- These New Australia's Most Lethal Armored Vehicles Shocked Russia /
Australia has succeeded in wielding some of the most powerful weapons any military could boast of, from the most advanced main battle tanks on the ground to submarines underwater and missiles in the air that fly faster than a human can blink. And here’s only the first of them - the Australian Bushmaster, a lethal armored vehicle with a combo of an unbreakable defense and an unstoppable attack that’s enough to protect up to 10 soldiers for three days straight. And complementing this four-wheel-drive beast of a vehicle are several other weapons in the Australian arsenal that soon could win battles for the Australian military and its allies.

Dutch veteran here, and gratefull for Aussie's Bushmaster, saved my B-groups lives.
Aussie veteran here, you're more than welcome mate. Me dad's a nederlander :-)
Just an aussie citizen here, makes me proud to be Australian and our vehicles saved lives. Thank you both for your service.

Australia is the definition of quality over quantity
Turn it up
The most expensive variant includes extra thick titanium steel armored plates, and loud sirens to discourage drop bear attacks at night.
@Princess Daisy Wrong! We had and entire platoon of yanks walking around at night with their bayonets attached and rifles held vertically to fend off drop bears. Funny as hell to watch with NVGs
BUSHMASTER !!? Awesome Aussie machinery. Living in Christchurch NZ, I could do with a new work van. That way no Basterd will try'n pinch my tools. A real hardcore, opportunist deterrent.
Be a waste! you'd just put the sheep in it!
Yeah, they're not shaggin' wagons bro. 😂
There's always the added advantage of "no road rage." They can swear at you, smack even the cab windows, and you don't have to care. Also, only a complete idiot would try to cut you off in traffic
It would be on blocks in no time.
they should have sent a box of funnelweb spiders
Or the emu army?
Probably a few redbacks hiding out in dark corners of the Bushmasters ....
And a couple if drop bears.
How about an army of kangaroos those guys are really deadly they hit you want your dead
@@robertcamp9724 Geezus, drop bears? That's way too cruel. I'm sure drop bears are banned by a UN resolution or something, it'd be too brutal even for warfare.
Australia is such a great example of how a huge country (almost the size of USA excluding Alaska and the whole of Europe) that's also a continent itself with a tiny population (27 million) can excel in so many different fields and least of all military might - when you look at all those countries with a big population yet nothing much to offer. It shows you that it's not the number of people in your country such as China/Russia or other big populated nations but the actual people living in your country with a stable democratic government no matter how small a population you are is what really makes you a leader in innovation and might. I love my country and I am proud of our achievements for a young tiny populated land called AUSTRALIA....
Should research our Hypersonics too.. very top secret but because of Ray Stalker and his achievements with Scramjets i think we are ahead of any country with this tech..
Australian scramjet seems sucessful in HIFIRE tests and being put in to a drone and first flight is next year
Australian companies are starting to Manufacture Hypersonic materials and build rockets and missiles here in Australia for our programs so all is done in country.
@@nedkelly9688 I certainly will check out Hypersonic - Thanks Ned - Also have a look at Australia talks with USA after AUKUS alliance and the B-2 long range stealth bomber in NT that we are currently exercising and practicing how we can work with USA and playing war games to prepare - Now Australia is in talks of purchasing the most current stealth bomber B-21 and once we have those bad boys in our armor no country can dare touch us - check it up and I am excited about that also about our nuclear subs. I think we should also have long range missiles stationed up north and ready to hit any country from China to Russia - We must be untouchable and only our defense force that have the most current amour can deter any bastard nation that tries to attack.
@@Neo.Altair Here is a piece on our 2017 test..
US-Australia had a successful Mach 8 HiFire 4 hypersonic missile test last week
July 15, 2017 by Brian Wang
The US-Australia Hypersonic International Flight Research Experimentation (HiFIRE) program had at least one successful hypersonic flight at Woomera testing range in South Australia last week. A round of experiments concluded on 12 July, confirmed Australian defense minister Marise Payne.
