Rheinmetall is such a badass company, everything they build is top notch! All their AA & CWIS type guns are sick! Many of them with insanely high cyclic rates and boasting in house developed smart ammo! Their (heavy 6x6 type) military trucks are fantastic and their armored APC and/or other tracked vehicles are the latest and greatest, packed with new tech and sensors giving increased situational awareness on top of being highly survivable!

@@maxsokolov6536 Yeah, but thats because Germany dosn't need a strong army. With China Russia has a very agressive neighbour right next door. The neighbour that germany may have the worst relations to and that could be seen as most "agressive" (they "invaded" Lichtenstein several times on accident) is Switzerland... And Germanys true power isn't military, but finances and the economy, as well as a big influence in the EU. So we can cripple other economys simply by sanctioning said country. Germany needs it's army mainly to take part in Nato operations, and also as a fallback for the emergency services when stuff like the 2021 European floods happens.
To be clear, this truck is not just for Germany. If your a country with the necessary cash, chances are you can buy one (with a few exceptions of course). Sweden and Norway will probably have more of these than Germany. I think most European countries build great military equipment (aviation being the exception where the US simply dominates everything else out there).
As usual, a military truck really shines when the going stops all other trucks. From muddy dirt roads, thick dusty air and far temperature extremes. Stopping the odd projectile is icing on the cake

Italians in WW2 used gun trucks with devastating effect against Americans in the battle of Kasserine Pass North Africa. They mounted large caliber naval guns on trucks these guns were designed to penetrate ship turrets from a couple miles away so they made mincemeat of the Grants Shermans and Stuart tanks the GIs were using Totaly took away the advantage they had over the Italian tanks

@@maxsokolov6536 Germany has the Leopard 2, it can certainly call upon the USA who can offer similar things. Most of the vehicles Russia advertise are in small numbers or have a Western equivalent. But, the idea of a nuclear-powered torpedo is silly, just use an ICBM, it would cause nuclear war anyway. Lasers have multiple problems in warfare, its why the Chinese didn't bother. The Russians have capable systems we should respect and the West has capable systems that the Russians should respect. Also trucks for supplies are very important, as Russia has found.
This is so fucking incredible, like the technology behind these vehicles is amazing, but in my opinion i think its also sad that we put all of our potential of engeneering and creating new things, into weapons of mass death.
The trucks are made by a company, a company that develops heavy, mass produced military vehicles. You can't expect them..you know.. suddenly starts producing rice, eggs, solar panels.. environmentally friendly cars..
Yknow thosw trucks are mainly for resource transport and logistics right? It has the option for armament but they will mostly be used for logistics. I dont see where they are weapons of mass destruction...atleast compared to other shit like ICBMs, Bombers or even nukes which are real weapons of mass destruction.
I am really impressed! (if that's means anything to anyone) If you want wine, ask Frenchs. If you like good beer, ask Czechs, but if you need a good car just go to Germany. Simple as that.
No its not, nora buys MAN trucks for their b52 export vehicles to the middle east to carry their gun, thats all. The gun on the german truck may be also a 155mm gun...but dude its a german rheinmetall gun with rheinmetall targeting systems. Well and you know how it is with them german guns...they outperform anything else their is^^ even those proud americans put rheinmetall guns on their abrahams...
Don't say "MAN" . The name of this truck company is M.A.N. and means M= Mannheim, A= Augsburg , N= Nuremberg/ Nürnberg. After WW II these bases of truck factories were fusioned in one brand.
M.A.N., the feminists are really going to love this. This sounds like a commercial though- I wonder how much of this is actually true or just taken from it's website / own statements. It's all just buzzword talk. Or is it?
It's called M A N not man like in the Video. And the german word for "man" would be "Mann" so it only sounds like the gender if you say at as one word and ignore a spelling mistake. But true woke ones will hate it anyway.
@@bxy3900 Yeah, i know that, but you only know it as a german speaker and most people who hear/see the brand name internationally will still jump to the gendered meaning, despite it's fallacy as you pointed out.
