan Study Group" Just putting this out there - should NOT exist. at all. Determining when to pull out of Afghanistan should have been done by the JC's and the politicians. Forming a 3rd party group - that just seems like a great way to give money to a bunch of twats.

  4183. Guess what They simply aren't that good There are tons of incidents when chinese soldiers under UN ran away at the face of battle And that's when they had proper military hardware No surprise they can't do anything with their private soldiers too
    3
  4184. Great video. Thank you.

  4185. It's both terrifying and brilliant. Never underestimate the Mainlanders as adversaries. Their ability to maneuver through loopholes is like manna. They must be aggressively countered and out competed.
    3
  4186. o sure, good for developing countries if you ignore they’re not hiring locals and building effectively chinese enclaves shipping all the workers they need over. that these projects are often questionably legal and even expand into illegal mining and… that and the 4% you pointed out with collateral sometimes being airstrips and…

  4187. Can you get subtitles my man? Hard for me to watch otherwise

  4188. NATO's % of GDP is 2%. It even shows it on your chart. Do you not read your own material?

  4189. Honestly....love your vids dude. You make me laugh every episode. Just a pleasure to watch. I look forward to more dude.

  4190. Hay Crappy! (Tell me, Cappy, how many times have you heard that one? The "Hay!"; not "Crappy") but, even though having personally used "Hay!" a thousand-million times (that's 903, right?) (or is it British ((they don't speak "English," ya know)) for "The Big B"?) ... Oh, never mind. Even @71 I've yet to learn never to play on someone else's sandlot ... or, at least, don't bet on it. This is pinned under a video I actually watched a year-or-so ago, but you are a really gifted young man (remember, I'm 71, and can say such - with a touch of remorse, of course.) and so while awaiting the latest Task & Purpose, YouTube sent me on a retreat. THIS retreat. Honestly (after a bunch of lies already, what does a little "honestly" matter?), I'd like to see where you find yourself in another 20 years but, methinks, the odds dictate I'll be long gone. Good luck, My Man. I've really enjoyed your stuff (that is, "I've learned a bunch)(Oh, and laughed a bit at your style, too). Later. DC.

  4197. 31:56 praying doesn't work by the way. very informative and well structured video nonetheless 👌
    3
  4198. another video with a lot of mistakes ... the tunnels were destroyed because egypt war on terror when isis were in sinai wrecking havok and using the tunnels as escape routes for the attacks and it resulted on hamas capturing isis inside gaza and delivered to Egyptians later .
    3
  4199. You're really not breaking down the causes of the situation at all from the perspective of Palestine or or Hamas. They aren't just opposing Israel in a vacuum or for religious reasons or whatever. They see the blockade, the continued forced removal of Arabs from their land, and the settlement of the West Bank as a genocide. Regardless of the accuracy of individual weapons or whether a military target exists among the civilian population, Israeli bombardment of Gaza functions as terror-bombings. We will never be able to have a balanced perspective on this issue unless we can agree that Palestinians hold the same right to defend themselves against Israel as Israel does against the terrorists in Palestine.

  4209. That 40% of Iraq is very misleading. It's like saying someone has taken over a third of the USA by virtue of controlling Anchorage, Juneau and other key towns in Alaska which is about a third of all US land.

  4211. Just got done watching your interview with Ronnie at Funker530. That was awesome man and your perspectives are always so refreshing and spot on IMO. Keep sending it Cappy!!
    3
  4212. Off topic, but why does "soldier touch points" sound like the title of a military erotic novel?
    3
  4213. Chris, I know this is kinda late however there's a good reason why the SASR & Commando regiments use the M16 variants and not the AUG. Their mode of operations are not restrict by their vehicular mobility. The AUG is great for soldiers in APC's or trucks, special forces don't get around like that, they also think it looks a lot more badarse using a M16/M4 variant! 😉😃
    3
  4214. Wow, can't pronounce any city, but "Ed-209"? Nails the correct pronunciation that everyone gets wrong (It's "Ed" 209, not "E D" 209). Stay awesome, it's this stuff we love ya for!
    3
  4215. 50mm v 25mm rounds will be more than twice the fire power it youre talking about munitions on target - the formula for the area of a circle is pi R squared - i.e. it grows exponentially not linearly. The big news here is the US is buying foreign. Regarding the 3+9 too many eggs in one basket - not a problem, dony fill them with people, carry more ammo and supplies.
    3
  4216. Great video. But the fact that a region needs to rely on humanitarian aid to survive and even those are not being let through should say a lot

  4219. Bro Im begging you. It’s pronounced Al-ak-sa, not al-ask

  4220. Nice analysis but I would recommend studying cartel organisation a bit further. Killing heads of Cartels always generates a Hydra effect; meaning that for every head removed, new ones will appear. So yeah, capturing el Mayo was a major strategic blunder, in entirely Machiavellian terms, as it only served symbolic purposes. Unless the real objective was to justify Military intervention by the USA, which is part of Trump’s “promised” policy. 🤫

  4225. nice one
    2
  4226. LOL, another great video Cappy and thank you. We did the same stuff the scope does with wooden aiming stakes and platforms. Just a point. Cost effectiveness does play into combat effectiveness and I am one of those guys who believes in iron sights more than tech. You mentioned us old dudes in a previous video in unflattering terms and I accept that with a smile.

  4229. Task & Purpose I carry an M27 and the thing is very impressive IMO, but I don’t think it’s enough of a change to warrant a complete replacement of the M4. For right now only one man in a squad has it, but idk about the plans for the future. Personally I would love to field something like that sig but you know the Corps, always gotta be different
    2
  4230. The writing on this show is fucking atrocious I hope it’s a joke Good info though
    2
  4231. How many times have various people tried to replace the M4? Has it ever actually happened? No. Even if one of these is adopted for limited use I can't see it going any further than being a new toy for some SOF units.
    2
  4232.  @Taskandpurpose  I was scared to go to Iraq in Desert Storm with my M16A2! I tried to buy an HK 308 hunting rifle back in 1990 when I was in West Germany. They told me to fuck straight off. I was going to use M60 ammo to keep my hunting rifle fed. So, no HK but I did start carrying the M60 and that's the best I could do.

  4233. What is this 6.8 bullshit? 7.62x51 is less than a millimeter in diameter bigger but way more effective than 6.8. Stop fukn around!

  4241. One of them will be developed to near completion just before the army cancels the contract and, decides to keep the m16.
    2
  4242. I dont really know much about firearms and combat but is the 6.8 caliber going to be like the new multipurpose round? Shouldnt they use various ones? isnt modern combat more of either night raids/close quarters combats or long range encounters where you dont even really see the enemy but you suppress them anyway until your support assets like air or artillery blow them out anyway. Just curious, any answer would be nice.

  4248. That shitty background music has to go, dude. Just you talking to a camera delivering the information we want is the way to go.
    2
  4249. Dude I just wanted information, I didn’t ask for all these bad jokes. Your a gun guy not a comedian.

  4250. I'm a big fan of the bullpup concept, but I don't think General Dynamic could've come up with a more stupid-looking muzzle device, and I can say the same about the ammo.
    2
  4251. please don't give us Bullpup rifle's as an infantryman i would hate to be in a firefight with my magazine damn near under my armpit 😂
    2
  4252. I'll start by saying that the military just adopted the URGI to improve the M4, so it's unlikely any if these will get adopted. That being said, training is the problem. Not the weapon. it doesn't matter what new hyper lethal do-all weapon system we adopt, if 19 year old lance corporals are gonna continue to use their rifle as a support weapon and spray rounds at the cyclic rate at silhouettes 600 yards away. This is a fat waste of time and money. The only thing these trials will do is show what features from these proposed weapons can be applied to the M4.

  4253. I was a M249 SAW gunner in Iraq when on foot and a 240 gunner when mounted on hmmvs and I really liked the Sig stuff I'm going to be looking into theese more. Cool video
    2
  4254. I had the opportunity to handle the 5.56 version of the Textron rifle. It's balance and was just as handy as a pencil barreled AR-15, which was surprising because judging by it's looks it looks unwieldly as all hell. You also have an error in the initial spelling of Textron" as "Texetron" and you've added an extra syllable in your pronunciation.
    2
  4255. Bullpup just ain’t American sorry brother
    2
  4256. This is going to complicate logistics...another calibre ammo to source and supply. Could make interoperability with NATO 'interesting.'
    2
  4257. Off top it's not pronounced sig sour, it's pronounced sig sar. SIG SAUER. The u and e they are not enunciated. We dig?
    2
  4258. Chris - With the info available in your video, the Sig is definitely the best/most logical option. Blow molding polymer cases to exact measurements in ultra high volumes will be costly. Can I say then that I have paella arms? LOL.
    2
  4259. Its taxpayers money
    2
  4260. I've seen all those American chihuahua videos your guns don't impress us were coming to take back our colonies....Serious informative and humerous .Couldnt do one on American sniper rifles you've so many arms companies over there impressive?

  4261. Why tf u hating on the LSAT for design flaws that the MG u have a hard on for has?!

  4262. My dad was a second lieutenant in the Australian army reserves. He went up to Vietnam shortly after Tet in '69. He told me a story of seeing a NCO doing some weapons instruction on the M60 with young soldiers. One of the guys asked about the weight of the weapon. "Light in the morning, fucking heavy in the afternoon" was the reply. I'm sure instructors impart similar pearls of wisdom in the marines and army in the US. These new weapons might be lighter but that will just let guys carry more water and ammunition.
    2
  4263. Thanks for this bias video.
    2
  4264. there is no way plastic ammo stores for 20 years.

  4265. Slingshots gentlemen. No need to fight about it. I've already decided
    2
  4266. I'ma keep my ignorant comments to myself for a while yet. Great video. Thanks.
    2
  4267. I can see a M240 and M249 replacements coming out of this but not a rifle.
    2
  4268. Are we finally breaking out the Metal Gears?
    2
  4269. Cappy mentioned it, but lightly. The American public will not tolerate the casualties from a contested amphibious assault anymore. The Marines have decided that they need to be defending and in place quickly before the war starts. So they have to be light, and very mobile, but still pack a punch. A jungle island is not good tank country like the Middle East deserts are. So as long as the politicians don’t send them to do missions they are not designed for, it should work.
    2
  4270. The Marine Corps recognition that in the "Mature Precision Strike Regime" amphibious assaults on defended beaches is suicidal is Wise. The Force Design 2030's strategy is to create the conditions which force the enemy into suicidal amphibious assaults on Marine Corp defended beaches. "Generals are always preparing to fight the last war" At a time when progress in technology is controlled by Moore's law (computational power doubles every 2 years), preparing for the last war with Industrial Age dumb weapons is a recipe for a military disaster. Over 50% of Russian losses in Ukraine are now due to $400 FPV drones, more than all other weapons combined, and the ratio continues to grow. Neither mines, trenches, armor, or distance are a defense against drones.
    2
  4271. love ya dude
    2
  4272.  @Alex-pj8nz  I was referring to the point that Cappy said the minimum distance is 65 feet for the NLAW and the diagram shows it to be 65 meters which is more accurately 213ft (not 195ft as I said earlier). Yes it's clear it was too close to be properly armed.
    2
  4273. pvs14 at 300m??? Um hate to break it to you but at 50m whole platoons of 11b and not alot of metal pinging.
    2
  4274. Dude, you are the best! Thank you for these videos!

  4275. i appreciate seeing Cappy being outside🙌

  4285. God that new fancy version looks like something out of some space age sci-fi videogame. It looks like it’s designed to shoot something bigger than a .50, but it’s only shooting 5.56. Not a huge fan of some of the cosmetic styles of some of these new/prototype weapons, but this thing looks NASTY! In a good way though.
    2
  4286. Thank you for your great content, presentation, and grunt humor ("Joes gonna' joe..." Lol)! "Strike Hold!" my 11B Brother!

  4290. Not gonna lie, it looks kinda badass with a side magazine...
    2
  4291. bruh the music
    2
  4292. Thou shalt not criticize the magazine port! Blasphemy! However, I will concede that no one in the history of mankind has ever once used it. In fact, I don’t recall anyone ever even testing it just to see if it would work, except you apparently. I served back in the 80’s and my most vivid memory of it was soldiers “Assaulting” (running) and dragging a belt of ammo and tripping all over it because we had no good way to control the ammo.

  4298. You kind of touch on this, but I don't think you really get it. Basically, 'anti-corruption' campaigns in China by the CCP are most often driven by factional infighting. There is massive corruption in China, especially in their government and military...but that corruption is so systemic and pervasive that it is just part of doing business. They factor it into everything and on par with how the Russian government and military function, just with more money. These recent purges have more to do with Xi's faction trying to gain more power and control with the various CCP military wings (remember, China doesn't have a military...the CCP has various military branches, which they control completely) than it does fighting corruption. As an analogy...think mafia mob families. They are built on and benefit greatly from corruption. If they are fighting corruption, it's because they are fighting other mob families, or they want a better cut. The CCP is exactly the same.
    2
  4299. 7:13 Also, the source that states Wu GuoHua, the deputy of the Rocket force, died from suicide, is based off a Taiwan and US source. That is not necessarily credible information.

  4300. Shouts out to safety razors. I use a Merkur 34C, a Yaqi brush, and a puck of shaving soap, and I can never go back. (I wince at the sight of disposable cheese-grater razors and Barbasol. Massive garbage problem and a ripoff price for a terrible shave.)
    2
  4301. I remember thinking I was high speed when they started giving us a camel-backs.
    2
  4302. Agree to disagree. I see this as a very clear defensive action on the part of the Ukraine. The drones were NOT used to eliminate a political target or to threaten parties not directly involved in the conflict. The Ukraine struck out at a weapon system that was actively prosecuting civilization infrastructure targets (a WAR CRIME) that happened to be hiding in Russia. Boohoo on Russia. They have been decimating Ukrainian infrastructure for months. Have a look at the map. That attack could have just as easily landed in RED square. It did not!
    2
  4303. I agree it's an escalation and I fully get your point. Frankly quite reasonable. The majority of the internet is too emotional to get your message.
    2
  4304. Just to get this straight. The Ukrainians are not allowed to attack military aircraft that have been used to kill their civilians, at a military air base. Heavy bombers that are in the process of being prepared for another strike. So what other Vietnam era prohibitions would you like to place on the Ukrainians? Perhaps prohibiting the Ukrainians from attacking Russian rockets and SAM'S while they are at the rail yards waiting to be delivered to their units?
    2
  4305. Too bad the next great war will be fought through a war style called asymmetrical war tanks will be useless

  4306. Still a short barreled L44 huh... When you meet a long barelled L55 on a battlefield then you are fucked.
    2
  4307. Crunchy bitch.

  4308. Still the worst tank for tank to tank fighting. And it isn't the best in the world the French Leclerc and german leopard 2a7 are the best in the world not the abrams.
    2
  4309.  @Taskandpurpose  "We’re considering doing vs. videos comparing tanks / weapons etc to cover what you’re talking about" please do not there are thousand of such videos, full of false / misused information the comment sections are FULL of people who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, people who never worked or did anything related to ...anything relevant in this case i don't know why i still watch videos with tanks ... other channels found themselves with book sized comments from me , correcting most of their misinformation with physics , experience and so forth if you do however decide to make comparison versions , provide detailed information regarding a few battles they took part in and analyse their performances while taking as many conditions into account
    2
  4310. What I wonder is,why did it took so long to install a Trophy like system?...the Merkava has that installed for quite a few years now....as a side story,back in the days of OIF1,we(65MP Co(ABN) were in Mosul and had the M1114s up armored ones which were superior in protection to what the 101 guys were driving around,we thought that we were good...until we heard of an M1 that got blown up by an IED and the turret came off the body...yeah,gut punch.

  4311. Thanks!

  4313. Mr. task and purpose! Are the European countries around the Ukraine aggressively helping the Ukraine to repair damaged Russian tanks for use by Ukrainian forces? Seems to me this could be an incredibly good source of much needed armor vehicles for Ukraine. Also, it would be hard for Russia to argue that the Europeans were giving the Ukrainians armor if the armor the Europeans are helping the Ukrainians to repair were originally brought into Ukraine by Russia itself!
    2
  4314. Anyone else watch The Death of Stalin lately?
    2
  4315. I think that we can not possibly predict what will happen in war, there are too many variables and many of them, we don’t know. All we can do is tell the facts and be hopeful that good will win in the end.

  4316. What is the chances Putin has moved his army and eventually uses "Tactical" nukes on Kiev?

  4317. lol dude im starting to love you more and more with every video; im pro Russian and this one was such an emotional roller coaster hahaha! KEEP GOING dont change anything xD

  4327. I'm with you 100% on this crap they're trying to develop. Those full face helmets look like they would get fogged up or dusty. Be a hot a sweaty mess. Finally someone being realistic about this stuff. It looks high speed to people who have never been a grunt. But pretty sure everyone would ditch this crap before going on any patrol

  4328. Sir I don’t appreciate your video, every joe knows that either strawberry or blueberry poptarts chases down with a monster or rip it is the only way to go.... get out of here with that bullshit smores shit

  4329. The middle ages thing is kind of true kind of not. The middle ages was the poor man's depression everything was at a halt and many were poor. So the knights that could afford the steel armor that could stop gunfire were few and number. Most soldiers of that day werent even knights they followed there knights and they made up most of the army. They would have standard helmets that wouldnt cover there face and a small piece of iron that would cover there chest. While the average knight that couldn't afford the nice steel would be armed in iron which yes gunfire could easily get through. Plus there wasnt any formal formations for rifleman until much later. So knights that had firearms which was already hard enough to get there hands on would use it as a personal choice so amidst the chaos you would see a lone knight pull out a pistol or rifle and fire. It wasnt like what are learned about the 18th century where they had formation and all. Plus the standard iron armor for a knight that couldn't really protect against it would cost about 45 weeks of wages. So imagine having to pay for the steel and how much that would cost and how long it would take. That's why most soldiers and knights inherited there armor and swords. Plus cannons came along which unlike the catapults theres no way you could get away from in that heavy armor so yes in ways gunpowder did make it obsolete.

  4332. Thanks for the video, at first I thought this channel was one of those slightly lazy and quick military related channels, then I saw on this video your research and explanation of the history of the topic. Thanks for the awesome video my dude!
    2
  4333. Great video. Soooo funny. Actually missed some of the gags. Watched it a second time to make sure I got it all. I think on the second run through I got the ones I missed. Maybe I should watch it again?

  4339. With literally everything he just said.

  4340. BTW, The IOTV still tortures privates to this day.... Just in Basic training now.
    2
  4341. Honestly we just need for the people not on the field to start actually listening to the people in the field. As cool as it would be to stroll around and radiate big dick energy like Master Chief from Halo I have a feeling we’re quite far from that Mjolnir armor. R&D needs to go into useful equipment that goes out to ALL levels. Not just the night works guys. Give the infantrymen the same gear you’re giving Delta and we’ll be good.

  4346. Bruh, Smores poptarts ARE the best. You right tho
    2
  4347. China is actually the world's biggest exporter of body armor both civilian and military. Chances are that the armor you own is actually made in China but sold under an American brand. There are already numerous reviews and they are generally positive. Here is one example of Chinese made level IV plate successfully stopping multiple high powered rifle rounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyZE08y9oUY& This shows the strategic mindset of China at the moment, that they rather make money selling their body armor then equipping their troops at the moment. Any level IV plate that costs around 100 bucks is very likely made in China.

  4350. i think the exo skeleton was supposed to be easily taken off incase of emergency. i actually think the exo skeleton is an amazing thing as long as they can make it agile. there was a testing video somewhere where the soldier testing it really seemed to enjoy using it.
    2
  4351. Any body armor before being fielded should have to be used by the approving officers over a 30 day period for the amount of time it is expected to be used by troops in the field. And in the circumstances it is expected to used in
    2
  4352. Between the IOTV and the Marines MTV, it was like both branches were competing to see who could make the heaviest, most uncomfortable POS imaginable. That shit fleece lining on the inside of the MTV... because that makes sense in the fucking desert.
    2
  4353. S'more poptarts are the best.
    2
  4354. ever since the early gunpowder era that many generals believed body armor would diminish a soldiers fighting spirit, they felt the same in regard to trenches, to quote from a general, forgot the name, trenches only use is to hide soldiers from the enemy and make cowards, that only changed whit the machinegun,
    2
  4355. Those ending comments made it all worth while for me!! 100% Agree
    2
  4356. Wow, your delivery is so much better than the early episodes. Great work
    2
  4357. I feel that the AR stuff could actually be useful if it's built as a flip-on eye piece attached to your helmet. That mask is ridiculous though lol.
    2
  4358. It's interesting viewing Autopsy Diagrams of (Police) Officer Involved Shootings - the vast majority of GSW's are in peripheral areas of the body... Not too sure if the Military reports the same findings?
    2
  4359. Iotv is complete garbage. I don't understand how soldiers have access to buying a better plate carrier. But it's not authorized by the unit. PCS'd to Campbell thinking it was going to be "high speed" but here I am in a full iotv gen 2 because Campbell still uses old shit....
    2
  4360. Awesome
    2
  4361. you blew right past the heavy ass monstrosity that was the Ranger Body Armor (RBA, predating the IBA). that was the first use of SAPI plates but they were HEAVY. it can be seen in the Black Hawk Down movie. we (not a Ranger unit) got those issued to us in Bosnia and our chain of command had no idea how to use them (as our standard kit was Flak Vest and LBE) that HMMWV gunners had to wear that vest on top of the flak vest.
    2
  4362. Alright hear me out. If more gun will kill more people, what if we went the opposite? 1. Give everyone armor so heavy, no body can ever move. 2. If nobody can move, nobody can shoot each other. 3. Free McDonald's for everyone. Every human will die from stroke and diabetes. 4. ??? 5. World Peace
    2
  4363.  @Taskandpurpose  ok thank you
    2
  4364. Bashford Dean is one of the best armor resources. And thanks for mentioning the fact that Guns did not all of a sudden make armor obsolete overnight. Like you said, there was a few hundred years of coexistence.
    2
  4365. No one believed me that as a gunner we carried over 100 lbs. Daily. 1k in spare ammo in my backpack and countless 100 round nutsacks on my chest and that fucking body armor. I am 3" shorter today.......good times man, good times.
    2
  4366. You ever hear of those exoskeleton legs that go on the lower back and legs. It lessens weight load by 80% and can increase how far a person can run an insane amount. Check it out mate.
    2
  4367. This is an extremely interesting topic two me because there is no middle ground for the most part. You are either very well protected, and limited in motion and speed, or utterly vulnerable and agile. And then since our goals include full protection in a slim, mobile and human looking suit, it will soon beg the question on why we don’t just send robots to do our deeds. We’re getting very close to full AI warfare it seems like, with drone strikes, overall more tactical warfare and even straight of robots learning what we instill in them. If our soldiers and Marines become fully protected in a suit that is only limited by their endurance, why not just send a robot who can’t get hurt, or tired, and possibly will even be controlled by a human. Excluding malfunctions, we’re trying to make these biotic-exo-skeleton-sci-fi-out-of-this-world advances and it almost seems silly to even have humans risk life at all. That’s my 2 cents, I just find that an interesting outlook on things.
    2
  4368. Your wrong on the Date on the "Went Overboard" they issued that Heavy Shit in 2006 . I had just came home from a Tour Jan 06' I trained up again 06' to leave in 07' but they gave us all that Heavy ass crap 06' the vest we used in 05' was perfect, but that weight was horrible the plates were thicker the weight was 56lbs W/O All the other equipment we we had to use ! Let me add when a Solider fell that was carrying a SAW forget about it he was like a Turtle on his back ! But that goes to say it was bad for all of us ! Because if you had to hit the ground it take you 5 minutes to get up because it was so heavy !
    2
  4369. I need to push back on the comments made about the armor used by the Germans during ww1. To be fair the quality of the steel used was hit or miss in its quality. Some of it was very low quality steel that could stop shrapnel, but not rifle projectiles. Yet some of the steel that the Germans had was capable of stopping rifle projectiles, like .303 British, 8mm Lebel or similar cartridges of the day. This sort of armor was used for anything from simple additional plates that could be used for extra facial protection for machine gunners, that is why early stahlhelms have those nubs on the sides of the helmets, or even as stated in the video full torso protection, usually for the sturmtruppen, stormtroopers.

  4371. Doesn’t show the real Ned Kelly or his amour. Disappointed
    2
  4372. Could you not find an actual picture of Ned Kelly?
    2
  4373. So true. Nothing pissed me off more than when my unit took my IBA away and gave me an IOTV. Except for that time I had my IOTV perfectly fitted and they made me turn it back in and gave me a "new" one with messed up velcro that didn't work and didn't even have the rip cord ran properly.

  4379. Shit, when I was in Iraq a lot of times we used to kind of joke, but actually be serious about ditching the MTVs (Modular Tactical Vest, hoorah) while on cache sweeps or other such missions because sure we might die, but we'd actually be able to do our jobs AND we'd die with a lot less back pain.

  4384. @Task & Purpose 07:41 you like the face shield? If you're a soldier you know you can't have a proper cheekwell with that thing on. It's only good for those gunners on Cupolas who don't need a cheekwell.

