Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about older weapon systems. In our videos, we tell their epic stories which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information as well as historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future would be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

While I know that even fully armored cavalry is nearly obsolete, I think there may still be a niche for well armed armored cars such as this. A small, highly maneuverable vehicle with the ability to be air dropped or similar, yet has the ability to carry sufficient weaponry to at least disable medium or heavy armor, is still an important tool. But with the addition of the modern drone swarm I fear the days of armored conflict is coming to an end. Prior to WWI there were a couple small scale conflicts that ushered in many of the tech used later in The Great War, most nations didn’t pay attention. Similar events happened just before WWII. The current Azerbaijan conflict is very telling of what is probably going to happen in a short while. But, I still believe that a decent armored car is worth it.

Another very good video on this channel. I served in the 80's in Chad and the Central African Republic, as both gunner and later commander on AML60 and AML90. It's not easy to find many negative points about the AML. However like most such vehicles (EBR, AML, ERC, and AMX10RC) they are not easy to drive and need competent drivers. The French AML has a 4 cylinder, opposed, air cooled (much like a big ww-beetle) engine. Loved for its simplicity and reliability, but it needs a well trained operator. A heavy steering and a tricky clutch system adds on to the job :-) The turret on the other hand is a breeze, with a very precise 90mm that is simply fantastic.

@Ghost63123 2 жыл бұрын

Correct. The Eland had a longer front end to accomodate the larger South Africans, and a 2.5l Chevrolet Ironduke watercooled engine. I heard somewhere that the turret was lifted to accomodate the South Africans. We are big bastards 😊. My brother is 1.9m tall, and he was a crew commander on a Eland. There were not enough short people to be trained as crew by the Armoured Corps. We called the Eland a Noddy car as a nickname, after the funny cars found in the Noddy books

The Blues & Royals were keen to get to grips with the Argentine AMLs but never got the chance, so not sure where that story comes from about them fighting each other. The AMLs were all kept around Stanley as they couldn't manage the boggy terrain like the Scorpions and Scimitars.
