  1.  @2ndsunrise_  Still what is it, 16k Humvees around? That's mighty expensive to replace them all. I can understand frontline vehicles being replaced by South African mineproof vehicles, but they might as well just leave the Humvee for 'behind the line's duties.

  2. Pressure from America and France! Who didn't want it to compete with the Tiger
    35
  3. ... not to mention that the F-35 doesn't even have the range to fly from Sydney to Perth lol.
    33
  4. Well, Australia would have this fighter, except there was some corruption/disinformation involved which saw us go with the F-35 instead... Which is a bad move, as Australia's most critical role was for a maritime strike aircraft, which the f 35 fails at.

  5. Could you do one on it's more experienced cousin, The Eland, from South Africa? Which saw almost constant war from 75 - late 80's.
    20
  6.  @CaesarCassius  wrong. Russia refused to share sensitive information with India, so they couldn't even come to that conclusion of the hey wanted to
    16
  7. @AegisEgalitarianAnarchism • future exo skeletons will be a lot closer to the skin, slimmer, and basically resemble knee straps/weight training gear. All technology shrinks in size.
    14
  8.  @RealestSteve6969  And the Argentinians done all that with only 5 or so Exocets in their inventory when the war began. Argentina had orders for many more, but Britain pressured France into withholding the rest of the order.

  9.  Jonas Savimbi  you sure are a dummy. On YouTube we can now see your comment history. And it's clear you're a fckin troll, dipshit.
    14
  10. And the morons who put it in front line service really deserve to punishment. Of course they won't get it. But that sure caused many unecessary deaths.
    13
  11. How do you find these opening music tracks?
    13
  12. I wish Australia bought some B-1 bombers to replace our F-111's.

  13.  @usaisthebestiockdownpoiice816  Cringe

  14. You'll have to wait at least 15 years...

  15. And it's the gun on the Rooikat.
    9
  16.  @TheAngelobarker  and Rooikat. Why everyone forgeting that vehicle?
    9
  17. The T-90 has by FAR outperformed the Abrams in the Middle East over recent years.
    8
  18. Btw, on-top of the reference to South African military fighting a "naval war" on land, the Rooikat is actually fitted with a naval gun and ammunition!
    8
  19. Yeah, more naval content please.
    7
  20.  @alephkasai9384  it looks really stupid with that body hull, if it's not amphibious. Indonesian don't do design very well then.
    7
  21.  @vut_zarco  look at his name. He's a troll stirring up trouble.
    7
  22. I also disagree. Even in modern war, attacking aircraft often fly really low. For example, the Cuban attack on South African forces at the water project. Which happened just before SA fielded their AA-gun system, mounted on a Rooikat. That equipment would have saved the dam, and the course of the war.
    6
  23. Yes, and the Navy is regretting retiring the F-14 considering the short range of current fleet in regards to China... That they're making a stealth refuelling drone to give those hornet's some legs.
    6
  24.  @RhelrahneTheIdiot  This is what 'wargames' never take into consideration. Airfields will be the first target in a conventional war, and the Soviets had the upper hand, in that regard. Even today, it's still incredibly important for conventional war, and America is only now realising this, especially with limited airfields against any Chinese war.
    6
  25.  @fredriks5090  well, he is a bodybuilder...
    6
  26. What's the point of 130? Penetration has more to do with ammo than size of gun.
    5
  27.  @odinlindeberg4624  exactly. A shame Matsimus didn't talk about the logic here. Where would Marine tanks safely deploy anyway? To the north is Russia and North Korea, to the south is Vietnam... I can't see any of these nations accepting ship loads of tanks, tbh.
    5
  28. I miss when planes were made for a specific task. There's no more specialisation left in aircraft.
    5
  29. Perfect target for a Russian ballistic missile.
    5
  30. Let's not kid ourselves, it's because Australia is a trend setter and every other nation tries to keep up with us.