  4391. I would pick +20 armor over +10 spirit. (I am a warrior not a wizard)
    2
  4392. Commies don't issue body armor to there soldiers because they look at them as cannon fodder, expendable, battle-hardened soldiers that have survived many battles are a force multiplier in many aspects. Experience in brains make a soldier extremely dangerous on the battlefield when they survive!
    2
  4393. This was a great vid!
    2
  4394. The iotv is the worst thing ever made. That thing should be burned.
    2
  4395. I was in the Infantry from 2009 to 2012 and i think i had the gen2 of the iotv and i fucking loved it over the iba... It was way more comfortable and easier to move in than the iba, and fully loaded didnt hurt me back at all in fact it helped it compared to the iba unloaded and no side plates hurt my back to high heaven...
    2
  4396. Fire, maneuver and natural cover are the infantrymans most important "body armour".
    2
  4397. Fascinating. More like this please!
    2
  4398. Let the soldiers choose what they want to use.
    2
  4399. Oh man that knee pad joke was great
    2
  4400. A company was developing a scalemail type. It should be even better than the current issued. I actually thought you would have included that: https://youtu.be/THQwO7-JMvE
    2
  4401. I heard final fantasy’s victory music.
    2
  4402. I assure you the IBA was far worse than the IOTV ever dreamed of being. A vest so bad that the generals who bought it have been proven to have taken bribes
    2
  4403. Where did you get the t shirt?
    2
  4404. Hahahaha got me subbed!! Can you imagine facebook ads in visor of that ironman helmet, or 'you just bumped into jihad jane' badoo notifications seconds before you open that door, could be a real lifesaver!!
    2
  4405. I love this guys dialog. But the gun looks like it’s running him, instead of him running the gun lol
    2
  4406. 1:40 I laughed so hard :D
    2
  4407. Why do you shoot with your rifle shoulder away from the target? Squared up or leading with the rifle shoulder should mitigate recoil and target requisition.
    2
  4408. I'm sure Maraging steel is really cool and high tech but listening to everyone say it I keep thinking "I can't believe its not steel"
    2
  4409. I get Cappy’s stance etc. aren’t great for recoil mitigation but troops in support roles probably won’t get much time to master shooting that little beast, right? They’ve got other duties to train for.
    2
  4410. Can't see a grunt using anything but the shortest barrel possible, regardless of what the mission is.
    2
  4411. that thing has got some stiff recoil
    2
  4412. im a little sad textron lost out, of course all the rifles are amazing but the textron feeding and ejection system was very very interesting
    2
  4413. Dude, I really enjoy your work but two things come mind watching this - 1) lean into the weapon when you fire, you won't get knocked around so much and 2) Increase the length of pull on that stock. I cringed watching you get smacked in the nose with the receiver during recoil. Otherwise great video. Eager to see what comes out of the 6.8 program.
    2
  4414. Yea good luck with that recoil
    2
  4415. CAPPY IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED BATTLEFIELD 2042 YOU NEED TO AND YOU NEED TO SEE SOME SIMILARITIES…. Just saying bro, that game and number 4 idk they are trying to tell us something look into it. The locations, weapons, countries included ect… bro just look at it and just pay attention to small detail. The Simpsons did it too you know…… much love and respect from a fellow guard dog!!!!!
    2
  4416. The Tim Dillion Merch was wild to see.. lovely
    2
  4417. You said you try to read everything? I want you to know that i always enjoy watching your vids and you are funny. Thanks for brightening my day whenever you poat
    2
  4418. Maybe I missed it in the video, but how does someone control it? To they use voice command or something?
    2
  4419. I had a feeling video games prepare us for future technologies such as a hud
    2
  4420. dont let john wick see you planned on shooting a pupe.
    2
  4421. Sounds like a Winn, Brad!
    2
  4422. Surpringly similar to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter’s tech. If this actually comes to fruition, I imagine that the applications for this technology will be boundless. But just wait until even this tech becomes obsolete...
    2
  4423. America and their 'freeeeedooom'
    2
  4424. I'm getting Metal Gear Solid 2/4 vibes from this program. When can we expect the Nano-machines, tho?
    2
  4425. Yeah, no way that the special forces will use it. Seems more like a scam than actual equipment.
    2
  4426. Tactical Pug
    2
  4427. I have developed apps for the hololens. The tech is here and while the hololens weighs like 2 pounds the weight is mostly the battery and silicone boards. If you remove the weight of this from the head to the back it probably wont even be noticeable when you have 70 other pounds on your back. Im not a soldier but having the ability to look up gps information and see where other soldiers are located I would think would be highly usefull information.

  4428. I was the first Stryker brigade. 3rd (now 1st) Brigade 2ID The Ghosts. 1-23 Infantry, baby!!!
    2
  4429. I love your shirt.

  4431. OIF4 3rd Brigade, 2nd ID. 1st SBCT. I've been in Strykers and I've been the Command Gunner on the Bradly. Hands down Strykers are God's way.
    2
  4432. Nice video keep up the good videos.
    2
  4433. Any commentary on Strykers vs USMC LAVs, either vehicle or doctrine-wise?
    2
  4434. Take it easy with the self-depracting humour Crappy, you're gonna end up needing therapy!
    2
  4435. Bro fix your teleprompter. Like half of your sentences sound weird or cut off
    2
  4436. MST3K!! WOOOO!
    2
  4437. I am going to go watch "Mystery Science Theater 3000" after this video is over. Great show.
    2
  4438. *Strykers
    2
  4439. jesus fuck he is so biased
    2
  4440. Did they add more cushion to the seats cause Stryker ass sucks 🤧
    2
  4441. Great channel great content. What is the background music? Please advise ty
    2
  4442. Very good coverage Cappy, however, I hear no solution here. What, you can't solve the worlds geopolitical problems?
    2
  4443. "from gaddafis point of view he saw western countries once again taking advantage of his nations resources"... and that was his job! ^^
    2
  4444. Thanks!
    2
  4445. sounds like every pentagon project like clam chowder veggie soy mres the m14 and mrap with cage kit
    2
  4446. Yes please more videos like this
    2
  4447. Is it sad that I still like the M26?
    2
  4448. If you guys haven't seen the movie Pentagon Wars. Try to find it. It's about another shit show army project the Bradley.
    2
  4449. Good job task & purpose. This is really funny
    2
  4450. You are leaving off the biggest difference too. Our defense contractors are a monopoly robbing our government. China's defense contractors are part of the government getting equipment cheaper.
    2
  4451. could you do a video about the differences of the big 5 military contractors, like why congress members chose to invest in raytheon and not gd or maybe they did, idk that's why i think it would make a good video
    2
  4452. Anyone interested in this battle should watch “11days and wake up” that’s a documentary/movie of this battle
    2
  4453. Work on your audio it sounds like there’s labored breathing that makes it hard to appreciate your work and give the story the respect and attention it deserves
    2
  4454. Every heroic deed, hides military incompetence. Read memoirs of Julius Caesar during the garlic war: he left the base with fewer troops, and Caesar hid this mistake by telling the story of a brave legionnaire who defended by himself a gate
    2
  4455. Did they use the original ArmA in the recreation footage? Just curious
    2
  4456. Why was the title of the video changed? What happened?
    2
  4457. Good video. I would love a video about your thoughts on the pentagon papers and the military industrial complex.
    2
  4458. Great video
    2
  4459. I dont think you emphasized how bad the tonnage difference is as china has less than half the tonnage we do, its like getting concerned because they have a bunch of fishing boats
    2
  4460. Un ironic hooooah
    2
  4461. good job.
    2
  4462. Missed opportunity in the intro of Cappy wrapping himself in green screen cloth with his head only visible
    2
  4463. Your best video ever!!! Very informative. Good job Marine!🇺🇸
    2
  4464. Hey Chris you seemed a little down lately you okay bro
    2
  4465. Love the videos man, appreciate ya. Thank you.
    2
  4466. I'm pretty sure Goat Guns are underpowered. Cappy, can you confirm this assessment? ;))
    2
  4467. I liked how you associated the MG338 with a Doom weapon...
    2
  4468. Is this the RAAL from warzone
    2
  4469. I would watch a video that was just the adventures of goat guns
    2
  4470. Mg338 is back in call of duty
    2
  4471. U put in so much effort into that ending lol
    2
  4472. Thanks!

  4473. Latin is not the root of all languages. It is the origin of all Latinate languages. This is a silly thing to say.
    2
  4474. I think he said teeth, but I'd love it if he said "...to shoot the enemy right in the teat..."
    2
  4475. Latin is the root of all ROMANCE languages...
    2
  4476. One of then best answers to a frequent question.
    2
  4477. Ah, yes, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Call of Duty soldiers selector XD.
    2
  4478. Latin is the root for all languages? Yeah, no, not even close. But since you’re just a leg, i’ll give you a pass on this one. ;P
    2
  4479. I feel like Sig may win this one as well! Sig is killing the small arms game and can't wait to take more contracts. Sig has been growing continuously to provide innovative weaponry
    2
  4480. None of these will ever replace anything in current service due to a laundry list of issues with each weapon/cartridge configuration. The most likely thing to come of this is a decision on the next generation cartridge configuration. I doubt that any of these (current configurations) will see service even in small numbers. Sig has the best rifle in my opinion but the cartridge and machinegun are not substantial improvements over currently existing(not necessarily fielded) 5.56/7.62mm systems. General dynamics has a great looking rifle (should have made it eject downward like keltec) in arguably the best cartridge configuration but the fact that it's a bullpup will almost certainly (unofficially) disqualify this design. The textron system is just asking to be shelved. The telescoped round while super lightweight is just asking for dirt to fill up the open cavity at the front of the cartridge. The textron weapons appear to be a product of someone who cares more about the question of "can we make a telescoped cartridge work" rather than "should we even try". The only thing textron has going for it is the large sums of money and man hours the military has already wasted on these designs. Idk how we've arrived back at 6.8mm again. It seems like a step backwards. What ever happened to the 6.5mm rounds they experimented with a few years back? I just hope the jackasses that picked UCP instead of multicam isn't in any way involved in this selection process or our boys and girls might have real issues in the future. What's with these requirements??? 130+ grains is far too heavy, especially for their target velocity of 3000fps. 6-6.5mm bullets give you better armor penetration potential as well as external ballistics for equal sectional density and/or overall length. I would think these would be things to look for in a "next-generation weapon system" don't you? 100-120 grains in 6-6.5mm @2800-3000fps feels much more reasonable and achieves all the same goals at lower weight. With all the improvments velocity, sustained energy, weight, recoil and trajectory any difference in downrange performance would be easily thwarted. If Sig had teamed up with true velocity they'd have stood a chance, instead this competition will just fade in to obscurity like all the previous attempts to "replace" the M4/M16.
    2
  4481. I am glad he mentioned the FN SCAR, what is wrong with that?
    2
  4482. In order to truly decide, we would have to fire all weapons. I don't think a 10-minute video would be enough to make an informed decision. Still a great vid though.
    2
  4483. Please lose the background music!
    2
  4484. Why not use the 6.5 Grendel?
    2
  4485. First of all wtf is an M16? Moving on, the M4 platform is perfectly fine. You can improve the the M4 platform by changing to a very high quality barrel/bolt/trigger/magazine and rounds. The M4 platform can be as balanced between performance and price as much as the military wants. You can build a 400 dollar M4 or a 6000 dollar M4. A lot of the issues we had in the service is because of the overused magazines and barrels that had gone out of spec but where not being replaced/refreshed. We do not need to invest money in a new weapons program.
    2
  4486. Once you yanks get the 6.8 weapon, I hope it soon joins the British army to replace our pea shooter.
    2
  4487.  @Taskandpurpose  We have the saying: A grenadier never asks for forgiveness...only for harsh and just punishment ;-). Thanks for making these videos, good quality and very informative. I like them
    2
  4488. How can you be a "former veteran"? Or do i not get the english right here?
    2
  4489. They always knew the 5.56 was too small to be really effective, the FAL was a superior weapon to the AR16-15 from the beginning, but weapons manufacturers had to make their profit so they pushed their inferior gun, for the small cost of tens thousands of lives.
    2
  4490. The army already did this same kind of test in the 90's with the caseless ammo. These look a lot more reliable though...
    2
  4491. Siggy
    2
  4492. See the textron to me seems more. Complicated and complicated can mean more difficult to field strip and fully strip and maintain your rifle making it liable to be neglected. As we’ve seen with the L85 a bull pup pattern is terrible for long range engagements. Sig sauer is the only one I’ve actually seen a solid video of them mud testing the rifles and they look damn good. That’s just my opinions I could be wrong. And I agree the txtron looks super bulky like even more so than the fn scar
    2
  4493. Textron - more parts, less reliable. right on about rates of fire. 338 means reach out and touch someone ;)
    2
  4494. Good video. This is the kind of content I that makes the gun nerd in me all hot and bothered! Subscribed. Thank you. Merry motherfucking Christmas fellas!!
    2
  4495. Where'd you get that shirt? It's badass!
    2
  4496. Arma 3 has bring me here.
    2
  4497. First off, great endcap to those who don't like your videos, I loved it. Second, here is an ammunition idea: Similar setup to the caseless, but the casing DOES deform when fired and is compressed into a tiny little "puck" before being ejected. At the ejection port there is a Guillotine to cut the remains of the case to ensure ejection. This is more of a near-caseless or semi-caseless design.
    2
  4498. You shave above your elbows as well I see
    2
  4499. Horribly narrated. Poor man forced to read que cards
    2
  4500. Ey man, stop looking at NSFW stuff at work.
    2
  4501. My bet on SIG sauer
    2
  4502. The 338 seems really nice! Both 6.8's seem like a HOS though. Easy way out? Chamber an AK in 6.8 and you will never look back. They can even be nice and as the Russians to build it for them.
    2
  4503. This is your first video that I've seen. Not gonna lie when you called the SCAR a home wrecker I laughed a bit too hard.
    2
  4504. U.S Army. Fixing what ain't broke since 1776. Seriously. I can see why people are comparing the nay sayers to the ones who opposed advances in the past but this time is different. This technology is in no way refined enough to even be considered for adoption. The Army is fucking up majorly. Edit: Plastic, caseless, compound case ammo etc. It's all a joke.
    2
  4505. I laugh and learn with every new video of yours I watch. A rare and much welcomed combination. Great job!
    2
  4506. love your vids...one point though...you are not a former ARMY veteran until you are in the ground. You are an Army Veteran. Thanks Sarge. Out.
    2
  4507. I need this shirt!
    2
  4508. TASK AND PURPOSE YOU DELETED MY GLORIOUS NEXT GENERATION MODULAR RANT POST ON THE OTHER 6.8 VIDEO YOU BIG MONSTERS! NOW HOW WILL PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT NEXT GENERATION MODULAR UNDERPANTS?!
    2
  4509. Getting ready for WW3 I see...
    2
  4510. So Arma 3 was right
    2
  4511. How tf would I clear the textron
    2
  4512. The CCP thanks you for the video.
    2
  4513. Textron LOOKS WAY WAY TO COMPLICATED TO work on the battlefield. It looks like that complicated the fuck out of a ar10 for no great increase in performance.
    2
  4514. I don't know like anything about guns so I could be wrong but I thought the m27 or m27 IAR was replacing the SAW?
    2
  4515. Still do not understand how Textron version seems more bulky? Would love to overlay the Sig Sauer and Textron as I think they are quite similar. Barrel location with respect to hand guard seems to be different, but almost identical. Textron does have that slight bump at base of the hand guard/lower receiver area, but seems insignificant (nothing additional that would cause things to get caught on...like stated cords etc).
    2
  4516. Very well made video! Keep it up was shocked when I saw you didnt have over 100k subs.
    2
  4517. i wont call you a weakling but maybe lift weights hahaha
    2
  4518. Haha America must be leaving NATO America vs. The rest of earth 2030
    2
  4519. Textron one is very different than the other, the caseless sabot like round looks quite promising i think, especially for SAW gunner using that with belts, its going to be a weight saver
    2
  4520. You should label parts of gun before talking about it
    2
  4521. So I gotta get batteries for my wepon now, o boy
    2
  4522. Could you just change the 8 to a 9?
    2
  4523. Shit I am the only one can't understand about general dynamic's rifle mechanism?
    2
  4524. Great video
    2
  4525. Great video Cappy! Gonna be interesting to see how it all plays out.
    2
  4526. recoil will be an issue, to achieve fire superiority in a firefight you need to be able to keep a higher volume of fire than the enemy is throwing at you, and I know even the strongest soldier will be affected a bit by this, but the problem is not in the individual soldier, its an overall kind of thing, if a soldier's ability to fire rapidly gets affected by lets say just 5 % it seems like an ok tradeoff for a more accurate longer range more powerful rifle, but now you need to apply that -5% to every soldier in the armed forces and also the women and scrawny soldiers will get more affected than the arbitrary 5% , that coupled with the lowering of standards for PT and the new carebear approach the armed forces are adopting, will result in weaker soldiers overall, yes you gain more accuracy, you gain more range, you gain more stopping power, but the average grunt is not a precision shooter by any means and having a more accurate rifle wont make him any more lethal because the first component of accuracy is the training of the individual. In other words the gun is only as accurate as you are. So in recap you got weaker soldiers and higher recoil, what could go wrong? I wonder. Anyhow we are better suited with just upgrading our m4 carbines with 6.8 uppers instead of getting an unproven firearm, also looking at the magazine it looks like its a 20 rounder so you get less capacity, also you get to carry less ammo, less crates per truck less trucks per ship etc etc etc. I say Issue this to designated marksman and just find a different cartridge to convert our existing guns to that is an in between.
    2
  4527. Glad you liked my state.
    2
  4528. Cheers, Cappy! Happy 4th!
    2
  4529. You looked okay with it but the other shooters looked like they could hardly lift the rifle. Everyone looked to be leaning back. Lean forward into the weapon and brace. At least that’s the way I was taught in the UK military. Would love to try this rifle out. I was Tier 6.5...
    2
  4530. Sig should make an airsoft version and that would be really popular
    2
  4531. SIG issues Cappy ammo. Cappy: Sempai noticed me!
    2
  4532. How much this new 6.8mm is better than old ak 7.62x39mm? I know its better performance but is it really that big difference? Compared to 5.56 there is really a big difference. Im waiting going back to 7.62x54r :P
    2
  4533. Hi Cappy did you get a chance to fire on auto/burst as no soldier single fires their weapon like a bolt action in a fire fight, what's the controllability when firing burst of full auto? If you can only single fire it effectively then what's the point? Also just because optics let you see the enemy at 800m does not mean the average soldier can hit them. Thanks in advance
    2
  4534. Cappy you are tier 1 in our hearts
    2
  4535. any news on the other bids? or is it only sig
    2
  4536. What people don't realize too is I think Sig is on something with their hybrid case technology being that we can implement it with 556. Like the m4 on steroids. I think the sick spear will be a designated marksman's rifle at best. There's no way every single soldier On the front line will be shooting this there's no way in hell I would use this to clear buildings. future conflicts are going to be nothing but urban warfare. Again just imagine using this case technology for 556 and giving the m4 300 to 400 more FPS the 556 would be no f**** joke especially within 300 m which 5.56 is king 👑
    2
  4537. That part about the .277 fury is misleading. Those are stats coming from sig themselves. The .277 fury isn't even out to the public yet.
    2
  4538. Cappy. Standing shooting is a thing now with new Army standards. Recoil would be an issue with new female infantry especially for promotion points.
    2
  4539. About that tan trend, it's actually called coyote brown or flat dark earth in other color schemes. Some bureaucratic sicko is trying to implement these color schemes into the "Public Policy" mechanisms as official colors for the U.S. Army. They already did with our combat boots, it's only a matter of time before it's applied to all military equipment. In all fairness though, that's going to be the typical color you see on the battlefield after destroying all life on earth including vegetation. Yes, it's all politics and bureaucracy over at the DOD. #FML
    2
  4540. That gun is beating the crap out of Cappy :D
    2
  4541. Aside from the rearward recoil what is up with the odd rotational movement, with the optic moving off target to the right, then whipping back past center line to the left, before returning to center??
    2
  4542. Wow outstanding video! I'm curious to see how this will work out between the three competitors, and if the military will piss the money away again like they done on every other major Battlefield rifle change process!
    2
  4543. 5.5/223 is full power cartridge. Not sure why you keep say this new cartridge is full power cartridge
    2
  4544. it has been determined your neck injuries are not service related.
    2
  4545. If you came up with that joke comparing the gun to a civil servant, well done Cappy....that was actually witty and hilarious.
    2
  4546. I've commented once before on your other videos, thank you for an informative video. It was actually quite interesting to sit and listen to the history of the L85.
    2
  4547. Little does he know....We use Imperial too.
    2
  4548. I am a fan of your channel, we didn't fight in Argentina we fought in the Falkland islands, I am a British army vetran
    2
  4549. Ooooh, a good video to wake me up!
    2
  4550. Yo' Cappy! Suggestion here: ¿Maybe a depiction of the different war doctrines around the world?
    2
  4551. Is it Hooha or HUA?
    2
  4552. Hey.... Can u throw some light on Indian Army's 2 new induction - AK203 from Russia and Sig Sauer from USA ? ....
    2
  4553. Should do another update on the NGSW
    2
  4554. Love that you googled what a tactical chunder is, tho nowadays we call it a tacy Barry
    2
  4555. Most British people use pounds when weighing things like guns. That entire skit was pointless
    2
  4556. its not pronounced "sus"at it's pronounced "sue"sat = susat
    2
  4557. I love how you pronounce Heckler und Koch as Heckler and Coke :D
    2
  4558. Ey up chuck, Brit here. Cheers for the vid m8 but maybe no toking on the bong before you record your vids next time ;)
    2
  4559. Chris can you answer this question. There have been pictures posted to social media of an Israeli Sparrow rocket motor that landed in Iraq. Since the warhead is unpowered how far would it glide after separation from the booster rocket? Does it have a glide range from Iraq to the S300 that some claim was destroyed? Also, I have seen social media satellite images taken after the alleged attack and there is no indication of damage. Have you seen satellite images post-incident that clearly show damage other than that dubious "radio" image? Thanks

  4560. why do you feel like you need to educate this guy? he’s reading and citing a report from a legit news source. you’re too busy pointing out the inaccuracy of a photo that an editor probably googled and added to the video that you’re missing the whole point. is that all you got from this? close your eyes and listen next time if the photos are too distracting for you.

  4561. u r biased
    2
  4562. So, do you think Putin will win. And if the Russians take the whole of Ukraine could they be bled dry by a long drawn out insurgency?
    2
  4563. You have to rely less on Ukrainian sources, many of things you've shown in the video are proven fakes, for example the losses the russian sources obviously don't count DLNR casualties, that's why it looks low, the mig shooting the house, the konotop airbase was captured day one and other things, but seems like overall it's the truth. Also, check better about the speed of tank divisions or battalions in battle formation before saying it's catastrophic failure.
    2
  4564. Great analysis! Thank you! Still the best analysis I’ve seen so far of what’s going on right now. From a long-term viewpoint, do you think it would be better if the Ukrainian surrendered now before the Russians begin using much more brutal tactics? Unfortunately, my thought is that the Ukrainians are dead Man walking. About the best they can hope for is that perhaps they can convince the Russians down to slaughter their families as well as them but they are certainly not going to survive this. If they keep fighting they’ll be killed and if they surrender they’ll eventually be killed.

  4565. Thank you for doing these videos. I just came across today's video and found it insightful, and educating. I then watched this one and felt the same. I never comment on videos. So kudos to you for driving me reach out and say thanks. You will understand when I say this - I hope you don't have content to keep making these, and I can soon stop watching them - specifically in regards to Ukraine topic.
    2
  4566. Excellent explanation "why" war happened is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4. Check the date of video - how early it was clearly to predict. Actually its true order for RU forces - save civilians and infrasructure. Real aim is UA nacists. However, now UA forces in cities really use civilians as sheild - thats why so many people cannot use green coridor to way out. Its really hard. In addition there are problem with marodeurs - weapon was given to any who want it. Now there are bands inside cities. Im wish that all madness stops asup.

  4567. Why not attack North Korea? Oh yeah, that's because they have nuks to PROTECT themselves. Maybe having nuks isn't always a bad thing?

  4568. In Spain it has not had problems because the barrel has been manufactured by a Spanish company with higher quality steel than the original German.

  4573. Chris, just wanted to let you know that, amongst videos of German soldiers shooting the G36, you also included (I guess by mistake) some of Italian Bersaglieri shooting the Beretta ARX 160A3. Cheers

  4574. Excellent information! Thank You! I'm sure it will help some Solider, Airman, Marine and Sailor that are struggling.

