“Argentina lost this opportunity which would have made it a global player…” wraps up our entire history as a nation.

"Due to budget Problems.. " ah. there is the argentina we all know.

very good insight of this Family, The Argentinians have everything to make great things, i hope they can stand up from they current situation, much love from Chile.

USA is starting production of the m10 Booker. nearly identical spec as the TAM. Ukraine wants more leopard1's. Argentina was 50 years too early.

Hello. Some clarifications and corrections: 2:18 Argentina considered the AMX-30 and Leopard 1, both modernized. The commissions went to France (to continue with the same technology) and to Germany (where they contacted several companies, not just Henschel). The American M60 was offered later. 3:09 The first TAM prototype (TAM-A) was received in 1977; It was the TH-300 without modifications. Later two more prototypes were received (TAM-2 and TAM-3) for more tests. With all the modifications made, the final TAM (TAM-4) was obtained; It was the equivalent of the TH-301. 4:55 The hatch can be used to recover crew from another armored vehicle (removing the ammunition present there). 5:50 Not all tanks have that cannon. Those that were prototypes have the German versions and the first series has the Israeli versions of the famous 105mm L7. 8:59 There is no such thing as a TAM 2C-IP, it is not a real project. 10:08 The VCDA has not been serialized because it was an idea or preliminary project, which was not formalized or prototyped. 10:16 This is false. The TAP draft does not exist, it is an invention of social networks. But apparently around 1978 Tyssen-Henschel took the TH-301/105 and modified it to carry 120/44 guns. 13:12 Here we must add the German restrictions, the fall of the Soviet Union and the overflow of armored vehicles that depreciated the value and canceled negotiations of their analogues in the West. Regards, Coldown.

A wonderful video about Argentine medium tank ( TAM ) ..video clearly explained all characteristics of this tank and historical background of Argentine Armored projects since 1940. Video shared by an amazing ( weapon detective) channel. Thank you ( weapon detective) channel for sharing this remarkable video

Brilliant tank no doubt, kind of sad Malaysia didn't get to procure it but the situation of Argentina at that time is totally understandable.

God I love this channel! You just don't find content like this. Every other channel just recycles the greatest hits and never cover rare material like this.

thanks, I'm argentinian, love the TAM but there are some things in your video I didnt know, very informative. Sadly today we are no better in terms of economic stability and our 30 years since the last military government was really bad for military development, and the army in general. That is not only bad for the defense of the country but also a big lost oportunity in research and developement and in a commercial way. Hopefully this may change, but it will take a long time

Your pronunciation of "Tanque Argentino Mediano" was almost perfect! -- great video

Thanks for this little history research about our little beloved vehicle! It makes me feel weird looking at some scenes from my city, Concordia, where it is located the 6th Cavalry Regiment, the oldest unit of the argentine army. Greetings!

Thank you TAM 2IP. Helped me loads grinding German tech tree

La familia TAM si entro en combate, buen video.

Hola ...soy de la ciudad de Azul..y a 2 cuadras de mi casa . está el regimiento de caballeria 10 (Húsares de Pueyrredon) están los TAM y sus derivados incluso el Palmaria y los VCTP....nobles carros muy bien pensados para nuestra Nación...incluso eh andado en los TAM cuando se festeja el dia del Ejército....(Incluso hubo un proyecto que no paso mas de los papeles el TAP Tanque Argentino Pesado)..saludos excelente canal.

hello sir, nice video, i was from Brasil and live in argentina, we are ally, hermanos.

Great channel. Greetings from Mar del Plata,Buenos Aires,Argentina 🇦🇷

Es un buen tanque, se adapta muy bien a las adversidades del territorio Argentino. Bueno, bonito y barato

Our beloved tank, it may not be the best or the nicest but its ours, and thats what matters.