UQ hypersonics researchers collaborated with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DST Group) and US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Boeing, and BAE Systems for test flights in July 2017. This vehicle is a free-flying hypersonic glider, designed to fly at Mach 8 (8000 km/hr). It is designed to separate from its rocket booster in space and perform controlled manoeuvres as it enters the atmosphere. The test flight was intended to enable learning about how to fly a hypersonic vehicle at high altitude.
BAE Systems Australia said in a statement that “the successful flight trial [was] the most complex of all HIFiRE flights conducted to date”.
The $54m joint initiative involves the US Air Force, Boeing, the Australian Department of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Group, BAE Systems Australia, and the University of Queensland.
@@Neo.Altair Yea search Kratos Dart AE .. is a American company building the drone body for the Australian company to put their scramjet in to... is building it for satelite re useable delivery vehicle.. but Department of defence and Australian Government say can be used in Military apps too.
@@Neo.Altair There is a heap info around.. the commercial part on the scramjet they act like it works.. saids 11 Atmosphere test and 1100 tests in a tunnel on the ground.. this is a bit on the drone
From Australian Defence site.
The project, titled ‘DART CMP Airframe - a reusable hypersonic platform’, is a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that can travel at hypersonic speeds up to Mach 12 (twelve times the speed of sound). It is powered by the SPARTAN hydrogen fuelled scramjet engine.
Scramjets take oxygen from the atmosphere, a fact that reportedly reduces weight by 60 per cent compared to rockets. The development of new high temperature composite materials in this project will enable DART CMP to be reusable, with zero CO2 emissions thanks to the green hydrogen fuel.
The project is expected to deliver a new sovereign manufacturing capability for high temperature oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composites.
The deliverables include a complete UAV airframe including composite aeroshell and aerodynamic control surfaces, flight avionics, and hydrogen fuel system.
Hypersonix Managing Director David Waterhouse said DART CMP is the composite version of the DART AE due for launch in 2023.
“AE stands for Additive Engineering and is the fully 3D printed version out of high temperature alloys that are already available in Australia,” Waterhouse said.
“The type of high temperature composites we require for DART CMP are currently not available here, therefore there is an urgent need to develop these materials in Australia.
“We are thankful that the government acknowledged this gap and responded with accepting our application. We can’t wait to have these materials ready in mid 2025.”
“And we are proud to support three PhD students with this project as well, we need more experts in this developing industry," Hypersonix CTO Michael Smart added.
The University of Southern Queensland’s Institute for Advanced Engineering and Space Sciences Executive Director Professor Peter Schubel said the CRC-P success was an exciting step for its ongoing collaboration with Hypersonix Launch Systems.
“The University of Southern Queensland is applying its research expertise in the field of hypersonics and future materials to help realise an innovative mission," Professor Schubel said.
“Our role in the project will be to develop and test the prototype ultra-high temperature composite material needed.
“Our expertise in liquid moulding technologies, automated fibre placement, pultrusion and filament winding capabilities with exotic materials allows us to develop revolutionary structures."
Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing will be used where possible and will be covered by Romar Engineering with Steve Milanoski, ex-SpaceX, leading the steadily growing additive manufacturing team.
The DART CMP UAV will undergo hardware in the loop bench testing as part of flight readiness.
Hypersonix will prepare for project DART CMP starting in July 2022.
Only 1 bushmaster has been destroyed and all crew members survived and weren’t hurt so that’s how good they are
dozens have been destroyed and many troops killed.
Not true saw reddit video of Australia bushmaster completely shot up whole crew were dead unfortunately. Looked like an ambush
If you believe Zelensky…you’ll believe anything ! Unfortunately there have been a lot more than one blown to smithereens !
And let's not forget to mention our deadliest naval vessel: The Ruby Princess
nah mate, its the sea snake
Weapon of mass infection.
Aussie humour never gets old 😂
@@ivanflinnable yeah, we also got the air force, magpies and amphibius landing units, the crocs, the navy we got the great white as well
😂
First Armoured Regt (1 Armd Regt) have served proudly in several conflicts. For me it was SVN and the venerable yet powerful Centurion V tank without the bells and whistles of US and other tanks.Great Regiment ! Their armour saved several of my crews from severe injury from RPG and light A/T weapons.The bushmaster is a welcome addition as are the newer tanks on the Drawing Board.