  4578. That country song was straight fire bro 🔥 🔥
    2
  4579. Oh man, that''s some shitty analytics, again. You mixed in normal data and not even propaganda, ya just misunderstood points and interpreted them in favor of your narrative. You can contact me, I'll try to help you get and analyze the data you need for the next video. I'm a Ukrainian citizen from Donbas.
    2
  4580. I like how this analysis is so proud of finding Russian sources and all the people in the comments are patting themselves on the back for being true researchers—then proceed to blather on about how this all supports their conspiracies. Ukraine is winning the war because Russia is a shit military. They are shit by design. Putin's cronies have robbed their military and kept their chain of command neutered as to never pose a threat to the Kremlin. We're just witnessing how shitty it actually is. There's no conspiracy that will reveal Russia's real plan, or their real professional soldiers. Life is just mundane sometimes.
    2
  4581. No military advantage in sending in untrained conscripts in first? You underestimate the lack of scruples of Putin. While they may be ineffective, they are killing, causing casualties, and using up the Ukrainians limited military supplies. Meanwhile the Russians have less mouths to feed, since their chaff is dead, minimizing logistics, and they can advance against already fatigued forces with their best trained. Whats upsetting is the willingness to throw away lives on part of Russia.
    2
  4582. Here’s the flaw in your argument about a balanced approach video. You assume your sources, which are Russian ‘state controlled’ media outlets are sending out accurate information. They are known to be masters of propaganda and disinformation.
    2
  4583. “Driving my stolen T-93 with my spiked ice tea.” Russia left me, my wife left me, my dog left me.
    2
  4584. “There’s a farm in Ukraine with a hole in it’s field there’s a tank in the yard next to John n that deer if want his tank back the keys in the dash but I’ll be taking it back next week inna flash” I think I made ur hit country song
    2
  4585. Kinda ironic to say he can't criticized democracy because he has freedom himself but then you say how we need less freedom in order to band together to defeat a common enemy. Yikes. If Russia invades I'm joining them, how's that for freedom?
    2
  4586. I almost never comment on videos, but I really have to say thank you for the great videos and information.
    2
  4587. "We are smart enough to figure the truth out for ourselves"....cappy, what world are you living in, people believe the earth is flat bro, I don't know if I agree with your assesment of humanity
    2
  4588. Great analysis! Thank you! Don’t worry, you have not reached the level of a Tucker Carlson and I doubt very sincerely that Russian TV (a.k.a. their propaganda outlets) are going to use your reporting the way they are using Tucker Carlson‘s reporting!
    2
  4589. Video Topic Suggestion: The End of the Manned Armored Vehicle & Large Artillery Era In the mid 1930s, aircraft were too slow and unable to carry enough firepower to really threaten battleships - but aviation technologies (airframes, engines, weapons) were exploding at that time and 10 years later it was apparent to everyone that the era of the battleship was well and truly over. Today, drone technology is exploding (smaller size, greater range, less weight and volume, more loiter time, man portable, more explosive force, easier to use, fire-an-forget, AI target identification, drone swarms, wider range of sensors (including TV, IR, radar, motion detectors), etc.) and the Ukraine war is conclusively demonstrating that the era of tanks, armored personnel carriers, and large artillery pieces (both stationary and mobile) is over. For the weight of one (1) main battle tank - 100,000 lbs - you can fly in 1,000 to 2,000 Javelin or Stinger missiles. It is hard to come to any other conclusion that we are witnessing the "Pearl Harbor" moment for manned armored vehicles and large artillery pieces that will largely chase them off of future battlefields. As a student of warfare, you might want to think about (if you haven't already) what modern armies will look like and of what they will be composed in the next 10, 20, and 30 years. In this case, I emphasize the relative near term because the changes we are seeing are so dramatic.
    2
  4590. A good friend of mine was lamenting about the suppression of Russian media in the west. Thinks that people are smart enough to weed out propaganda. That same friend is also neck deep in COVID conspiracies and thinks the COVID vaccine is poison. Perhaps it's for the best that he can't access Russian media.
    2
  4591. Low morale comes in different levels. Iraq war low morale is nothing compared to for example the Siege of Stalingrad low morale. How can you possibly build miles long pipelines when you don't even have air superiority, makes literally no sense. Enjoy getting your pipelines constantly bombed and shelled I guess? Lots more just blatant logical flaws in this video.
    2
  4592. Great video, just cut the stupid jokes, please.
    2
  4593. Intressting thing is that the next day you posted this theire was a counter attack in the south side pushing the russians from Mykolavi ateast according to live map
    2
  4594. Wait, how are you suppose to put out electrical fires? Lmao
    2
  4595. As an aged veteran and military historian, I cannot agree with your assessment of the current conflict between Putin and Ukraine. I caution viewers of this channel to be very skeptical of the motives behind even producing such a video. Russia has the second-largest force globally, so of course, there will be victories, but that’s not the point. This is real life and not a sideshow for us Americans to consume. Discount any content offered from the Russian state as propaganda out of the gate — they are masters of misinformation. Russia IS poorly waging this war and, above all else, is creating a humanitarian crisis of untold proportions, all the while committing heinous war crimes along the way. To fully understand the real reason behind this conflict and who is to blame, you should watch Frontline’s “Putin’s Road to War” as opposed to the video he cited.
    2
  4596. Sorry this is bs. 1) russia telegraphed all its moves for over a year before they attacked, and I'm sure that both sides had spies in each others territories. So the Ukrainians had lots of time to plan how to meet this attack. 2)with 290000 active 150000trained reservists,and at last count 17000 foreign volunteers that's 457000 trained soldiers,so the russians are outnumbered almost 3:1 on the ground. And that's not counting 100's of thousands of armed civilians. 3) the Ukrainians have completely taken the initiative, they are dictating the entire tempo of the war so far, they choose the where and when to attack, when to stand and when to retreat 3) The pissed away all their advantages by attacking on 5 different axis, not one of which is mutually supported. The are also launching up to another dozen smaller attacks as well. 4)They have crap logistics, only in the south,which is essentially empty prairie, have they made any kind of progress. Everywhere else they've gotten nowhere and ran out of fuel while bearly Inside the country 5) their morale and command and control sucks,no evidence of proper combined arms coordination at all and these issues are cancerous to an army. So all in all,not only are the Ukrainians holding their own I think that they even have a shot at winning this
    2
  4597. Good to see someone calling out that expert. Dude makes a great argument, if you assume that this is a WWI world. He completely dismisses the existence of soft power and of how modern nations are moralistically driven, as they need to answer to a voting body. Which is why you almost never have wars between democracies. Instead he acts like Ukraine went from a Russian puppet to a EU puppet. Like it's position under Russia is the same its position would be in the EU. It's extremely flawed but works quite well if you're looking at it from the emotionally disconnected hypothetical view.

  4598. Great information. Don’t go into County Music. Keep making videos.

  4602. Thanks Cappy! I've really been looking forward to hearing some feedback from the soldiers who'll be actually carrying this new weapon into combat.

  4608. Real question is how much shit did you break in your apartment making this video? lol
    2
  4609. the fact these earpro are only just coming in now is stupid iv had a $40 pair off amazon for over a year now there amazing for at the range

  4610. 4:43 I love the Chris Crappy field test LOL 😂😂😂😂
    2
  4611. Hey dude, you may not be tracking, but the highest Temps have been above 130, as they were when we crossed the berm in 2003.

  4612. The neck can't! edit: Also the pasgt showed up in the 80s

  4617. Protect your head. Thats common sense. Now can we find military that is right in the head?
    2
  4618. Modular you say. So ... helmet mounted grenade launcher?
    2
  4619. It was 130 degrees in Death Valley last year. Get your weather man on, Cappy.
    2
  4620. I love how your Airsoft gets tacticooler from episode to episode :D
    2
  4621. Thanks for this information thanks.
    2
  4622. hi ;)
    2
  4623. 1:40 "BUTTSTOCKS ARE FOR THE WEAK!!!"
    2
  4624. And what about the level of ventilation in the helmet? Will it be comfortable to travel long distances with her in the heat? And will the mask not be filled with hot steam?
    2
  4625. Pasgt helmets did not come out in 2000 at all? Are you trolling me?
    2
  4626. Yes for the love of God give us the military this helmat the ach is big pile of steaming shit. Its old its outdated it needs to be phased out please.
    2
  4627. So, US soldiers are getting what UK ones have had for years.
    2
  4628. Love you bro, got a bunch of laughs from me
    2
  4629. I think this got traction because it looks like something straight out of Sniper Contracts.
    2
  4630. Is this Fresh-Cut Cappy?
    2
  4631. Modular? Modular you say? Count me in.
    2
  4632. Waist of money bro. AK-74 bullet will brake your neck by hitting helmet. The developers know this.
    2
  4633. well... if you put it exposed on sun on hot hot day its melt time i guess... because temperatures are measured in shade
    2
  4634. Probably asked to death, but won’t the mandible guard get in the way when aiming a rifle? You point out the excellent usage in the gunnery position on a vehicle or such, but if forced to switch to a carbine or rifle, won’t that be hella awkward to aim? Long time fan, first time poster!😋
    2
  4635. Hey cappy is the new helmet compatible with the ivas system
    2
  4636. Cut is to high when hot metal is flying from other things than bullet your gonna want more helmet of course it’s lighter when it half the fucking helmet
    2
  4637. Mister Cappy, thank you for your videos, you handsome devil. A voice of reason and logic :) The new HALO Master Chief type helmet looks interesting...
    2
  4638. Um being within 2 degrees of melting point in 127degrees is not a good thing. It’s gonna be severely weakened and if it’s 127 outside and you leave the helmet in a vehicle that is 150 inside from sitting in the sun, you got a melted helmet. It’s gonna need a melting point of 200 to survive the deserts

  4639. Supporting comments for the algorithm

  4646. Sorry, but as someone in this industry the premise of this video is just stupid. This is still an open competition and the Bell Invictus literally hasn't left the ground yet. Chris Gehler calling it reliable is akin to me saying a unicorn with a 50 cal on it is reliable.
    2
  4647. I’m holding out for the 720.

  4658. Wait a minute! Iran was not part of the blockade of Qatar. I love your content and I know it’s difficult to always be on point as a content creator. But knowing that Iran as a country that shares a massive gas field with Qatar would never make such a hostile move against its partner.

  4673. Regardless of what you think of the measures, it is a democratic country and the measures have a massive popularity. There is no use lecturing them. Even if you view it as a mistake, it would be their mistake. Even other countries in the region are trying to channel the success. I hope they are able to process through the innocents they swept up, but I still view their actions as nothing short of a success. The fact that a children's soccer match hit international news because it was between kids in two neighbors barred from meeting by the gangs speaks volumes.
    2
  4674. Its 7am,its cold,you have hot chocolate in your hand,the blanket is perfect and a perfect video ❤
    2
  4675. glad to see this come to the main channel all polished up!
    2
  4676. This is one of the best videos I've seen in years. Well done Cappy.
    2
  4677. Everyone go check out the task and purpose discord to see videos early!
    2
  4678. I disagree... this man was born with courage...he just needed the skills to tap into it... many men have gone through the training and then faltered and ran away when it came down to it... your either game or your not..

  4679. Great video really inspiring
    2
  4680. Im 25 and kind of in that spot of my life where i feel stuck and like i dont have much of a purpose. Am starting to seriously consider joining the Army but i guess there is a part of me that doesnt think itd be right for me. Yet there is something special about the comradery and brotherhood you share in the military that intrigues me.
    2
  4681. No way this video wasn't getting my like
    2
  4682. Another day asking for a video of the brazilian IA2 assault rifle. As a proud patriot of brazil I will persist any video until my mission is accomplished

  4683. Love this video, and would love more like this in addition to your normal content!
    2
  4684. Team wipe!

  4685. I liked the tone of this one.

  4686. like and comment

  4687. This book is beyond amazing. It would be gruesome AF as a movie adaptation though!
    2
  4688. 4:41. It’s “Peace” hotel. The name was translated to English at some point but the video authors have thought it’s transliteration. Actually It would be “Mir” or “Myr” if transliterated.
    2
  4689. T-64 or 62, Cappy? Those Russian tanks you showed on railhead were 62s. BIG difference from 64s--which are actually more like 72s.
    2
  4690. You used the twitter feed I sent you👍
    2
  4691. Great video and breakdown as always. Loved how you took the time to give us a real-life example of the distance of the river crossing, so we had a better gauge of the distance than satellite images allow. Looking forward to seeing you reach 1 million subscribers and beyond. P.S. I just became a member.

  4693. Please correct me if I am wrong, as I have never worked with these weapons and never handled them, aren't 240 Bravo's just very heavily modified M60's?
    2
  4694. Please redo this video now you have developed a lot more as a channel
    2
  4695. Have not watched video. Saw title. Dont care what your reasonings are. Immediately dropped a like. Now i will watch the video.
    2
  4696. Honestly the 320's double action trigger is too heavy to pull, I feel it could be lighter, trying to have a good consistency with trigger pull was affecting accuracy noticeably. The safety keeps it safe. Let me pull the trigger when I want to.
    2
  4697. call me old fashioned but i prefer lugging an m79. and that was on top of my f88, 66's, browning hi power, and mag 58 when i wasnt carrying the 84 CG.

  4698. Do Africa next!

  4699. Hey there! I really enjoy your videos—thanks for putting out such great content. Just a quick note: it's actually called a JCET (Joint Combined Exchange Training), not a JTEC. Keep up the awesome work!
    2
  4700. Chris you’re a great YouTuber and I love this content but you gotta work on your pronunciation. Oh-Deh-Suh, not Oh-Dee-Suh
    2
  4701. Boy You got it wrong... You look it from COMPLETLY wrong perspective. At this point they try to save something but its way to late for that, lol. You should talk with people who actualy been in russian army and have bit of idea what level of corruption, miscomunications and reports that are not based of facts but writen to please supperiors. Try to understand, its not real army, its a mob.. And now where foregin legionairs (actual military pro-s) are starting to get there and into battle (Ukrain side).. next few days we should see some intresting stuff. Just a little hint, theres atleast 3 CONFIRMED kills on russian high military comanders in few days. That alone should give You something to think about ;) If You invide someone and less then 2 weeks (thou it was planned to be mostly over in a week) You have 3+ high ranking officer dead and Your officaly largest supplyer of heavy machinery for oposing army.... only word that can be used is "Pizdets"

  4707. Hey in your video about the javalines from last month you said Ukraine got a batch. How is that working out?
    2
  4708. Excellent video thank you

  4709. Let's be honest, bro wanted to show off his new bike
    2
  4710. You've got to be kidding! Chuck Norris did it far better on his stealthy matt black motorcycle c/w machine guns and rockets in Delta Force. Back then the world was much safer with Chuck and Lee Marvin in Delta Force and Charles Bronson commanding the IDF in the Raid on Entebbe, Lewis Collins in SAS Who Dares Wins! Charlie Sheen in Navy Seals, and Tom Cruise in Navy Flight school as Top Gun, what could go wrong? 🤣 A hybrid is not super stealthy, yet a full electric is!
    2
  4711. That whole laser thing you were talking about doesn’t really apply because aircraft can deploy laser guided munitions and guide them to the target with on-board laser equipment.
    2
  4712. Very good 👍👍👍
    2
  4713. I see your video, I click like
    2
  4714. Bro the way you're placing these ads is very annoying. Follow other successful channels and either place the ads at the beginning or the end of the video... not thru out. Really takes away from the video.

  4715. Hire a sherpa or switch to RM277.

  4720.  @Taskandpurpose  anyone would at that point but that's the thing they would never give us peasants that much lol and funny you or any other channel replied i was just thinking why you never reply or heart these comments saying this
    2
  4721. Ummm...the max speed on the odometer you showed....was 240kmph.....NOT 220mph.....sorry.
    2
  4722. "A Series of flaws" As opposed to what you incorrectly said, that they encountered; "serious flaws". Did I pass your attention test, Mr Cappy?
    2
  4723. great post

  4727. Beter then most westernt videos, respect
    2
  4728. First video, I have seen from this guy. I love it :D
    2
  4729. Really excellent episode!
    2
  4730. Looks like it has a ton of recoil though….
    2
  4731. Plastic to the Basket.
    2
  4732. But what about the satisfying sounds of brass hitting the ground? 🥺
    2
  4733. Love you
    2
  4734. I was about to comment on the trigger! It looked like you were really having to pull that thing rather than a squeeze
    2
  4735. You have crazy eyes when you shoot :)
    2
  4736. Great review, thank you.
    2
  4737. Poly to the gully!

  4738. Great video, brother! I sure hope you're right, and that polymer ammo works! If it doesn't, our troops will pay for it's failure , with their very live's!

  4739. As a former member of the UK armed forces, both reserve and regular, and having worked in the civilian-run UK defence equipment organisation, I’m following the progress of the NGSW project with interest. Before I start, appreciation to Chris Cappy for the time and effort in making these videos – it takes a lot of work and he’s bringing some interesting insights into the subject for us all. There’s a lot said about the advantages/disadvantages of bullpups, and I sense a deep conservatism among some US forces personnel against bullpups and in favour of conventional layouts. Some of the criticisms about bullpups have merit, but others really don’t. One of the experiences I had in the UK forces was the switch over from the conventional layout L1A1 SLR (ie. the UK’s version of the FN FAL) to the bullpup SA80. The SA80 famously had reliability issues, but that only applied to the A1 version and were pretty much fixed from the A2 version onwards. Besides, the reliability issues didn’t have anything to do with the bullpup as a concept. So, leaving aside the reliability thing, what were the experiences and advantages of moving to a bullpup and away from a conventional layout? In a word – good. Actually, very good. It might surprise some viewers but everybody, from cooks and clerks to elite infantry, could carry it, operate with it (ie. go in/out of buildings and vehicles), shoot it, hit targets and generally be more effective with the bullpup SA80 than the SLR. The long barrel inside the short, compact, weight-to-the-rear weapon and a x4 optical sight is what generated these advantages. It was so easy to shoot that training times were shorter and accuracy standards were revised upwards. Yes, there were the old-school grunts who complained about it not being switchable to the left shoulder and the (supposed) lack of punch of the 5.56mm round. But the tactical doctrine of Western armies is that tactical dominance and manoeuvre is achieved by suppression not simply out-and-out power, which in turn requires sustained accurate fire. In my experience, a bullpup achieves these things better than a conventional layout rifle. In fact, the British personal I spoke with who had come back from Afghanistan praised the SA80 and even felt that when it was replaced it should be with another bullpup. In sum, I think the US forces should take a very close look at the General dynamics RM-277 and not allow innate conservatism of some areas of the military, or some of the myths around bullpups, to prevent them from having what could well be a real improvement in their combat effectiveness. The RM-277 gets my vote.

  4740. Why did you need to wear camouflage at an indoor range?
    2
  4741. From brass to the grass to plastic to the planet
    2
  4742. "your absoleutely right, im just having fun! cant i have some fun!" lol do you bud, imitation is the highest form of flattery...not to be confused with impersonation :)
    2
  4743. 6:40 "Ceramic to the pavement"
    2
  4744. How hots the barrel? Wouldn't the polymer cases just put all the heat in the barrel instead of taking a lot of it with it when it leaves like a brass case? Im no scientist, but its a little fishy that they still gave it a 20 inch, but reduced the powder load.
    2
  4745. Assuming those are 20rd Magazines, If you take 7 mags from an M4, that totals up to 210rds but if you have thye new magazines and ammo, 7+3=10 so 10 x 20 =200, so not only would we carry less rounds, but the magazines even though they would be lighter, would take up more space than the M4 magazines we already use. Also not to mention, we'd have to have new mag carriers built to fit on vests and belts. This weapon, while cool and versatile as it is, would never be adopted by the regular US armed forces but would probably be used by Special Forces only. It would also be a waste of money to buy them because special forces have access to other weapons like the FN Scar which is already very light. TL;DR: Cool concept and design but ultimately too expensive to adopt in my opinion.
    2
  4746. dude, please fix your plate carrier setup. I'd love to help you if you need.
    2
  4747. Chris I am GLAD that you showed the uninitiated that this round is NOTHING like the 6.8RemSPC. It is basically a 6.8 mm bullet in a 7.62x51 NATO case without the shoulder. I personally am one of the 6.8RemSPC round's CHAMPIONS. I LOVE IT. The 110 gr from SSA is a BEAST on ANYTHING. This "NEW" poly cased 6.8x51mm COULD have some IMPRESSIVE POTENTIAL; less recoil, less barrel throat deterioration, longer barrel life, extended range, and possibly accuracy. Of course another of that is up to the choice of bullet used and propellant used. I am VERY CURIOUS as to the PERFORMANCE of the CAN!!!!!
    2
  4748. hey dude, fellow new yorker here (from brooklyn).. I've been subd to your channel for a while now and really enjoy your content but reason im writing is I just wanted to say thank you for your service! God bless!
    2
  4749. i love how in a video showing how much the West operates in bad faith against China only to act like everything America is saying about China today is totally true and not simply apart of that legacy of colonial ambition built on lies. This guy is truly a propagandist who knows exactly how to disinform in the right way to make his points more believable to his audience, wouldnt be surprised if this dude is funded by the NED, or some other spook org
    2
  4750. Thanks!
    2
  4751. Hey that's the new raal lmg from warzone!
    2
  4752. I'd like to see the recoil measured. It's doable, but manufacturers might not want the results published.
    2
  4753. how are the taliban our rangeing the US soldier with 7.62x39? that shit drops like a rock after 400-500 meters
    2
  4754. Happy you visited the 603 cappy!!
    2
  4755. She's so pretty, I wish could own one!
    2
  4756. I just found your channel man i love it! And i bet it does have a downfall. I bet one of those would cost at least 5k. Especially if the military complex is buying it
    2
  4757. Cool, looking forward to the 338 video and hope to see the General Dynamics Squad MG video soon.
    2
  4758. This is the ultimate example of a weapon and caliber built for the last war.
    2
  4759. bro when he had himself cropped into the class i died
    2
  4760. Capps ya done good.
    2
  4761. Song at the end is lit fam. Lit..
    2
  4762. I love how much I learn from your videos, and your presentation style, but it would be really nice if you could sync your mic/sound qualities when doing cuts. That jump from "studio sound" to "using my earbuds because I'm in a hurry" feel is very distracting.
    2
  4763. Great analysis! Thank you. I understand Google is expending lots of money researching how to create robotic videomakers. Watch out?!
    2
  4764. Rock paper scissors. Drone beats tank. MANPAD infantry beats drone. IFV beats infantry. Tank beats IFV. Javelin infantry beats tank. Drone detects javelin infantry and calls in artillery. Artillery beats javelin infantry. Et cetera. Same like chess: you don't advance pieces into hot zones without coverage. Bottom line: aircraft and javelins don't hold ground, grunts and tanks do. Combined arms is the name of the game.
    2
  4765. could you do a piece on the "switchblade" drone America has developed? its the next step in kill drones...
    2
  4766. wasnt it seal team 6 who took out bin laden
    2
  4767. I thought DevGru took out Bin Laden with the 416 not Delta?
    2
  4768. Not even gonna watch this video. I only sub to this channel for updates to the Next-Gen Weapon System contract, assuming I haven't already learned of them prior to any video made. The M27 (Leave the "IAR" out because that concept was dropped) is replacing the Marine Corps' M4 rifles. They will not replace any of the M249s. In case you neglected to mention it in this video, which you shouldn't have because of it being one of the rare instances where one weapon platform has two separate military designations. Apparently if you remove the issued Trijicon ACOG w/RMR from an M27 and replace it with a Leupold Mark 4 MR/T 2.5-8×36mm scope & add on a Knight's Armament Co. NT4 5.56 suppressor, you now magically have an M38 SDMR, even though it still says "M27" on the lower receiver. Very odd, why not just add the "SDMR" part of the name to the M27 when it has that optic and suppressor? Will there ever be any M38 SDMRs that actually say "M38 SDMR" on them instead of M27? Doubt it. How stupid.
    2
  4769. Yes... we do not trust you enough to have full auto. Because we do not trust you. Pray and spray. Remember Vietnam? Full auto has its place but not often. Shooting accurately is more important most of the time.
    2
  4770. What is the roll of the m27 IAR?...... to go pew pew pew
    2
  4771. Just subbed to your channel man...well done on the contents 👍🏻
    2
  4772. The Osprey has killed more US soldiers than the Viet Cong
    2
  4773. So you dont pick after all.
    2
  4774. I have a moderate to severe case of entrenched enemies. Is JDAM right for me?
    2
  4775. So are you telling me to go talk to my doctor for some JDAMS? You think my insurance will cover the cost?
    2
  4776. Random comment to help with algorithm
    2
  4777. Cappy...my man. What you said about Taiwan's military having to be on constant alert and spending million's of dollars also applies to those Godless commie bastards (and whatever the hell they call their commie money)...the PLA, PLAN, PLAAF is under tremendous strain physically, logistically and financially. The CCP is undergoing tremendous economic stress...gearing up their military is draining off money they need elsewhere.
    2
  4778. You appear on Newsmax and NOW it's ties? You're moving up in the world. Now be truthful, did you tie it yourself or is it a clip-on?
    2
  4779. China’s economy cant take a war
    2
  4780. The Union held the high ground with interior lines at Gettysburg.
    2
  4781. This video is really drawn out
    2
  4782. Its because it's fucken Dice !! There the reason why it's hard too put real guns in games because they have crazy military connections
    2
  4783. The Russel Crowe comment. ROTFLMFAO.
    2
  4784. You forgot to mention that the military intentionally tried to make the rifle fail.
    2
  4785.  @Taskandpurpose  No worries but i still gotta mess with you because there was certainly some non sense in this vid.
    2
  4786. Yes I would watch
    2
  4787. Ends weirdly suddenly, but I like the humor
    2
  4788. That wound thing is a myth, light ammunition tumbles when it hits a target, light ammunition is absolutely horrifying if that enters yours body heavy ammo hits straight through a bone and makes a big hole on the other side light ammo hits the bone and then starts bouncing around ripping everything to shit, there’s been people who have had an entrance wound in their lower abdomen and an exit wound by their neck with everything in between destroyed. 5.56 is a nasty round
    2
  4789. Love your videos notmally, but you got so much wrong about the Mongol and Napoleonic armies.
    2
  4790. We should issue three tanks per one soldier. It worked for the Mongols. taps temple
    2
  4791. Robots won't lighten the infantryman carry weight it just means the officers will find more shit for us to take. "Oh the robot will carry your ruck, here is 100lbs of si... Oh dont forget your combat diaper since you dont have a ruck you can afford the extra coverage"
    2
  4792. BRUHHHH A FUCKIN SKIMMYTAR?
    2
  4793. Solid video! More stuff like this, however for feedback Im not a fan of the pictures having some weird oil painting filter.
    2
  4794. The patented armor was removed from the Abrams tanks before they were shipped to Ukraine so the Russians could not obtain the armor.
    2
  4795. When are you going to talk about “belgorod”?
    2
  4796. There is a lot of visual confirmation for the shot down aircraft. Plus accounts from Russia sources..
    2
  4797. It is a recoilless rifle, not a rocket launcher.
    2
  4798. 900 km I think he mean meters
    2
  4799. Thanks!
    2
  4800. Thank you for a well-researched report, done without malice. France demanded to be compensated for their loss of property aka slaves. Part of why Aristide was overthrown in 20004 is because he was leading an effort for France to repay that money. Barbecue got the name because his mom sold barbecue chicken and Jimmy is a popular name in Haiti. Gang violence is mostly in the capital and the Artibonite region. There are 2 international airports in Haiti, PAP and CAP
    2
  4801. i did see a video from Haiti of a gang member just roasting and eating a human leg. so not sure its an urban legend.
    2
  4802. Thanks!
    2
  4803. There is no mention of "post victory" reconstruction plans of modernizing Haiti, so it is doomed to fail from the start, since the cause of what gang growth is not addressed.
    2
  4804. Thanks!
    2
  4805. Will the Kenyans be getting Drone support? Both to combat and neutralise the gangs Drones and for the greatly enhanced situational awareness it'll give them. Having constant monitoring by high resolution Drones will give them an edge in small unit operations. As well how's the Dominican Republics military doing? Making sure they have the capability to stop the chaos spreading to their country should be an important objective for the international community.
    2
  4806. Thanks for the update! I am very interested to hear your updates on this, as well as the Myanmar civil war, as both seem to be more or less ignored by most newsmedia.
    2
  4807. Informative video. I'm afraid the strobing focus during the historical photos section was very distracting.
    2
  4808. 1 - You criticize other ways of using MG without actually knowing details on how are they used in other armies. They are not just "dumping PKMs there and treating them as another rifle". 2 - You claim that you will prove how heavier m240 is better than lighter PKM. I don't see how replacing m240 with another gun that does exactly the same but is lighter can degrade the performance of a machine gunner. Perhaps m240 handles heat better? But that wasn't mentioned. Also, a newer Russian PKP is known how it can withstand prolonged shooting very well. Comparing it to m240 would also be interesting.
    2
  4809. How many spare barrels are typically carried per FN MAG in the weapons platoon? Is this the same for the PKM in other countries? I read in a first-person book about a Marine platoon in war that barrel replacement can be tricky--specifically getting the right headspace. How long does it typically take to switch barrels? Thanks, Chris for your in-depth information sharing.
    2
  4810. Incredibly educational video. Thank you!
    2
  4811. Thanks!
    2
  4812. How close to the edge is the Russian army. We know about the fuel, armored vehicle parts, and personal gear, but how many 152mm shells do they actually have? How many Grad missiles? Is this a case when if Ukraine keeps getting aid that the Russians will run out catastrophically? BTW we did see much of this in their SU-55 aircraft. They can't really make them. Also we know their internal chip fab companies can't make anything below 400 nm.
    2
  4813. What about the corruption in the US, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
    2
  4814. Corruption is everywhere. For example, do you remember Donald Rumsfeld claiming that 2.3 trillion dollars was missing just before 9/11? On September 10, 2001, then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld disclosed that his department was unable to account for roughly $2.3 trillion worth of transactions. The next day, the U.S. sustained the terrorist attacks that changed the world, and this startling revelation was forgotten. When an account discrepancy occurs that cannot be traced, it’s customary to make what is called an “un-documentable adjustment.” This is similar to when your checkbook balance is off by, say, ten dollars; you add or subtract that amount to make everything balance with the bank. In 1999, the amount that the Pentagon adjusted was eight times the Defense Department budget for that year; it was one-third greater than the entire federal budget. By 2015, the amount reported missing by the Office of the Inspector General had increased to $6.5 trillion—and that was just for the army. Using public data from federal databases, Mark Skidmore, a professor of economics at Michigan State University, found that $21 trillion in unsupported adjustments had been reported by the Defense and Housing and Urban Development departments between 1998 and 2015. That’s about $65,000 for every American. There is no sign that the government’s internal auditors have made much headway in finding the missing money. Jim Minnery of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service traveled the country in 2002 looking for documents on just $300 million worth of unrecorded spending. “We know it’s gone. But we don’t know what they spent it on,” he said. He was reassigned after suggesting that higher-ups covered up the problem by writing it off. He’s not the only who thinks so. “The books are cooked routinely year after year,” says former defense analyst Franklin C. Spinney. According to a 2013 Reuters report, the Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with a 1996 law that requires annual audits of all government departments. The Pentagon has spent tens of billions of dollars to upgrade to more efficient technology in order to become audit-ready. But many of these new systems have failed and been scrapped. Predictably, the government did not race to correct the problem even after investigators sounded the alarm. Skidmore contacted the Office of the Inspector General but was not permitted to speak to anyone who had worked on the corruption report. Both the Congressional Budget Office and the Government Accountability Office assured him that congressional hearings would have been held if there was a significant problem. When Rumsfeld eventually did appear before Congress in March 2005, his testimony offered no substantive answers.
    2
  4815. Comparing corruption in the Russian vs American military, I suspect that the US contractors simply build the extra profit into the system. You just charge $100 for a screw. The money gets lost by the tax payer, sure, but the important screw at least gets where it’s needed. The fighter jet flies, the satellite transmits, the cannon fires. Money gets “stolen” but the military works.
    2
  4816. You still have friends from Mushada Cappy!
    2
  4817. I would definitely join your anime club
    2
  4818. Bull pup? Next ...
    2
  4819. Love it
    2
  4820. It is looks like a very bulky piece of junk and very unreliable in dusty/wet & cold/hot environment Plastic loose it’s elasticity in freezing cold and becomes fragile In extreme heat it becomes soft or expand and may cause weapon jammed I am not sure about muddy,dusty&wet condition
    2
  4821. I kinda clicked on the video for the express purpose of finding out wtf that crazy suppressor looking dick head on the end of the barrel was all about, but nah totally ignored it in the video lol
    2
  4822. Love the video!
    2
  4823. Another great one Cappy. Youre my favorite
    2
  4824. use the imperial system more please! I have no idea how much is 7.72. And I bet I am not alone
    2
  4825. love the new intro dude
    2
  4826. Cappy, you're wrong about the ZK 476! The Czech ZK 476 WAS adopted not just by the then Czechoslovakian Armed Forces (which originally designated it as the samopal vzor 48 vysadkovy or Sa vz. 48b or, in English, "submachine gun model year 1948 para", but later decided to rename it the Sa 23, Sa 24, Sa 25 & Sa 26 but it's most famously known as the CZ Model 25!), but also by, among others, Lebanon, Libya, Nicaragua, Chile, Cuba, Poland, Syria, Vietnam, & even South Africa! Believe it or not, it was even used by the CIA-backed Cuban counterrevolutionary exiles during the failed Bay of Pigs invasion! So, NO, the CZ 25 is NOT a failure but a clear SUCCESS! That's why the Israelis copied & improved on it to produce the Uzi! Pretty much the same way the much later Galil assault rifle was actually derived from the Finnish RK 62 assault rifle, which itself is actually a much modified & improved AK-47! Also, if you've seen the latest iteration of the Uzi, the Uzi Pro, the damned thing sort of resembles the latest toy laser pistol used in Laser tag! Remember that game? If you don't believe me, look it up! ENJOY!
    2
  4827. Damn it Chris this is the fifth phone that I've shot, you're not going to get me next time!
    2
  4828. Cool info. And btw, nice fangs dude. You're right up there with Ricky Gervais : )
    2
  4829. Can you make a vide on the IA2 brazilian assault rifle?
    2
  4830. Excellent analysis sir
    2
  4831. uhm, the AMRAAM is FOX -3, not FOX-1 pal...
    2
  4832. Wow! Salute!
    2
  4833. Godspeed
    2
  4834. This channel is about to make it big! Keep it up.
    2
  4835. What's the music for? Think we might get bored because there was no music?
    2
  4836. Without these brave men I'd be speaking german ! ! A million thanks ! !👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
    2
  4837. Task & Purpose, This guy deserves to have a movie made about his heroics at Battle of The Bulge! A real hero.
    2
  4838. GREATEST GENERATION for sure !
    2
  4839. More like the battle of my bulge. It was a very very small battle /:
    2
  4840. Solid fuckin' video.
    2
  4841. Beautiful video. Great work.
    2
  4842. Hey can you make a video where you give an overall structure of the roles in the army
    2
  4843. This dude took on Normandy and battle of the bulge. Holyyyyy shit.
    2
  4844. Brave chap, well done 👍
    2
  4845. The infantry's heavy machine gun was a .30 cal not a 50.
    2
  4846. One hell of a soldier who Americans are indebted to.They should make a statue of him & put it next To George Washington, but I'm sure some panny wanny illiterate would come along wanting to tear it down since they don't want to learn facts about history & turn everything into a race issue, idiots! Nothing more dangerous then people only stating half the facts about anything all because they want to ignore the whole truth so one can twist facts into their perspectives which usually benefits ones ignorant own asses!
    2
  4847. Gigantic balls
    2
  4848. Excellent summary and a great way to remember the Battle of the Bulge!
    2
  4849. I don't really like guys who say negative things in the comments section I was taught that if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all, but the ass who put a thumbs down on this comment screw you.
    2
  4850.  @Taskandpurpose  everyone loves a hero, bro. This is definitely gonna go well. Thanks for all the stuff you do and have done. Merry Christmas!
    2
  4851. What a bad ass
    2
  4852. Awesome
    2
  4853. Another great video mate
    2
  4854. Thank you so much for posting this video. What a great American hero. Truly selfless heroism. We need to honor men such as this and teach our youth what character really is.
    2
  4855. what an amazing story of an incredible man
    2
  4856. It's 13B homie, not 12B. You have no idea how much danger you have placed yourself in saying that, lol.
    2
  4857. Great work Cappi love the channel
    2
  4858. I'm assuming plastic cased ammo cannot be reloaded. This makes it incredibly desirable to an anti civilian owned firearms government. Stock up on your brass cases and components while you can.
    2
  4859. it has great potential. but further test in every environment is still needed. I remember the german typewriter machine gun that has caseless casing didn't implement though or may be the only problem of this ammunition if there are fake ammunition in the market it might derail the safety of the person who fires.
    2
  4860. I miss knife guy.
    2
  4861. China has waited for 74 years on this issue. Why is there all the urge to invade at all? Regarding the US assessments on Beijing’s invasion timeline, it reminds me the “bomber gap” back in the 1960s. Eventually it will become a self-fulfilled prophecy.
    2
  4862. It has seat belts, right?
    2
  4863. Look like WARTHOG in HALO GAMES
    2
  4864. i suggest they make armoured segways with mounted weapons
    2
  4865. True, too many SF guys killed or wounded over the years using side by side ATVs and 4 wheelers from IEDs and gunfire. No armor in a IED world= death
    2
  4866. speed is life
    2
  4867. Fast offensive
    2
  4868. Better than the up armored crap we had in the ghan back in 04-05

