I collect Swiss military surplus. It is neat seeing some of the gear in this production. It is very good, tough quality gear but heavy.

Ich weiss noch als ich im Jahr 1984 Als Jungschütze das 57er gefasst hab,wurde wir schnell gute Freunde.Als Unsere Einheit in den 90er umgerüstet wurde,hab ich zu gesagt:Jaaa da ist es nun das Brandneue Mattel90 Spielzeuggewehr.....

20:36 bro simulated his death and almost got runover by tank

Is this French?

Great video!! In Chile we used the SIG 510-4 (Stg 57) made by Berretta and the SIG 540 family made by FAMAE. Sweet guns. Some army units still use the 510 for training and DMR , and Carabineros (the National Gendarmerie Police) use it for border security in the mountains, after 60 years they shoot like the first day.

Posting this here, but can you do a video on what it is that makes Swiss GP11 such a quality cartridge compared to its counterparts? Or even a video specifically on the stg 510's peculiar bolt head roller design and ejector, possibly covering why the swiss design seems like the rolls royce of roller delays.

froschfressersprache was für eine frechheit.

Damals hatten wir noch eine wirklich brauchbare Armee. Heute tut man nur noch so als ob man noch was Brauchbares hätte.

J'ai fait mon armée en Suisse en 1982

I got mine in 1975, it's an excellent weapon, I was in the armored troops, tank grenadier in Thun

In the US, our training is not realistic. Then again, we fight enough military conflicts to compensate - trial by fire. In the US military, we fire blanks for training but have BFAs. And we would never launch an infantry assault with our tanks, it's too dangerous. You can see in the video an infantryman having to quickly roll out of the way of the tracks of the tank. Almost a casualty from training. But Switzerland has not fought a real conflict in centuries, so I suppose they need to keep their servicemen and women ready through a more realistic training. The explosions around the training participants could lead to injuries too. Having said this, I must add: The 1985 tactics presented in this video are no longer existent. In the 1990's, the size of the Swiss army was reduced to facilitate a more 'guerilla' type of warfare. Before that, as shown in the video, the Swiss army would dig in and wait for the enemy. Why the change? 1) Suffer less casualties by giving up the "Plateau", which is assumed to be the objective of the enemy who wants to use Switzerland as a shortcut to attack other countries; and 2) Superiority of airplanes/drones (new) that render trench warfare quite ineffective - we see that in Ukraine where troops that sit idle for too long don't last.

Поэтому из-за таких штурмовых винтовок Швейцария 🇨🇭 ни с кем и не воюет.Пока солдат вставит магазин,враг уже захватит страну.😂

Would it be possible to share those CAD files perhaps?

Interesting mod for the Pz 68 to look like a T-72 - never seen before!

Cool, die bösen haben H&K G3 Gewehre. Welcher Nachbar aus dem Norden da wohl die Invasion in die Schweiz versucht? Aber ehrlich mal liebe Schweizer, nicht mal der Gröfaz war doof genug, die Schweiz anzugreifen. Euer Land verteidigt sich selbst. Die Topologie der Schweiz ist ein Alptraum für jeden feindlichen General.

Sg sih 510 army chilean

Ab in die Ostukraine, die boosten die Russen weg

De quand la Suisse était un pays et son armée une vraie armée crédible et craignable.

This look like something out of Wolfenstein ! And i love it

Hi, can you please make also a video about the cleaning? I'm always very unsure when I clean my 57. Thanks! 🙂

Why did they teach them to put the non shooting hand in front of their face so that it slammes into their mouth when firing?

Хорошая попытка, военком! Но, нет! 🖐️😑

Dog an Pony show!

It looks like a WW2 movie.

waffen ss😀

thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stumbled on your channel, what a gold mine!

Das schweizer tarnmuster ist das deutsche Leibermuster von 1945

As a Greek / Swiss, and permanent member of the Greek National Guard myself (...and with my half brother, being a medic in the Swiss army) I love this! Very good vintage footage!

The 2 leg support was also a disaster. Totally bad design. I once had the pleasure of holding an M16 and despite its age it was in a completely different league. There is more patriotism being spread here instead of sticking to the truth. Long after the war, Switzerland was extremely modern and innovative when it came to military technology. But politicians have stalled this, a good example of self-constructed fighter aircraft. After that, most of the company's own defense industry was limited to 0815 products. The only exception to this was Oerlikon Bührle.

It was a robust system. But also with a negative side. The recoil when firing should not be underestimated. The length and weight were always a problem. When I was retrained on Stgw 90, it was a quantum leap to Stgw 57. I didn't shed a tear for the Stgw 57 for a second.

The Panzer 61/68 shown here in production was a Swiss development that was more or less a flop. Not really modern at the time and the tanks had teething problems, gearboxes and electrics that could only be partially remedied when the tank and the Centurion were replaced by Leo 2 A4s. Nevertheless, the Swiss army was quite well equipped until the mid-1980s. Several hundred battle tanks: Centurion Pz61/68 and almost 600 combat aircraft: Mirage, Hunter, Venom, Vampire and later 160 F5E Tigers were added.

Swiss Infantry was a brand back then.

Cool.

fun fact those where real soviets :P

Wonderful...... Thank you

Is this from the 1970s?

Das ist die beste Schule🫵🏻

That’s some recoil!

These vids are very educational ❤😊

These soldiers are damn brave, they really know their land and the tactics they use

I love how theyre speaking german and its being translated to french

Beautiful camouflage

17:40 Le mec avec la meilleure tâche

I dig the cammo colors. I'm a big fan of orange.

based switzerland the Swiss, even though they are neutral, take the saying "if you want peace, prepare for war" very seriously because being neutral does not mean peace in fact, history is repeating examples of this, better be prepared for the worst than not, even there is a certain tropical country that is the greatest military and economic power in Latin America that I live in that doesn't want to prepare for the worst either for disasters or for war the people are more worried about who will win in a reality show and football than the future of the nation, and thinks everything is fine just because he changed politicians, both in the presidency and in congress and to councilor and state and federal deputy, but he barely changes anything. 😂

What seems curious is that swiss soldiers are quite long haired.

11:50 and afterwards reminds me of that scene in Predator where Arnie and his guys completely annihilate a part of the jungle with their firepower

I gotta ask, what language is this
