booksonwaraustr... These USA Vietnam War relics are located in an abandoned museum just inside the Citadel HUE Vietnam - actual location is shown at the start of the video. recommended a visit if you are visiting HUE.
I love how these vehicles are still in original condition from the war...so much more interesting and satisfying to look at .... unlike modern museums which tend to make them look clean and polished.
Went to this place for the first time in 1997. No other tourists and even no personell in the little museum nearby. It was so silent everywhere. You could take all the displayed weapons in your hands. AK's, pistols, granades. Off course I didn't take anything with me, but it would be easy at that time to take a nice souvenir back home. Twelve years later I came back with my wife and little kids. But Vietnam had changed a lot during those years... Greetings from Amsterdam.
They were revived from moyjballsbecause the jet aircraft of the time were too fast for accurate ground support. They streaked overhead so fast they could be certain of friendlier enemy locations!
@@charleschapman6810 Actually they were used because the payload they could carry and the loiter time.....both were a lot more than the jets were capable of.
Shows how fast the North swept in at the end of the war . Look at all the military hardware they captured. Such a stupid war. I mean no disrespect to veterans .Cheers
Thank you for sharing, very interesting. Americans taken some heavy equipment & serious fire power over to Vietnam during the war. It's a shame these relics have been left here to rot. Regards from Queensland, Australia.
Unfortunately, those US-made military assets displayed not just on Hue but in several museums in Vietnam were inaccurate, fictitious paint schemes representing USAF/USN and not the actual Southeast Asia (SEA) camouflage adopted by VNAF of former South Vietnam.
Yes painted back to possible US colours after the war. I may have been dreaming at the time. but one of the old hangers at Da Nang airport had US army painted trucks in it...still
Maybe you mean Cam Ranh international Airport to the south of Nha Trang. Like just about every other airport in south Vietnam it was built by the US. After Vietnam war it was used by Russia Air Force Soviets. Now it is like mini Russia, Nha Trang is hugely popular with Russian tourists - I think they come there to eat passion fruit....
Vietnam Laos and Cambodia together weren’t worth one American or French life. I was too little to join the protests. We needed to look the other way and let them eat communism like Venezuela. American contractors got rich and 58000 American families lost their brave men for nothing.
Mostly very nice little video, however... you pass right by the backbone of the RVN War, a UH-1/D or H model Huey. Also, the Skyraider was an A-1/D I believe, also, the Duster was actually ADA (air defense artillery), but used quite effectively against ground troops. No offense, just clarification. Nowadays, the wonderful Vietnamese youth secretly agree their parents and grandparents backed the wrong guy, Uncle Ho. Of course, he was with US after WWII... oh, and we did not lose the war, militarily, as General Giap said in his book, he thought they had lost after Tet, until he read the traitorous NY Times.History.
Yes as it has been said in the past, Its difficult to loose a war that the USA wasn't fighting...True there is still a South Vietnam..The communist doctrine no matter which country is not nice.
yes Tay Loc Strip is kind of still there it is a road. I have vid of that. Were u there? If so do you have any pics from the war that i can use for then and now vid?

i took a job for a few weeks and my coworkers were from all over the place. One man was a south Vietnam veteran, a very quite person. The stories he could tell, i bet
The US won. Read Operations Linebacker 1 and 2. The north vietnamese were on their knees ready to surrender after the air force was turned loose. Read it, I say, before you comment.
I've been there. The tour guides and displays all tell you how evil the US is and how great the communist party is. They have guest books there for people to sign, interesting to read all of the anti-American comments....yet, those same people who hate on America are quick to try for a vacation Visa to the US, they are quick to try and immigrate to the US....and every time there is a disaster, those countries are quick to call on the US for help. I felt sad for the South Vietnamese, they didn't want their country to turn communist. Many South Vietnamese were executed for fighting against communism during the war, many families killed simply because their relatives fought against the Chinese backed communist. Not saying US was right or wrong fighting there, the main intent was to stop communism, but politicians screwed that up and caused many young Americans to die. Just sad all around. Ho Chi Minh, or "Uncle Ho" , after who Saigon was renamed, was no hero.
@@TimothyCihal-pn7fm You must be a communist sympathizer. #1, invading armies come to conquer and stay. US began only as advisors to the S Vietnamese Army....then were asked to help in the fight.