  4869. Why do infantry guys think everything is made for them?! Lol- the procurement of vehicle's for combat falls under the ARMOR branch. This vehicle is for recon and special missions it's not for direct combat! Example ! Hummer was made for head quarters units and SCOUT'S until this war! You guy's made fun of us conducting sneak and peak with them, then all of a sudden you guy's wanted to conduct direct action, SMDH! the hummer is dead and the jtlv, mrap is a bust! REGULAR Infantry over expect much!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  4870. Has it an AC power inverter for the squad espresso machine? If not, then no go!
    2
  4871. As drones get more advanced and their availability gets wider, so will the countermeasures. Lasers to mess with and hopefully disable the sensors, lasers to heat up and hopefully explode munitions, lasers to accurately track and destroy the drone with hopefully other lasers... Man, the future really is closing in on us fast! As for Russia and China, if they invade, just mess with their satellites with - you guessed it - lasers. Like a rave in the sky!
    2
  4872. Meanwhile in the pentagon: So, out tanks are exploding, make a new upgrade package and stick a big laser on top so we can stop that. “Why not just make a better vehicle?” …… Fire him. Now.

  4873. Excuse my ignorance…just smoked a J… why does the tittle say it needs to chill out, kinda like what im doing right now LOL

  4874. That plate carrier behind you looks Air Force "SF" clean. (You know, Air Force Security Forces.) They could be seen in the DFAC at their reserved table at deployment hubs like Manas, or Arifjan. Their gear went from their lockers, to the truck, to the DFAC and back without (heaven forbid) ever touching the actual ground. How clean was their gear? CIF would immediately accept a return of their gear clean, that's how clean. How can I take you seriously as an 11B with gear looking that clean? Did you get sucked into HQ PLT to work as a PAC clerk? (Maybe you're a leg?) 😂🤣 Keep up the good work! You make some good videos. (For a leg.)

  4876.  @Taskandpurpose  I agree with you completely. Isn't that what the comment section is for? So commentors can pick apart every minutiae of detail from your video no matter how unrelated from the video it is?
    2
  4877. A fun fact. If you look up to original hebrew word that was used for kill in the "thou shall not kill" verse it better translates to murder or the taking of innocent life not all forms of killing.

  4878. What an absolute chad

  4879. I'm from the same county in Tennessee as Sgt. York was. He was a great guy, but I was beat over the head with his story every year I was in school. I think I watched the movie about him at least once a year until I turned 18.
    2
  4880. what did he think of world war two
    2
  4881. No one gonna mention the sleeping fur potato on the couch... I see ya bro
    2
  4882. If y’all were thinking of making this format of video a semi regular to very regular type of video for your channel, well, I’d say I wholeheartedly agree with that notion.
    2
  4883. u put time codes in?!?!?!?!? as if ur more than a pretty face! lol
    2
  4884. Im mainly foucused on the pug
    2
  4885. From what I’ve learned from Forgotten Weapons and C&Rsenal, almost everything said about the M1917 was wrong in this video. Still love your channel, Chris, but come on, put in a little more LEG work next time! (See what I did there?)
    2
  4886. 10:07 you said the C word
    2
  4887. I like your dog

  4888. Thanks!

  4889. Thanks!

  4890. As a CT resident and someone who lived in Lebanon I approve of this video
    2
  4891. Cappy if you dont get those excess pieces of your ribbon rack cut down you will be NJP'd
    2
  4892. Ha! Delusional take on events. More like Russians forces fell back to easily defendable positions along the river after having made a feint attack to distract West Ukrainian forces from the South; A strategy that payed off in spades.
    2
  4893. Alright but where is the counter offensive? The longer the weapons delivered to Ukraine are not used the more likely that they would be destroyed by Russia missiles. Hindustan news already reported a train with ammo and howitzer blown up with 500 Ukrainian soldiers gone. Ukraine need large scale offensive to quickly take back the land. Western support will not last forever like a blank cheque.
    2
  4894. Great reporting. NATO needs to supply Ukraine with every artillery round, rocket and missile they need to make the counterattack work. If they don't win this now, the Western allies will tire of supplying increasing levels of munitions. NATO has a large of stock of existing munitions they can send now and replace going forward. Also, Ukraine needs to reach into Russian territory to hit the ships and aircraft launching into their country. Send the ATACAMs.
    2
  4895. T&P thank you for this....YT algor, thanks also...somehow YT knew I was an 0341..your vid makes me all misty eyed!...sniff...just for that ...liked, shared, subbed and DING!...er ...BOOM! Looking fwd to the USMC vs Army vid!
    2
  4896. I AM actually an 11B in the National Guard that was a PRIOR Marine 0311 station at Camp Lejune with 3rd BN 8th REG, and I can tell you the Platoon setup is VERY different!!!! Marine mortarmen 0341 are assigned to Weapons Company in a Battalion. I notice 11C are assigned to HQ Company... also Marine has different infantry MOS 0311 Rifleman, 0331 Machines Gunner, 0341 Mortarmem 0351 assaultmen Disbanded, and 0352 Anti-tank missiles. I find that the 11B perform all the weapons system above in the paltoon!!! If you guy have any questions I can answer because I been in a Marine rifle Platoon and also Army rifle Platoon!!!!
    2
  4897. Cappy - why is your upper lip so sweaty?
    2
  4898. love to see Marine VS Army Company breakdown video

  4899. God your Midatlantic is so fuckin terrible. Great vid.

  4900. people donating money to Ukraine and being upset they’re buying weapons with it is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while, as if fire trucks and MRE’s are going to do anything to help them win a fight if they don’t have enough weapons! Ukraine is absolutely escalating the war by attacking deep into Russia! Just because russia deserves it doesn’t mean they are not escalating the conflict. Just keep calling a spade a spade brother and to hell if people are offended by the truth! You’ll never be able to make people understand nuance! You’re doing great!
    2
  4901. You and Preston Stewart should do a video together.
    2
  4902. I thougt goat guns are silly. Think I have to re-consider 🤔
    2
  4903. What about the Lynx? How does it compare to the Puma? :)
    2
  4904. what about the Isreal Namer IFV?
    2
  4905. The CV90 is BETTER thank you for the video and thumbs up.
    2
  4906. On the internet, everyone is a critic. So many people who understand DoD procurement and have read all the specs. There is an upside to this weapons system - thank you Cappy- and everything is a compromise. There is no perfect weapons system!!! I would put a Puma in my garage, ok?
    2
  4907. This video is 6months late. Puma has reached full combat readiness in March.
    2
  4908. Is it mechanized infantry week yet?!
    2
  4909. I will not stand by and watch you besmirch Millville cereals! They are perfectly adequate products for a much lower price! The Clancy branded nacho tortilla chips however, are hot garbage.
    2
  4910. ah, now i remember why i just HAD to buy a goat gun, i have the six mcx rattler, cool man toy! the second thing in my life i buy after watching an add for it.
    2
  4911. I don't know. It really is an antiquated design, and it absolutely will be in 2029. Don't get me wrong: It is well engineered and protected, but I am not sure if that justifies the high cost, huge dimensions and especially the weight. By comparison the T-15 (yes I know, not perfect and also expensive, but still an important competitor) is as well protected (maybe even more?) but far better armed, with a lot more versatility at lower weight. I am not a Russian fanboy - I'm German myself - but I would have expected our industry to be able to come up with something more revolutionary and appropriate than "lets make it bigger and heavier, pack it with more electronics and put some auto cannon on it." Their weight and dimensions put a huge additional strain on logistics, at a time when 80-90 percent of personnel in Afghanistan already wasn't leaving base and was only used in support roles. It's a peacetime concept that won't last a week in a hot conflict with Russia or China.
    2
  4912. Excellent vid

  4913.  @Taskandpurpose  right on just kinda busting your balls. I love this channel the videos are awesome.

  4914. I Hope We Get Everything Lined Up and Fixed Right?! This Story Kinda Freaked Me Out? _ Seeing Things Like The 'Red Flags' Watching This , While Tossing Popcorn Into Each Other's Mouths, While Laughing at Us?! _ Because We Currently Cant Seem to Build What We Need The First Time?! 'Bout Ready To Buy a Modular Musket, Just In Case Our APC's Need a Update Mid Defense Charge? 😶 _ We Got This🇺🇸👍

  4916. What games is he showing there?

  4917. Army just rebooted the OMFV (M2 Bradley replacement). The U.S. Army has chosen five teams to compete to design the replacement for its Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Point Blank Enterprises, Oshkosh Defense, BAE Systems, General Dynamics Land Systems and American Rheinmetall Vehicles will all conjure up rough digital concept designs for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle. Oshkosh has partnered with South Korean defense company Hanwha which will likely pit their AS-21 Redback. The Rheinmetall team also includes Raytheon Technologies, Textron and L3Harris Technologies which will likely pit their Lynx KF-41 which was previously a competitor for the OMFV and is also currently competing against the AS-21 Redback for Australia Project Land 400 Phase 3. GDLS will likely pick their Griffin II based off the UK Ajax chassis while BAE systems will choose their CV-90 MK IV. The AS-21 Redback, Lynx KF-41, and CV-90 MK IV can carry 3 crew + 8-9 dismounts while the Griffin II can accommodate only 2 crew + 6 dismounts. Miami-based Point Blank is the only nontraditional company or small business to win a contract. https://www.defensenews.com/land/2021/07/23/us-army-chooses-competitors-to-design-infantry-fighting-vehicle-replacement/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=Socialflow+DFN

  4918. German Pentagon Wars anyone?
    2
  4919. The amount of military tech/history videos now using ARMA/Squad/gaming footage is concerning. Feels like those clickbait "NEW MILITARY TECHNOLOGY SMASHES CHINESE ARMY MARINES!!!" videos where they use 3D-rendered concept art from sci-fi shorts in the thumbnail and a robot voice to read a Google results description of Defense News article. I feel like it cheapens your videos, especially considering how the information you give us is always so rich. Personally, I would rather watch a video of just you addressing the camera than watching a video with videogame clips worked in between authentic footage. Graphs and text would also be okay instead of video game footage. If you really need to fill that visual content gap, is there any way you could reach out to the companies that make the defense products and ask for their marketing footage?
    2
  4920. This fucjing ad bro 😂😂
    2
  4921. @Task & Purpose Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uznoMfo_lLg Maybe something for a reaction video?
    2
  4922. Your knowledge of the AK series is certainly mediocre. Stg is not related to AK in any way. And the AK-47 never existed at all. Learn at least the chronology of the names of the main AK of the Soviet Army. 1947-1960: AK, AKS; 1957-1980: AKM, AKMS, AKMSU, AKMN; 1974-2012: AK-74, AKS-74, AKS-74U, AK-74N, (since 1986, automatic weapons began to be disguised in plastic), since 1991: AK-74M, AK hundredth series for export and special services of Russia (AK-101, AK-102, AK-103, AK-104, AK-105, AK-107 and AK-108). In 2012, they adopted the AK-74MK with Picatinny bars, since 2015, the AK-12 began to be bought into the Russian army

  4923. purposely made a jacked up ribbon stack and uniform to drive people crazy lol.
    2
  4924. Larry vickers has a video about a Bulgarian 7.62 nato pkm called the M1M iirc
    2
  4925. The pkm is a great machine gun made buy Kalashnikov and most Kalashnikov or all interchangeable as far as firing mechanisms go
    2
  4926. The PKM is king!
    2
  4927. Nice video comrade Cappy.
    2
  4928. Like the ak and m16 its built for different uses so each is better on its own front? Is that the word idk
    2
  4929. You forgot to mention the M240L and Mk48. These 7.62mm x 51 NATO weapons are much lighter than the M240B. Mk48 Mod 1 was issued to US Army regular infantry in Afghanistan and performed well by all accounts.
    2
  4930. Good Video! Keep it up! This is the kind of stuff that makes me wait for your content.
    2
  4931. This is not the first time that the US copied a weapon of a near-peer adversary. The so-called grease gun is a copy of the MP40, a German submachine gun.
    2
  4932. When you like before you even watch the video
    2
  4933. Honestly after literally thousands of ads, this was the first that made me genuinely CONSIDER playing Raid: Shadow Legends.
    2
  4934. chris Please talk to us about feet per secant not Meters 900 Meters what the Hell is that--Huh????????????
    2
  4935. It'll never happen but it was a fun video.
    2
  4936. 6.8? Should’ve been 6.9! We were this close to greatness!!!
    2
  4937. Congratulations buddy. Everybody hates you now. You ruined the word garand
    2
  4938. 6:07 where is the ww1 footage from?
    2
  4939. I just subbed due to your very informative and plain speaking ability. Keep it up!
    2
  4940. The questions you bring up sound contrived, like they were supplied by someone else. Most knowledgeable people wouldn't ask them. This is the military industrial complex in ramped up form. It isnt needs driven. All of the "problems" are fake. Our ammo isnt too weak or heavy or old fashioned. Its about spending gobs of money and influence and they want to cut-off the civilian market and this is a step in that direction - to attack your ammo availability by changing essential components and controlling their supply.
    2
  4941. Where I get one them shirts bro?
    2
  4942. great videos dude and nice to put some military meme on it. its fun to watch
    2
  4943. Excellent logical progression-presentation of information. Good job.
    2
  4944. Plastic has no place in ammo. Brass forever. If it was up to me the army would have re-adapt the .45-70. And wusses can just quit whining.
    2
  4945. this is one of the most in depth videos about this, got my like
    2
  4946. Great content!
    2
  4947. Nice video
    2
  4948. Can we get an M27 and M416/M417 video? 😀
    2
  4949. Love this channel I’ll be watching every day 💪🏼💗
    2
  4950. Great video as per usual. Having served in NATO and used both 7.62 & 5.56, I have to say I didn't like the idea of an enemy combatant getting up even when hit in the torso hence we were taught to put 3 rounds in to a target in the I formation, hopefully the 6.8 will carry enough connectic energy to put the target down with one round for good.
    2
  4951. Excellent video- Mr. Cappy, your deadpan humor cracks me up.
    2
  4952. Fucking give me more videos these are god damn great!!!!
    2
  4953. Love your videos. Very informative. Was looking for a channel like this.
    2
  4954. Nice shirt
    2
  4955. Did you just say “environmentally friendly”? I’m having a hard time with that, Brother! I only care if I can send one and it does the job it’s built for... Environmentally friendly can kiss my a$$...
    2
  4956. Bro ur videos r very good but there are few currections atleast in this video like not Indian Aircraft attacked any base in Pakistan, they did enter Pakistan but ran away with there tails in between their legs might be because as u said they r not mordernized. Secondly I have a request please share any information u have regarding Pakistan Military Upgrades.
    2
  4957. The elephant and dragon should dance for peace and harmony along the holy mountain of Himalaya any conflict will only bring tragedy and human suffering
    2
  4958. Eagerly waited for video on Indian military
    2
  4959. Very informative video. Thank you!
    2
  4960. Could you make a video on Pakistan? the sworn enemy of india. How much they come up with their very low GDP and budgets
    2
  4961. Ban guns, throw hands looooool
    2
  4962. “Before” it’s too late to detour the CCP? No. No they can not. That particular ship has sailed. But they can certainly be part of a deterrent to the CCP.
    2
  4963. 01:35 … Chicken tikka masala … warrior fuel? We had to make our own … for reasons known only to that shower of useless knobs in the MoD, they only included the most popular dish in the UK to the MRE menus in 2015 … Sorry totally irrelevant footnote to another double good video Chris
    2
  4964. Is it just me or is the guy at 0:16 seconds carrying a rifle with no sights on it.
    2
  4965. Great video, but one thing baffles me? Why doesn't US McDonald's have sweet curry sauce??
    2
  4966. Dig the tikka masala conflict reference....such bullocks and bulls$%t that a place where black pepper is considered an exotic spice can try to lay claim to one of the world's go to great dishes!!!!!!.....I digress....you're quite the renaissance bro...expand your horizons and make this video happen...."Tanks and Tikka Masala: You decide" ???
    2
  4967. Chicken Tikka Masala is one of Britains most beloved dishes. And it was crreated by British Indian, of which there are millions.
    2
  4968. Different tone with the video. Appropriate.
    2
  4969. It’s not that everyone was training up and being “basically infantry” with a little “rethinking about your role in theater” and all the “policing” activities. They all, including infantry, were falling in on the traditional MP mission. Due in part to the Army in 2003 saying “oh crap, maybe we shouldn’t have been downsizing the MPs toward disbandment for the last few years! Uhh, drop the ASVAB and morality standards, stop-loss the ones we have, and retread anyone that can pull a trigger to run the MP missions.. go!” It partially worked while they rewrote everyones doctrine. Glad I dipped out 08.
    2
  4970. Really grown to love this channel! Awesome video! Done civilian work on piccatiny arsenal in Jersey. Crazy place!
    2
  4971. Hazaa
    2
  4972. "Leeward" is pronounced "LOO'erd"
    2
  4973. @Task & Purpose Hey Cappy Thales is pronounced "Tah - less". The French get weird with what they care about and - from experience - apparently pronouncing this correctly is one of them.
    2
  4974. How many tanks are being destroyed by 3rd gen missiles.. and how many are (proportionately) being destroyed by old fashioned artillery/rocket?
    2
  4975. Slim chance of you reading this, but here is a thing that has been overlooked in my opinion when it comes to handguns: Why is slide-less (or rather, internal slides) not a priority? That way you can rest your index finger along the barrel, even with indents to guide it parallel, you pull the trigger with your middle finger (which is, all things considered, stronger in pull than the index finger). We have millions of years of evolution in "pointing index finger at something" that such a hand-eye-coordination is so ingrained, that you can point at things you're not even directly looking at. On a biological and evolutionary level, the index finger is the "go there" finger. Our brain is wired as such. Now you have one phalange less to grip the pistol, true, yet that brings the recoil more in line with the rest of your arm. Recoil basically is just leverage. The grip introduces recoil, as it gives the force that thrusts backwards the lever since we hold the grip. The shorter the lever, the less recoil. It's a nobrainer on rifles, since there are no moving parts that can slice your index finger or gloves open. You direct the rifle with your index finger of your grip hand. This is something how lefties can get much more out of their bullpup. The right goes to the trigger, the left holds the rifle, but with an index finger parallel to the barrel, guiding the weapon with it. Why ingrained evolution like index finger pointing and recoil reduction based on lever physics are not more of a thing when designing new firearms is beyond me. Maybe you have experience, have something to share. Especially as to why the military is reluctant with something like this. If you show that to a "civilian" who have good hand-to-eye coordination, they immediately benefit from it in their accuracy from the limited tests I observed. Granted, we're not talking expert level of shooting here, however I'd say it's just a matter of training. Just like soldiers who are trained on bullpups will have less trouble with it than soldiers who were trained on regular rifles and then try to switch to bullpups. What say you?
    2
  4976. I thought hollow point was banned by the geneva convention?
    2
  4977. Yo cappy, didnt you release a video about the optics last week? Cause if you did i cant see it
    2
  4978. A study of German casualties after WW1 discovered that there were very few injuries treated for pistol wounds. That is why the Army developed the Carbine. Something like maybe a couple more MP7 as auxiliary weapons for heavy weapons or command personel. Pistols appear to be bad use of weight the soldier has to carry.
    2
  4979.  @Taskandpurpose  First to clear out that the comment was towards what the Army told and not towards you Then, the reasons seem to be "light", to say the least. How come a NGSW is necessary for ....near pear" because of it's uber lethality, but the same reason is given for a pistol Also, better training and lower cost is not a reason for giving more pistols. The reason should be if more pistols are needed! Operationally
    2
  4980. “Combat IPad” is my favorite new term
    2
  4981. Looks like big army finally bought Cappy out with promises of endless mre's and rip'its
    2
  4982. Pistols are stupid. Teaching the average Joe to use them effectively is a waste of everyone's time and money. The Army also bought sub-machine guns again, which are also stupid. The M4 is lightweight and infinitely more effective, give replacement M4's free float M-Lok hand guards and you're done.
    2
  4983. I just need one round of .45. I listened to my grandpa and its basically a nuke..
    2
  4984. Who is training this military personal? Cappy is the only dude I've seen with a decent grip
    2
  4985. Someone didn't get a complimentary M17 when they left the facility they toured, huh?......LOL! Just kidding! Your points are sound. The only downside would be clearing a room full of body-armored tangos using a 9mm pistol. It might not be as easy as a couple of grenades and clearing after the detonations, or using 5.7x28mm FNs from the giddy-up, but what do I know? Keep up the good work, Cappy. Rock on.
    2
  4986. What happened to your last video?
    2
  4987. “Switching to your sidearm is faster then reloading”
    2
  4988. 5:30 Combat Ipad hahahaha
    2
  4989. More pistols is a positive direction for the US Army. Big Army limiting handguns and sub guns was problematic and hurt our effectiveness for so many years.
    2
  4990. There are numerous pictures of soldiers using pistols in combat. Light weight, Hi- Cap., and cost effective, pistols should be issued as they increase the options for QCB for the infantry and other soldiers.
    2
  4991. I'm laughing that you don't seem to have a clue about the main reasons the Army has always issued pistols to officers and often team leaders! The reason they are issued to officers is to put them to their troops heads if they refuse to fight! Shoot one coward, fighting seems like better option to any other hesitant troops!
    2
  4992. I’m a fan of originals and a firm believer in the mindset of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. And while I personally love the M9 this new M17 looks amazing and just may become my new favorite.
    2
  4993. Remember: Switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading.
    2
  4994. Hand gun is just so you can get to your rifle, not the other way around
    2
  4995. I love it how he uses the picture of Vladimir Putin riding the bear when he talk about near pears lol
    2
  4996. You can´t invade Kharkiv with only 50.000 man. It´s 2nd biggest city in Ukraine and normaly their live 1,2 mil. people in their. According to military experts, at least 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers were needed to take Kharkiv under full controll.
    2
  4997. Superb report. It is Information rich, indeed!!! Thanks.
    2
  4998. Have the Army ever considered evening vision? I think it’d be a great idea to get around this concern
    2
  4999. just put 2 giant flashlights and blind the enemy
    2
  5000. The holy grail would be the thermal/night vision with the highlighted targets… but instead of seeing a camera feed from your gun a target reticle would be super imposed over your view so you can see exactly where the rifle is aiming without disrupting your viewpoint.
    2
  5001. I freaking knew there had to be some Karmakut fans in here lmao.
    2
  5002. Do you also get this thing that it shows where guards look at you from? Like this part of circle with arrows showing?
    2
  5003. PIA also let’s you bypass the paywall for boingo wireless and other networks if you know anything about IT 😏🤓
    2
  5004. OK so everyone else has night vision now. Easy fix. Lets just liberate the entire night thus rendering perpetual daylight which in turn negate's the enemies advances. If we cant own the night anymore than no one can.
    2
  5005. my first experience with nvg was with the game delta force black hawk down
    2
  5006. Task&Purpose is slowly dying inside
    2
  5007. I’ve used these and it’s actually really intuitive and amazing
    2
  5008. PVS-5’s were the first NODs I used.
    2
  5009. The entire video about a new Army system without the using the term "Modular"? Blasphemy! Where is that Spec 4 in the Pentagon?!

