I am so glad they went to the Hybrid electric engine . Colonel Douglas Macgregor was right about the old gas guzzling Abrams . Now instead of 8 hours on a tank of gas , the tank can go 24 Hours straight. It’s heat source projection has been reduced as well
Other than the hybrid drivetrain, which in itself is nothing new, this tank really shows us nothing that other modern tanks don't already have. It still doesn't have active armour. And it is still a bit of a big pig that won't be able to use many roads or bridges on potential battlefields. And with all this 'high tech' equipment, it is bound to be the most expensive tank to date. Thus limiting the numbers available. And its firepower is still the same as the previous model, which brings it in well below some of its competitors. Perhaps they should head back to the drawing board.
How many tanks you know with hybrid diesel-electric engines? Zero? The reason is used the same shell is because that’s what NATO uses. It’s plentiful and can be used across different systems and is highly effective. I would go look into this tank a little more deeper before you spew your ignorance. And it is ignorant.
its interesting how the most advanced prototypes use a hybrid-electric drive. Shows you how forward thinking Porsche was. Of course now its technologically viable
It's going to fail during training and battlefield conditions... too complicated and outdated war doctrine. I can design a more simple tank and a more devastating war doctrine.
not a jet, but a turbine. And the consumption isnt as bad as many people make it out to be. And the Abrams isnt called whispering death for nothing - they are quite silent when the engine is operating. The start up is loud, but normal operating sound isnt that loud. But yes of course, as you say, it will be less thirsty and more silent and also the heat signature will be reduced, which is also great
130mm? Thats cute considering its a prototype tank, if by that we could just throw in the dozen Soviet next generation tanks developed in the late 80s with 152mm main guns.
@@SMGJohn There where just 2 serious russian atempts for a 152mm main gun: Object 292 and 195. And since 130mm will become NATOs follow up STANAG there is nothing to debate about.
@@AndyAttrition Its marginally better than the 125mm, so I have no idea why you even arguing about this, the reason for 130mm is the superior HE shell it can fire.
@@SMGJohn No, the messured pentration is about about 45-50% better than regular 120mm from an L41 Gun. The 130mm offers way superior pentration, with higher muzzle velocity and better range.
Showing pictures of Tiger 2 tanks while talking about Blitzkrieg is misleading. When the Tiger 2 was introduced, the (offensive strategy of) Blitzkrieg was no longer working, Germany was on the retreat and sacrificed mobility for utmost armour and firepower to fend of the endless onslaught of Shermans and especially T-34s.
The army is finally going to make a new M1A3 Abrams tank. the question is how much will they use the Abrams X platform and depends what the army wants in their specifications.
It's a technology demonstrator. GDLS mad it tomtake to military trade shows to be what they think maybe a future evolution of tanks. The US army didn't put out any contract to replace the M1A2. Not a production tank.
all those cameras all over the hull and turret are usless since tanks attract mud and dust like a do attracts fleas , If you flying across the deseert at high speed or over in Germany at one of the training grounds that tank will be covered in dust including those camera same goes for mud you hit one mud puddle at high speed again those camera will be covered in mud
Who edits this stuff? The engine is NOT a Cummings, but made by CUMMINS. Yeash, the company has only been around for 100+ years, you'd think they'd spell it right.
Listen guys every Tank has his weak points and power points,i love RUS just like US Tanks,nothing last forever,some longer some shorter,depends on what Tank it is,on the given situation,crew,they are all only killing machines on the battlefield that are replacable,some are better some not,there is no the BEST one only good ones,bad ones and middle good what else can i say,any way a great machine any way,no matter because it is US/NATO i love them all.Better they stand all together instead againd each other,maybe there is some more powerfull enemy outside that we even dont know and then we wil fight all together,for the humanity and that is what actually only counts.
Are these worth it any more when one goofball with a handheld launcher can take them out? Artillery, drones, armored vehicles and even air and missile attacks can destroy tanks. Russia has lost around 5000 tanks and gained what?
I fought a year and a half in Viet Nam dom dom - what war did you fight in? 200 tanks lost in Vietnam, and although somewhat effective with infantry support, the topography sure as hell, wasn't conducive to tank warfare. Perhaps you believe tank combat against terrorist in the center of large city would be more to your liking. I really have to laugh at your comments as I consider the 5000 Russian T72's lost, the offensive failures, and lack of captured land by the well trained Russians and their tanks.
@@bjrohner How exactly do you think the Russian offensive would have gone without tanks? My guess is that they would have over a million casualties trying to take the same amount of land after resorting to human wave tactics. You cannot take land with artillery and drones. What else would you use to advance into hostile territory? A truck? A plane? How well did that go for Russia?
Haha…look at all the anti US anything people try to cope. The most important thing that this tank brings to the table is that it will be crewed by AMERICANS. That alone roflstomps anything else.
So very tiring hearing Yanks boast untruths, the Swedish version of the german Lepard 2 tank is clearly better & on the Ukraine front line. Try looking around before boasting again.
You mean those shiny tanks the Ukrainians does not want to use, because they already lost a dozen Leopards already to Russian precision artillery fire?
Looks impressive , thanks for sharing this !

