#tankmuseum #tanks #TANKFEST
Visited the Vienna War Museum in 2016. They didn't have tanks back then, but the collection and the building itself are amazing! Highly recommended to visit!
Bravo, Bovington! I was fortunate to have been able to attend TankFest 2019 last year; who knew the pandemic was coming? This is the next best thing, and I really enjoyed the virtual visits to the other military museums. I didn’t even know about the Royal Netherlands Military Museum and the Austrian Military Museum until I viewed this video; now I can add them to my bucket list. Thank you, Tank Museum!
Really gotta thank these guys for breaking up the whole show into bits for us who don't often have 3 hours to spare to watch it start to finish
These action clips of the tanks are an excellent addition to the tank chats. Well done!
Awesome Show Guys :)
Slight correction - Not the Canadian Defense Force but the "Canadian Armed Forces"
The most polite armed forces on earth.
@@wonderloaf Until they actually start fighting.
Canada never got rid of its tanks. It had been in the plans to replace our Leopard C-2's with a LAV-3 based vehicle armed with a 105mm cannon. But war in Afghanistan showed quite clearly that we still need them so about 20 German Leopard 2A6M's were rented from the Bundeswehr. Then a deal was struck with the Royal Netherland's Army to buy 80 Leopard 2A4's of which a number were converted to Leopard 2A4M CAN a special Canadianized version of the Leopard 2 that incorporated the shorter L44 120mm smooth bore cannon intended for battle in more built up area's as was found in the Panjwai district of Aghanistan. We also have a number of Leopard 2A6M CAN's intended more for tank on tank warfare and more for training we retained a number of you could say more plain Leopard 2A4's with Canadian modifications like machine guns, smoke grenade dischargers, radios, etc. Another small of Leopard 2's were purchased from Switzerland to be converted in to dedicated engineer and recovery variants like the Wisent which has an excavator boom and bucket, dozer blade, winching equipment, and I believe can be fitted with minefield breaching equipment. So in other words no the Canadian's in the end didn't give up on heavy armour......Thank Goodness!
He said the same thing in a Netflix documentary called Age Of Tanks.
And thank the lord for real tracks!
Excellent work, thanks for producing Online Tankfest.
Love the post-war Soviet tanks, especially when they're not armed and coming at you. For reference, 'glacé' means covered in sugar - not particularly useful for the front of a tank. 'Glacis' (pronounced 'glassis') refers to the sloping ramp placed in front of a fortification to deflect shot, subsequently adopted for the sloping front armour of a tank.
5:02 Always cheering for the home team!
Loved it thank you!
I loved this video, i've never been able to go to a tank fest, but in these tines this is a very good substitute, i recomended it to my armor fan friends
Thanks
Just started watching. Looking forward to the rest of the video
I like the continuity of design philosophy between Franz Ferdinand's windscreen, & the Australian AMX.
Thank you for the content
@5:02 'Australian here' We had Leopard AS1 as well. Just like Euro Vision, we get into everything that's good hahaha.
I’m about to go visit it on my holiday nearby! Hope it’s fun!
I must confess, I like tanks
I really enjoy tank videos,I am a HUGE fan of tanks😎😎😎😎😎
Awesome clip with the Abrams I hope you guys can acquire one someday!
Superb video!
Late 60's British-Leyland quality sucked? Who knew?
Recovering MG owner.
Thanks to nationalisation, the Unions and the Labour party...
As an owner of a 1966, new Mini, I can assure You I knew! It was a horribly produced car (The doors window frame missed a cm in reaching the cars side, the front window leaked at the rubberlist!) and my only, English car at all! I then bought a BMW 2002 and never looked back.

Which meant the workers could afford to live. Funny how management and capitalistic ownership always gets a pass.
@@markwilliams2620 The truth with BL is there is enough blame to go around, idiot unions encouraged by socialist groups and would strike over the size of the tea cups and thought that negligence to the point of sabotage would help anything, management who didn't have a clue about running anything related to the motor industry let alone the biggest car manufacturing entity in the world, then you have the government and the aristocrats they put in ultimate control (this caused issues for British Rail too). Who cancelled the promising projects by refusing to fund them, even with significant sums invested already and fast tracking the bad ideas even the designers had no faith in.
Hah that's a much more cleanly produced IS-3 than the one I saw in the Littlefield collection. No massive jagged edges.
Second, excellent film and commentary
Really cool to get all the different Tank musea in Europe and North America together like this! I know Russia has some really cool Tank collections (The Kubinka Tank Museum I think?) as well, I wonder if they'd be interested in some kind of participation in this.