  5010. Augmented vision 24/7? So basically we are now almost at Predator vision, just a few tweaks and a face mask! :D
    2
  5011. All that's left is to work on the robot tech and there will be humanless battlefronts.

  5012. Cappy may have been an average infantry grunt, but he certainly found his calling with presenting.
    2
  5013. WOAH does cappy actually play squad?

  5014. Thumbnail text reminds me of some minecraft song that was super popular back around know 2012 or something

  5015. Daewoo = “Day Woo”

  5016. Owned the K2 civilian versions here shot well decent guns
    2
  5017. please make a video about the Gucci AK (SIG 550 series)
    2
  5018. I liked the video bit you didn't really discuss and describe the operating system .
    2
  5019. I didn't know there were any lies about it...
    2
  5020. My favorite videos are the ones about firearms
    2
  5021. Thanks for making my day Cappy.
    2
  5022. Bro really said Gaah-Raaahnd to troll us 💀💀
    2
  5023. @01:40 North Korea has been copying ROK military rifles because they wanted to use it to infiltrate ROK military bases, as they have done so in 1996 and so on. They killed a lot of South Korean soldiers and civillians
    2
  5024. Definitely not the Type 004 since the number "4" is considered to be superstitiously bad. The Chinese do take their superstitions quite seriously. The number 4 sounds like the word "die". XD
    2
  5025. Minor point. The Ford Class Carriers run off steam.
    2
  5026. Iran can take 60% to weapons grade bomb in about 2 weeks. So they basically have a nuke now.
    2
  5027. Listen , you can pat yourself on the back for being balanced and “nuanced” but how in the world can you make this segment and not even mention 444 days of holding our embassy hostage in total contravention to their obligations under international law? I normally like your stuff, but this is a fail.
    2
  5028. AGAIN! CHRIS, it's not Pahvil . It's Pavlahvi
    2
  5029. everything you explained was perfect except for one thing, iranian people are againds the islamic goverment and are fighting against it and they totally know how cruel and fenatic this regiem is.
    2
  5030. This is a brilliant video! Channel is really kicking goals mate, keep it up!
    2
  5031. Great presentation and your conclusion is spot on. A war with Iran would inevitably lead to another blowback. Just look at their demographics: make an enemy of Iran = problems for the next 50 years. The Mollah regime has got to go but this has to be done from the inside, by the Iranians. Looking at the news year after year this is a real possibility. Let them be angry at their leaders. Dont give those leaders a reason to rally the average Iranian against a foreign ennemy. It's already their narrative and isnt working as well as they'd want. 80+ million people, dont worry, there are enough educated Iranians to know that their biggest problem isnt the West.
    2
  5032. Framing it as the British had their shit stolen is pretty messed up. The British empire pillaged massive amounts of resources and wealth from all over the world. They wrecked the Indian textile industry and forced India to export low value crops and import finished goods. Iran saw the same was being done to them and wanted out. Imagine if China came to the US and monopolized one of our resources then when we realized we were getting a terrible deal forced us to pay them back or overthrow our government. All I'm saying is the British were the biggest thieves of the last few centuries they hardly deserve sympathy.
    2
  5033. err... You missed the MOST important part of the history.... The extremist Iranian Islamic regime took over the government and changed the face of Iran forever into a theocratic primitive back ward nation.... just like ISIS
    2
  5034. Hey Task & Purpose ever thought of trying to SOUND OUT THE WORD SLOWLY FIRST? Guess they didnt teach you how to read in the Army.
    2
  5035. Never comment. Just wanted to let you know out of all the subscriptions I have you do a great job I'm making to the point no BS videos love it and will continue to watch
    2
  5036. seriously. the Ads are the best part ETA, and your dad's funny.
    2
  5037. Yo chris, your dad totally steals your thunder in that ad!
    2
  5038. Hey Cappy...that tree line to tree line distance better not be much more the 500 meters. Because the weapon is a 5.56mm based carbine. So good luck if it's beyond 500 meters.
    2
  5039. Interesting fact about GLONAS. It sucks. Which is why until the United States and France cut their access off, the russian army almost exclusively used GPS units commercially available, or used GPS data in their systems.
    2
  5040. The Army should just buy old Soviet AK's and man the fuck up /s
    2
  5041. Nice and informative video. What is difference between Grendal 6.5 and Creedmore 6.5? What matters is grain size of bullet and energy transfer in joules.
    2
  5042. Yep, Chris, your arms are hairy ... that is SO hot! 🧔🏻
    2
  5043. Hah. They still do all that childish shouting and calling people names? It's pointless, and has has nothing to do with anything.
    2
  5044. Shit iam an individual mind. I dont like to be a sheep
    2
  5045. I like this style of video, please do more
    2
  5046. My drill sergeants were drunk half the time. You didn't not want to mess with them.

  5047. Crappy, great job with NEWSMAX. 👍🏻👍🏻

  5048. Congrats on a million subscribers
    2
  5049. Europes second biggest gas-field is located near Kramatorsk. Might be the reason for Putin's war in the first place. Just a thought......
    2
  5050. Hey bro , just wanna give my stance on this issue, the main reason why Russia hasn't gained the unquestionable controll of the sky is that Russia doesn't wish to harm civilians as much as possible, Ukrainian ground air missile vehicles are predominantly located in reside trial areas so that that can not be directly targeted using missiles or howitzers so Russians are having to pay a tremendous price to get to those missile sites and neutralize them by the time Russian go there the missile vehicles already dislocate and an ambush will be there in the place of the missile vehicles or set of missile system (movie) system so ukrainians know that if Russia largely harm the civilians while fighting soldiers it will be a crime of war so they are trying to make Russian play this game according to their plans . So this is what I think but if it was a full fledged war not a conflict and if Russians used all their capabilities Ukraine would be no more by now . It is like two boxers one is very strong but his one hand and leg is bound another is stocky but can use all his limbs and can also use a 🗡️
    2
  5051. Outstanding research and reporting. Have Like
    2
  5052. I disagree Cappy, the ruskies are getting rerouted and repelled, they can’t hold the ground they take, they take an airfield and then beaten back over and over again
    2
  5053. Great analysis! Thank you very much! Your analysis is the best that I have seen since the war began! It actually has facts in it and has good reasoning behind it! Having seen this I am stunned when I think back to what the news media are presenting as analysis. Great job! Please keep it up! I think the most interesting point that you may care is that the Russian advance is probably proceeding on a reasonable schedule and may not actually be seriously behind.
    2
  5054. Even though I completely support Russia, I respect your opinions and thank you for not parroting western news sources. Cappy is now my preferred source for news.
    2
  5055. Love the tim dillon fake business shirt hahha
    2
  5056. So, if you started an invasion in Montauk and only made it to Queens I would say that that would be a failed invasion. You didn't even make it into the city and figure in time for parking.
    2
  5057. If you sent tactical pug the conflict in Ukraine would have been over yesterday.
    2
  5058. I've heard this in a few of your vids now. Unveiled is pronounced un valed, not un veeled
    2
  5059. Hey. Love your videos but you need to check your audio levels. Lately, I always have to turn my amp up to even hear you talk. I have tried watching on several different devices besides my tv, which I normally watch on, and every time lately your audio is way down. Again. I really like your videos. But your audio is off on the more recent once.
    2
  5060. If you think America in recession is funny why not point out that the Chinese economy is in collapse has a 65 trillion debt bubble and is currently having bank runs lol. China is pretty much done economically speaking for at least half a century.
    2
  5061. Red alert?

  5062. Who's to say the leak isn't disinformation?

  5064. No jokes about the Apache being the 3rd gender? Feels bad man xD
    2
  5065. Here in Finland. We were supposed to get some sort of armed helicopters 10+ years ago. But apparently having "Attack helicopters" means that Finland is preparing an all out attack against Russia.. Which makes perfect sense.. to politicians. So we only got totally unarmed NH90s with no escorts, and even the door-guns on those we only officially added only like 2018.
    2
  5066. DD-214, eh? Nice sweat shirt! 👍🏿
    2
  5067. Hey task. I like your channel and vids. But I’m gonna dislike the vid so I can be the 11th number which I like !
    2
  5068. I like this channel. It don't belittle other weapon and keep their presentation concise.
    2
  5069. @Task & Purpose The AH-66 was shelved, not canceled. The bird has completed all test's necessary to field it, they (Armed Services) just don't need it right now. The Sikorski plant can start churning them out, if need be. The bird is ready to go. Sikorski used the same tech when they came up with the StalthHawk used in the ObL raid?
    2
  5070. I'd buy that for a dollar
    2
  5071. 227mph = 197.26kts. Grunts.
    2
  5072. The army got instant type b coffe while the air force got starbuck*
    2
  5073. Now make a video about the AH-1Z. It is also an excellent attack helicopter.
    2
  5074. Ok Chris I downloaded this zombie game , This is the 1st time I have had a game on my phone. Is it ok to blame you for slacking off even more then I do now ? 😂
    2
  5075. Anything to say about Polands backfilling of war machinery?
    2
  5076. Any thoughts on possibility of Russia reverse engineering Javelin missile(some were captured by their army)?
    2
  5077. Your videos are great cappy. But please don't use Ai art in your thumbnails as it pooks pretty dumb.
    2
  5078. Thanks!
    2
  5079. And now Wagner are sending their forces to get rid of Shoigu and the RF military establishment, there is not enough popcorn in the world
    2
  5080. Keep doing this analysis.
    2
  5081. Half way through the video. I must say it is well made.
    2
  5082. Wasn't the "Marshall Effect" completely fabricated by the guy who wrote about it?
    2
  5083. Stop making fun of the French Army! They never retreated.........No Frenchman would ever think of leaving their buddy's behind. They learned that from the Greeks.
    2
  5084. One thing missing is the evolution of firepower. The principle first evolved with the use of masses of archers forming solid masses to deliver rapid and accurate fire upon the enemy. An example is the English longbow men and there successes during the 100 years war. The tactic of rapid and accurate firepower by lines of infantry lasted until the invention of machine guns during the first world war.
    2
  5085. I wanna point out that the difference between fighting for your religion and your country's values is not as big as it seems at first. Religion used to be one of, if not the most important of values. The reason to fight really hasn't shifted, only the surface level values
    2
  5086. Battle Buddy is better than Combat Comrade....

  5087. Inbreed Nobles 🤣🤣🤣

  5088. I finally just had to google “blue falcon”. Stand for buddy fucker Incase any other non vets were curious bout that😂Means you inadvertently put your buddies at risk.
    2
  5089. This is like modern day Mail Call!
    2
  5090. May be people in group work better together because one thinks if he is not giving his fullest, his buddy may die. Especially in combat situation.

  5096. HA! Blue Falcon.. haven't heard that casually said in a long time :)
    2
  5097. "The Future of The Infantry"..? What? Are you making a video of your daughter, niece, or little sister or something? Good video.
    2
  5098. Butchered the soldiers creed lol but I had a guy in basic who didn’t learn it until like 3/4th the way through. Drill sergeant made him write it over and over lol like 100 times
    2
  5099. Europe is not world, show other Armies around the world like Africa, Asian, Native America etc...

  5100. It's not battle buddy... it's warrior companion.

  5104. Great video! Only criticism is I wish you put more of an emphasis on how NVGs have shaped modern Infantry, Keep up the great work.
    2
  5105. Well done!
    2
  5106. The modern infantry has to call a CO sitting in Vegas on a cell phone, to get permission to take a shit.
    2
  5107. Good vid
    2
  5108. This video is very good at explaining the generations of warfare, I have yet to find a video that's short and as informative as this video.
    2
  5109. what's with the blur ? is it suppose to be cencorned or is it a funny joke that I don't understand?
    2
  5110. "pizza unveiled in Italy". Fucking awesome.

  5111. Flemming here, nice video.

  5112.  @Taskandpurpose  if its like my 05 4runner then the family of raccoons living in the back doesn't help. Im hoping they claim squatters rights so I don't have to pay insurance anymore.
    2
  5113.  @Taskandpurpose  lol you got a good channel of course your a fellow crunchy. Check out Paul Harrell hes got a good one as well it's all about guns. Anyone can learn a lot from that man.
    2
  5114. Best yet. Interesting and entertaining. Good job!
    2
  5115. At 15:00 why is the flag like that? I'm in the army but I have never seen any of our flags on our uniforms like that. Can someone explain please
    2
  5116. The world's oldest profession is prostitution btw if anyone was wondering. Correct answer one google away.
    2
  5117. Good explanation! Regards from Brazil.
    2
  5118. Can you do a video about how stealth and recon changed the battlefield
    2
  5119. Probably one of the worst videos, with more bias and more historical mistakes, about infantry, I've ever seen. Keep going, you might learn something one day.
    2
  5120. I like this channel.
    2
  5121. good channel man
    2
  5122. Warrior creed doesn't sound half as corny as the ranger creed, hated that shit
    2
  5123. Will Task & Purpose have a History and Future of ........ Of other branches of the military?
    2
  5124. great video up till your mention of the deserter Bergdahl. he deserted his post and joined the enemy.
    2
  5125. Love all the total war footage lol Also I think that the medieval misconception of no tactics is from the battle of Nancy because how poor the french tactics were against the British in the 100 years war.
    2
  5126. Eh, S4 is what changes maps. Logistics people win wars. Infantry win battles.
    2
  5127. I feel like you made this video before the events of the past week. Those few HIMARS systems have been absolutely rocking the Russians in rear and totally stalled their offensive. Sure, we should send more, and long range ATACMS, but this video seems more pessimistic than the information on the ground seems to suggest.
    2
  5128. Ur late! This is a week old and they have 8 now with 4 more on the way, that'll make 12 altogether. The Himars are very effective and have hindered Russia's ability to just keep pounding their cities and positions. You can see how many fires there were compared to how many there are now for example. Trust, they're having an impact for sure. So much so that Polland ordered 500 Himars.
    2
  5129. Pretty sure they're getting 12 now all together!
    2
  5130. HIMARS is very uncomfortable to load. Big pack requires additional vehicles to follow you. Enemy definitely will track you with drone and destroy you. With air dominance, HIMARS won't live long at battlefield, and it's already happening. Ukraine lost 2 HIMARS already. It a 50%. Please someone tell me, how long will take to deliver at least 200 HIMARS and 5000 ammo packages to Ukraine?
    2
  5131. Nice job on Newsmax a minute ago. Didn’t even recognize you in a coat/tie! I assume you had some Spare Parts Army socks on though, right?! 😜
    2
  5132. You do realise that Britain didn't hand back Hong Kong until the late 1990's,,,, and just as a side note we kept on forcing China to buy our opium all the way into the 1930's!
    2
  5133. please do a video on australian bushmaster
    2
  5134. I'm late to the party but honestly, having served myself, the culture does have places it really needs to train to actually feel inclusive instead of having some Senior Master Sergeant "claiming" it is. But asking the group with the culture problem to do a campaign to change the culture problem is actually spot on military idiocy. LOL Nobody cares about people posting in comments but honestly, one of the biggest ways they could fix this issue is stop thinking like a cold war army, re-evaluating how the objectives are accomplished but of course the Pentagon is not gonna want to give up those fat stipends from the government to fund them. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
    2
  5135. Time to reactivate MAVNI!
    2
  5136. I guess when you're enlisted, it's hard to wear a Steve from Blue's Clues flannel and record terrifying videos from your thinking chair? Haha it's a smart look, Chris. Another great production.
    2
  5137. I’m not the only one who noticed he put an article about reducing extremism in the Canada military and then never talks about it after that point. It bothered me the way he sidestepped that necessary conversation, especially when we had a guy like Ethan Melzer in Germany attempt to ambush his own unit. But the military is just targeting people for “minor speech infractions.” This is why we have Killing in the Name’s “some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.”
    2
  5138. Dude I love your informative videos and keep it up! But please don't share anything about 'that guy'. I'm not even going to mention his name. He doesnt deserve any attention whether it's negative or not. Even for the 3 seconds you talked about him. It's just contributing to the fact that this guy is popping up everywhere and has a negative influence on young kids.
    2
  5139. Cappys a grunt I’m a grunt wanna share a sleeping bag in negative 10 degree weather?
    2
  5140. Damn, dude. Not only do they have shoulder-fired anti-missile missiles, North Macedonia applied in 2020, and two years later they were allowed to join in 2020. Did I have a stroke or are you fucking up?
    2
  5141. Shoulder-mounted anti-missile missiles huh?
    2
  5142. Umm, Chris, that is 378 million dollars, not thousands (5:11).

  5143. BAE Systems is (British Aerospace Enterprises)

  5147. I like how you intermittently used both metric and imperial units just to annoy and confuse everyone lol
    2
  5148. it's a shame when an american make a video about gun, but with no gun/range, just blablabla see my google images....
    2
  5149. Your commercials are getting better each time 😂😂😂😂😂😂
    2
  5150. First because you stopped scrolling.
    2
  5151. The question is... how much of these chinese infos are actually verifiable? They have the same problems as russia has with their "super duper next gen everything better than USA"-tech. And its hard to believe a country that paints their fkin gras and mountains green instead of actually doing something to increase the health of their vegetations and environments...
    2
  5152. Razor wire. 2024 first hot word

  5153. Thanks!

  5154. Great Channel!!!

  5155. Where do I get a FUBAR shirt!!
    2
  5156. Some feedback from RU troops appears to be that the VSS is not so hot. See post from Rob Lee on twitter referencing RAZVEDOS, May 20 2022. "Some gear reviews from RAZVEDOS. He says that VSS and AS Val rifles haven't proven themselves during the war. Both require a lot of cleaning and maintenance. He also said they lack enough penetration, but Russia lacks enough suppressors for AKs." Penetration with suppression is one reason US is moving to 6.8. 5.56 cannot cycle a bolt and be subsonic, 6.8 can.

  5157. Cappy does your car not have a stereo? 😂😂
    2
  5158. 😂I actually watched the ad, congrats on the move man.
    2
  5159. Hey Cappy, Seems like NGSW program has a winner , can we expect a video from you about it ?!
    2
  5160. why the heck are you using raycons in the car? car speakers?
    2
  5161. 8:00 more military makeup tutorials right NOW 😤😤😤😤
    2
  5162. Great video but I wish people would stop with the hyperbole about a couple of hundred nuclear warheads being able to destroy the world several times over. It quite simply isn’t true. There is a wealth of impartial scientific material that describes and explains the impacts of a limited or full scale nuclear war.
    2
  5163. What if 200 missiles were launched at the same time?
    2
  5164. First let me say how much I love your channel and I look forward to your updates. I left the Corp in 90 and its been 26 yrs since I've been this excited. This new Army makes me wish I could enlist in the Army right now. The great thing about this program is Sig has already said they will be coming out with a civilian model if the Spear 6.8mm. Although it hasn't been battle tested its been well tested with hunters and they love it more then any before it. Please keep up the great work so old bulldogs like me can current.
    2
  5165. >Stop invading Crimea Nah, Chris, we're good, and you can't invade what's yours anyway.
    2
  5166. We aren’t prepared for near peer warfare due to mentality and heavy reliance on technology. The battlefield determines how a near peer engagement will happen. The expectation needs to be set that many of our troops will be killed, especially if we are doing dislodgment operations where we respond to enemy aggressions where they seize territory. A near peer will have the technology to offset our own. They will have some level of air power that would cause heavy casualties or slow down advancement. It is the big picture that is the problem with fighting a near peer, not individual weapons. We have spent the last two decades fighting low intensity conflicts in two countries, and look what it did to the psychology of our armed forces. So, imagine where we have to adjust seeing 10,000 troop deaths in the first month or two of a near peer fight. Fighting against China or Russia would be a heavy price for all involved.
    2
  5167. Those weapons look like they have substantially more recoil than previous infantry weapons
    2
  5168. Awesome update, cheers mate! (If you had to place a bet, who is going to win?)
    2
  5169. Just me or does it look like these rifles are kicking quite a bit?
    2
  5170. Your best video yet! (that I’ve seen) Subscribed.
    2
  5171. Hey this is def one of T&P's best vids! Well fucking done, gents. 10:15 can we talk about the fucking Bradley right about here?
    2
  5172. Your MST 3000 shirt earns you points amigo !