I was a member of 1CAV in 1966 before it was disbanded, we all went to 2CAV training 4CAV, to be sent to 3 CAV operating in Vietnam.
Watching the way armour is used in ukr is frustrating. When 1st armoured came to Darwin we called their area Jurassic park :p (pre Abrams)
Having served in 1AR as a gunner on the time test Centurion their Armour was super heavy 11 inch in the front super tough no bells or whistles.
done very little real battle since vietnam, centurions, leopards then Abrams little deployment actually. the cav regt may get more work in future with M113 replacement. we had to get C17s to transport the abrams massively reducing their life span.
Bushmaster is 1000% legit Australian name for anything!
Took 70 years to develop the Bushmaster, we're still trying to find something to defeat those Emus... this is what is was all about
Totally agree, you gotta look out for those EMO'S
still no new tank though
Come on mate there are people in Australia that actually want to present an intelligent image to the rest of the world not this stupid bloody emu crap
@@jamied8678 You need to brush up on the Emu wars.
@@smedleyfarnsworth263 No I don't we kill animals in Australia that's what we do we don't have to create some mythical war because we shot some bloody emus . It's funny how a few emus got shot and that is all they talked about but we shoot thousands of kangaroos a year or run over them with trucks and cars and no one mentions that
Thanks Australia from all people of Ukraine.
I wouldn't thank anyone. Your people have as little say in what goes on as the russian people do.
You're welcome. I've often joked that if I was allowed to choose whatever vehicle I wanted to drive around Sydney or Melbourne, I'd choose a Bushmaster because nobody would be game to mess with you.When left to their own devices, Australian engineers will build something that's as tough as they come. May they prove to be an irritant to the Russians and very useful to the Ukrainian army
GLORY TO RUSSIA 🙏🏻🇷🇺♥️🇦🇺
@@missbliss1083 hope true Russian patriots take control of your country and corrupt fools go to history.
No worries mate 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏿💋❤️
This is one of the best light armored vehicles out there . The only disappointing thing about it is that the US was going to buy them and right before they signed they decided to make their own version. While that was being developed many GI's died in their un armored Hummers.
US is not a friend of any country in the world. They are mongrels, have no ethics or morals. AUS will learn the hard way, when the time comes...the US will drop them like a hot potato.
What the hell are you talking about the Americans have been Producing APC's since the 50's and Hummers were never considered true APC instead have always used for quick travel and still are and will be for decades to come but into battle America has far superior versions of these Australian ones (M1126 Stryker) and America's Bells and whistle's are the Advanced Tech that saves lives. Cant find a News story about the sale either. Why would the States buy an Australian APC when they would only have to put millions more into it to bring it to the level of their advanced integrated Classified systems. Most nations produce their own APC even Canada does and we are also sending APC's to Ukraine. Plus 90% of Australian Military Tech Like Canada is produced in the States, Australia buy's more actually, and I think is America's biggest customer in the world.
@@captaincanada67 The Bushmaster isn't an APC and doesnt pretend to be one . Its a lightly armoured infantry transport vehicle thats un armed and wheeled . The Dutch were so impressed with it in Afghanistan they immediately bought it after seeing them survive massive road side bombs.
Your right about Australia being a good customer of the US , and we back them in every stupid war they decide to start . Yet when we develop a fantastic vehicle they don't support us with sales . My uncle just happened to be the highest up public servant to the Australian minister for defence for 40 years . Google might not know about the US procurement of Aust Bushmaster system , but he certainly did.
@@adamparker9765 yes, we foolishly accept every invitation to join an american conflict - even the illegal ones. When australia asks for US involvement in peacekeeping exercises ( timor springs to mind ) , our american " allies " couldn't give a fuck. Maybe marketing had told then that Timor has no interest in coca cola or mc donalds ........
@@russellfrancis-wl6pz US sells a lot of weapons to Indonesia . Especially just after the Vietnam war , which is why they didnt want us to go in when the Indos first invaded.
I was stationed at Balibo in 2000 and walked past the place the Aussie journalists were executed by Indo soldiers , every day .