@Loli4lyf You could not pay me to return to that place.
Well I did just that.
Most museums look after their displays, clearly not happening here. Nice vid.
1915oz..I like that they have left these unrestored. Your post was well edited with original footage.Great post
Mig 21 a good jet.. You can buy one in Poland ready to go for $150,000.
Sign me up! I’ll take two please
Holy shit
Unfortunately it costs about the same per year operating cost
Actually those are A-1 Skyraiders if I'm not mistaken. And they were a devastating weapon. Excellent for ground support.
They were revived from moyjballsbecause the jet aircraft of the time were too fast for accurate ground support. They streaked overhead so fast they could be certain of friendlier enemy locations!
AD- 6 = A-1Sky Raider designation later. A 1-H single seat, A-1E twin seats. Love the looks of A1-H and South VN pilots who flew them.
The A-1 Sky Raider don't have the correct color configuration for a US Navy plane They did have other designations in Korea and WWII.
@@charleschapman6810 Actually they were used because the payload they could carry and the loiter time.....both were a lot more than the jets were capable of.
Yes, their museums are clear, factual, and often bitter. The people of today are remarkably welcoming.
That war never should have happened
wrong
@Dan Diehl The vietnamese people are living freely because of their own country's choices, not america
Vietnamese used those captured M107s to hit targets deep in Cambodia during the early phase against the Khmer Rouge
@@yeah-7544 news for you, the people of Vietnam are NOT living freely.
No one lives "free" under communist dictators.
@@davidbrownell698 i will admit that they are not completely free (censored media), but vietnam is currently not a dictatorship
merci pour ces images qui me donne envie d allez voir de plus prêt
Shows how fast the North swept in at the end of the war . Look at all the military hardware they captured. Such a stupid war. I mean no disrespect to veterans .Cheers
All these weapons did not help. The USA still lost this wasteful devastating war. I feel so sorry for all those soldiets killed in that stupid war
Good historical video, sad though.
What a waste of good men and machine.

j t why do you say “ rot”?
I like the editing and narrative. Good job.
Can't imagine the discharge noise of that 175.

I remember the Vietnamese Air Force had a P-47 Thunder Bolt in the front of their academy in Nha Trang. I wonder what happened to that aircraft.

i read Charlie Co.,What Vietnam did to us...its a remarkable book
The first plane not are ad6 but are a1!
Now the Vietnamese are Friendly Never go & stay in their territory after any favor leave immediately don't repeat past
What favor?

Thats true but if you believe highly that there is a GOD, then those humans responsible are Burning in HELl
A 1 sky raider was one of best ground attack aircraft ever, Vietnam war proved it
Yes, for losing the war.
Wish I had the financial means to go and try to buy that Skyraider and dragonfly
Dragonfly is a real gasguzzler.

As a Vietnamese, I don’t really think the US lost, but certainly, the RVN lost the war.
We had a better look at the Huey here th-cam.com/video/90Gse0_2XoE/w-d-xo.html
Did you see anything left of the old airstrip that was located with-in the city..?
yes Tay Loc Strip is kind of still there it is a road. I have vid of that. Were u there? If so do you have any pics from the war that i can use for then and now vid?

HEAVY METAL !
I wonder if they memorialize the civilians in Hue who were buried alive by the NVA in 1968. Maybe they have one of the bulldozers on display.
There is a component of competition that is Evil . . . . and War contains all of that component.

Too bad they do not show the graves of 5,000 South Vietnamese officials who were executed by the NVA during TET.
Correct, all by Uncle Ho's buddies, fellow Commies.
das wright 🤣🤣🤣
Did these planes actually fly or just a dummy model
they are real
8:56 RPG hit?
Most likely.

Well, that's essentially what war is all about. People die and property is destroyed.
That's kinda the point of war. Wow!!
A war that should not have happened.
A war that should have been left to the vietnamese. They all loved ho chi Minh,so the country would have been unified with less bloodshed.