So many countries south of the border had great potential to become a great regional power but corruption always has something to do with their current situation today

Really interesting vehicle, or rather the whole familly of vehicles

Ok, it's an Argentine/German coproduction. Promising concept 👍

Brilliant video, thank you

Marder medium tank RI of Indonesia is the other production standard "cousin" with different Italian sourced turret by Leonard.

El TAM no podia ingresar en las malvinas por que tiene un terreno muy fangoso, para que se entienda mejor es Rusia y Ucrania cuando se acerca el invierno X2, y esta tan mal que nisiquiera un tanque de 30 toneladas puede entrar sin ser tragado y convertirse en un naufragio terrestre así de firme es el jodido suelo. Y esto lo comento por que también hay muchos Argentinos que no entienden el por qué no estaban en malvinas

El M60 nunca fue pensado por los Argentinos y más bien los estadounidenses se lo propusieron a los Argentinos pero fue rechasado casi al instante por no cumplir casi ninguno de los requisitos, como el coste por unidad, el peso, la agilidad y la velocidad, y por eso nunca fue aceptado para participar en primer lugar

Modernize the article, the TAM is being updated to the TAM 2CA2 already in mass production, maintaining its agility, improving technology to 2023, the same used by the Merkava 4, same producers, fact that make surpassing the forty-year-old Leopard 2A4, his only rival in the region.

A small error is that the tam palmaria does not have a modified tam chassis but rather the rest of the prototype chassis of the tap project. If the 155 mm cannon could be adapted to the tam, they would have already changed the 105 mm one to the 120 mm one. Don't you think? . the tam palmaria is called itself so as not to cause confusion with the names but it is still not a member of the tam family even though it is one in essence

Love the late 70s / 80s look

El Tam posee tecnologia Alemana ,francesa, desarrolo completo en Argentina es el mini merkaba falta que vean el TAM 2c con desarrollo en partes israelii. 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

the looks of this tank has always been pretty appealing to me. That alone has this one up there for me at least in style. (and it has roots with the Leo1 so hey)

The Thyssen Group did the roadshow in Thailand back in the 80s and offered for locally building plan but the RTA ultimately chose Cadillac Gage Light Tank Stingray instead. It wouldn't be different to chose either one, being a sole or dual user nations of the types.

El TAM, compensa su cañon de 105 mm, con municion israeli M326. Lo que lo hace, aun letal

An excellent video as always. So, we have learnt that nationalist policies and a totalitarian regime, like a junta, might be good for the industry but highly harmful for the business in the international market.

Seeing that my country, Philippines got a new tank, being 30 tons and using 105mm gun…I wonder if they ever thought of having the TAM decades ago to replace the role. Being tanks used before then were APCs with 90 and 76 milimetre cannons and decades ago M41, M24, and M4 tanks being near the 30 tons limit.

I remember that in 2021, on an anniversary, I think that from the air force you could support the remodernization of the TAM by buying things like color prints of X planes, models and collectible insignia. Unfortunately they resort to these practices due to the low military budget. I hope it can be solved with Milei, very good video, new sub.

Looks like the Marder and the Leopard I had a baby

Next video about the EE-T1 Osório, please?

Very impressive tank.

