German kit has turned out to be performing even better then the marketing. I expected heavy armour to do good, but AA systems like IRIS-T and Gepard also turned out to be performing extremely well. Same with artillery.
Will you also make a documentary about the Gepard? They prove to be the backbone of the Ukrainian AA-Forces against small drone strikes from Russia, especially against the small Iran Shahed-136/Geran-2 drones.
Hi there. The marder 1A3 has three decisive disadvantages. 1. The 20mm cannon and the coax machine gun are not stabilized and can therefore only be used in a stationary vehicle. If the gunner is well trained, firing from very slow speeds is also possible. 2. The Marder does not have a rangefinder. You have to estimate or determine the distances to the opponent and then set them manually. Ok for a defensive battle from positions because you can determine the distances from every position beforehand. However, this is not so suitable for the Ukrainian counteroffensive. A child of the Cold War, the Marder is designed for defense rather than offense. 3. The ready-to-fire ammunition supply of the 20mm cannon is not very high and re-ammunitioning the weapon takes some time. Reloading the machine gun must be done from outside the vehicle. Very disadvantageous in combat. So you have to move to a covered position every time. Greetings from Germany.
Number three is not correct, it has two belts ready to Fire: 450 AP/APDS and 800 HEI, that is compared to the most other IFV quiet a lot but of course you need that because the weapon is not stabilized. Also, it is very common to break the contact and resupply in a more secure position, you don't want to do this under Fire. The Turret MG could have a bigger Box for its ammo, 500 Rounds is fast spent, especially with the MG3.
@@nicocool7992 🤣🤣🤣in the only thing it chances is the amount of money russia loses per tank they lose. The armata has shit armor around the turret and still uses a carrousel
@@marijnnn4992 Weak turret armor? You're a clown, it has an unmanned turret, it only has a gun with external attachments, it doesn't need armor! At the same time, the gun is a quickly replaceable module on the T-14, if it gets damaged, then at the repair base they will replace it within 24 hours along with the goat part and there will be no need to take it to the manufacturer!
lol... i been in the 1A2, but we got the 1A3 later.... my platoon leader been caught by the local Police, driving 100kph on a public road with a 1A2! the 600hp you have during peace time, the engine is limited to the 600hp, war ready power is 750hp... it takes a little more diesel, but you get a nice boost!
I served on one... The Marder is way faster than this video makes out. We drove through the heath at around 45km/h if not more, cutting through shrubs and and mowing down young, 2m high Birch trees like a whirlwind. I'll never forget this ride. Winter was a bitch though, as the heating was always broken.
Thanks for the interesting and informative Report, but there is something misunderstood at Time 3:00 ...the Engine is sitting in the front of the IFV getting the crew more protected.
Interesting presentation, however I am tired of hyperbole "game changer" called out for every and any piece of western equipment. The same was said about the Bradley, and the Leo was expected to "demolish the Russians." The reality is different a bit. Small numbers of vehicles given to Ukraine and the huge delay in decision making to deliver them allowed Russians to deploy vast mine fields, dig in, and they hold the fort. Nothing what Ukrainians have shall be called a Game Changer. We need a reality check because our enemy switched into war economy, and is determined to make any form of sacrifice for their doomed aggression.
"3:08 ....The engine's efficiency and endurance provide the Marder with an operational range making it an asset in prolonged combat operations.".........Doesn't the Marder have it's engine up front? 😎
Ive always liked these old cold war German IFV's. They been around longer than the Bradley and really came at a time when the BMP was the only game in town. Before the Bradley got accepted the program for the US had a contender that looked very much like the Marder. An awesome IFV, Great vid.
This is a lot better than the Russian BMP and all the other personnel carriers combined this vehicle is designed to shoot and scoot and support the troops on the front line better than the Russian personnel carriers, sunset can afford Rivers it is a great addition to what Ukraine has, Russia has been trying to maneuver and I'll fight Ukraine for a while now, this will help Ukraine make sure that does not happen.
The things that it can't penetrate you don't want to fight anyway. 20mm is enough for everything that isn't a MBT. Don't forget that these machines always have to carry the ammunition, with 20mm you have way more shots and you have less weight due to the barrel size that you can use for the armor as example.
No real footage just Bundeswehr-Commercials and funny comics. Where is the answer: "Why Marder IFVs Are Being Effective in Ukraine" Not a single word from crews, actually using the Marder in combat...
At least those were far better than the Bradleys and Strykers as IFVs. CV 90s were the best, those were the next to. …The fates of those Marders? Don’t ask me
Germany is in the process of replacing Marder with Puma. The Good think about Marder is its heavy Armour. BMP are death traps so troops ride on top of them because its safer in case of a mine hit. BMP is worse than a German SdKfz 251 half track from WW2. Marder lacks air conditioning and a gyro stabilized gun. It's a fairly old design. . Even the first 50 CV-90 that Sweden gave to Ukraine lack stabilization.
SIgh. No, the Marder's no game changer. 400 CV-9040 3rd gen might be, but not really. There hasn't been a genuine game changer in military art since August 1945, and we're all better off if that genie stays in its bottle.
It's amazing to think that there's visual confirmation of Ukraine having already destroyed over 600 Russian BMP-2's and captured over 250 of them! They've also captured more than 60 BMP-3's. I don't think I've seen any Marders in action yet, but I'm sure they're proving their worth like the Bradleys.

In German Army a Marder is called an" Iron Pig " (Eisenschwein) because an upset pig is more dangerous than a lion

Will the 20mm cannon be enough?
for what you should ask. Kill armour? Nah. But that is what the milan is for. Kill infantry and light skinned vehicles? Yes of course.
@sanitoeter69aka.prokrastin18, ”lightskin”😂
that is what they are called. Light skinned is everything that is not designed to withstand ATGM or KE-Munitions.
can penetrate 49mm of steel, so enaugh for BMP1/2 and BTR.

Perfect against Drones.Use the Marder against Drones on the Battlefield
Not really perfect, there's no radard to track and aim the gun.
The machine gun is capable, but it is hard to hit such a small moving object at a distance.