If it can shoot and scout while moving this would be the weapon of the future for convoys. Imagine another trailer in the back with motion detecting machine guns that dont miss. Brap. brap. brap. brap. As it mows the flank attacks and attempts at supressive fire while the AT rockets are aimed.
All this requires HUUUUGGGEEE maintenance and sustainment packages from the manufacturer, and besides, we all know the future of war is drones. I'll be impressed if you build a drone launcher/carrier on that truck platform.
Drone warfare in europe is kind of. Meh. I may underestimate this but hear me out. Anti Air defence and manpads are mass to everyone in european armed forces. Rather than Armenia. Not having mass manpads to soldiers. Is a defenceless ground soldier.
@@doctorchaotic3415 Even private citizen can build super small and cheap camera-drones already. Now give them little bombs and some clever mechanism to automatically fly and search targets (which might be a challenge, sure) and you can create swarms of little drones which will explode. The technology is there already and will only improve. Classic Anti Air is not working against that.
In 5 years drones will be shot out of the sky like a flock of birds. The AAA systems already available will be much better and drones will have no future.the future for tanks and first line vehicles will also change.
It is pronounced M.A.N. ( Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg) and NOT man. It is really not that hard, is it? Your video is really excellently researched and very informative apart from this "glitch".
I mean, a lot of abbreviated names, at least in the US can be or are designed to be easily called as a word of some sort instead of having to spell every letter. I mean, MANPADS/MPADS exist and most I heard just say it like a word, not individually.
That's just how acronyms work in English. If the first letters of each word spell out something comprehensible, we say that for convenience. Does German not have acronyms? Seems rather unwieldy to say 9 syllables rather than 1 every time you want to refer to that company.
This is like SISU trucks that are under the Patria group. It has also its own equipment like a mortar system rapid-deploy stationary platform with high-speed fire capabilities, which can be used also on a transport truck and in movement cause its aiming capabilities. There is an AMOS system with Autoloading 2 pipe Mortar that also has straight fire capability and NEMO one Single fire loader mortar straight fire capability.
When Germany tests a new weapon or something related to the army, we in Poland are looking for new technologies to build shelters, defensive fortifications or anything to defend ...

Rheinmetall is such a badass company, everything they build is top notch! All their AA & CWIS type guns are sick! Many of them with insanely high cyclic rates and boasting in house developed smart ammo! Their (heavy 6x6 type) military trucks are fantastic and their armored APC and/or other tracked vehicles are the latest and greatest, packed with new tech and sensors giving increased situational awareness on top of being highly survivable!
It's a huge contrast in quality between the German military manufacturers and the German army. The one has sick weapons, the others feel lucky if some weapons at least work in any kind of way.
You sound like you're one of their premium customers lol.
@@andrekoniger3020 idk if my pickup truck could handle a Skyranger bed mounted but I'd be willing to give it a shot! Lol, I'm no customer but I work in a very similar field and I'm extremely impressed and admire the products they bring to market! The performance and quality of their hardware (and software) is second to none IMHO and I wish the US military or US Navy would look into these systems they offer cause I feel they're superior!
Erstklassiger Truck! Made in Germany!
German Quality is good.. 👌
Great ! Because you don’t start wars do you ?
After watching this video, i ordered 5000 of those trucks for my private military that i keep in my closet xD
gues who gets this thing:
Thats right ANYONE other than the Bundeswehr
Really? A country that spends only less than 1% of GDP still can afford German products but never Germany itself? 2% of GDP isn't that big and it could afford nearly a thousand of these.
What does Russia advertise? New fighters (Su-35, Su-57, Su-75), tanks (T-90MS, T-14), helicopters (Mi28NM), Air defense systems (S-400, S-500), Drones (Altius, Altair, Hunter), Hypersonic missiles (Dagger, Zircon), Underwater drones with a nuclear reactor (Poseidon), Combat laser (Peresvet) and much more.