  31.  @Rose.Of.Hizaki  you're forgetting that batteries are advancing exponentially, whilst combustion engines peaked decades ago.
    4
  32.  @Rose.Of.Hizaki  the motors would likely be located in each wheel, on an electric tank. So it'd be quite easy to disperse heat
    4
  33.  @rps215  you can even look at modern American planes in Afghanistan. Most of them still fly with 1-4km of the ground.
    4
  34.  @jamesricker3997  wtf are you talking about? It can carry munitions internally
    4
  35.  @ece5925  How about that brown-water attack boat Sweden created, that carries Hellfires? Can't remembers it's name but it's awesome
    4
  36. Thanks for keeping up these reviews while I'm isolated Matsimus!

  37. Tanks will be useless at war in the Western Pacific. Sorry, but you'll have a lot of trouble landing tanks in any war against China - hence the move towards more mobile forces.
    3
  38.  @JohnRodriguesPhotographer  that was in the 40s...
    3
  39. It will be a massive boost in logostics,. Also for firefighters, having extra carry capacity/strength to move, lift or push obstacles aside will literally save lives.
    3
  40. Just googled them. I love those amped up, semi-stealth 4th generation fighters in anime. They have so much more character than clean sheet 5th gen fighters.
    3
  41.  @joshburke4083  True, Russia is a different story. Although, it's unlikely America would go to war with Russia directly, even if Russia invaded the Baltics, the war would probably be localised to that location. I don't think they'd try invade American homeland like Red Dawn haha. Was that the Clancy novel? My uncle works in Moscow for the consulate, doing anti espionage sometimes. He's met Putin once, I can only go off his info, but Russians love money just as much as Americans... Although I do agree they'd be more likely to use a nuke, especially a rogue general, as they're underpaid compared to the Kremlin politicians.

  42. Interesting. A Hovercraft dropping off armoured vehicles wiuld have more advantages also, especially speed.
    3
  43. This video was great. Never even knew navy guns could be interesting tbh.
    3
  44. The tracks make a vehicle almost impossible to have a V-hull. Any new vehicle would want mine protection, and that means dropping tracks for wheels.
    3
  45. Mirage 2000 or Mig-29 is the sexiest looking 4th gen jet.

  46.  @stephenallen4635  I was unaware that those who serve are in charge of procurement and geo strategy...
    2
  47.  @heinrichmirgrautsvordir6613  because soldiers already cost a fortune. So why not squeeze more productivity out of them?
    2
  48. Yes! I still don't understand what the JSTARS really does
    2
  49.  @joaovitorsilvagohl682  the Patlabor f-16s have thrust vectoring
    2
  50. Why is there water coming out of the gun @7:05?
    2
  51. It'll probably have a bias against me, for all the times I've smashed my controller in anger, and all the "indecent exposure" I've committed against it's fellow laptops.
    2
  52. @Van Aser that's the one. Perfect boat for littoral areas.
    2
  53.  @BeingFireRetardant  the littoral combat ships is the class, forget what the weapons were, but there's been back and forth argument about hellfire missiles to counter the swarm tactics I think
    2
  54.  @joshburke4083  That's not today's world, though. That's a strategy from 1991 - 2010. Current aircraft doctrine is about combating a resurgent Russia, and China. Hence the current panic to extend the ranges of jets operating from aircraft carriers - which have to operate well beyond the first island chain.
    2
  55. Everyone seems to forget the South African border war. Probably the perfect example of a modern war, and the usefulness or uselessness of modern armour. The most important method to battlefield success was artillery, not so much the tank. If $3 million buys a tank, why not train 30 special forces?
    2
  56.  @Boomkoko220  I mean when they're fully replaced from the Navy.
    2
  57. I like these strategy type video's. Would be cool to see a video on submarine warfare eg. Nuclear vs diesel subs, how sub warfare works, how effective it is etc.
    2
  58. Another good Huey scene is the one from Predator: "sexual tyrannosaurus" - with music blasting from the late Little Richie R.i.p

  59. Ugliest plane in the skies, imo.
    2
  60.  @TheArklyte  is it the same price? Do you have the numbers?
    2
  61.  @SonsOfLorgar  damn. Not Russian? Sometimes it's just better to not know the facts :(
    2
  62.  caRn  too bad you're dumb enough not to invest in battery tech.

  63. The sexy cousin of the super cobra.

  64.  @invertedv12powerhouse77  I swear I read Australia is going to sell Canada our first gen Hornet's...