  5173. 10:16 fuck you man I'm watching this at 4am in the dark with earphones
    2
  5174. Nice shirt I love this channel and that’s my favorite show
    2
  5175. Great video!! I've had similar thoughts on the subject. I'm glad to see the US is thinking ahead and taking action. Sadly I know one of her closest allies is slower (the reason being politics) to see the real world threat picture. Keep up the great content! I enjoy every video you make!
    2
  5176. Thanks for the video!! :)
    2
  5177. Scary stuff. Thanks
    2
  5178. Great video! Thank you.
    2
  5179. Nice theory... but US already announced they will train ukranian pilots to use F-16s. So that doesn't go well with your theory
    2
  5180. Your lack of understanding of what constitutes humanity is….. jaded dude. The $16 billion for aid to the economy and humanitarian support is going to be handled, like the $7.8 billion the Obama administration funneled to crime syndicates after the last Russian assault, by Soros connected NGO’s and the Ukrainian mob. In other words, you miss completely the fact nothing in the Ukraine is on the up and up. It is the most corrupt country in Europe, it has “wonderful” organizations like the Azof battalions, whose murdering sprees in Donbas gave Russia the motivation for this round of horrors in Ukraine. Not a fan of either side in this conflict. We would not be sending one dime to either side.

  5181. CBS is censoring their own documentary in which they found back in April that only about 30% of the money the U.S. is sending is "reaching the front lines".
    2
  5182. Don’t forget several billion dollars are also allocated to go to corrupt politicians in the US and Ukraine.

  5183. Great work with the fundraiser team T&P! I wish you all the best!
    2
  5184. “Trickle down gun economy” had me laughing so hard. Your barely credible briefing is better than anything colleges are teaching now.
    2
  5185. Could you please make a video of the polish M762 Beryl assault rifle, take your time sir I'll be waiting 🙏
    2
  5186. Sup Cappie...how's everyone doing?
    2
  5187. uhhh isn't inflation and increased material cost the same thing?
    2
  5188. you lie !! you are not using iphone 5s anymore
    2
  5189. First of all I would like to say how much I enjoy your videos they are well presented and informative also it makes it better
    2
  5190. Jesus ! You screw up any Ukrainian name in this one :) .. Must be a new record.
    2
  5191. I enjoyed this content 😎
    2
  5192. Hi, very good channel and analysis. But unfortunatelly ypur historical analysis is not totally exact. it is very ukrainian oriented, and some of your arguments about nuke in Ukrain are inexact from international relation theories. But still, love your channel. :)
    2
  5193. Yo, Average Infantryman, here's a question for you. Why does NATO still exist? The USSR collapsed and with it the Warsaw Pact, so why does NATO still exist? Thanks and I love the channel.
    2
  5194. Okay you're being an effing armchair historian again regarding Russia and Ukraine!! No matter how much I like your technical videos, I don't know if I can continue watching someone that plays political softball with what has already become obvious... EVEN UKRAINE'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS THAT RUSSIA IS NOT PREPPING FOR AN INVASION OF UKRAINE, but YOU have to cow-tow to the line of the western media, the same Western media that Ukraine's own foreign minister blames for all of this craziness! I am so sick of the people that I used to respect turning tail and going with the so-called official stories that are nothing but lies. Have you even BOTHERED to listen to a few hours of Putin's speeches to find out what is his motivation for being upset at what has been going on??? To me you're becoming nothing but the Bill Maher of military videos.
    2
  5195. Budanov may be talking about GUR forces, not ZSU. When he says "I've used everything we have" it appears like he talks about forces he personally commands, not all of Ukrainian army.
    2
  5196. Liked!
    2
  5197. Kyrylo Budanov, the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence, revealed the information that they have no reserves to bring the reality of the war home to Ukrainians in the western part of the country. They need to initiate an unpopular general draft, and they're preparing the public for the eventual announcement. Warfare is also about morale, and the government has to keep the population on side.

  5198. I can tell you, it’s a total and utter disaster here, no order, no control…. Taliban only 90ft from us
    2
  5199. You don't look so hot. Are you taking care of yourself? Getting enough sleep?
    2
  5200. Great video! Keep up the awesome work!
    2
  5201. Wrong on one part….. the taliban captured multiple non functional weapons lol we don’t ship nor store weapons with firing pins…. Therefore the weapons have no way of firing a round
    2
  5202. I wanna see a Taliban and afghan perspective now.
    2
  5203. Excellent video, Cappy. This whole sorry mess is a replay of Saigon in '75.
    2
  5204. A 35 year old sergeant? Jeez, how many NJPs did this guy get
    2
  5205. Great reporting. Thanks for all the time you take to offer these updates. Extremely interesting, as well.
    2
  5206. My cat weighs 20 lbs actually so.. yeah. My arms are way more tuned to carry them heavier weapons now thanks to his chonkness 👍
    2
  5207. Great video. Well done. Best regards from the Republic of Ireland.
    2
  5208. Finally a fucking YouTuber that emphasizes on being average. I’m god damn tired of them high speed fuckers.
    2
  5209. Non-aggressive comment
    2
  5210. I sure as hell hope you have a license for that tactical pug.
    2
  5211. Aggressive comment you asked for it
    2
  5212. Host looks sick. Feel better bud.
    2
  5213. aggresive comment
    2
  5214. agressive comment!
    2
  5215. Chris is ACTUALLY HAPPY yes!!!
    2
  5216. an aggressive comment
    2
  5217. From what I have read, and also reading between the lines, 6.5 Grendel would have been looked at and ultimately rejected. Why? My guess is that it would not have the energy/density/energy level the Army is going for. And that magic number would be based on what body armor threat level they are trying to defeat at a certain distance. When have you ever heard of a bid that starts with “take this bullet and make it go 3000fps however you think is best. Good luck, and... go.” Personally I think that’s how we should always do our bids. Intelligence identifies the threat. We decide on what’s the limiting factor, then we challenge our industry leaders and smart people around the world to solve the problem.
    2
  5218. what? where's the main guy???
    2
  5219. What happened to PFC crappy ...hmm?🤨🤨 Ok I did this comment 😂 before watching the whole video... sorryyyyyyy lol
    2
  5220. Wouldn't 2 guys each with an underslung M203 on an M4 be just as effective and more versatile than 1 guy with this? I don't see the need for any repeating shotgun when its use is so limited and can be adequately fulfilled with the wide variety of ammunition of a single shot grenade launcher already in service.
    2
  5221. This gun isnt really new
    2
  5222. Feedback: Great channel, more pug content.
    2
  5223. Why are your arms so hairy tho?!?!?!?!
    2
  5224. I see this; I ask "why?" I watch video; I'm happy to hear we share similar mindsets. Looks like shit - clunky; difficult to operate. Why? Fucking Pentagon searching for solutions to problems such don't exist.
    2
  5225. From Iraq Baghdad.. i love this youtube channel
    2
  5226. What the fuck is that!!!! Jesus, I wonder what General just quit to became a chairman at the m-26 producing company.
    2
  5227. You're a weird dude but I like you.
    2
  5228. You know the British were first to use chemical weapons. Right?
    2
  5229. Grats on 100k!
    2
  5230. You're not thinking about this properly. If you mount an M26 to the pump of an Mossberg 500 then you can shotgun while you shotgun.
    2
  5231. Chris, the self-deprecating humour and your laid-back presentation, make the videos very watchable. The content is well covered but not too lengthy - each segment retains the viewers interest. Don’t change the formula! Your rapid growth in subscribers should be all the proof you need. Lastly, more of the pug please.
    2
  5232. Honestly i love all of your content. So cool to see and hear about whats going on currently with our boys in uniform
    2
  5233. Guns N’ Pugs! What could be better? Subscribed!
    2
  5234. Don't tell me how to live my life bro
    2
  5235. What I think? I think this shotgun looks like a giant penis sucker.
    2
  5236. Congrats on 100K subscribers! Way to not suck! kinda......
    2
  5237. That's a fugly little bastard.
    2
  5238. That district 9 tee is great: where can that be bought?
    2
  5239. I'm drunk. Might piss myself if u respond, otherwise don't care. But new line of thinking just hit me why some ppl probably hit 'dislike' vs. 'like'. 'Like' right now gets me part of 1.3K. Down yo ahs wud get me, right now, 20. Oh yeah! Lit' rewatched ur vid b4 I placed $ on TXT. B/C way MIC is, I'll win no matter what but I hate MIC; not you & your prev expenditure of time. Hope u stay well & safe. Hope "we", miraculously, don't take our sheet 2 moon (see recent accord). LIKE. Thx.

  5240. 2020 U.S. army adopts the new modular musket
    2
  5241. why are your arms so hairy tho??????
    2
  5242. Cool shirt
    2
  5243. I don’t really look at what the videos about I’m just here for the Camry
    2
  5244. Nice district 9 shirt. I have two of them! I guess you've come into contact with Weta? (I work at digi). Also I love this channel.
    2
  5245. I don't want to be on the business end of any of these...tools.
    2
  5246. Idk why the US Army chose a straight pull shotgun.
    2
  5247. Thanks!
    2
  5248. Where can I get that Gumby shirt?
    2
  5249. ERR CAPPY WHY NO COMMENT ON THE DEPLOYMENT OF YOUR VEHICLE THE STYKER to Ukrainian forces ..????
    2
  5250. 285 meters per second, huh? I'll take my stats in freedom units from now on if you don't mind lol.
    2
  5251. Dude, this is so close to being a great channel. Just do a couple of takes of your script to get it perfect, and work on your editing (the audio during the intro of the Thompson is a good example, there are quite a few dictation hiccups through out the video). A few more videos with an eye on polish, and this will be a really popular channel! Hell, 78k subs at this time, so; great job.
    2
  5252. This is video is laughable done by a guy who has probably never shot a gun in his life. LOL Replace the MP5. Not in this lifetime my friend.
    2
  5253. FUCK THIS THING ALL HAIL THE MP5
    2
  5254. I thought collapsible stocks where illegel?
    2
  5255. Rifles phased out SMGs because plates. But instead of investing more into a 5.7/4.6 SMG to counter that they're considering another 9mm? I don't get it.
    2
  5256. Pilots will probably get them to
    2
  5257. And yes. I do wear a fedora. Today. 🤔😏
    2
  5258. The way Cappy looked at the camera for the first 10 seconds made my dick move an inch, no homo
    2
  5259. React to the PC game SQUAD, it’s great
    2
  5260. Big oof cappy, coax is very necessary for any armored vehicle
    2
  5261. Thanks!
    2
  5262. I’m beginning to suspect you weren’t an 11B Cappy. You know that the only way is grunts take notes is with crayons 😂
    2
  5263. Ha ha! Loved the notes!
    2
  5264. bigger APC bigger target for drones
    2
  5265. Another great lesson!
    2
  5266. You still gonna do a video on infantry tactics
    2
  5267. What is that Firing simulation named at 1:26
    2
  5268.  @Taskandpurpose  Yeah I got that it was more of a throwaway/tong in cheek kinda thing. I guess it just rubbed me the wrong way. Not you personally but people in general who try to frame things as a matter of belief when it's really not. Rant over. Good vid, enjoyed it. Keep up the good content dude.
    2
  5269. Can we get an M416/M27 video?
    2
  5270. It’s not 800 it’s 1000 meters more if you know your shit and you should work on your pronunciation of the Garand / ps if WW3 does kick off then first thing I’m going to do for before I get my draft notice Is go to a marine recruiting station and ask the recruiter I’ll sign up today but I believe one thing the M14 as the M4 does not have range Necessary for engaging targets in that region especially if you’re engaged in a battle outside of a Majorly population area
    2
  5271. How does this channel not have more subs?!?!
    2
  5272. Knew a guy in Afghanistan that carried the M39 variant. It was heavy. That chassis does the weight no favors. The thing's fucking 15 pounds...empty The M14 base is a great battle rifle, but it is NOT a subMOA rifle. AR10 variants will have much better groupings.
    2
  5273. Check out Ian on Forgotten Weapons new video on the Erquiaga EM-62, it's a M1 Garand conversion that is a good bit lighter and shorter than the M14 and is converted to 7.62 Nato. It really looks better than the M14 in a few ways... Im just a collector and shooter so my opinion doesn't mean jack...but I used to be a 30 cal guy all the way, big AK fan and believed all the AK fanboy stuff about the M16/AR15...then I got one and spent time with it...I saw the sand and dust and mud tests where the AK fails miserably and the AR just flings the crap off the bolt and keeps chugging. MAC is doing a test on a mid tier AR and is currently at 6,000 rounds of Federal 55gr without cleaning OR even oiling the gun and zero malfunctions... I still love my AKs but Im grabbing my AR if I ever need it for something "real". And it's "gair-and" or "gu-rahnd"
    2
  5274. Hey now I'm drinking a bud light platinum right now and I enjoy them lmao
    2
  5275. Sooo we’re you hating on this gun or loving it?
    2
  5276. Just watched you on Newsmax good job.
    2
  5277. Damn, so I'm not the only ex-emo kid whose going into the military? I'm glad to know there's more of us out there haha
    2
  5278. Did you really just say that NATO 7.62 is more powerful than the 7.92 the MG42 used to shoot?
    2
  5279. Ohh Chrissssss ... 7.92x57 IS is more powerfull than 308 Nato... what ur thinking of is probably the 7.92 short or 8mm Kurz cartridge [7.92x33mm] wich was developed as an intermediate cartridge and first used in the Maschinenkarabiner 42 prototype series of rifles[development series that lead to the STG44]. It is offers very similar performance to 7.62x39
    2
  5280.  @Taskandpurpose  Just bustin' your balls about the editing errors. Even for a soldier (coming from a crayon eater) you're doing a great job man. One of my favorite channels. Keep it up man.
    2
  5281. [06/02/21] Okay, okay...the delivery is a little over the top. There is no need for the dramatics, and the build up. Sure, you're trying to add some comedy, but it detracts from the core. Time to tone down the antics and keep it to the point, or else create a T & P comedy channel for those that insist upon it...why...I have no idea.
    2
  5282. 🇩🇪🔥♥️❤️MG3❤️♥️🔥🇩🇪

  5283. Whooooow,The goat gun shoots something out of it¿?¿🤯🤯🤯💥

  5284. video starts at 3:19

  5285. Best advertisement, Love your work Cappy, Pentagon heard modular they'll be chasing up GOAT guns as replacements
    2
  5286. Melting point?
    2
  5287. Omg im here so soon lol
    2
  5288. Russian Paramilitary/Spetznaz teams ave been buying the L-96/Artic Warfare Magnum since the 1990s. Not surprising then that it's turned up in the Ukraine......
    2
  5289. Not a land mine? DoD and the Army didnt make Spider stand for something? Like SPecial Infantry DEnial Resource or some crap?
    2
  5290. My only question is where he got the omni consumer products shirt.
    2
  5291. Like you said, the spider shines on a base defense situation. Anything else its too complicated to set up quickly and too much equipment to lug around. On top of it the sensor wire thing is absolutely stupid and i doubt it will make any real difference.
    2
  5292. according to my caculations 513 milion over 290k units attributes to a little under 2k per unit so how come you say its 5k per unit?
    2
  5293. Crosses finger and hope future versions are like ones from Starcraft. Move like and actual spider, while hugging its target if found.
    2
  5294. I think every citizen should get a free XM7 20... That thing sounds fecking adorable... For the Algorithm...
    2
  5295. Whats a newspaper?
    2
  5296. Day 24 of begging Chris to cover more french stuff ( VBCI, Griffon, Jaguar, Akeron MP...) Where is it ????
    2
  5297. Making yourself look all pretty and then propagating the military industrial complex on youtube is about the least patriotic or American thing you could do
    2
  5298. Our m4s were taken from us in basic and made to be full auto
    2
  5299. You missed out on a golden title opportunity. "Why folks who want to retire the F-22 need to chill out"
    2
  5300. Drop the cringe worthy "jokes" and you might have a chance at making a half-decent video
    2
  5301. Because it's the most easy no recoil gun to use in battlefield 4 duh
    2
  5302. Actually Israeli's invented solid state hard drives way back in the 90's. A company called M-Systems got them working properly and they had a cache and the control software for maximising drive life. They were also certified to 3000G acceleration for military systems. That's another thing they should be famous for.
    2
  5303. Isn't this old news? I thought they adapted these bullpups in like 2013-14 and they chose the X95 not the TAR-21.
    2
  5304. Pineapple on Pizza, Seriously....
    2
  5305. Wait aren't they using X95s not Tar 21s?
    2
  5306. If only your good information were cut free from your sadly executed and poorly preformed sarcastic attempt at humor, you might have better hits.
    2
  5307. I'd suggest 20% more KAWAII on the thumbnail eyes
    2
  5308. Love the use of Arma footage. U always got some good content.
    2
  5309. I love your gratuitous use of Arma 3. A gentleman of quality
    2
  5310. How’d you get the Spear in Arma?
    2
  5311. Small technicality, the Mk 82 is 500lb but isn’t a guided munition. The GBU 38 is a 500lb JDAM, and the GBU 54 is a 500lb LGB/JDAM.
    2
  5312. Cutting the payload in half isn’t such a big deal if you can afford to build and operate twice as many.
    2
  5313. The only reason the B-52 is still flying and the only reason it would be used against a modern military is because it can carry 20 air launched cruise missiles and fire them from hundreds of miles away. They would never fly close to enemy territory.
    2
  5314. T & P, please cavate your allegations about the B-21 capabilities with the fact that you have not the ideas what you think it has. Almost everything about the B-21 is classified which means you don't know crap what it's actual capabilities are. We don't even know what the true B-2 capabilities are and it's been in service . There are capabilities that we still don't know about the F-22 or the F-35 so why would you think you have a firm grasps about the B-21? People who have been involved in the development of the B-21 have said that is beyond a 6th gen aircraft. The B-2 is still the most stealth aircraft in the world. If the B-21 is a magnitude better than that, then God help the enemy. And while people poo poo the B-21 payloads compared to the B-2, just remember that the B-21 only has 19 operational bombers about which half are in maintenance. The B-21 will have less payload but there will be at least 100 of them plus any foreign countries like Australia who want to buy the B-21. People poo Pooed the F-35 during development but every pilot that has flown the F-35 has said he wouldn't want to be in combat with any other aircraft.

  5315. missed a "B-2 boomer" joke.

  5325. The failure was on part of Shin Bet and not Mossad. They are kinda like DHS.

  5326. Your doing great work Cappy. Your an average infantryman with officer intellect.

  5327. Once again great work!

  5336. Wait no shrapnel? I thought shrapnel was how grenades killed I know I’m wrong but can someone explain?
    2
  5337. Just wanted to say a big thanks Chris, for introducing The Pentagon Wars to me - loved it ! Cheers brother 👍🍻
    2
  5338. WRONG ..the general say it need more , that mean a surplus of 600 IFV and 300 tanks and 600 howitzers beyond what the Ukraina army have in this moment ..
    2
  5339. Great Explanation of the use of the Bradley in the fight against the Russian Invasion.

  5344. Oh pashaw, Cappy! You're not washed up! You were an eleven bravo-- you probably haven't washed in years! 🛁🚿
    2
  5345. You forgot the fact that it's a noob gun in COD
    2
  5346. 3:00 nice shades.
    2
  5347. Why are guns called “weapons systems” now?
    2
  5348. pity thats not an ak74 in the thumbnail
    2
  5349. The author is mistaken that the gp-25 grenade launcher falls apart after 400 rounds. 400 shots can be opened as a guarantee, for example, I am not aware of cases of failure of the gp-25 due to loosening or abrasion of mechanisms and parts.
    2
  5350. 5 grand in the 80s is not worth 2 million today that's ridiculous, it's 20,000 !!!
    2
  5351. Cheers Cappy, I have been voluntold to make a new foreign weapons identification lesson for my unit. Now I know the visual difference between the 47 and the 74. I owe you a beer.
    2
  5352. Great episode!
    2
  5353. hey can u please make a video about the new hungarian weapons? pls . love your content btw
    2
  5354. Hey, Cappy, could you do a video on the Arjun MBT?
    2
  5355. Great vid and great sponsor spot. Actually may pick one up for someone for Christmas!

  5361. I’ve been to the heritage guild for my Bachelor party
    2
  5362. your vids are excellent and the content always interesting and informative, and I think it is great you can make some money from doing this. I want to personally thank you however for not referring to the soap as "tactical" soap, the word tactical is as misused as "milspec". Milspec condoms, tactical chewing gum, do people really buy stuff based on that crap? Anyway keep the vids coming please.
    2
  5363. why do you wear a plate carrier all the time?
    2
  5364. Love the soap commercial. Hairy, really hairy.
    2
  5365. Your american is showing every time you try to pronounce any location this vid. You also missed Turkey's economic issues right now, namely that they have the highest level of inflation in the world right now. In large part because Erdogan doesn't understand how macro-economics works. And the keeping Turkey in NATO is increasingly looking like it is going to be a money pit, as the West has to dump money into Turkey to prop it up.
    2
  5366. Great episode!

  5367. Come on Cappy you know where body armor should sit/be worn so why go so low on that rig in the beginning of video?
    2
  5368. Hahaha that’s funny when you go about the Russian retirement exoskeleton. Our babushkas can be combat ready now! Cheers from Vladivostok 🙂

  5371. They seem to be following Herr Hitler's coveting of the breadbasket of Ukraine, I suppose the five to ten western oblasts. I wonder if the Nazi's have any clue that an incursion by Poland would not see them leaving? If Russia takes Novorossiya and Poland five to ten western oblasts, Ukraine would be substantially truncated. I expect to see Poland go into Ukraine. The unknown is how Russia might react to that possibility. Russia might see an opportunity to pommel the unfriendly Poland without having to go into Poland proper. Russia might treat western Ukraine as their Kosovo, and once separated from Ukraine, set up a Russian Bondsteel, in perhaps seven oblasts, or ten.

  5372. YouTube not letting me like this video but it deserves a thumbs up
    2
  5373. Do these new fire control systems compensate for moving targets or just static ones?
    2
  5374. Where can I order the T Shirt?
    2
  5375. You guys made a video about the future of infantry warfare (I think it was either the Drone one or the one about a fight with China) and it was said that a lot of fighting is anticipated to be underground. How would this new sight, and prospective doctrine, work into that? Would all the features be necessary if a lot of fighting is taking place in tunnels and the like?

  5376. If anyone wants to use the bullpup ngsw 6.8 in a game, SP Tarkov has a mod for it

  5387. Correct me if im wrong but the US army almost found a replacement for m16 which is the XM8 but due to political elements the xm8 never be in US service....also what about the SCAR-L anyone could clarify why the couldn't replace the m16/m4
    2
  5388. Dude... The army no longer uses m16s. M4s. :)
    2
  5389. You ok cap? You seem depressed

  5395. Why would I snipe the like and subscribe button BEFORE we begin? At this point I don't even know if the video is good enough to justify hitting either button!
    2
  5396. Looking forward to the "Knife Guy Interviews" series, with discussions like Long Island Bouncer gives opinion of Knife Guy bringing his machete into the club. Also, Long Island Cop discusses chasing drunk Knife Guy down dark alley, and Long Island EMT talks about removing sheathed machete from Knife Guy's butt.

  5397. Fucking awesome video brother subscribed liked comment
    2
  5398. Wtf how the fuck are those dude shooting? Like no that is not the way to shoot a pistol.
    2
  5399. Very high speed video. Subscribed. Also your site is great
    2
  5400. The music turns me off. Voting thumbs down. The music is to manipulate the viewer's emotions. "It gives it a professional polish, don't you think?" I would imagine the maker of the video wants to maximize the profits, and I don't criticize him for that, but I'm spoiled by informational videos that put out information without fluff. I also understand that some people need fluff, because, otherwise, they get bored, or that information is, to them, a medicine best sweetened with music. I think they're missing out, because story telling, and that's what you get when you listen to an interview or lecture without the emotional music, is actually interesting. This is my last criticism, you'll be happy to read, since I'm configuring out "Tank & Purpose".
    2
  5401. But still, good video dude
    2
  5402. So you don't like boomers. Okay I'll block your channel.
    2
  5403. Holy Crap, you’re from Long Island as well? Ha. Nice.
    2
  5404. More importantly, why did my wife replace me?
    2
  5405. You did mention almost 9 minutes into this video that these pistols need to be broken in... Just out of curiosity, how long did it take to break the 1911 in or was it that great from the beginning?
    2
  5406. Love your videos. Unlike other channels you’re funny and not all completely serious for the entire video. I look forward for more videos!
    2
  5407. Damn he dissed my band hard. 😬

  5410. Is your right eyebrow always off or are you doing that on purpose
    2
  5411. Do you mean the American Revolution?
    2
  5412. "The hydrostatic effect".. sounds like bs... But it's not ^^ There are a few things to keep in mind though... The temporary cavity created has to be big enough to tear blood vessels and muscle. You also have to hit somewhere big enough, so the cavity has room and time to expand - hitting an arm will just create a small hole, but hitting the stomach or even thigh can increase the effect substantially.
    2
  5413. Just found your channel. Great job!
    2
  5414. That's $1380 per gun, you'd think the military would get a bulk buy discount wouldn't you
    2
  5415. I spoke to a Green Better a few weeks ago, he said the M9 Beretta jammed a lot.
    2
  5416. Dude, how did you get that AS SEEN ON TV clip?
    2
  5417. The M9 is garbage. Major upgrade IMO
    2
  5418. I like the new m17. I'm carrying one right now. Better grip and the frame mounted safety. Much better holster, as well.
    2
  5419. great video!
    2
  5420. u cant say ok boomer when 50% of your audience is one i guess
    2
  5421. Funny and entertaining and informative. Well done.
    2
  5422. "21 pilots of music" well your a fucking idiot trying to throw shade and can't even do it right did you mean, 21 pilots of guns?? Fucking dumb ass
    2
  5423. Ok...I'm just a civy puke here. But why are so many shooters in this video closing one eye? Does the Army not train both eyes open?
    2
  5424. 240 gunners get pistols , yeah right ! What military were you in.
    2
  5425. love your videos mate. keep it up bruh!
    2
  5426. Man, you're funny and do good work.
    2
  5427. Impressive... Very nice... Let's see Paul Allen's pistol....
    2
  5428. Do a video on russian sidearms I want you to talk about the MP-443 Grach
    2
  5429. You could have added that the communist won because the US stopped to supply the nationalists with ammunition. While they continue to supply weapons and ammunution to the communists.
    2
  5430. That was fun & informative 👍
    2
  5431. There's a correlation between use of turtle tanks and some Russian advances. But I'd say that dumbasses in Congress slowing down ammo deliveries is the correlated factor that will actually get upgraded to causation. Although both things are linked. The turtle tank advantage seems like it only exists if the opponent is using too many FPV drones because they are short on other types of boom booms.
    2
  5432. You posted pictures of my actual Stryker as well! From 2nd Infantry back in the Iraq days

  5435. The namer is heavier, it weighs 60 tons.
    2
  5436. I bet there gonna have the Ukrainians test it in battle.
    2
  5437. 55 tons too strict? More like way too lenient. IFV's are diverse vehicles doing many tasks without tanks, patrolling to keep cities safe, borders and perimeters, infantry support, etc. Europe is full of small bridges that can't take 55 tons. Even 40 tons are too bulky, but absolute maximum. 55 tons is a tank from the tactical mobility perspective. Maybe we should rebrand these new gen IFV's as "light tanks".
    2
  5438. 6:22 I know you have merely misspoken, but I am pedantic with words like that. :) No offense! D: "the kind of guy", not "kind of the guy" :P Yes, I am being very pedantic. Love you! Keep up le gud work! <3

  5439. BY THE WAY CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW PUG!! I OWN A PUG AS WELL. THEY ARE THE BEST DOGS DOWN RIGHT! ON THE TOPIC OF PMC GROUP'S? I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A NECESSARY EVIL THAT HAS TO BE DONE... WELCOME TO THE PUG LIFE😂!
    2
  5440. Your video was very well done and balanced. Your note on ? The thumbs down - I’d bet my mortgage that most of those thumbs downs were from people who did not watch the whole video. I think they were instinctive knee-jerk reactions by people who just saw the title and hit thumbs down. I’d definitely tell you if you were being rude or a jerk. In fact you came across as concerned, frustrated, and reasonably compassionate to all sides involved. Your tone of voice was fine throughout. Please don’t take the thumbs down problem personally. But maybe think carefully on the title of such videos. Like maybe “controversies and challenges with us/mexico border” or something similar. “I don’t know what it’s like to be in the shoes of a migrant” you absolutely come across as concerned for the safety of all involved and not judgmental. You are a good person and your talent of communication understandable by both left and right leaning people is a gift. Please don’t stop being you.
    2
  5441. Thanks!
    2
  5442. Look at Cappy, pretending he has to read the info about the drugs trade situation! Like he isn't really an international narco cartel kingpin!! Come on Cappy! We know you control the gangs and supply of the western hemisphere! Who you trying to fool?;

  5443. You missed the bipartisan legislation worked out by a republican lead that got stuffed in the house. :) Other then missing that, good job on this one. It's hard to be fair and factual.

