Finally: Germany & Elon Musk Reveal Their New Powerful Tank
Finally: Germany & Elon Musk Reveal Their New Powerful Tank.
It seems without doubt that Elon Musk is a true revolutionizer! And so, Musk has not long ago taken on the the task of creating a supertank like no other on the planet. This idea was prompted by Russia’s aggression. The project to design the tank is being implemented jointly with a defense consortium from Germany. Such a pairing cannot help but make us picture the inevitable success of the project. Putin's army will be left with no chance of winning this war.
Note that Elon Musk's technologies have already played a significant role in Russia's war against Ukraine. In the early days of Russian aggression, Musk provided Ukraine with his satellite Internet system. And this really paid off!

First off, this is not a tank. It is an infantry fighting vehicle. Yes, there is a big difference. Tanks do not have 30mm auto cannons. They have as 120 or 125mm main cannon which is almost always manually reloaded.
T RU tanks have Automat reload shells for 125 MM main cannon
120 mm smooth bore is the choice there going with.
@@obivankeno2068 Not U.S. Tanks. Auto loader is bad. The ammo is exposed and turret blows off. The U.S. manual loading system keeps ammo in safer containers that have blow out panels that goes upward.

Ur comparing success in life to some video praising killing machines, if we keep competing with each other the spiral Will continue, cooperation is needed, new systems are needed
the most thing people forget is, to put the turret backwards, drive full speed and then always shoot, the tank will start flying
Not every tank is a ZSU-57-2
lol how few people will get that reference.
A TEAM!!!!!!!!!!
Found the glitcher
I forget which GTA game that was.
There's a big difference between a tank that you can go to battle but a great tank brings you back and a big difference in the crews when they are in the thick of it
As a ex retired Abrams Tank Commander if I knew my life was in danger I without hesitation choose my Abrams without even thinking about it. Check out the great tank Battle in Iraq I was involved in. We destroyed 436 Iraqi tanks in six hours even though we were out gunned 10 to 1 in the Battle and didn't lose a single tank. Enough said.
That is one of the greatest tank-battles in newer history. They used russian thanks right? The same type they use in Ukraine atm? Those tanks has a significant weak-spot. Is this true? I read that you guys found the weakspot in the iraq-war. Because of their missilesystem you just aim high on the chassie right?
How did you survive missle attacks from afar? I play war games in battle field 2 and as soon as see tanks, I find a high spot and shoot them and they usually go town in 3 missile attacks. I believe new back mounted missile launchers now have range of 5 km which is crazy. Imagine 20 of them firing down at you.
The tanks used in Iraq had a bad armor compared to the modern day Russian tanks, also the Abrams armor is outdated, most of the modern APFSDS rounds can penetrate the hull front (both UFP and LFP) and the crew is (mostly) dead... The side armor os not even made to stop APFSDS/Tandem charge rounds, only HEAT and HE
The US army is trying to replace it btw
Erik Hoel, most Iraqi tanks were outdated, built in the 60-70's and made to stop shells from the 60's
I remember seeing about this "tank". It's just an Infantry fighting vehicle, not much a tank. Supposedly it's the most advanced infantry fighting vehicle ever made.
Seems like another version of the Puma IFV
All good …..as long as they’re not electric….
@@anakabu7374 Yup I feel so.
@@KillaMdy it would be more like a hybrid for much better fuel efficiency by using the tesla batteries and AC motors powered by a some kind of internal combustion engine powered by delsal or methane gas preferably methane gas

War is no longer about tanks. YOU should know that war will be fought from the air.
“YOU” lol. I don’t take orders from you, you ain’t my senior.
Dudes the first entrepreneur in our time. Name someone else that continues to advance our stuff so much rather then remaining stagnant. Imagination plays a huge roll
Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, whoever is leading Tencent, a long list really, Musk didn't actually invent much that is original, only thing I can actually think about is maybe the rocket that can land, the rest was already done and he either copied it with more lies or bought it and added lot of lies. Even electrical infantry fighting vehicles are already developed in the US without Musk.
So this will be an electric, rocket-boosted, tunnel-boaring, internet tank with AI drivers? EDIT: With live Twitter feeds.
Hehe 😉
Gotta love Elon Musk
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD if putin bomb nuclear this tank cant hold even 1 sec XD
And the "demonstrator" will most likely be a painted cardboard tube... 😁
Don't forget the social media platform it rides on!
I was at the Infantry Center when the politicians decided that the Bradley wasn't armored enough, despite the troops telling anyone that would listen that the idea was that it was light and quick. Add armor and it becomes slow and lazy. They added the armor and then realized they needed to also beef up the transmission. They not only added tons of weight and cost but, made it much slower and unable to swim when it was combat loaded.
Speed-Armour-Weapon size... pick any two :)
that is the evolution of german tanks in WW2 by adding and adding and then the Tiger or King Tiger tanks became slower and slower cause the powertrains suffered too much from all added upon.
As seen so often when requirements are assembled by a committee and an unspoken tenet seems to be that every weapon system needs to have that flavor of 'swiss army knife" utility to meet as many mission requirements as possible. They appear unable or inept to stand back 50 meters and imagine the whole design as written with all the "afterthought" requirements piled on.