Barred up when Centurion showed. Best looker ever. Tank porn.
is-3
is a smart tank
older 19K20C here. I was in the 2nd OSUT at Knox for 19K in MAR82. Our L7's were incredibly accurate paired w/ M1's computer. Just look at the CAT results after the M1 showed up.
I liked the Austrian tank, and yes I did think it was an AMX13.
Correction, IS-3 uses a 122mm cannon
Patton Tanks in the USA Model Numbers M-46, M-47, M-48 and M-60.
While not a "world class" museum, I recommend when in Southern California visiting the George S. Patton Museum off the Interstate 10 Freeway on the way to Palm Springs. If you are a tank nut, it's worth seeing.
And I would like to thank the tank Museum to sharing with us
The Centurions were the best in the world in the 50s and 60s IMO. And still my favourite tanks.
They had issues like all other designs of the time, there was no best tank.
Please make a video on German WWII tank production errors, such as producing heavy tanks (and too many types!) that were too expensive, too complicated and too costly and unable to cross certain bridges, as opposed to the strategy of producing more late model upgraded medium PzIVs and Panthers.
Also an associated topic might be a discussion of the anti-aircraft war and panzers, either anti-aircraft units accompanying panzer units and/or the consequences of the loss of air superiority.
Please can you get the conqueror out in the arena? If not can you do a tank chat about it?
IWM Duxford currently has a running Conqueror. How long they'll have it for is a different question....
GWorsfold yes I’ve seen this tank, I wonder if the Bovington one works though. It seems they neglect their conqueror and never mention it though
First! Very good show!!!
The Dutch tanks in service are technically speaking German tanks as they are owned by Germany and not by the Netherlands. They do have German crews mostly although mixed crews are a thing so far I understood. None of these tanks seem to have a full Dutch crew at all. Funniest thing is that the Dutch military doesn't seem to realize what a tank is and what a IFV type vehicle is as they called the CV-90 a tank while the Dutch variants are not even close to being a tank by definition. The Dutch CV-90's are IFV's by definition. They seem to have similar issues with aircraft and ships, they can't seem to train their own people to understand what they actually have in front of them. haha
Also it's the Netherlands, not Holland. Holland is either North-Holland province or South-Holland province, neither holds the museum. (Could also refer to a town in the US or one of many old forts or ships trough time)
Why would you say Canada got rid of our tanks? We have several armored regiments, what we got rid of was the Leo 1 because it was out dated and switched over to just Leo 2s. I know this because I was there when it happened. It's painful to say but what you guys are saying is pretty wrong :/
Wasn't the Centurion the first true MBT?
The German Leopard 1 used the same design philosophy as The Japanese Zero ! No armor but superior maneuverability ! 😉
In truth in 1967 I was driving the Leopard 1A2 when it was compulsory to do military service in Italy but it was not comparable to really paper-thin as the Japanese Zero and it was already beginning to upgrade it's armour when I left the army...
A pity you couldn't rope in Pucka.
Is that Austria of Latvia?
"Went from a VW Beetle to a Ferrari, as far as we were concerned"
If the Chieftain had so many reliability issues, which is pretty common for Ferraris as well, I wouldn't compare the VW Beetle, which was very reliable, with the Chieftain. That also means that comparing the Challenger with the Ferrari isn't saying much about the Challenger's reliability. Not a very good comparison, IMO...
Not a fan of "The Challenger". His reputation @ WG EU is somewhat less than sterling. Great idea for a video, thanks TTM!
Warthunder player know the Tiger 2 is in the Kategorie early 60s Tank.......
Soviet tanks are so elegant...
:)
Didn't you mean the IS family instead of the KV? The KV 1 and 2 were in production just before the war started.
You probably meant the IS1 (which was in very few numbers) and IS2 that was leading the charge in 1944/45
IS family is in fact a following of the KV family. At the time KV13 came out the designer Kliment Voroshilov got out of political favor of the circles surrounding Stalin. Therefore his 13th model with the redesigned turret became a predecessor of the first IS tank. Not even called IS -1. Because Soviet heavy tanks were built on kind of evolution schema you can see the parts of IS tanks taken straight from KV family. I wouldn't doubt that if not the politics the IS tanks would follow with the KV designation after Voroshilov name as the chief and most successful designer of those vehicles.
@@HanSolo__ I know that, but the point is that the two tank specifically mentioned (one in "few numbers" and the other "at the late war") seem to be the IS 1 and 2, and not the KV 1 and 2 which are completely different regardless whether you group then in the same family or not.