  5460. seems like both methods would be hard pressed against an opponent that is properly prepared. as the slower, more steady rout, while safer, gives you less access to the room and an more prepared enemy who know their defense better can easily account for that , as well as the extra time given to them would be a boon in more than one way. like either way, breaching a room just sucks all around
    2
  5461. Hey brother, nice job overall. Retired SF and I still instruct tactical medicine and basic urban movement skills. I believe you nailed it for Big Army and then fell short on whats currently doctrine for SOF. SEALS also use an option called strong walling or "strong wall". SF/Guys behind the fence....hint, hint...🤫🤫🤫 Thes boys and girls have adopted a version that incorporates both styles you discussed. Speed with overwhelming accuracy and high levels of target discrimination and target identification. As you also said, it is only learned through repetition and an S-ton of bullets in training scenarios. Really enjoyed this video, keep up the good work troop! 😆 Having flash back to being a dismounted team leader in a Bradley during the 1st Gulf War. 🤣🤣🤣
    2
  5462. I like your style, bro. At least, more than your spelling. :-)
    2
  5463. Good topic. Good video. Good comments.... but you can't talk about clearing rooms without mentioning CQB in the same breath. Just sayin'. MOUT/UW and FIBUA/OBUA are basically the same thing. Same required capabilities and means to operate within an urban environment. Same considerations. Same mindset. Same toolbox. Same 360° threat. A long time ago, I was told that there were three main approaches to Room Clearing: The British way. Demo and drop the building that the room was in then move on to the next fight. P for plenty and a hot brew after. The Israeli way. Call in Close Air Support and let a Helicopter-launched TOW missile take out that pesky room and everything in/ around it. The US way. Dynamic entries utilizing violence of action aka CQB. The Bum Rush. MOUT was more about stuff like how to move around tactically. How to look out for booby traps and danger areas. Most US soldiers only had a taste of MOUT from BCT. Some units would send soldiers to MOUT School. A short course in Molotov Cocktails 101 and what it feels like to have a tank drive over you as you held that newly made Molotov in your sweaty hand. Gave you a saggy wooden plank to cross from one building to another, usually a few stories up. Mostly it was about familiarization and awareness building. Posts had MOUT Sites but it seemed that units didn't really use them that much. At that point, CQB was only done by a few units in the US Military. Mostly SOFs. Then, the Battle of Mogadishu happened in 1993 and MOUT changed not long after. Fragging Out was removed from the playbook. CQB and Gunfighting became a thing in it's place. MOUT was never about fighting a less technological force or even near-peer threats. It was more of battlespace/ environment awareness training. Then it became more about addressing the likelihood of having to fight an embedded enemy which would be mixed in with a friendly civilian population. MOUT became more hearts and minds, big picture kind of stuff. Things that successful outcomes are made of. Hence, the usage of terms with Surgical added. Hence, the ROEs and lack of Frag Outs. CQB became the new way of making things happen in MOUT. There were Assault Teams and Support Teams. Support did Overwatch. Assault Teams would leapfrog and maintain a push while Support would be outside covering the most likely exit. At that time, the idea was to play Batman. Using grappling hooks, enter high and force the enemy down. Give them a way out, rather than corner them and having them fighting to the death. Better to channelize them so they could be smoked en masse, outside. Teams moved around as a 4 man Stack and held each other by the LBE with weapons staggered. Maximizing firepower and control. Using each other for shields. Another thing of mention, was that if you got shot, the guy behind had hold of your LBE and could get you off the X. Number 1 Man had the short end of the stick but it was an important slot. Wanted your best shooter up front, walking point and first to fight. He was always first man in. The critique at around 13:07 is not fair though. Anything front would have been shot at by the 1st Man as he was entering and transitioning to working his corner. Also, Number 2 Man would be engaging as his rifle would be positioned, level and over the Number 1 Man's shoulder. Number 3 Man would have his weapon canted high, for anything on rooftops while doing outdoor movement. Inside, it would be a modified one handed high carry. After the 1 and 2 Men split, he would go down the center and be ready to take up the slack if they got hit. 3 Man was also Breacher. Number 4 Man was Rear D and was also called the Door Man. After a room was entered, the 4th Man would always check doors before the room could be called Clear. There's a trick to it which I won't mention but the fellow who showed it to me had a steel plate in the back of the his head, from that time he failed to check the door. Reading wise, there was FM 90-10 Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain and FM 5-31 Boobytraps. Still good nuggets to sift. While others will often cite Khe Sanh, Stalingrad has lots more stories and wisdom. Battle of Kapyong, too. Keep your E-Tool sharp on one edge and handy! Grozny is another great more-modern well to draw from, also. Looking back at that time, there was a lot of work done out on the MOUT sites. Lots of time in the Kill House. Weapons used were M249s, M16A2s, M231s, and an M60. At one point DA and Discovery had film crews documenting stuff as it was going down. Lots of think-tanking with input asked from all. Was an exciting time. Doctrine was changing and evolving. After reading a recent breakdown of MOUT on Globalsecurity.org, seems like things have come full circle. Same problems. Same critiques. smh. Thanks for your video which allowed me to travel down Memory Lane. Liked and subbed. Here's a classic CQB video from the early 1990s: 2nd batalion 1st special warfare training group CQB https://youtu.be/klbaL8N_VQ0

  5482.  @Taskandpurpose  I was a 13F for 9 1/2 years and currently working in a Simulation facility at Ft. Sill OK helping newbies and Officers learn the skills to be a FISTER. While in - I was attached to either an Infantry unit or Armor unit, depending on where I was stationed. Also, was Mechanized for 80% of my tours, only time I wasn't was while I was in Berlin, Germany around the time the wall was coming down. During offensive maneuvers we always following behind the Platoon leader or company commander depending on what our rank was and was never with the Weapons Squad. In a Defense position we were set up to where we could get the best view of the battlefield but still be hidden and still have direct contact the the PL or Company Commander. It was an awesome job and held carried a lot of responsibility of knowing where we were at all times and where we were going. Would not of traded that job for anything!

  5494. You are certainly not alone when it comes to fear of water good sir. My rule is, if I can't see the bottom and everything that's in the water, I don't go in. And if it's too deep for me to touch the ground, that's an auto-nope.💯🤣
    2
  5495. I don't even like to drink water...... fish shit in it...
    2
  5496. i fear water to , i can totally relate to you xD , blowing stealthe bubbles and water missiles , its scary xD
    2
  5497. For police purposes, it's just an armored vehicle, and only used by SWAT. Banks use armored vehicles, but no one characterizes that as "militarization." If your husband or father were a SWAT officer who had to rescue an innocent hostage in a barricaded domestic violence situation, you'd rather he have an MRAP for protection than be a sitting duck in a regular police cruiser. Only knee-jerk, hyperpartisan police haters could object to that.

  5498. 31 000 plus views in 1 hour. How fast this chanel have grown :D Always a pleasure to see you
    2
  5499. MRAP was a good move imo. It’s not a replacement for the HUMVEE, rather it is focused on COIN operations. Idk who thinks COIN is over but they’re dumb. The next fight is most likely near peer however after the main fight is done there will likely be insurgencies. The move of the MRAP is to consolidate gains. Just like IRAQ, 3 weeks of a large scale invasion and then 10 years COIN. MRAPs are here to stay
    2
  5500. The volume of the blonde guy in I'm guessing congress is inaudible
    2
  5501. Cappie, how does MRAP compare to the M113 as an APV? Will we see the whole infantry unit sitting on the top? Also what about shell fragments?
    2
  5502. Regarding police millitarisation, if you equip them like an occupation, they might just start looking like one. And yes, the MRAP, while a defensive vehicle at nature, is the posterchild of this, and it is at heart a vehicle designed for US occupation forces.
    2
  5503. Way to navigate the minefield of the police militarization issue. You'll need an MRAP to do it or not. Ba da dum.
    2
  5504. Fun Fact: yhe very early International MaxxPro MRAPS had a top speed of 130mph. They eventually governed the top speed down to 70mph later on. They also debated the engines from 430-450hp down to 330hp. 3guess as to why, you'll only need 1 though, lol
    2
  5505. Police getting military equipment is a scary thought, yet again police nowadays are getting ambushed and being sprayed by bullets and getting killed when their cruiser is just a normal car and bullets go through them with ease. Swat getting military vehicles like the MRAP sounds like its nessary.

  5519. I really like your bugout bag. I have gone bald, so I would not need the essential hair-care products you wisely carry. I'd put in a few rounds of good Scotch instead. I'd have to put them in my camelback, because: glass breaks. Otherwise, I'm going to copy your bugout bag. Thanks for the great advice. I will also be carrying a shit-load of knives. This requires no explanation, obviously.

  5523. Your funniest video yet!!! I’m peeing my pants!! 😆😂👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

  5524. I think the most interesting part of the video (though it was all admittedly very interesting), was Chris’ parting thoughts. How will this end? Even if Ukraine kicks every Russian out the country and they all run back to Russia, then what? They’re neighbors and it’s not like Ukraine can say “F this… those guys are a-holes… we’re moving to a new house.” A country is stuck where it’s located. And when the Russians are safely back behind their borders, what is to stop them from just launching missile strikes for days? If Ukraine isn’t allowed to retaliate and attack Russia (or at least install some sort of credible threat of retaliation), what is to stop Russia from keeping this going for years? Sanctions? That didn’t stop Castro in Cuba (though the Cuban people eventually suffered quite a bit). Curious if Chris or anyone else can speculate.
    2
  5525. Hey Chris, it's almost certain that Ukraine has already ATACMS. The bombardment of the airbase in Crimea would not have been possible without them. HIMARS with weird covers to conceal their missiles have been spotted multiple times already. On the other hand, Ukraine probably only got very few of these and the use probably has to be green lighted by the US.

  5526. Sig has been trash for the last decade and selling platforms with known safety and reliability issues. There's a recall on everything they've released over the past 10 years - even their fucking bolt gun. Quit buying their garbage and make them test their own products. Edit: also, that case is aluminum and brass, not steel and brass. This was developed by Shell Shock Technology half a decade ago. Nothing new.
    2
  5527. Hmmm... The audio video sync is kinda off? Dunno something feels weird
    2
  5528. When can I get one?

  5529. Very enjoyable video. But what has happened to the pug? 😁

  5530. Great Job..well done sir ( using what you have the best you can)..

  5531. How about the torture by tropical enviroment=)))

  5532. Seems a fine rifle. We'll see. Looks like you have found your razor blades again? Greets, T.

  5533. You should have kept the scruff

  5534. i cant wait to see you play more battlefield 2042.

  5535. We absolutely need a strong military. We also must remember what, President Eisenhower warned us of. Political engineering by the permanent military industrial complex, is the reasonwhy they are made by “small businesses in all 50 states. PMIC is a double edged sword and it is often against national interests. Please watch “why we fight” 2006. Eisenhower being a former military commander of the allied forces, is not peacenik either.
    2
  5536. Capi, you ever though of doing a video of weapons of the Americas? Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico for example.
    2
  5537. Cappy why’s it look like your tripping balls when looking down range lol Happy new year bro keep them coming!!
    2
  5538. Oh man.... NFT joke
    2
  5539. Galils (SAR) were still being issued as late as 2009. The M4 was introduced in 2000, but we still had them. The shlav bet and reserves still used M1 carbines as well as late as 2010 or so.
    2
  5540. great video!!!
    2
  5541. That is one problem. The thumb selector switch is connected to the lever selector so that when you move the thumb switch from Safe to Fire, the lever moves with it making it harder to move than most designs and made the distinctive "click" noise that AKs make. I'm still not sure why the IDF went from Galils to AR-15 derivatives. Probably funding as the Galil is supposedly more expensive to make than the AR-15 types. Interesting observation. Last time I went to Israel, the IAF conscripts were pulling guard duty with M16A1s, which were probably twice as old as the conscripts.
    2
  5542. do they still make rip it?
    2
  5543. Almost 10 pounds for a 5.56 rifle is fucking asinine.
    2
  5544. ive noticed you handle recoil like a little school girl. i wish i could sell you some muscle.
    2
  5545. I want more pug in 2022, Cappy
    2
  5546. If you pass again by Tel Aviv, let me know, so we can get a pitta ♥
    2
  5547. I screenshotted it
    2
  5548. Too many moments with Estonian soldiers in this video. So many, that I even recognized myself! Twice!
    2
  5549. I saw a comment the other day that said the twist rate doesn't support nato SS109 ammunition so the Israelis manufactured their own, also the ace uses a STANAG magazine now compared to its predecessors' stoner 63 type magazine.
    2
  5550. Happy New's Years T&P!! Cappy nice review, owning a Galil AR in .308, one of the best damn battle rifles out there in my opinion.
    2
  5551. Just noticed the "SPARE PARTS" patch...IMO...it's like the Star Trek red shirts...🥲
    2
  5552. Used Galil for about 8 years. SAR and AR versions. Very reliable. Once during live fire after blank exercise...my gun was filled with residue from the blanks...did not want to shoot...i just spat a loogie on the reciver and it worked again like charm. Used the Galil in desert for 3x6 months...no problems what so ever. Dream gun for that setting. Dust,sand nothing stopped it from shooting. Also used the Valmet for 6 months. To be honest..i like Valmet more because of the fact it runs on enemy ammo.
    2
  5553. Finally, a YouTube channel that does not beg the viewers to like and subscribe and ring the goddamn bell. I'm so tired of hearing that everytime I watch a video, and I've noticed that none of the videos on this channel include that at the beginning or end of the videos. Makes me want to subscribe!
    2
  5554. DUDE!!! Cap, you don't even blink during full auto fire broski= you's a bad ass. What's sexier? The Galil, or the ladies of the IDF...? ;-D
    2
  5555. me, a colombian waiting to see some of the galil in my country and the contributions to its evolution
    2
  5556. Always have enjoyed your videos brother. Happy New Year! Eric in Kissimmee, Fl.
    2
  5557. I dont know what to say. Troops round here used to curse the Galil. ''Heavy and made of cheap metal'' if i remember correctly. Allthough i dont have a personal hand on experience, friend of mine had a story to tell. Apparently he dropped his Galil in basic training and the barrel got bent. Needless to say he got some flack for doing that but, cmon, bent barrel from just dropping it?
    2
  5558. Hi been appreciating your videos. Neither here nor there but your focus on the bottle opener reminded me of a historic Sharps carbine with a coffee grinder in the stock. Cheers!
    2
  5559. Happy New Year Cappy! We Love u buddy!

  5560. Good insightful video! Being a Veteran of both the US Army and the Estonian Defense Forces Army, I was there in the EDF in 1995 helping to develop the structures of the than fledging EDF Military Police when the EDF got the Galil AR and SAR. At that time I recommended the US M16 over the Gallil. I had both the Galil AR and SAR issued to me however most of my Platoon Soldiers mainly had the longer Gallil AR. I also tested the Mini Uzi and found it to be a total waster of ammunition, inaccurate and Difficult to handle control. My Glock 17 was far more accurate . The Mini Uzi was a total waste of Estonian taxpayes money. My experiences from extensively using the M16 A1/ A2 and M4 as compared to the Galil AR/ SAR, is that I found that the M16 was a superior firearm, weapon all around. The M16 was more accurate and I would take it anyday over the Gallil. The Estonian Defense Forces will be phasing out the Galils. As recently the EDF adapoted an M16 clone ,the Rahe made by LMT company. I think that was a correct move which should serve the EDF well for many years to come.

  5569. So you are the reason we one the state championship game thank you

  5570. Holy chuckle fuck I’m early well good work man keep it up love the videos
    2
  5571. With Russia and China getting to reverse engineer the captured NLAWs from Ukraine, a lot of these APCs will become museum items soon. Also, the agility and flexibility provided by JLTVs will only make APCs more redundant.
    2
  5572. Damn, never come this early before XD
    2
  5573. You know what would be a substantial game changer? If the M113 could fly.
    2
  5574. The armed foces of Bosnia and Herzegovina still used the M113 as the main IFV instead of the real IFV BVP M-80 idk why
    2
  5575. Beggars can't be choosers. Better then not having any APC at all.
    2
  5576. At least the m113 doesn't store fuel in it's rear doors or have the soldiers literally sit on a fuel tank built into the bench in the centerline of the AFV like the BMPs do
    2
  5577. I'll sub if you timestamp or add chapters.
    2
  5578. I listen to your shows regularly but need to correct you on the pronunciation of the word Sikh, it is not pronounced as Sheekh. I hope you can take this on board.
    2
  5579. Thank you chris great video but you forgot to mention the Saudi Arabia and Yemen war, the Sudan civil war, China and Taiwan, North vs South Korea,, India and Pakistan, Islamists in Europe, (very soon a migration war), and many more. let's see what 2024 gives us, more conflicts or solutions.
    2
  5580. No info about African wars 😢
    2
  5581. love the channel, jus being nitpicky but ISIS stands for the Islamic State in Syria, so saying "ISIS in Syria" is redundant 🎉 I'll be quiet now

  5584. In .338? Someone has had to much sugar cereal
    2
  5585. Thank you for sharing this with us. I thought the new sig ammo used a steel base on a brass cartridge. Sort of like a brass belted magnum case but with steel instead of thicker brass. Am I remembering wrong? I thought they said this allowed them to make a shorter case than a standard 338 reducing the weight to be similar to 7.62 ammo. Now I need to find sigs video and check.

  5586. Those suppressors are made by Delta P Design!

  5590. Best production you've done so far.
    2
  5591. This video lacks the fact that this was a massive victory for America. It’s not chaos. This is an elimination of chaos. Right-wing commentators, especially Russian backed propaganda in media in Russia or on Fox News, or SkyNews have been labeling this as “chaos”. This is the RESOLUTION OF PREVIOUS CHAOS for democracy. But they aren’t on our side so they call it chaos. It’s solidifying. Not chaos. There’s no real mention of it. It might be complicated, but this thing clearly went all the way around between Biden, Blinken, Erdogan, Netanyahu, Lebanon, and Hezbollah about to be wiped out if not agreeing to a ceasefire, at that point the Kurds and Iraq were an afterthought because they would love it anyway. This is a masterpiece of Biden’s engineering. It wouldn’t have happened without his blessing. And at the worst all you have to do is look at the Bathist-Sadamist style torture proof to know it couldn’t get any worse. Whatever Biden got them to agree with, it’s more that anyone thought they would publicly acknowledge.

  5594. 50 to 100 rounds? In Canada our C9 5.59 machine guns ammo box come in 220 round box
    2
  5595. Cappy, honestly i have a legit question bro. Why are we all not fighting for more pay in all the forces. Basic grunts should get 50,000 if they are in combat. Adjustments for everything else. Just saying man….i feel if your putting your life on the line no matter what color or race, or religion. As long as your for the US we all bleed green right? Much love broski but i feel they all should get paid more…very dangerous job!!
    2
  5596. Last cavalry charge in North America was in NW Nebraska.
    2
  5597. Glad you mentioned Afghanistan but you forgot about their involvement in a calvary charge in Mazar-i-Sharif. Granted, if it wasn't for US air power, it would have been a major defeat against the Taliban.
    2
  5598. Those Soviets where mad pussy. They had an almost 4 to 1 advantage then they retreat after losing 10% of their forces. If that's how Russians fight wars then ww3 will be a cake walk.

  5599. Hello. My name is Alistair Young and I am a teacher from Bradford. I am starting to create my third educational video related to teaching young people about the importance of remembrance. I would like to do a section on the incredible sacrifices made by our military horses and would love your help if possible by allowing me to use some of this incredible footage with appropriate crediting of course. Thanks so much

  5600. Good video , but I don't want to buy your car.

  5605. Dude, it's ok to just say "we don't know how many there are in service right now" instead of going back and forth about numbers you don't really grasp.
    2
  5606. Good vid, Cappy!
    2
  5607. A video about Romania?
    2
  5608. perfect use of Bender <3
    2
  5609. I like your video's, but your scope is just way too narrow. You'r so US minded, that as a military 'observer/journalist' it becomes crippeling for your videos. Like your M113 video is just not good.
    2
  5610. Apologies, being picky, it's: "Who can see whom"
    2
  5611. I need a custom badge!
    2
  5612. Hyperstealth stated that Digi camo actually works better than organic camo. Our eyes do find it harder to see it. Just UCP had wrong color pallets. And Scorpion was older design by crye that they trialed to make MC. So all US army do is take the older non used camo, change one or two dyes and viola!
    2
  5613. Probably a dumb question but why not have a camo uniform you can just turn inside out to have a two in one camo suit?
    2
  5614. Love your channel! Long time sub!

  5619. A buck 110 folder is all you need, ive (painstakingly) cur down little trees about probably 4-6in in diameter with that lil knife and a nice rock to beat it into the tree. I’ve broken the blade of probably 5 of those things, but at 30-40$ a piece it don’t break the bank to replace em. Just the remember, it’s better to have a cheap tool you aren’t afraid to use and abuse, than to have a expensive one you are.

  5620. “Why headquarters?” I’m fuckin dead
    2
  5621. Thanks!
    2
  5622. idk cappy, this really sounds like a case of "left hand not knowing what the right is doing" kinda thing
    2
  5623. I expect there is an obvious answer to this question, but why is the 9mm round smaller than the 6.8mm?
    2
  5624. I'm binge watching all Task & Purpose videos. Please halp!
    2
  5625. Noticed that you went to Heritage Guild to fire it, that's where I go to shoot.

  5630.  @Taskandpurpose  Pulling the mp5 off the green screen was very sick! Amazing channel
    2
  5631. Love your channel. When you shoot in stending position keep your right elbow close to your body and not open like a wing. Ex IDF
    2
  5632. Jesus. Fucking. Christ. the mp5 came out great at first due to it coming from the g3 which came from the CATME being around since the mid 50’s. Legitimately it’s a 9mm g3
    2
  5633. Can you do my favorite smg the HK UMP 45?
    2
  5634. Cappy, commenting from India. Love you. Just love you.
    2
  5635. I lived in LA when that robbery happened. They did go to a gunstore and told the owner they needed firepower and the owner obliged. They interviewed one of the officers who explained what they had to do.
    2
  5636. Are you self-conscious, Cappy, that your forearms are covered in gorilla hair? That seems like a tough break in life. I guess that's why you got your good looks. Love ya!
    2
  5637. Could the P90 take the place of the MP5 as I think it was designed to defeat body armour?
    2
  5638. But then there’s 300 blackout, don’t know if they will every do anything with that round but it’s a lot better then 9mm at the close quarters suppressed short barreled weapon. Mp5 is still badass tho
    2
  5639. “Call of Duty: Passive Aggressive Warfare” doesn’t have quite the right ring to it
    2
  5640. Wait.... what about battleships......!?!
    2
  5641. 23:15 "projects that tried half as much as the LCS and accomplished even less" I suspect that you were thinking "tried more, accomplished less". Less/less carries little weight as an argument.
    2
  5642. And who does retired Admiral Vern Clark work for now….Raytheon. It’s all about securing that “no work” paycheck after you retire. Please understand that the corruption in the military ranks is a real issue.
    2
  5643. Nice report Cappy!
    2
  5644. Thank you for a well done & informative video 👍
    2
  5645. Heroes! Brilliant work there.
    2
  5646. Hey cool. I was there
    2
  5647. So... why no swords and suits of armor then? Finally someone got the excuse to use them and yet their not. :(
    2
  5648. 18:06 I'm sorry, 300K /Barrals per day is nothing compared to the 12M/Barrals per day that the US uses. Saudi Arabia has been crapping on the US and its biggest customer is China. Why are we protecting Oil shipments from one enemy to another enemy.