Very nice Australia!! 🇦🇺 The US thanks and salutes our Aussie brothers and sisters. Not just for Mad Max, or Mad Max: Fury Road, or even Aunty Donna- you guys are indispensable as friends and allies. The reason our democracies thrive and wield the upper hand on our enemies is the very thing we protect: freedom and prosperity for our people. A kleptocracy- like russia or North Korea- creates a flimsy illusion of strength which works fairly well inside their borders with hyper-nationalist propaganda, garish displays like parading missiles down the streets with grandiose music, and a steady digital montage of their "next-generation" fighter jets and superweapons shown blasting F-22's out of the sky, yet they are nowhere to be seen on a battlefield where Ukrainian MiG-29's have denied them air superiority for 10 months. The "why" is very simple: in a kleptocracy like russia, the huge allocations of funds that were necessary to modernize their Soviet-era military were absorbed at every level by corruption, which is inherently part of their culture. Putin didn't just allow it, he made it fashionable in russia like white Fila tracksuits and chest hair. So whenever their forward-thinking capable engineers present advanced weapons programs, they're accepted, immediately put on display, then all the necessary funding for development, testing, mass-production and (most importantly) training their servicemen and women how to use them if they end up existing disappears into the Bentleys, pet tigers and tacky gold home decor of the heads of each department- and IF you blow the whistle on them, whoever has the closest ties to the Kremlin "falls" out of a 17th story window, and the process repeats itself until nothing works, and no one is actually working to fix the problem ~ Because that would mean admitting the system that lines all their pockets is failing = kleptocracy. It's pathetic. And I'm extremely grateful they're stuck with that system, while we and our allies have functioning societies with very real military strength. No country is without levels of corruption among the wealthy, but we have safeguards to prevent it from becoming the mechanism that controls our future and silences those who stand against it. Ukrainians are literally fighting that system right now= russia, which is why we defend them and welcome them into our alliance against tyranny and evil. Slava Ukraini!!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦✊️✊️✊️ And God bless the free world 🌎
God bless America. you might shout a bit loud, but hey we luv ya
Mate Australia doesn’t have any enemies, on what planet are you.
The new ones have cup holders so they're way better.
Hopefully with insulation to keep tinnies cool!

These bushmasters are designed for Australian conditions, kangaroo shooting, bull catching, cattle mustering, camping out on the beach, and if someone takes a shot at you it can also be used as a armoured car
Do they come with a surfboard rack?
@@blairhaffly1777 yes that'll cost a bit extra, coz at the flick of a switch they become a missile launcher
No there more for the ambulance & rescuers to pick up wounded soldiers civilians ect... as they can take a few hits! I watched a doco about them. Also because they do pretty good in muddy & rocky situations.
The Bushmaster was actually designed for the conditions in Ireland and for overseas deployment by the Irish Defence forces.
@@charlesd3a Lol. Bullshit.
At least they haven't yet heard of the Royal Australian 963rd Grand Emu Battalion. That is our top secret weapon.
Deadly if you get nailed by them!! Much better night ambush fighters than direct frontal assault though.
@lwf51Amen... (from an atheist)... though I'd support a special dispensation for the Royal Australian 963rd Grand Emu Battalion, due to their close relationship with the british crown!
If you have ever been kicked by an Emu let me assure you you won't go near one again without a Bushmaster (that is if you survive the kick /
That wasn't an MBT, it was an IFV. If you're going to use stock footage, try to get it right. As for the Bushmaster, it's nice but hardly undefeatable or terribly lethal as it's very lightly armed and is only proof against small-arms fire. It's a very good/well-designed vehicle for its class (mobility) and that's it.
Agree. So much copium and propaganda.
There has not been a single death of an Australian soldier as the result of a bushmaster being destroyed, in which 31 have been damaged beyond repair, since their adoption. Every single aspect of the bushmaster has been designed around crew survivability, and it is one of the best mine resistant troop carriers on the market.
With only 4 wheels this cancel the advantage of wheeled vehicle compare with tracked vehicles and it also compromised its ability to tackle very rough terrain. Talking about propaganda, "there had not been a single Au soldier's death as a result of a Bushmaster destroyed" Well I hope so, this is in Ukraine and is Ukraine soldiers in it, Au did not send any. An even safer armored transport would be an Makava 4 tank.