Excellent the Australian Army has spent $550,000 to buy 59 M1A1 Abrams. It's nice to think we have museum quality armoured vehicle exhibits rattling around flying the flag. I know it's for logistical commonality with the USA but against modern vehicles, I'm wondering if they're going to be literal death traps being 35yr old technology. I'm thinking that the Leopard 2 A7 may have been a better choice but it is what it is.🤷
There are a lot come to play here:
Politically speaking, Australia can't purchase a good tank with reasonable price from Russia without getting on the U.S nerve, because such action undermine the alliance between the two nations.
Economically speaking, M1A1 is the only reasonable tank to buy. Sure, its armor structure is quite old for modern warfare, but it still has good fire power and good usability, but the most important thing is - it's cheap buying from the U.S. German Leopard 2A7 is the superior tank in many aspect, but it is way several times more expensive because Germany could not mass produce that many tanks to lower cost, same with the Japanese Type 90. The U.S on the other hand just spent 10-20 years at war in the Middle East, so they have a lot of surplus armored vehicles that can be purchased for a low price because shipping them back to the U.S is more expensive. Given that the U.S has its interest in Asia, and Australia being an ally in the region, the U.S is also more than happy to given an additional discount to strengthen its allies in the region.
On the topic of reliability, I don't know if comparing a Volks Wagon _Beetle_ to a Ferrari, and favouring the Ferrari is a good idea.
The Beetle's reliability and longevity are legendary.
Who told you Volkswagen Beetle is a reliable car? If it's not one of the last production types it is gonna be an absolute nightmare. Any old Beetle overheat constantly, and that's only an entrance to the world of issues and problems with this car. Ferrari may not be a good idea but considering how complicated and how capable the car is - it is definitely a reliable piece. In many cases, it's a racing car with regular service periods. While racing cars are ALWAYS stripped to the last part and put together before the next competition. Regular road-legal Ferraris are not. Consider this.
@@HanSolo__ Ferraris have a well earned reputation for spending a lot of time in workshops or standing next to the road waiting for a mechanic. Having owned several older models of VW Beetle (1200, 1203 and 1302) I don't recognise your "overheating constantly" claim.
I, pronounced as a J? The English worried the I was both a consonant and a verb. They put a tail on it like a y as it was sounded like a y but that tail on the y was let loose so the pronunciation followed that tail on the g. Hence where we get gesus as many others say yesus. History is so amazing.
What in the world are you talking about, Mark? The only thing I can guess is the beginning of the video when they are talking about the IS III tank, aka JS III. JS is for Josef Stalin (in English) and IS is for Iosef Stalin, more formally: Ioseb Besarionis dzе Jugashvili. That is why some sources use the "IS" instead of the "JS".
An L7 gun…I must be one of the few viewers who associates that with riot girl.
Get Wargamming to put the Chieftain in World of Tanks! I think they are afraid of it.
I doubt they'll go past that era.
15.25ish
Did he say calvery ?
Fun fact the "all American" M1A1 Abrams has a Rhinemetall (German) 120mm smoothbore cannon...
It also has British derived armour........
@@thewomble1509 the only part not made in the US is the cannon thats the fun fact
@@baastex its made in the US under license. Built at Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet, New York.
>uses American optics
>uses American tracks
>uses American suspension
>uses an American engine
>uses armor made in America
>uses American ammunition
>happens to have a modified serial production cannon that is used by all other NATO countries except Britain
(and is still _made_ in America)
"hurrrrr it's not all-American durr"
oh i wondered when the M1A1 would be brought up - Yanks get pissy when a tank video is posted and nobody mentions the M1A1 ( even if the video is about ww1 tanks or armoured cars .. that is how pathetic they are)
SOVIETSKY SOYUZ!!!!! A shame y'all didn't feature the BMP series, I'd say they've seen as more action than any other armored vehicle since the 1960s from Afghanistan '89 to Ukraine and Syria today.
The lasts clash between a Sherman's and german panzers was in the 6 day war
a pity too see the WOT logo everywhere these days
cant stand the ads
"All american"
shows M1 Abrams
ah, yes a very ONLY american tank *cough cough* L/44 *cough cough*
@@sch1ck the M256 is a modified license of the L/44.

"HAHA SEE IT'S NOT AMERICAN GUYS HAHAHAHA!"
@@bluntcabbage6042 the tracks a german. They use the Typ 570N or Typ 570 P3/P6.
Go TIGER or go home !
The Dutch army does NOT have tanks. The Dutch army supplies crews to man German tanks and pays for their maintenance. But the tanks are still owned and controlled by the Germans, placing Dutch troops under German operational command.
Boy, how is that for irony!!
Would help if you keep up with the footage...
