idk I think schoolbus is a better name because it is shaped like your typical american schoolbus even with the windows and all which makes that nickname pretty funny.

JB was just being polite look up Bangbus it's a PORN reference

@@samm1561 That would be the Bang Bus Brother, or so I'm told.

way a lot of the kids sound today that might just make the next school bus whenever its sold to public lol.(my thinking; if it keeps it out it can also keep it in)

@Francis Glucksman you are a weirdo dude

Made in RSA!!!

Many people do remember where it all came from, even if it isn't politically correct.

Weren’t the called CASPER, really big beastie, but it could stagger away after a mine blast, wonder why the Americans didn’t try and keep that capability

@@daviddavids8218 "casspir" is one of the South African ones.

@@daviddavids8218 you can’t justify spending millions on a new design when there is an effective pre existing option

Never is, it's like the magic school bus

“With the Friz?! NO WAY!”(edit: thanks for the like Sofi!)

With Sofilein? No way!

No, it's "learn to spot the bombs, kids!" If you don't learn the lesson correctly then "you" get mailed home instead of a report card.

With the the Taliban, no way!

Hmmm, I think you are right!😂

The rong girl to give a Lamborghini ride

I seem to recall a certain Irishman saying that she did not like the way he drove on the way to the Defence Institute at Shrivenham ... might have been the lack of armour between her and the other vehicles?

Ordinary car for sofi has firepower, is thicc, and heavily armoured.

@@foxtrot801 I think the right kind of Porsche might succeed though ;)

He’s awesome hey. I love chuckling imagining the shenanigans and jokes made on each other. Helps keep everyone’s egos in check and provide some needed laughs.

Thank you for your service from Canada

Can you please explain "quad EFP? I did some time in the Aussie Army Reserve in the late'80s to mid 90s so I can get some of it. EFP, Explosive Formed Penetrator?. The quad bit has me stuck. Does it mean that once initiated, you faced explosions from four points or something else? Just interested to learn more is all, so anyone with relevant knowledge please respond.

@@markfryer9880 EFP = Explosively Formed Penetrator/Projectile. We came across several EFP's set up as two's, three's, and four's, sometimes even mounted vertically beneath bridges. This particular set up was on the East (left) side of Route 1 on the north side of Baghdad as we were heading south on a supply run for our infantry company based at FOB Huriyyah 2 (B Company, 1 Battlion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne AA, a.k.a. Bulldog(Bravo) Co. 1-502 "First Strike") south toward Camp Liberty/Baghdad Airport, covered by rubble at the side of the road, the whole contraption tilted slightly upward, with two 10-inch diameter concave copper-plate EFP's on either end canted outward, and two more 12-inch concave copper-plate EFP's in the center canted only slightly outward. 10in-12in-12in-10in. It was a Humvee killer, as at the time many American convoys used up-armored Humvees on point. The first 10-inch EFP would have destroyed the engine bay of a Hummer, the two 12-inch into the crew compartment, the last 10-inch into the rear of the truck. Destroying the lead Humvee would have temporarily halted the convoy, and we know they had planned an ambush, but being an Infantry formation, the rest of the convoy immediately reacted and the terries only managed a few bursts from an RPK. Most of our Company was on various active patrols/over-watch or guard duty, so as a supply convoy we took what personnel and vehicles were available, therefore had an RG-33L on point, with just the 3 of us crewing it instead of a full load of 11. Driver, truck-commander, gunner, plus usually 8 men in the back, but not that day. I drew the short straw and was on the gun, my fellow SGT as truck commander. As a Sergeant myself I wouldn't normally be in the turret. All that to say: if we had been on point in an up-armored Hummvee per usual, we'd have all been killed for sure. As it stands, the three of us were in an MRAP, which was still annihilated, but it is higher up off the ground and with a more comprehensive armor scheme than a Hummer. Therefore we survived, albeit injured. We were saved by an MRAP, and that's part of my story! Hope my rambling answered your questions.

Thanks for your service and detailed explanation.

@@pg123ab Appreciate that.

@@bigsarge2085 Those EFP's got that Iranian general smoked. Fucker stood up so, he had to get smacked back down.

Thanks

We (BAE US) modified the design from the South-a-frikens (loving term). They worked along side use during the design. It was good to benefit from 20+ years of IED experience from the guy's at BAE S.A. OMC.

She's all lady

@@CowboyCarCrushing NO SHES A HONORARY ONE OF THE BOYS

I dont really understand what's happening.

@@tyecollaborator5017 but she isn't acting masculine. She still puts the lady touches on it. It's like ladies that are into Hot Rods. It's kinda seen as a Guy thing. So is Armour. But by her showing her interest and love for armour. "Makes her on of the Boys"

@@tyecollaborator5017 who said anything about her being hot and innocent?

It sort of is. We designed it based on direct input from BAE S.A. OMC. Their engineers worked side by side with us to re-design it for US use.

Forgot to say, this is why most armour has an air gap stop spalling happening... or at least reduce it.

Not at 3 to 5 miles per gallon.

Agree, I really like her videos. She does not interfere/ disrupt people from what they are talking about. But she does add value with relevant questions and comments here and there. These demonstrate her knowledge and love of armour. And yes the is one attractive lady!

Although I’m not a vet I’m named for my uncle killed in Belgium weeks before the end of WW II in Belgium, my Grandfather was WW I doughboy, my late Father-in-law joined the Navy November 1941 at 17 and served for the duration (now proudly buried with his comrades in the National cemetery on Cape Cod), another Uncle served as a waistegunner on a B-17...kids today have no idea!!