  65. Anyone know why they all move so far back when firing? Thought it would shave off time if they hang around closer to the gun...
    1
  66.  @stephenallen4635  if they know more than me, but those at the very top know even 'more' than the grunts, then I know who's opinion I trust more.
    1
  67.  @sgoell75  a lot has changed since Vietnam mate.
    1
  68.  @sgoell75  I'm not saying tanks are obsolete. They're just not going to be used in the first weeks of combat against China. By the time they're needed, the he army will be ready to fill the heavy armoured role. Marines should be the tip of the spear, and that's what's these procurement changes are about.
    1
  69.  @sgoell75  ... Also, Matsimus forget to mention that the Marines will receive new equipment to replace the tanks, such as cruise missiles, anti-ship weapons and long range rockets - weapons which are much easier to hop from island to island.

  70.  @theimmortal4718  sorry, I don't understand the definition of warzone. If they're not deployed outside of America or European bases anymore, then my comment was incorrect
    1
  71.  @userjlj  I think that vehicle borrows very heavily from South Africa's bush war experience. Yes the Oshkosh is American, too bad the Saffas didn't patent V-hull technology
    1
  72.  @coolingdawn . That doesn't have anything to do with survivability. The Houthis would have destroyed them all the same, even with new mechanics and weaponry.

  73. Me too

  74. Thanks for uploading reviews more frequently

  75. I'm here, and yes, they got slaughtered by sandal-wearing mountain goats in Yemen.

  76. Lol the gun is shit. Used this in call of duty black ops and it had the wooorst recoil of any other gun

  77.  @FortuneZer0  wtf

  78. And tomato is pronounced "Tom-are-toe" not "Tom-are-toe"..

  79. I hope you're joking. Law should be the last thing for an ai to control.

  80. The Mig-29 looks like a beautiful swan from the side. It just has the nicest curves of any jet fighter.
    1
  81.  @Dimetropteryx  You must not like curvy woman. And curves =/= obese.
    1
  82. It mustn't be that easy, as America created an entire class and sub systems to counter swarm attacks, despite the OTO Malaria existing for the past 50 years.

  83. They're ugly. Not as ugly as the F-4, though... Eww, the Phantom is just hideous.
    1
  84. Unfortunately it's an ifv. The most boring of military equipment...

  85.  @jacobcook2276  idk there's just so many of them, and not an awful lot of difference between them

  86. I immediately reached for a box of tissues... 😏

  87. Am I completely incorrect, or did Rhodesia not use these during the bush war? Matsimus says they never saw conflict...
    1
  88.  @joshburke4083  I honestly don't think a war with China would come to nukes. Their government is so entangled with the economy, especially the generals, they'd probably surrender if the war was going bad.
    1
  89. I'm always getting this confused with South Africa's Eland.
    1
  90.  @danielmelake6198  Which airbase will the F-22 land at, once all the cruise missiles strike their precious, maintenance intensive storage facilities? In the Gulf, for example...
    1
  91. That's gotta be the ugliest tank ever
    1
  92. ... it's "nose" or whatever you call the part connected to the barrel, is hideous.
    1
  93. I've never understood why America doesn't offload the retired subs to allies, like Taiwan or something.
    1
  94.  @1quickster  and so did Australia, with the F-35. But it's a worse plane. And America expects our help in an Asian conflict. We won't have the edge without the F22, so America's policy of not exporting top technology will come back to bite them.
    1
  95.  @TimothySchulting  thos were brand new. The irony is that America always complains their allies don't "pull their weight", but then refuses to sell allies the best technology.
    1
  96. Matsimus! You promised more South African vehicles. The Olifant Tank, or Cheetah aircraft would be really interesting.
    1
  97. Egypt and Iraq used to operate strategic bombers. But now it's only USA, Russia and China.
    1
  98.  @willemvanderryst5203  I think the Rhodesians were the first to use diffracting on helicopter exhaust
    1
  99. Why did it cost more? It looks a lot older than the t72.
    1
  100.  @clouster75  I can't remember if this had night vision? Probably not. There's many factors that would add to their price tag, even if they are heading for scrap

  101. I'm quite certain he done one on electric tanks. Use the search feature

  102.  @THEGIPPER34  it will happen eventually.