When there are no new weapons developments, it remains only to advertise trucks
@@maxsokolov6536 You did write that under every comment, didn't you?
@@louistostmann2049 Not true, not under all. Under five comments, approximately.
@@maxsokolov6536 Yeah, but thats because Germany dosn't need a strong army. With China Russia has a very agressive neighbour right next door. The neighbour that germany may have the worst relations to and that could be seen as most "agressive" (they "invaded" Lichtenstein several times on accident) is Switzerland... And Germanys true power isn't military, but finances and the economy, as well as a big influence in the EU. So we can cripple other economys simply by sanctioning said country.
Germany needs it's army mainly to take part in Nato operations, and also as a fallback for the emergency services when stuff like the 2021 European floods happens.
MAN рулит, привет из 🇩🇪 Бавария.
Germany on it's way to become one of the big ones again, and this time it's on the side Europe
On it's way? Already there
be careful what you wish for....
To be clear, this truck is not just for Germany. If your a country with the necessary cash, chances are you can buy one (with a few exceptions of course). Sweden and Norway will probably have more of these than Germany. I think most European countries build great military equipment (aviation being the exception where the US simply dominates everything else out there).
it is not spoken man , it is spoken M. A. N. !
A yes. I love my Environment friendly Artillery
Maybe the bombs have seeds in them to plant some new trees and wreck the enemies in one go.
Standard camo AND additional 'stealthmode'. Good luck finding your truck back.
One of The Best Military Truck
👍😎
U mean the best?
Also the most handsome truck ! LOL haha 😀😀😀
THE best...!
What amazing products Rheinmetall comes up with!!
In Germany we call it "Stolz"
As usual, a military truck really shines when the going stops all other trucks. From muddy dirt roads, thick dusty air and far temperature extremes. Stopping the odd projectile is icing on the cake
Environmentally Friendly SPAG: Because we value trees more than humans.
That's unironically the most German thing 😂
Human kill Earth .... Tree's dont ... so what should we prefer? ;)
@@Butzelbatzer there ya go !!!! He's German for sure !!!!
you use wargame red dragon music? :D
I know this is nitpicking, but it's MAN (each character pronounced alone), short for "Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg". Not "man" ;) Otherwise a very good and informative video!
Danke, hat mich auch das gesamte Video über gestört :D
Most 'Mericans barely speak English much less German, cut them some slack.
@@DiogenesOfCa when somebody did enough research to put 10 minutes of video together, I can expect the decency to pronounce names correctly 😉
Nur in Deutschland wird MAN einzeln ausgesprochen. Im Ausland, egal welche Sprache höre ich immer wieder „man”. Lass es so sein, denn wir sprechen auch vieles komplett verkehrt aus
Since Germany has some powerful weapon now, we have to tell art schools not to reject any kid with anger issues and kids who want a greater german militarily
Your profile pic fits perfect to your statement 😂
As seen, it not needs a wanabe Art Student. A Unsuccesfull Manager with a TV Show promoting him is also fitting.
But only Austrian art students xD
German engineering will stay impressive
i could see this being used in middle east and other locations where light armor and IEDs are a issue and regular trucks are too weakly defended. with a weapon station on top it could be used to supply dangerious locations

@@maxsokolov6536 Exempt the AA-systems, half the stuff you just listed is 20 to 30 years old, or based on commonly known technology, the other half (drones, lasers and hypersonic missiles) were never used in combat bevor and are not much more than prototypes and fancy toys to put on parade and in adverts.
@@louistostmann2049 You are talking nonsense for the sake of your calm )))
@@louistostmann2049 Which of them?
The oldest of all here
Su-35 - 2008
Their drones have been used and tested in Syria.
Where do you see prototypes here? (Except drones Altius, Altair and Hunter) Where?
Russia has an Orion UAV. We are talking only about attack UAVs.
In terms of the number of reconnaissance UAVs, Russia ranks third in the world (after Israel and US).