Well it all depends on the doctrine, what you want to use the vehicle for. I guess, ideally you would probably prefer to have both types of vehicles available for different tasks, but that would be logistically more difficult and also very expensive.
Elon Musk is making a tank with a defense consortium in Germany. Interesting!
Germany:look at my new tank guys Europe: oh shi-
So the Lynx IFV with a 120 mm gun? I dont see what Elon Musk has to do with this. Also Germany will definitely not switch out its domestically produced Leopard 2s for this lol.
Bingo Bango, this video is just thrown together BS with buzzwords to get view., Totally irrelevant to anyone with basic understanding of the topic.
@@Remsster great time for youtube to remove dislikes. I have a browser addon so i can still see, suggest everyone else also gets it and takes a look...
But the technique is well described, even connection to satellite communication!
Also, how is it an IFV if it has a 120mm? Since when do you fight infantry with a tank gun that shoots steel rods?
@@diesirae8954 Good point. The chassi is from an IFV but this would probably be classed as a light tank.
Germany always knew how to build good Infantry Fighting Vehicles. The ,,Schützenpanzer Puma‘‘ is in my view by far the best IFV in Europe, maybe even the best in the World.
I agree. CV90 comes second by my opinion. To bad the Yanks didn't finnish the deal to buy the Puma as well. The reason was: no vehicle is better than the Bradley IFV.🤣 U.S. and European countries should develop together more frequently.

@@radenkogaracic641 Nice try, Ivan 😜
Wehraboo lol
Angela took care of that idea; the German Army has fallen way behind the rest of Europe and NATO in general.
All tanks are vulnerable without Air Superiority. Long range guided missiles, UAV's, artillery and minefields do not allow tanks to move freely to overrun infantry positions if you do not have air superiority to suppress these threats. That has been proven many times. They just become very expensive coffins!
This new tank will be perfect target for Russia's uber-successful Lancet drone! 🙂
как и любой другой танк !
When rolled out, this tank likely won't face an Armata, yet ;-)
So they have to 1- delelop the tank 2 - produce a prototype and pass all validation loops 3 - supply some units on the field to get feedback from crews and implement upgrades 4 - receive fundind to start mass production Each step is about 5 years. Yes, we are going to see this tank on battlefields within a couple weeks.
Yeah, Russia will have won the conflict, signed a peace treaty with a defeated Ukraine, and commenced the reconstruction of liberated regions before the first prototype has completed its test runs.
Nice try putin you're screwed👍
The latest "miracle" tank that germans produced...wass a failure
"Mass production" means tens or hundreds of thousands of units produced. "Serial production" is up to a few thousand units. Tanks are almost manually assembled, one by one. Your points number 2 and 3 are included in point number 1. You can't develop a product without prototypes, which have to constantly evolve while you're developing the manufacturing process. A lot of great features are abandoned because they can not be reliably or cheaply produced in series. It goes roughly like this: 1. Do market research and analysis, while brainstorming. 2. Brain storm, mind-map, discuss ideas. 3. create concepts, many sketches, 3d models. 4. develop a final concept, renders, create a clear project. 5. build and test prototypes. 6. change the project. 7. build and test more prototypes. 4. develop manufacturing processes while changing prototypes... all these steps could be squeezed in 5 years, depending on the size and quality of your team. And also, it's such a low volume production in the end, that you could call even the final tanks prototypes.
Germany can't even refurbish a dozen of thier old Leapard 2 tanks, how in the hell are they going to develop and build these electric tanks in any sort of number thats viable for the battlefield?
Germany learned from their transmission problems from ww2 So they removed the entire transmission
i am very much impressed by your new technology electric/electronics tank.....i served pakistan air force for 30 years and i can understand how dangerous for low flying targets. a real wonderful job done by Elon musk the great .