One corrupt government helping out another corrupt government.
The Australian defense department is perfecting the new Bush Stick, a beautifully balanced hardwood stick designed for close quarter combat. It is envisioned that the Bush Stick will be the the most technologically advanced weapon after a highly probable major nuclear exchange. Good work Australia.
Lol thanks but it went over their heads
and a boomerang that does not return? A bloody stick!
Don’t forget our perfect round tactical throwing stones
were also working on more offensive words as a counter attack. the rest of the world better watch out.
Do those come the attached "Bush String" the officially approved tactical accessory?
These Bushmasters are built in my old home town, Bendigo in Victoria. These units are tough like the locals who build them. Grüße aus Australien.
Oh wait these are built in Bendigo? I'm living just south of there in the Macedon area! I'll have to keep an eye out for the factory next time I'm up north

The Aussies have always had a very bad ass military. So their equipment must keep up with their military demands.

Australian bushmaster ATV is easy recognized by the roof racks and surfboards strapped to them .
See the 747 at 2:06 that and a few more of them belong to a Drag Racer friend of mine "Connie" Kaletta. You may remember him from the movie "Heart Like a Wheel" where he is a protagonist in the story. I am not as old as he is but I have known him since the 1960's days of NHRA Top Fuel even back when he ran the SOHC Ford. I welded up the wing struts on his TF car at Gainsville in 87, we had a TIG welder in my trailer to assist with the job.. Watch the movie, it is a true story of the sacrifice Shirley Muldowney went through to become not only a World Champion NHRA TF racer but the first to win two titles and did it back to back, with a lot of help from Ron Tobler and her son John Muldowney. In racing you win together or you lose together.
These New Australia's Most Lethal Armored Vehicles look harmless, compared to Australia's Most Lethal Spiders.
Shhh... don't tell them; the vehicles are filled with spiders too but we trained them to only crawl toward vehicles with a "Z" on them
Even more so with Australia's snakes.
Lol gtfoh... What lethal spiders!? we're not a bunch of hillbillies living out bush. Most Aussies are city slickers living in comfort.
@IdoZatTimeInaVan Hasn't been a death from one since 1981 when the antivenom was created.. Just sayin' Snakes are far worse better off putting a few eastern brown snakes in the glove compartment, those aggressive bastards would give anyone a fight for their money. Also the venom acts a blood thinner as opposed to other snake bites that coagulate blood, sometimes the anti-venom needs to be taken multiple times before it takes effect lol. Maybe for shits and giggles a western taipan under the seats haha.
Bro my dad trained 3 red backs to bite him so he could get a walking stick with a skull on it
Caterpillar used to be great engines until they started putting all the computerized emissions crap on them. My cousin has a truck with a C7 and it's a piece of s*** money pit that keeps breaking down. I have a dump truck with an old 3306 cat engine, that doesn't have computers on it, and it's dependable as heck.
@Hillbilly beer dranker I hear that complaint a lot. Same thing but different, I have a 2004 Mercedes - Built just when 'electronics everything' took off on vehicles. It's only done 206,000 genuine KM. I know, nothing for a Merc. It's been sitting in the garage for 6 months because of an electronics failure that keeps sucking the life out of the battery within 24hrs and makes the car act like it's possessed. Now all I want is my 1969 VW Bug or 1965 Ford Falcon. As dependable as heck! Why did I sell them? Why?? lol

Once saw a bushmaster approach a pissed off drop bear on a dirt track. The operator called in air support to clear a few clicks of virgin bushland to get around the culprit, who wouldn't budge.

My son worked on the Abrahms tank. When I asked him what good it was with only a 30-kilometer range, and needing a fuel tanker to follow it, he simply replied, because everything in that thirty kilometer's is dead.
Abrams are awful
Tanks and fighter Jets are now obsolete. Trucks with missile launchers win every fight, they destroy tanks from 300km away. They are used for air defense, destroying all incoming aircraft before they even reach your boarder.

30km range for what its canon? or for having to refuel.

Enjoyed your video and so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Admit it it, Australians developed the Bushmaster to protect from the Australian wildlife.
Generally our wildlife are more known for defence rather than attack lol. You usually have to step on them first before they attack or they can absorb an absurd number of bullets.

