Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we investigate modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the 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, 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.

South African MLRS are *very* overlooked, thank you for making a video on them.

Everybody is fascinated by South African weapons. I read all the books and the birder war really needs a movie

i love how southafrica made their own weapons to meet their needs since they have alot of embargos. and most of their weapon systems are the best in their class.

What I always miss in movies about combat vehicles is the most important thing. The driver. It's always about the guns, but the driver is always forgotten in the cutscenes. Without a driver, every tank is a sitting duck.

There was a time when i was very proud about the SADF. Since it became the SANDF its declining is just plausible.

Another good video. But, even though I like the South African systems so much, let's accept that the real legend is the BM-21 Grad.

@limpunsing2229 Жыл бұрын

Based on Soviet BM-21 Grad

@mikearmstrong8483 6 ай бұрын

Why do people think that just because there are visual similarities that means western systems must always be copies of Soviet sytems? 1) West Germany had an identical system in use before the BM-21. The US used similar systems as far back as 1944. 2) Engineering problems often need the same solutions regardless of who is doing the designing, so identical parallel development is very common; that doesn't mean somebody had to have copied anybody else. 3) It is actually well documented proven fact that many Soviet/Russian and Chinese weapon systems are copies of western systems, since they have generally lagged behind the West in R&D, but not in espionage.

@@mikearmstrong8483 Because SADF captured the systems during Operation Savannah in Angola in 1976, copied them and improved them - even if it did not origin from where....who do you think invented the MLRS in WW2? (Soviet BM-13 Katyusha) Also you think we designed the G5???? Go read up about Dr Gerald Bull and his legacy.