Great video about the TAM. But there are a few things to correct (although mostly are going to try and deny me, because the historical revisionism our country has suffered) What happened between 1987 and 1990 was an internal conflict in the Army, there was nothing even related to a "coupe" being discussed. It was against the generals, who were a bunch of traitors that didn't even care about the wellbeing of the army in general (it was more complex). And those generals started filling the ears of the politicians with the pretext that it was a coupe, to gain favor and to be authorised to repress the "rebels". The "war against subversion" started as an order of the then president Isabel Perón, to ANNIHILATE the subversive elements (literal wording of the decree 261/75) who were attacking civilians, military and police personnel indiscriminately since 1964 (ERP and Montoneros were the biggest ones). After the Malvinas War, the government fell out of favor of the people (because most people liked the military government), the democracy returned, and the military personnel who committed war crimes was judged and sentenced per the military law, which was still in place inside the army. In 1989, president Menem extended an indult to both sides, military and guerrillas. In 2003, president Nestor Kirchner nullified the indult only to the military and police personnel, and started again with the trials. Most of them were seniors at this point, and have already been judged (which is against the constitution). Luis Labraña, Mario Firmenich, and others (who were militants of the guerrilla, and confessed of having committed crimes against civilians), recognised that the number of 30.000 "disappeared" was invented, because the real number was around 8.000, because the UNHRC didn't consider the number to be a "genocide" (word they use here). Of the 8.000, a vast majority of them were accounted in documents of the armed forces and police (like in every conflict, there were some horrible people who did heinous things, but like I said before, those were dealt with since the beginning). The terrorist attacks continued until 1989, with the last one being the attack on the military base La Tablada. Meanwhile, the families of the victims of those terrorist groups are silenced, segregated and all the memories of their beloved ones erased from history. And I could write a lot more, but I'm going to end with this: it was a war, and in a war, there is righteousness and evil. No one is exempt. But here it has become a prosecution of the military, not just the ones who were really guilty, but of anyone who was involved in any way, and even of their descendants and the armed forces as a whole.

Oh man thank you very much for your video! I didn't expect to learn so much from a tank from my own country from an international source. I hope that the TAM can regain the recognition and budget that deserves to be competitive in the modern world and international market. The new government had already give 2 Russian Mi-171E helicopters to Ukraine, so I think that are good chance that in time we will send tanks or armored vehicles from the TAM family.

Man i didnt get anY notification i chilled the whole Time at the Channel Info but nothing happend this time without Premiere Just Upload?

As an argentinian I can say that our history is always either brilliant but unfortunate OR dumb but fortunate.

First: They saw combat: Tablada battle 1989, there is footage. TAM itself and VCTP with its 20 mm. Second: more than economic "problems" there was always some sort of boycott to punish Argentina since Churchill era to this day but not limited to the 40s since in early 1800s the brits tried to conquer Buenos Aires twice. Every time some indigenous military development might have been produced some sort of anglosaxon boycott was implemented. You have another example with Condor missile family. Third: the isles are called Las Malvinas. It was a good video though

Alto tanque amigooo!! ¿que tira sebita?

You guys have done a great job but please when you show the dimensions and the other stats of the military system please scrap the 90's green theme if possible. Other than that fabulous video fam.

Oh the TAM in WarThunder it designated as a light tank and if I would be honest it is quite fitting. The only thing that makes Argentine special in my heart, and my friend I can tell you the fate of it is a tragedy. It had so much potential, but it was createdat the wrong place wrong time. Maybe in I don't know....in Austria (for example) whould have been a more succesful vehicle. The change of it to wheeled vehicles is quite logical I'm curious which one will be (Centauro B2, Patria AMV...etc...) the Centauro would be a good choice I think because the Freccia wheeled IFV is based on it as well, but I would be happy to see a proper and entirely executed modernization programme for the TAM. Also the Rhm Lynx platform would a good replacement too. Anyhow, thanks for the video, I consider it as the Christmas present pf mine from you dear Detective. Merry Chistmas and Happy New Year for you.

Yo me pregunto porque las autoridades militares de Argentina no ven como son equipados los mejores tanques del mundo. Todos tienen grande polleras blindadas para proteccion de las orugas, uno de los lugares mas comprometidos en un evento belico. Otros detalles serian a revisar como para hacer maquinas de gran utilidad en caso de conflicto.

With Ukraine having both Marder 1A3 (performing well I hear) and Leo1A5 (and its variants like the Gepard and bridge layers) I wonder if these could be useful.

It looks like the love child of a Leopard I and an MTLB..

Wonder how well trained and equiped the Argentine armed forces are now compared to how they were back when they lost the Falklands war.