  5649. Command & Conquer Prism tanks coming into their own.

  5650. Thanks!
    2
  5651. Very informative video but I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the oil and fuel situation NATO would have to deal with in the event of war. We used around 2 billion gallons of oil for the first Gulf War but we had Saudi Arabia providing it all. I’m certainty NATO would have to acquire and transport more than that amount of fuel but without a partner like Saudi Arabia. This seems like a major problem for NATO.

  5652. You can see this guys only personality is that he was in the military

  5653. I am new to your channel, but you earned my sub with this video. I never listen to the trash talkers, who put down every new plane and vehicle. Good Job!
    2
  5654. What's the reason behind extending the TOW launcher only when needed?
    2
  5655. Where’s the only fans
    2
  5656. The 25mm was adequate when it was introduced but compared to other more powerfull guns ranging from 30 to 40mm it lacks the knockout punch. In order to defeat advanced armor on contemporary vehicles, the have to make the penetrator much thinner and longer than they would like because a small penetrator means bad postpen effect. This means that a 25mm gun has to fire more shots in order to achieve the same level of lethality. Of course that only applies if you use the maingun against enemy IFVs instead of ATGMs If i were to design a future IFV i would make a variant with a 50mm gun so that it can take out enemy drones with burst ammo basically similar to the 57mm AA variant of the BMP3 the russians just adopted. Also from a defense perspective a 50 or 57mm gun is much more effective in taking out the optics of enemy MBTs in emergency selfdense situtations and with lightly armored unmanned turrets being the future of MBT design, a 5 or 57mm gun might be able to penetrate the turret and take out the gun aka achiving firepower kill
    2
  5657. Thank you for sharing this info. You are a good communicator.
    2
  5658. Your content is awesome 🤠
    2
  5659. Cappy, do not bullshit man, in the gulf war the Bradley could see 3km, other units weapon systems could see what brand sigarettes Saddam was smoking. Now some facts, almost all friendly fire incidents where caused by the Americans, seeing a vehicle 3km away or 30 meters does noet make a different if you can not identify it. You Americans could see everything including Saddams safs, yet could not find the scud missiles Iraq was firing. Yes the Bradley is a good vehicle, its big, uses a lot of fuel and needs a lot of maintenance. It was amfibic so it could cross rivers, had a low profile so it would not been seen 3 km away, and it had speed to keep up with the Abrams tank. In fact it is so good that the next ifcv will not be of U.S origin.
    2
  5660. Armor without infantry is vulnerable. the M113 couldn't keep up with the M1, so they had to develop something that would keep up.
    2
  5661. OMG spooktoon
    2
  5662. The Bradley is just less of a failure then the Canadian stryker
    2
  5663. Hey 👋 Can you please make a video about the Swiss sig 550/ stgw 90 please.
    2
  5664. enjoy your vids, the info, perspective and humor. maybe you could see about changing that background music though. I realize it's not a major focus, just kind of cloying after a few minutes. Otherwise, keep up the great work Cappy!
    2
  5665. WTF is it with the background music? It's wholly inappropriate in style! Also, mostly irrelevant comparing to US tanks.
    2
  5666. still no NGSW?
    2
  5667. Hey Chris. You can and should do better than this. The T-72 doesn't cost 500k to buy, unless you are buying those from 1980. Only the thermal sweet costs 250k $ They cost 3+ million and that's only because it's maker UralvagonZavod makes them at a loss. They literary have 2 billion $ annual loss that's covered by petrodollars. Russians are selling arms at a loss to any potential and current adversary to the West. Further, the T-72 was an evolution from T-64, as it's cheaper counterpart. Another point you are wrong on is the speed. Russian tanks are not fast, with exception to T-80BV's. There many other incorrect statements. Brother it seems to be as though your research were clickbait Youtube videos.
    2
  5668. Only person to break censorship law? There were dozens right after 24th continuously breaking this law without a problem while being in Russia. + after September every telegram channel and a lot of state media stsrted to call ot war without problems
    2
  5669. Will you make a video about full auto battle rifles FN FAL ,scar H,HK G3,HK417 and what’s their role in modern military ?
    2
  5670. Very interesting and funny at the same time. Really like Your show.

  5676. Thanks, great job

  5677. There is something else you didn't, and probably can't, cover. And, that is how reliable these systems are in actual usage. First, it has to actually work and stay working. How good is the software? What is the mean time between failure for the various systems? And, second, the systems have to work as advertised. Maybe they do. Maybe they don't. Any time that a weapon leaps generations in multiple fields simultaneously, I expect a multi-year litany of teething problems. One lesson we definitely learned in the Cold War was that much of the Soviet threat was hype. Many of their weapons just didn't consistently work as advertised, and many just couldn't be kept running. The US often (and appropriately, but that's another story) prepared to face opposition that existed mostly in propaganda. Can they make even a small number of these tanks work as advertised? We don't know - just as we didn't know during the Cold War how effective much Soviet weaponry was. So, where does that get us? I have no idea. The impression I get is that our armed forces are in decline, that systemic failures around poor leadership and poor equipment choices (I'm more a student of naval history than army - so please bear with me here) is on the verge of relegating our armed forces not only to being expert at fighting the last war (not the next one) but also having equipment that no longer serves the purpose. Back in WWII, weapons could be designed and brought into service remarkably rapidly - that is no longer the case. We can't build a war-winning military in a year or two as was possible 80 years ago. Current technology requires far too long a lead time.

  5678. Why not just create nukes, space lasers, MOBs war is meant to be fought to the very bitter end. If nations want to go to war make sure they aint half assing and make sure they put there people to mind when fighting or starting a war its just not worth it. These tanks are just candy and a waste of time, resources and manpower. Certainly in ww2 tanks were easy prey for bombers and airpower, not excluding Naval bombardments too. Todays war are wars fought with propaganda and about showing who just got the bigger schlong. If you want to win a war the best way is with the trust of your men and women, trust built upon having their stomach full. Economic Might is the only way to win a war, WW1 and 2 showed us that.

  5681. We got these in Afghanistan back in 2011. 😒... We were told that taking them outside the wire and actually using them in a combat environment would void the warranty, so they stayed parked for the entire year. Still had to do PMCS every week, washed the windows, sweep out the dust, keep it greased... But never actually got to drive them.

  5682. Do I see the 28th ID (Keystone) patch on Private Spare parts there!? I think I do!! HOOAH!! Also the JLTV replacing the HMMWV? Never gonna happen. Especially now that we're retraining for big wars instead of anti-insurgency. The HMMWV was just asked to do what it wasn't designed to do. The HMMWV is a cheap fast produced lightly armor vehicle to get shit moved around on the front line. Be that troops, casualties, supplies &/or supplement units lacking in other vehicles. The HMMWV is just too multipurpose to faze out. They would be better off just building a MK2 HMMWV. Also as far as maintenance goes. Even though the HMMWV might be in the motor pool more often. It was easy to fix & would be back in action in no time with decent mechanics.

  5702. How about a PLA air assault by their airborne divisions on Taiwanese island? How many airborne soldiers can be dropped in one day or in one night? 100,000 in 8 hours time frame? Or 200,000 in 24 hours? 100 airborne units per stealth cargo plane, multiplied by 100 stealth cargo planes pass per hour, multiplied by 8 hours, equals 80k PLA airborne units dropped overnight. In the next 16 hours from morning to the evening assuming air dominance over Taiwan, another 160k PLA airborne units can be dropped. Meanwhile, 25,000 PLA marines can assault the coastline along with PLA Navy dropping heavy armor onto the shore? PLA airborne units can use antitank missiles to counter Taiwanese armor. Invasion is done in a day or two.
    2
  5703. Unless China starts building AMPHIBIOUS capability, Taiwan is safe from an invasion. They are NOT safe from a bombing or missle (probably both) campaign though. Commercial ships are WAY too slow to load, unload, and EASY targets to get sunk. They also mostly rely on INTACT port load/unload facilities. NOT A VIABLE OPTION.

  5704. your videos are great cap. keep it up
    2
  5705. Did Cappie mean 2049 on the screen or 2041 as he said for Chinese/US parity?
    2
  5706. I dont see how transporting 25000-50000 soldiers at a time, when you need 250 000, is a problem. They will simply do it over 2 week, 1 month or 6 month if needed and sacrifice the first waves. Their mentality is the same as russian - life doesn't matter. But good points about corruption and motivation.

  5718. The REAL History of the ACU: Originally Digital Camouflage was developed by the U.S. Army for vehicles. It worked, but was too complicated to paint on them. Canada ran with the Digital Camouflage idea, but they used them for their uniforms, and it worked AWESOMELY. U.S. Marine Corps bought the copyright from Canada to use them as MARPAT... also working AWESOMELY. U.S. Army was jealous, asked the Marines to let them copy it (without EGA symbols) USMC told them NO! U.S. Army went to Canada and bought their own copyright, but could NOT use the same "Woodland Colors" as MARPAT because it would violate the USMC's own design trademarks/copyrights. So they went with the ACU (Awesomely CRAPPY Uniform) instead. [[ Compare them... Canada / USMC / US. Army digital uniforms ALL SHARE THE EXACT SAME PATTERN, just different color schemes]] TRUE STORY... LOOK IT UP.

  5729. Thank you for mentioning Global Power Competition - isolationists seem to be ignorant of the fact that if the US removed itself from the international stage, then other competing powers would just fill that vacuum at the enrichment to themselves

  5730. You should take consideration on the difference of purchasing power parity between the US and China. Everything in China is cheaper.

  5731. a real mech warrior ride in the hellhole
    2
  5732. Honestly I think the whole concept of IFV is dumb. Mech infantry needs battle taxis that can carry lots of troop quickly and reliably over as many kinds of terrain as possible, with basic armor protection against bullets, shell fragments, and possibly mines. Expecting these vehicles to also function as light tanks or tank destroyers is an unneeded feature that adds dramatically to weight. Excessive weight is far more detrimental to these vehicles than any benefit gained by antitank weapons and excessive armor. Weight determines how difficult they are to deploy by air or ship, what bridges they can use, their ability to move on soft ground and how much maintenance they will take. If fire support is needed let it be provided by separate dedicated vehicles. It is WAY easier to deploy two thirty ton vehicles than one sixty ton vehicle.

  5735. you have grown a lot with the channel, good to see. high info density as well. good good
    2
  5736. The way you say "vehicle" is incorrect. In actual English (as in Englishman English), it's "veacle". There's no "hickle" in there at all.
    2
  5737. Here's a novel idea... How about the brass take lessons learned from past programs like the A-10 that had a relatively short design-to-production period and proved to be enormously successful?

  5740. first video I've seen on your channel, great content
    2
  5741. I enjoy definitively your channel. Keep up the great work!!! However, I take issue with your categorization of ALL AUS officers. Having served as a Marine infantry officer once in command of 2dANGLICO, then the largest airborne unit in the Corps, I had the honor to serve with many fine Army contemporaries, (18th Abn Corps [82d Airborne], 24th Mech ID, 75th Ranger Regt, and the 7th SF Grp. While there were certainly a few exceptions, most of these Army officers truly cared for the soldiers they were entrusted to lead and wanted to bring them back home alive notwithstanding the necessity of accomplishing the mission. I would challenge you to count the total number of infantry officers you served immediately with. Whatever the number, compared to the thousands of officers serving during your enlistment, is your categorization of officer carelessness towards wasting a soldier’s time based on personal experience or more akin to the barracks ‘scuttlebutt’ forming from the ‘love/hate’ and different role relationship. LtCol Y.R. USMC(Ret), 0302/9962.

  5753. Yo 2 mins in there's a wild ass cut between videos. I was really looking forward to that joke!
    2
  5754. Hey cappy....i have to admit that I'm becoming addictive to your videos. Even in tight schedule , i never let your video unwatched.
    2
  5755. Great video Cappy but lose the hair stylist. You look like a JO fighter pilot with a nicely trimmed beard, hair do and eyebrows. 🤔😁
    2
  5756. "using economic or political power to hurt a country without firing a shot" - so just normal country relations when they're not at war? What? this definition is meaningless except for riling people up. By this definition China and USA are at war already. In fact, America would be at war with like half the world if that's the definition. How much actual warfare does hybrid warfare entail?
    2
  5757. A waterproof stryker... you mean an LAV? yeah, we already have those. Sure it can't swim 100 miles, it's meant more for fording rivers than beach landings. But I think it would make a lot more sense to improve the LAV-25 rather than design an entirely new vehicle. Additionally, the LAV-25 is extremely land capable.

  5758. Old retired officers are just as much impotent now as before.

  5762. I have no idea why it bugs me so much but hearing someone say "Thirty three eight" instead of "Three thirty eight" or "Three three eight" just grinds my gears lol. Not trying to be rude or anything guess it's just a strange way to say .338 Love the video and first time finding your channel and have now subscribed.
    2
  5763.  @Taskandpurpose  My wife is aware of the 19D vs 11B rivalry. I was listening to your video on speaker when you stated "if you squint hard enough with NVGs Cav Scouts look like Infantry. She almost spit her drink out! Thanks for the awesome vids!

  5764. You, sir, are HASHTAG FAKE NEWS! I can tell you, for a FACT, that our rifles do not use crayons in lieu of brass (5:30). If they did, I'd be the first in line for police call! NOM NOM NOM!!

  5791. Unfortunately you repeatedly refer to Lockheed as Lockheed Martin around the first and second world wars. The company was not merged with Martin Marietta to form Lockheed Martin until 1995.
    2
  5792. As expected this is a video trying to shift blame for overstaying in the ME and ineffective tactics away from the politicians and generals to groups that are easier to blame like defense contractors. It makes no sense to blame the people who make the weapons when the people who order and use those weapons can't be bothered to use them right in the first place then blame the maker for making the wrong weapon and then in the same breath ask them to make a new one. At the end of the day its the failed doctrines and political agendas like "Hearts and Minds" that are to blame not "Evil greedy company trying to make more money." because after all even when the war ends the military is still going to be ordering new equipment anyway to retool for the next enemy.

  5796. Its fashionable to complain about the industrial military complex, but I never hear about people complaining about the survival rate of Abrams vs T72 tank crews. Neither do I hear people complain about the 100:0 kill ratio of the F15. People loved to complain about the billions spent and lobbying of the defense industry, but I don’t hear one fucking peep about the TRILLIONS spent and lobbying done by the medical industrial complex. Those people in the medical and associated insurance fields are the biggest damn crooks in the nation.
    2
  5797. Thanks Cappy. Donated 'over 26 mil each year' - put it this way: they "reported fourth quarter 2021 net sales of $17.7 billion" thats just Q4 = be interesting to see how 2022 and 2023 looks for them

  5798. Eisenhower was right, we need defense contractors but we need to keep an eye on them. I trust the contractors more than the politicians.

  5800. 3 million isn't much. I did some research and estimated that when I was in Vietnam in 1967 our side was shooting over 1 million rounds of 105mm, 155mm, 175mm, and 203mm(8 inches) a week. This doesn't include naval guns. So, America if it wants to can produce considerably more rounds than Russia will ever be capable of doing.

  5801. The secret service failed. That was so close. Inexcusable! Cappy, love the channel.

  5804. When the army tries to develop something,.. they mess it up, well yeah maybe. When FN Herstal develops something tho. They usually don't. Its an FN Herstal developed weapon. The US has bought the rights and knowhow from the Belgians to build it at home.
    2
  5805. OK now I will never fuck around with Belgians
    2
  5806. I subbed!
    2
  5807. Honestly hate those people who try to say rifles aren't guns. It's literally retarded. "Rifle", is just a subcategory of "gun", so are canons and artillery. A gun is just something that uses pressure inside a tube to launch a projectile from one end.
    2
  5808. For telling the truth
    2
  5809. The term "technical" for those pick-up trucks was because US forces in Somalia paid money to different gangs. Bribes, or protection money, or whatever. But officially, the money was for "technical assistance". At least that's the way I heard it.

  5810. Cool! I'm going to get one for my Prius.

  5817. Are you sure Erik already left FSG? Last I checked he still hasn't divested himself from the company. We use FSG-trained security for some projects and they still think Erik's their boss.

  5818. 10:45 Is it any different compared to what US NSA was (and probably, is) doing? Looks like they are learning from the best.

  5820. Chris we ARE in a recession there's no ifs, ands, or butts about it doesn't matter what the government says just look at the negative GDP growth and remember no matter how many times they change the definition it's still negative GDP growth for two consecutive quarters
    2
  5821. I was in blackwater back in 2006. Which black water is considered academy now. you hafe to have private security in some parts of the world cuz you can't have military protecting companies in our country. that Is considered as a military operation that pays good the risk is high but the job has to be done does your bank have security guards they're protecting their money same way if you're in a bad part of town or any other country. Most countries have private security in them United States has multiple

  5823. this Channel's content is FBI raid worthy great video! you need to install a large red button in your living room table that erases all your drives XD
    2
  5824. Feel free to look for our own sources? Info about China is hard to come by because it’s either CCP propaganda or Western narrative pushing. If there were more fine work like your videos out there, I’d go check. You really ought to make your audio quality consistent, though. It gets distracting.
    2
  5825. How many in Australia?
    2
  5826. Awesome again Chris, now do the USA, or have you done that yet?
    2
  5827. Great video! Thank you very much.
    2
  5828. DUTCH ARMY NEXT?
    2
  5829. I don't like the background music. It's very distracting. If you are going to have background music, it should be at a lower volume and have a slower tempo. Think of elevator music. Yes, I've watched many dozens of your videos. Your current background music sounds like noise akin to pulling up at a stoplight and hearing rap music from the car next to yours.

  5835. 0:06 From what I read of that news in the video and mandarin version I found online, it is just Green Beret will stationed in Taiwan's two different Special Forces base to support training. One of the special force is Amphibious Recon and Patrol unit and they have bases in Penghu and Kinmen. Just FYI some people call UDN "United Heavy Industry" for how much they "manufacture" news: from poorly sourced news article (copying and pasting quotes from social media posts that aren't fact checked), to extremely clickbaiting titles, to radically KMT leaning that people can almost see CCP in between the lines. IIRC Philippine is also building a permanent US base, along with Japan, and strengthening Taiwan's military with US military training, it would essentially strengthen the first island chain without stepping over China's red line. Although, let's not forget Russian's proverb "China's Final Warning"

  5869. "What a tangled web we weave." (Shakespeare) Reminded me of something that happened to me in Armor Officer Basic. We were sitting on top of the tank waiting for our turn to take it down range and we were talking with the Instructor/Controller (a Sergeant) about what makes a good Platoon Leader. At what I thought was an appropriate time I quoted , "Heavy hangs the head that bears a crown." (Shakespeare) Everyone stopped talking, looked at me, and their jaws dropped. After some awkward silence the Sergeant says, "Sir, don't say that stuff in front of your Platoon. They'll think you're weird." So, no Shakespeare in front of the Platoon.

  5878. So basically the stryker is the fucking IFV version of the humvee, quick travel, quick to ship, and not really designed for front line combat and armored (or lacking thereof) accordingly? Ffs... Why we cant just do the IDF thing and say "Fuck it" and make a 60 ton IFV/APC. To hell with the ability to "ship it easily". Just build a shit load and stage'em around europe in advance. I mean fuck we already do that with freaking nukes! We cant do the same with some damn extra large APC's in order to protect our soldiers properly?

  5879. I like your video

  5880. The reason full auto is the first setting is actually probably the opposite of what you stated. For the AK they put full auto as the middle selector seeing because under stress you would probably end up pushing the selector all the way down. The Soviets didn’t want conscripts immediately going into full auto so they put it in the middle. This isn’t that much of an issue on an AR because the selector has to be flipped 180 degrees to get to full auto. I would assume the Chinese are probably doing that to stick with the old Soviet manual of arms.

  5888. I think the IFV's should carry a bunch of stuff like drones, and portable remotely operated turrets and sensors. Also those vertical launch systems on the ships are pretty cool, why can't our IFV's have one of those for ATGM's, cruise missile interceptors, and anti-helicopter missiles? Might as well make it a mortar as well.
    2
  5889. 10km remote control is miserable. My 25$ walky talky goes further than that.

  5890. It would be a knee jerk reaction to replace the already highly proven Bradley system. I feel that the Bradley could still be upgraded for the interim period till 2030 while a domestic company is able to develop a whole new platform that will be the true successor to the Bradley in every way. IFVs seriously doesn't need 42 tons ot near 50 tons like the Lynx. Even with the heavier armor and increased size, these larger MBT like IFVs are a bigger sight picture and most of all, still lacking armor to be relevant on the battlefield where even a 105mm medium gun from an anti tank wheeled destroyer will easily knock out the entire crew and the infantry on board from the front, from 2-3km away. Infantry in the modern era as well, are all well equipped with top down strike capable ATGM which are portable and can penetrate on the average 700mm and above. A top down strike means that the IFV will have no chance even with active protection system as they do not cover that arc of attack on their weakest point. If the APS is able to do that, that places the surrounding supporting mechanized infantry in grave danger as those shrapnel is going to maim and kill them, defeating the purpose of safely using such a technology. Instead, a lighter 20 ton to 30 ton replacement should be sought after, one that is able to back up the Abrams and the future MBTs, one that can be manufactured in mass numbers for overwhelming support that defines quantity and quality to bamboozle enemy formations. One that can mount that 50mm system alongside with multiple general purpose machine guns and a large stowage for ATGMs against the hardest targets. Speed should be essence, so weight should drop, APS is needed against some ATGM and RPG/handheld AT weapons, sufficient protection against 20-30mm fire with ERA. Lastly, enough space for 7 troops in the rear. The turret should be fully unmanned, implementing an autoloading system. Separate variants that will have 40-50 ton will be the "unmanned" break out IFVs that will lead the charge taking on the enemy head on like robots should. The manned lighter versions will follow behind to follow up and provide that infantry deployment and superior fire support for the breakout unmanned IFVs. Instead of wasting multi billions of dollars on foreign, lightly innovated, heavy IFVs which really are soon to be obsolete by 2030, develop the next generation with creativity, industry and with a vision in mind. These to me aren't really solutions for the long term nor worthy successors to the highly proven Bradley platform

  5905. My cousin served 8 years on the frontlines in Afghanistan as a Navy Corpsman for the marines and his bestfriend was was a Marine that fought on his side for those same 8 years when they retired my cousin came home with absolutely no PTSD and was blowing fireworks up on the fourth like he did before he went in. But his friend came back with severe PTSD. It's just so crazy that only one of them had problems after.

I say that because your video footage had a USMC 0-3 (Capt) on the range, ostensibly in N.E. Jordan. You said only AF/Army in Jordan. Which is it? Bad info, or stock footage? If it's the second, shame on you! I can understand being wrong, but stock military footage from someone who says they are Task and Purpose, give me a break! Your viewers (at least this one) know real from fake!

The BAH rate for NYC is ~$3500/mo (used to be $4k), and you can find 2br apartments for <$2k/mo- you and a roommate and you're each pocketing nearly two grand untaxable every month after expenses. CUNY schools are top notch (Colin Powell is a CUNY grad), and if you want to go Ivy League, Columbia has a fetish for vets and will walk you through the process of getting accepted.

  5972. 8:37 being Lazy? Zooming out a bit on the map, you will see, that the area captured during that period, in those areas, are negligible, or at least comparable to other periods of offensives during this war. Offensives by both parties even. Krasnohorivka (pre war population ~15K) is still heavily contested over 1 month after Russia entered its outskirts. I'd assume, that the fall of Avdiivka (~25km away) in February, was a bigger contributer to the general difficulties for Ukraine on that front. Side note: I've seen reporting a few days ago. That a General responsible for the Avdiivka front, is sacked and being investigated for being Pro-Russian. And having purposefully budged the defence of that city. I take this with a giant grain of salt. But if proven true. It might explain some of what we have seen on that front. No single weapons system is to blame for Russias recent "success". But rather each of their innovations/adaptations, along with the imployed strategy, including risk willingness (by both sides), target vectors, terrain type, and Ukraines uncertainty as to future US deliveries. All play a part in events on the battlefield. I'd personally argue that the disparity in artillery shells available to each party. Has been the biggest single factor in shaping the battlefield, during the past 6+ months. This based on historic casualty data, from the past 100+ years, and the possibly unreliable data from this current war. All saying that artillery is the primary killer in conventional war. I think most experts agree on 5:1 (ballpark), in favor of Russia, during that period. Second most important factor on the front line, is Ukraines lack of Air defence. Which is also a major factor in the strategic war.

  5990. I still don't get the practical difference between the stryker and the Bradley? Do they have different roles? Because it sounded very much like your stryker video, even more now that Bradley can carry a full squad. What's the point for having both?

  5992. Isnt having an IFV/APC be 'optionally manned' defeating the point of a vehicle that is supposed to carry men to battle?

  5994. LAR guy here, I wouldn't trust an LAV to swim to save my life. Those things are so leaky. Also the base armor is rated to .50 cal

  5997. So, who is in overall charge of security? Pretty sure the would be SS, regardless of who had the tactical responsibility of the mid-range threat area.

  5998. @taskandpurpose. I appreciate your desire to appear apolitical. Yet your content is reliant on the military industrial complex's continued relevance. Imagine a world where your family (and mine) had nothing to fear from old men seeking to weaponise young men for financial gain.

  5999. You made it a political video when you mentioned that the picture taken of Trump after the attempt with fist in air was A PHOTO OP??? That is absurd.

  6000. I wish you’d do the same for Dominos cheesy bread as you do for Dunkin Donuts. Years ago dominos has the best cheesy bread. It was soft with a little cheese and spices and was perfect with their cinnasticks. Then they decided that having a little of their crappy, gross cheese wasn’t enough and switched to stuffed cheesy bread only. Now it’s like a couple slices of bread between two of the largest, most disgusting, cheapest cheese and it’s awful. I’m still angry about it. Why would anyone prefer basically eating pounds of the cheapest cheese imaginable with a few bread crumbs. It used to be perfect. I won’t go into the loss of Reese’s bites two decades ago. They were divine chocolate pearls crapped out by the gods above as the only way to experience true grace and mercy on this planet. I don’t care how many children might have choked on them, they were perfect. They were the freaking same size as peanut m and m s and just barely smaller than the current Reese’s bites mini cups, but the spheres tasted orders of magnitude better. I don’t think any children were more likely to choke on those than anything else. Crap, I said I wouldn’t go into it.