Why do you tell the whole world what is going on and what is given to Ukraine we will hear about it when this war is done. I would rather this be keep secret for now.
Exactly what I was thinking..... don't talk about it just get the job done
There is no way this bushmaster can take on a tank. Or can it what secrets lay inside.
It's important as it can serve as a deterrent to Russia.
Imagine what you would do if you learnt that someone you were going to attack with a pistol has just acquired an SMG.
It's psychological and let's Russia know that Ukraine has lethal support.
You gotta know which arms manufacturers to invest in… duh.
It's all been reported on with every news channel in Australia it's no secret
Great video. Another recent Australian defence initiative is the Loyal Wingman drone.
Yes! made by... hang on... did we swap part ownership of BHP for Boeing shares?
As far as great video, we don't seem to share the same idea about photoshopping images for the video thumbprint...
7:43 watch out for that dropbear
It has cup holders to
Zinkies 🧋🥤🙂
I somehow don't think the Russians will be shocked by a few Bushmaters. They have more armoured experience than us!!!
But there experience is very old, just like my grandpa lol
not really true we have adapted all of our technology from combat records sourced from America and Britain who have significantly more modern armoured experience than them
@@PABLO-ib3jm They have a long war experience with their armour, a lot more than us. They have actual experience we really don't have much armour experience. When was the last time we used our tanks etc?
@@aussiefan354 aye but we have superior training from experienced tankers and completely different tactics to them which is basically what i just said
@@PABLO-ib3jm Not enough I am afraid. Our Armoured Force is too tiny, whilst the Russians are huge. Superior training? Maybe, but we are too tiny to make a real difference. The Russians are toughnuts who are used to fighting. Most of the foreign "volunteers" who have had experience in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have gone home because the Russian artilery onslaught is too much. Our bushmasters wont stand up to the Russian forces. And now the Ukrainians want even more of our Bushmasters and Hawkei armoued Vehicles!! I mean seriously, we have very little in the way of defence and should not be sending anything to another country. We will never get the equipment sent over there back and if a war breaks out in our region we are poorly equiped to fight it. We may need those vehicles one day and they won't be there. I think we should stay out of a European war and worry about our own defence. With the rise of China in our Pacific Region we have enough to worry about rather then sending our precious equipment off to fight in a war that is not our business.
And here I sit brokenhearted
Tried to shit but only farted
I use my bushmaster to go to 7/11 each morning. I can only afford small coffee as the high fuel consumption in my bushie.
Sound good, but those vehicles will unfortunately not stand up to any serious attacks with mortars or rockets or cannons etc. They are off-cause a lot better than nothing, but having seen what happen to tanks targeted by heavy impact explosive devices, and knowing that Russia has plenty of hard hitting firepower they haven't resorted to fully, I don't think those Bushmasters should be left exposed to that as they would get smashed. I hope the Ukranian defenders will try and keep them out of harm's way if that is possible, given Russia's reach with their assorted missiles.!
Russia's military is already 25% degraded so if they resort to heavier tactics then so does the rest respond. I say Don't Hold Back Russia because you playing like you have a chance here... no single country has a chance vs rest of world, not even USA!
They proved themselves in the middle east. Especially against ied.
BullShit!! You have no fucking idea!
" will unfortunately not stand up to any serious attacks with mortars or rockets or cannons" that is not their purpose. They are a transport that protects the occupants from small arms fire/land mines/IED's etc. They work far better than most others in that class and certainly better than a truck.
Australia has since given the Ukraine a total of 90 Bush Master vehicles in a number of variants. It has to be remembered these aim to afford great mobility with speed while providing protection to soldiers from small arms fire up to 7.63mm, grenades, SRAAW, and other threats such as land mines (via it's design) and various other weaponry via its cage protection system. They provide a valuable capability but don't pretend to be something they are not.
@@filthymamimal6025damn the vehicle is a beast
The bushmaster air force version has not passed its drop test yet because no one will volunteer to fly it.
Bushmaster is going electric
sure is an electrifying machine !
The World will now tremble with our Bushmaster. I can see their knees rattling already.
Don't mess with us Aussie's.