T-90M are in Crimea. They were put into mass production a month ago. T-90MS is produced for export.
Crews are trained on T-14 tanks. An experimental batch of tanks is being tested in the army.
Earlier, experimental lots of Zircons and Kinzhal's were purchased (planes with Kinzhal's were also in Syria).
These missiles are now in service.
Today:
The Russian Defense Ministry signed a contract for the supply of Kinzhal and Zircon missiles after the Army 2021 forum.
Where are the prototypes ?! What 20-30 years are you talking about?
Attack helicopters Ka-52M
"Shturm" systems (allow transferring T-72B3M tanks into unmanned mode).
Koalitsiya-SV artillery systems (with a record firing range of 80 km).
Unmanned systems Uran-9.
And a large variety of the latest weapons, starting with ambulance MRAPs "Linza", ending with the ADS S-500 and electronic warfare systems..
All this was purchased (and contracts were signed) by the Russian Ministry of Defense after the Army-2021 forum.
In Russia, there is a prescription according to which equipment, vehicles.. are tested in the army for several years, and after that purchase contracts are concluded and its mass production begins.
@@maxsokolov6536 You are talking nonsense for destabilization.
The "Peresvet" systems were never purchased.
Helicopters Mi28NM too ...
Moooooooom, the Germans are doing that thing again!
I'm german,u made me smile.
Was going to buy one but it turns out the website doesn't have a Buy Now button.
Germany: build a new Military Weapon
The China: we will copy that one
But it's German engineering tho, plus China known for making slightly cheaper version's than the one's they copy.
Yeah, that was 18 years ago but now they go to space and Germans are still low on the ground!
@@nedzadkaradag763 Airbus Space in Germany builds Spacecraft constantly. If Germany wanted it could go to space - it’s just they don’t need to because they can get German astronauts into space with foreign vehicles.
@@nedzadkaradag763 What kind of bull***t comes out of your moth. The upcoming moon missions and the webb telescope wouldnt be possible without germany. The Web telescope was launced by a german european development- the ariane rocket. The orion capsule which will be used for the moon missions is powered by the esm - european sevice module. Built and developed in germany.
Please think twice before you want to crush germans/german engineering and read about the technological background of all the stuff you think germany is not capable to do
Replying to Samuel Pernites If China is going to copy not to worry We will build a big cannon that fires backwards Lets see if they copy that
environmentally friendly and military technology in one sentence
😂 you are just on the edge of the seat waiting for them to drop in "humanely" somewhere 👍😂
Si por mí fuera siempre siempre apostaría por la industria militar de Alemania .
Si señor.
Son muy buenos 👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸👍👍
Nice ...prepare for seeing this in our streets here in Germany soon ...
Did the Bundeswehr order them already? :O
MAN i love this truck. Let it Rhein Metall 😉
These are some badass trucks
Looks badass.
Uh oh I think Germany is trying world domination for a third time
That would be the 4th time. The "third reich" was called that way for a reason.
Oh my goodness! Now i have to choose between Oshkosh and M.A.N. trucks for my private army. 🤔🤔
The 56th FA COM got rid of their Oshkosh HEMTT for the Pershing II in the early 80s and replaced 'em with the ancestor of this MAN truck, namely the M1001, M1002, M1013 and M1014.
Just split your order
germans have the best machine in the world, its sad that too many scientists probably died back then and too much moral and knowledge lost
Id like to order some of these for my cargo hauling services soon 😄
Just to let you know: MAN is not spoken as a word, it is more spoken as 3 letters in German, like M.A.N. (from: Machinefactory Augsburg-Nuremberg).
in germany we say "Die Deutsche ingenieur Kunst"
Rheinmetall just flexing German tehnology and build quilty at the same time good to see it
Germans…❤️❤️
Ok! You got me. I'll take one!