El tam 2ip es una versión mejorada del brindaje pero no es factible porque argentina no busca esas mejoras si no todo lo contrario argentina quiere un tanque liviano con munición flecha israeli y que a la hora del combate sea rápido y facil de maniobrar y disparar en movimiento es diesel eléctrico y esta preparado para el combate nocturno cosa que en la actualidad no hay muchos en la región aparte de tener toda la tecnología israeli ❤️🇦🇷❤️

Someone noticed that the turret is similar to the one in concept 3

Kaman chiriguey ... viteh' 😁😎

Argentina has a New Tank! Is it a Marder? Yes!

1:35 well, thats more complicated than it appears

Really, a "domestic" product? Have you ever looked up the TAM in Jane's Armour and Artillery between 1985 and 1992? The TAM design was a product of German design and engineering. The TAM family was based on the Marder. In the early production models the diesel engines, 105mm guns and fire controls were imported from the German firm, Thyssen-Henschel. The same German firm offered an upgraded version, the TH 301 for export.

Am i late

Given the warm relations between Milei and Zelenski, and the high degree of commonality with Ukraine's existing German equipment, I won't be surprised if some or all of the AMTs end up in Ukraine. They are definitely looking into that. Even with the Marder chassis, it's probably a logistical challenge.

12:56 ☠

it is a marder body with a leopard turret

4:07 such good armor ? in wt it cant even take 30mm

Maybe not the most powerfull or pretty but its from national fabrication🤙👍🏻

Nice mobile coffin though

Simple leopard 1

This tank assembled in Argentina but made in Germany

yeaaaahhhh Leopard 1 Auf Marder 🤣Our pretty boy ❤ Argentina had the potential to be a military world player but failed bc of the instability... yep, like on every other aspect 😭

La historia de los cañones de fabricación Argentinos en croaciakzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsmbnbN-s8CWoXU.htmlsi=nJQHtIwDfPwPxfXg que pararon un guerra

Ein Veranstalter Panzer von 1979 ..... ein gutes Hartziel für die Russen in der Ukraine oder die Chinesischen Leo 2 Panzer !

If they could build enough of them they should sell TAMs to Ukraine as Ukraine has shown optics and decent fire control trump armour every time and if it can pop a T-72 by getting the first round off and then get out of dodge to fight another day then that's really all you need.

So, its a german tank.....

TAM EL TERROR DE SION Y LOS ANGLOFILOS JAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!

Wait, we had tanks? xdd

I thought the Ukraine war had proven that tanks in general, and lightly armoured tanks in particular, are fundamentally obsolete and militarily completely useless. I certainly wouldn't want to be stuck I one of these coffins on a modern battlefield.

No hay como los Chalenguer para hacer maceteros en los campos ukranianos.

0:35 Congratulations to the worst camera man ever

Shermans were better armoured😢

W guenono gasta prtroleo solo usa carburo jajsjajajaja

Funny how an infantery platoon armed with 50cal can perfectly destroy an argentinian tank 🤣🤣🤣

We must sold it to Ukrania

Looks.. susceptible to instances of misfortune cooking off incidents, and implosions.. bulky and sluggish, Molotov Cocktails perhaps.. if any, anti fash comrades happen to come across this, solidarity.

MALVINAS war folks! NOT Falklands war! Haven't you seen a map in your lives!? Have you ever heard the "colonialist" word!?

Hmm. Maybe Argentina would be interested in selling a few dozen of these to Ukraine? Or perhaps donating them in exchange for a promise of some Leopard 2s from Germany a few years down the road?

Bueno bonito y barato, el tam era un excelente proyecto. No hay nada mas dañino para las naciones intelectuales que una moneda pobre y el socialismo.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Con el Loco de Milei los venderá 😂😂😂

una bazofia de tanque

Después de ver lo tanques que se baten a duelo en Ucrania, me parece un tanque de blanco fácil para volar lo con un misil convencional.

El TAM existe gracias al gobierno militar.....que penso y planifico a futuro....ni ellos pensarian que en el 2024 aun seguirian rodando algunos....

Ésos tanques los utiliza chile para jugar tiró al blanco!.....😂😂😂😂😂