And we drink our Beer COLD. So ... you've been warned!
Enter stage right the Australian Ninja! Yew! We'll see how he performs without his highly trained unit watching his back. Maggot food like all the rest.
saw a train loaded with these going through albury a few months ago. can confirm.. we have more then you think of them.
Yeah well why hasn't the ADF come back to help in our flood zone like they PROMISED???
@@missbliss1083 They didn't promise, a politician did.
Last time I checked, ADF stands for DEFENCE - not DISASTER. You want a Federal version of the SES, then someone else can go fund that.
Leave the DEFENCE force to do its fckn job, which is NOT disasters.
Unfortunately, nowadays cos the precedent was set in the national conscience with the 2020 bushfires, the minute it rains somewhere, you see some useless armchair flog out there with their stopwatch on social media, pissing and moaning (whilst doing F...all themselves) that the ADF hasn't turned up to mop out their backyard.
Australia: Gets the F-35 instead of F-22
Me: Slow Claps
I will be looking on ebay to get mine soon once they start putting them up
The reason Ukriane is requesting that information is kept secret is because of talkatives on TH-cam Channel like this one--who will tell it all and place Ukraine- Military Efforts in jeopardy! They tell it ALL!! Is it just to boost thier TH-cam Channel? This is WAR. It's NOT a Soccer- game.
Bit over the top. Nice protected transport vehicle - certainly not intended for direct combat engagements.
America bought a fair few of them during war on terror as they could take an IED blast with very high survival rate
That's what it's designed for. But I would still put my money on it over a Russian tank in any confrontation.
Australia stands with 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Did he say it was intended for direct combat engagement..i must of missed that bit.
@@madeleyinc Old mate kept banging on about it's "Offensive capability" in the video.
Which made me laugh considering it's essentially an APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier), which is in no way anything like an AFV (Armoured Fighting Vehicle).
The latter usually has a decent Offensive weapon system in addition to it's armour and troop carrying capability. But even then AFV's usually only have squad support weapons and/or a light cannon.
Which is still something the former generally isn't equiped with. At best they might have a MG mount but no cannon, light or otherwise.
The Bushy is great at taking a hit, being a generally great & reliable truck and protecting the troops inside it. It's really not a complicated vehicle.
@@soulsurvivor8293 ahh dude these are fitted with 25mm light auto cannon AND 40mm GMG 😆
The old CROWS were fitted with a M2 fifty Cal.... not many objects can stand up to that on the average street.....
I believe that up to 90 Bushmaster have been sent by now. We are happy to help against the Invaders. ⚡
nah, slava Z
Do you not know about the Nazi Azov battalions and 46 bio labs in Ukraine !?
the narrator is overplaying this. They're a lightly armoured vehicle, that's it
When you look at the wreckage, the vehicles have almost a foam around them. What is that? Guesses: automatic system to attempts to put the fire out or some kind internal material getting cooked off.
Yeah mate,you're correct. It's the Automatic Fire Suppression System.
Australia is supplying coal to power Ukraine yet power companies in Australia claim to be in a crisis
We all know that the power companies feed us a load of 💩 thus making greater profits. You might ask why our reserve power although coal driven generators had the generators blown up and why gas is so scarce that they are able to screw us over for profit. The Greens and obviously corrupt politicians are happy to send our gas overseas creating a shortage at home. Were they honest they would provide for us first from our ample resources and sell overseas after our needs are economically met.....the old excuse of "earning hard currency" is rubbish....we don't get much benefit from that other than overpaying our politicians !🤬
Funny how the Bushmaster looks nothing like the thing in the Thumbnail picture.
Its about time we started to manufacture again in Australia
Not new not lethal armoured trucks Russian troops are not going to be surprised
it's all over the news matey!
Zelenksy didn't even buy us dinner and we gave him some bush.
Why don't we just give them our first born children as well!. The money should be spent at home before giving to a corrupted government.
Who else is disappointed of how the truck in the thumbnail wasn't actually in the video???
It looks like these figures are now low with 60 bushmaster vehicle and 40+ Hawkie to be sent to Ukraine as an updated supply list.
Meanwhile we're homeless in flood zones. Thanks Australia glad I payed tax for 40 years. FU.