Italians in WW2 used gun trucks with devastating effect against Americans in the battle of Kasserine Pass North Africa. They mounted large caliber naval guns on trucks these guns were designed to penetrate ship turrets from a couple miles away so they made mincemeat of the Grants Shermans and Stuart tanks the GIs were using Totaly took away the advantage they had over the Italian tanks
It's not Man it's M.A.N.
Say it with value, with attitude! One more time: M.A.N.
Best regards from Germany
Reminding me of the "IT'S MAM" Guy.
Los mejores camiones del mundo .
Y además el diseño , la presentación son preciosos y bellos .
Pedazo de producto y empresa .👍👍👍👏👏👏🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Proud to be working as an IT supporter for MAN Truck & Bus 😎
This is the future many armies choose platforms that can be used in many ways and wheeled so easy to maintain the of road capability today is more advanced so vehicles with tank tracks are left behind not to mention that today there are more roads and highways to use than 40 years ago.
Germans : We don't built tanks anymore! This is just a truck carrying a canon.
The truck's front part reminds me of the face of Transformer robot 😘
i could see it being used for one of those marvel movie as a bad guy escort vehicle like in deadpool 2...

@@maxsokolov6536 Germany has the Leopard 2, it can certainly call upon the USA who can offer similar things. Most of the vehicles Russia advertise are in small numbers or have a Western equivalent. But, the idea of a nuclear-powered torpedo is silly, just use an ICBM, it would cause nuclear war anyway. Lasers have multiple problems in warfare, its why the Chinese didn't bother.
The Russians have capable systems we should respect and the West has capable systems that the Russians should respect. Also trucks for supplies are very important, as Russia has found.
The Warthunder music in the background 😂
This is so fucking incredible, like the technology behind these vehicles is amazing, but in my opinion i think its also sad that we put all of our potential of engeneering and creating new things, into weapons of mass death.
The trucks are made by a company, a company that develops heavy, mass produced military vehicles. You can't expect them..you know.. suddenly starts producing rice, eggs, solar panels.. environmentally friendly cars..
Yknow thosw trucks are mainly for resource transport and logistics right? It has the option for armament but they will mostly be used for logistics. I dont see where they are weapons of mass destruction...atleast compared to other shit like ICBMs, Bombers or even nukes which are real weapons of mass destruction.
@@awacsrazgriz967 - Well said, dude !
I absolutely love this truck
germany the king weapon off war technology, imagine if germany win ww2 👍👍
Wow ! What a lovely thought ! You weirdo ! You didn’t !
I am really impressed! (if that's means anything to anyone) If you want wine, ask Frenchs. If you like good beer, ask Czechs, but if you need a good car just go to Germany. Simple as that.
You can get very good wine and beer in Germany, too. I mean, the Czech Pilsener beer was brewed by a German.
Their new self propelled howitzer based on this truck is just identical with Serbian NORA-B52...
No its not, nora buys MAN trucks for their b52 export vehicles to the middle east to carry their gun, thats all. The gun on the german truck may be also a 155mm gun...but dude its a german rheinmetall gun with rheinmetall targeting systems. Well and you know how it is with them german guns...they outperform anything else their is^^
even those proud americans put rheinmetall guns on their abrahams...
that's why i would rather be on german war technology.
Don't say "MAN" . The name of this truck company is M.A.N. and means M= Mannheim, A= Augsburg , N= Nuremberg/ Nürnberg. After WW II these bases of truck factories were fusioned in one brand.
M= Machinefactory not Mannheim
Diggi in monnem is der Benz Ned MAN.
Love the war thunder music in the background
He used some of War Thunder's OST at around 4:50
gonna buy one, nice review
BTW … The Name MAN stands for Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg AG and was founded in 1808 …
Oh yeee, environmentally friendly is big word here!
HOW MUCH IS ONE UNIT?
Much
More expensive than Ferrari
Okay I am sold. Shut up and take my money!
I choose the one with a howitzer equipped. Best choise for daily rush hour.
M.A.N., the feminists are really going to love this.