This is the correct response. Very unimpressive set of upgrades.

Lmao imagine destroying this thing with a $2000 dollar DJI drone armed with a $100 mortar.

Basically longer repair, harder maintance, more expensive and so on. US made another shitty tank only capable to fight camel riders in the desert
@@surgeon9039 its a technology demonstrator, not a fucking production type...
@@vitsobotka6268 so i am right, just a piece of crap
What i like about this tank is that it hybrid rather the jet engine they placed at the back..... Its now more silent and not a gas guzzler

I've built the DECU for this behemoth for 35 years.
Beeing Worlds deadliest is a bold statment when the the KF51 features a autoloaded 130mm cannon.

It looks so cool

This tank is great. Can it defend a southern border?

"setting a benchmark for Main Battletanks" that would be the KF51 Panther! "unrivaled Firepower" that goes to the Panther, too.
Why does the crew have Philippine flags?
yeah cool 😎

that tank looks littered with shot traps
Is "it's like the sprts car of tanks" really a quip? Possibly in america. Nowhere else though.
What company makes a cummings diesel
Nothing protecting tracks
No added armour on turret hatches
just shoot the cameras, at least they replaced that ridiculous jet engine
Damn I want one. Probably still have to go through that pain in the ass govt. tax stamp? 😊
The colour is a bit boring though. I'm not sure I'd buy one if it just came in gray. Camo would be nice.
Why is that the driver's are wearing patch seems like its a Philippine flag 😂
... the drivers* (plural, no apostrophe) are wearing a* patch that looks* like a Philippine flag?*
Where are the T14 ARMARTAs 🤔😁
They can't make them. They don't have an assembly line, they can't get western tech and chips, so they got to rely on the old stuff.
The deadliest new tank in the world that doesn't even exist yet 🤣
snipe off the cameras at top the crew is blind
Indeed worlds deadliest against 3rd world helpless countries.
all those cameras all over the hull and turret are usless since tanks attract mud and dust like a do attracts fleas , If you flying across the deseert at high speed or over in Germany at one of the training grounds that tank will be covered in dust including those camera same goes for mud you hit one mud puddle at high speed again those camera will be covered in mud

they could be in Ukraine but that would make to much sense
Can you please stop saying that this is the worlds best tank no it isn’t ok thanks
Blab blab game changer blab blab no money, no requirements no planning and no program. Just get over it. We can’t even get APS on the M-1s in Europe….

Try to fight a war without tanks and see how well it goes. You wont be able to launch offensive ground operations or take back any land.

we are seeing on the ukraine battlefield how americas so called elite weapons are fairing!!, not so elite!!!!.
Ukraine is not an elite military. They don’t even have air supremacy in their own country
Bro this thing gets taken out by a Lancet. Stop coping.
They'll have to change the queer color 😊
So it's like a gay electric tank? Where does one plug it in? Can one plug it into black lesbians?