This is all harmless compared to emus. Nothing can compare to the that
No biological weapons were banned remember we can't do that
The Emu wars are still happening and the Emus are winning.
The ironic thing about the bushmaster is that it was first use for INTERFET mission in East Timor against pro Indonesia militias supported by Kopassus. But now Indonesia have given a license from Thales Australia to make an indigenous variant of the bushmaster called Pindad Sanca which is used by Kopassus.
@MrBuckaroonie bushmaster was first mass produce in 1996 and it was first overseas mission is on east timor.
@MrBuckaroonie someone should really re edit the wiki then, since it says there the first mission of bush master is interfet and it was produce from 1996-present. With the first prototype built on 1990
The real bushmasters are them snakes...
Western governments are great at protecting other countries cultures and borders. But for some reason couldn't care less about their own. Strange indeed 🤔
Fun fact Australia is underneath China and not infact in the west of the planet
They do, just not in the way that satisfies racists.
@@newbris umm no they don't. And when u notice some wanker will call u racist.
Hope these help out bushmasters & m113 APC absolute so proud of Australia 🇦🇺 LETS GO UKRAINE 🇺🇦👍🏽💪🏽✊🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🚜🧨☄️💥..
Yr supporting a proxy war by the US and NAZI NATO LOL
The M113 APC is useless. It only has 20mm Aluminium as armour. A 50 cal bullet shot at 100m can penetrate this armour. Thats why we have the bushmaster
Natzee klunge
ALL BURNT OUT. LMFAO.
If something can survive the Australian outback, it can survive anywhere.
...my government woke up and decided to make some random shit again.
Good on ya Oz
Honestly being faster than a human can blink is not very impressive. It’s less than 1 mph.
“Faster than a speeding bullet,” is copyrighted?
How do you work that out drivel.
@@FarCoff it takes about 100 milliseconds for a human to Blink. During that time the eyelid travels About one and a half centimeters, which means that in one second it travels 15 cm.
15cm/second 15*3600cm/hour = 54000cm/hour = 540meters/h = .34miles/hour.
@@dyvel As I said drivel.
@@FarCoff and then I explained that drivel to you, since you clearly don't understand drivel.
Does it have USB-C charging ports and recliner seats in the back?
built in esky has the charging ports
@@annpeerkat2020 I love it. It's the all-Australian weekender in that case.
Not sure why we are singing Australia's praises here for the design and build of the Bushmaster? Did you all miss the memo that said these are built in Australia by Thales (pronounced "tarlis" not "thails") a huge French weapons manufacturer? We are probably giving them away to curry some favour with the French government - after we stiffed them on the multi-billion dollar submarine supply agreement, in favour of the US nuclear-powered subs ...
Thales is Thales Australia which was Australian Defence Industries (ADI) prior to that, so yes, Thales Australia is Australian run, just has the Parent Company (Thales) being a French Company. I would still say the Bushmaster is an R&D project on Australian terms
Didn't know but not surprised.
The submarines may never eventuate; both US and UK have said there is no room in the queue to order them.
Meaning, specifically for the US, they don't want us to have the designs and/or make them ourselves.
The UK might be ok with us manufacturing and building their one here in Australia though. But the US is completely against the idea.
Not to worry, the JSF doesn't look like eventuating either.
@@matrixdecoded4226 ???
Given recent history, I imagine the cancellation penalty clauses in the contract will be pretty bulletproof!
Wrong !
Tell on youtube that our Submarines will be ready by 2050 is totally Idiotic, but typically Australian ADF. Some of our Leaders never learned anything from the first and second WW. For example the dependency of our Allies.
Australia is spending billions on a host nuclear submarine port for existing AUKUS submarines.
70 000 tonnes of coal but us banning Australia from using it
Lethal? They’re fukken battlefield taxis lol
Thank You Australia!
GLORY TO RUSSIA 🙏🏻 🇷🇺 ♥️ 🇦🇺
Good on you, Australia!
The Bushmaster is not new. We've had them for a long time. The Australian Army stores like 20-30 of them just down the road from my office. I drive past them all the time.
Just so you know Ukrainians, those jars are not wagon wheel grease but Vegemite.