This sounds like a commercial though- I wonder how much of this is actually true or just taken from it's website / own statements.
It's all just buzzword talk.
Or is it?
have you forgoten what the Volvo logo looks like *wink wink*
It's called M A N not man like in the Video. And the german word for "man" would be "Mann" so it only sounds like the gender if you say at as one word and ignore a spelling mistake. But true woke ones will hate it anyway.
@@bxy3900 Yeah, i know that, but you only know it as a german speaker and most people who hear/see the brand name internationally will still jump to the gendered meaning, despite it's fallacy as you pointed out.
If it can shoot and scout while moving this would be the weapon of the future for convoys. Imagine another trailer in the back with motion detecting machine guns that dont miss. Brap. brap. brap. brap. As it mows the flank attacks and attempts at supressive fire while the AT rockets are aimed.
💦
All this requires HUUUUGGGEEE maintenance and sustainment packages from the manufacturer, and besides, we all know the future of war is drones. I'll be impressed if you build a drone launcher/carrier on that truck platform.
Drone warfare in europe is kind of. Meh. I may underestimate this but hear me out. Anti Air defence and manpads are mass to everyone in european armed forces. Rather than Armenia. Not having mass manpads to soldiers. Is a defenceless ground soldier.
@@doctorchaotic3415 Even private citizen can build super small and cheap camera-drones already. Now give them little bombs and some clever mechanism to automatically fly and search targets (which might be a challenge, sure) and you can create swarms of little drones which will explode. The technology is there already and will only improve. Classic Anti Air is not working against that.
bullshit.. drones do nothing when thers AA active as seen 2008
In 5 years drones will be shot out of the sky like a flock of birds. The AAA systems already available will be much better and drones will have no future.the future for tanks and first line vehicles will also change.
Call me back when the first drone picks up a filled ammunition container.
Thanks, I've been needing a user manual. It didn't come with one, and it has been gathering dust in my aircraft hanger with the F-35 I got from ebay
Damn you got an f35 on ebay? I only got a shitty p40 warhawk and some israeli mirage ripoff in my garage.
BlaBlaBla... it's a "how to talk thausands of words without say anythink" tutorial video.
love the war thunder music through out the video
Its a German M A N Truck
I love the commentator, really nice voice...
Germany still used flak guns to this and theyre still effective
Mantis system, right?
The video got me, I take 3 please, 2 with those howitzer cannons and one with the mantis air defense turret please
It is pronounced M.A.N. ( Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg) and NOT man. It is really not that hard, is it? Your video is really excellently researched and very informative apart from this "glitch".
I mean, a lot of abbreviated names, at least in the US can be or are designed to be easily called as a word of some sort instead of having to spell every letter. I mean, MANPADS/MPADS exist and most I heard just say it like a word, not individually.
Most of the time acronyms are read like words. The FN rifle SCAR is an acronym but people would just call it scar.
Yes yes, but who cares? Ist doch mega egal
That's just how acronyms work in English. If the first letters of each word spell out something comprehensible, we say that for convenience. Does German not have acronyms? Seems rather unwieldy to say 9 syllables rather than 1 every time you want to refer to that company.
@@NotUnymous Für dich vielleicht, aber längst nicht für jeden ;)
This is like SISU trucks that are under the Patria group. It has also its own equipment like a mortar system rapid-deploy stationary platform with high-speed fire capabilities, which can be used also on a transport truck and in movement cause its aiming capabilities. There is an AMOS system with Autoloading 2 pipe Mortar that also has straight fire capability and NEMO one Single fire loader mortar straight fire capability.
German technology 🔥🔥
im going to need a big bedside table for this thing
When Germany tests a new weapon or something related to the army, we in Poland are looking for new technologies to build shelters, defensive fortifications or anything to defend ...
I assume you are sarcastic :) As a german I am very sad being forced to watch hitler 2.0 in the far east murdering his way towards his revanchist geopolitic goals.
Greetings from germany, I have many great friends in poland