Vatnik thinks sensible ammo storage and blowout panels are expensive 💀
Great weapon, but does it come with a map app to tell the operator where they can find the next charging station?🤣
it has a diesel generator
Only poor laugh at hight tech because they can not afford it 😂😂😂😂
Can’t wait for Musk to develop the AT-AT Walker.. That’s the large and very tall 4 legged - Transport and basically a battleship on legs from Star Wars.
I cant get my head around the waker surely a small tracked vehicle with exelent rubber type pads on the tracks similar to the Ripsaw vehicles built Howe & Howe or wheeled vehicle like the small 6x6 ATVs
And we all seen how that went 😁😁
You mean for him to have engineers develop it and then he take credit like SpaceX and Tesla, right?
Nah the AT TE more stable andd did imagine cheaper to produce fuel to size while not as powerful as the AT AT can be used in more environments and has proven its use in the clone wars and rebels
We just need to bring back the FV4005 with its 183mm.
If this man stopped meddling in X and began focusing more of his efforts on his wonder projects, his Tesla may become the new Atlas.
Ok I get the advantages of an electric tank, but where do you charge your batteries out in the battlefield? And how many days does it take to charge one? The electricity requirements would be enormous! I would imagine that a hybrid system (generator replenishing the power as it's used up) would be better
...and just imagine how awesome it would be if it can be disabled or remotely controlled via a software hack. Fun times.
And also emp attacks
I assume it’s solar panel
@@gabrielblessed2428 most likely not because just alone fragments will destroy it
@@gabrielblessed2428 in a cloudy day they will have coffe time.
The first electric drive tank was made 90 years ago. Later a tank competing with the Tiger 2 built by Porsche was another example during ww2. There have been many designs based on the obvious advantage of using 2 electric motors for track propulsion and the highly maneuverable steering it provides. Maybe now the technology will overcome the negatives.
EMP
@Nick Caspar It was Powered by Gasoline it wasn't electric powered. General Electric makes Electric Engines yes but this wasn't Electric. GE makes all kinds of engines. So your information it not correct. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holt_gas_electric_tank
MAUS was electric made by Porsche.Too heavy 180 T too slow
Defect No.1 = Batteries and recharge! Just how large is the battery for such a vehicle and how long can it keep going? A heavy Tesla can go 2 hours or so. This beast could go what, an hour? before re-charge and from where will the re-charge come??? Diesel generators that take 12 hours to recharge such a massive machine, using a hundred gallons of diesel?????? GET REAL!!!
@@EarlT357 It runs on a turbine and generator. The batteries are just buffer for extra power on demand.
I hope this vehicle is not too expensive. What the point in making a really good infantry fighting vehicle or tank if the military can afford only a few dozen of them without digging too deep into their pockets.
I read about the last time Germany tried that with Russia. It didn't work out so well for them. Also, back then Germany caught Russia by surprise. This time around Germany is a hollow shell of itself while Russia is much more powerful. It would be like a mouse trying to pick a fight with a cat. Please stop while you are behind.
So, a lightly armored but very fast AFV will overcome high-velocity anti-tank weapons by employing maneuverabilty? I don't think so. The French Army has been pushing that concept since the end of WW2. But no other army appears lining up to follow the French lead. Can a 80 kph AFV outrun an ATGM even on roads, much less open terrain? Don't hold your breath.
but u forgot there's not and passive and active defense systems like a Hard/Soft Kill APS.
@@nikkotan2840 A hit is a hit is a hit. Once you hit your target, the probability of bad things happening to it increase astronomically. Active and passive systems do not cover every spot on a target from every angle of attack, nor do they always operate as designed after days or weeks in combat. Finally, if active and passive systems are the difference between surviving a hit for slow and fast AFVs, what is the advantage of high speed and mobility vis-a-vis survivabilty?
It wouldn't be able to dodge a atgm, bit maybe the speed could mean the opposing soldiers don't have time to get their atgm guy in position in time between seeing it approaching and it getting in range to attack or get behind cover? Javelins have a very long range though so it seems unlikely. Perhaps this tank would be quieter than normal ones which could help.
I suspect that one reason Elon is involved in this project is for the alloy in the armour. I would not be surprised if the tank uses active energy weapons to destroy or detonate incoming ordinance. If it can't hit, it can't do any damage. Also, I don't know what gives you the idea that this monstrosity will be restricted to 50 kph. The Americans have been building tanks that go 100 kph for over 35 years now. And that's a heavy main battle tank. I expect this tank, with the advanced electric propulsion from Tesla will be cabable of around 200 kph. Of course, any solid information in that area would be strictly classified.
The concept of fast light vehicles isn't to outspeed antitank projectiles. The fast speed is meant to get the vehicle into position faster, less time spent in vulnerable positions, faster ability in breaking LOS from the threat or in the case of drones and top attack missiles able to put some cover over it. The technology to detect threats via laser warning is ancient and effective. There's newer technology such as radars that can detect other threats. Also your mention of high-velocity anti tank munitions don't really exist in any other form besides another tank cannon. Most ATGMs and rockets have a velocity of under 1000m/s. A good example being the Kornet atgm, it's old but still used even in the conflict of Ukraine. It has a speed of only 300m/s which is plenty of time for modern protection systems to detect or the crew to pop smoke grenades which is an even better advantage for the case of faster and lighter tanks. Another protection system that benefit these light and fast AFVs, old as armored conflict itself? infantry. Infantry is used to provide targets, detect/eliminate threats for the vehicle and the vehicle's higher agility allows it to get into an infantry supporting positions much quicker. Just because the fast light vehicles isn't every nations main doctrine doesn't mean they don't have vehicles in that role. The U.S. has the Stryker AGS, Bradleys, that new light tank just adobted. Germany has the PUMA and Marder IFVs. The U.K. has the Warrior. Ukrain has BMPs and whatever this new vehicle will turn out to be. This isn't WW2 anymore so the use of these lighter and faster vehicles is more relevant when coupled with modern intel and reconnaissance equipment.
Exactly like in the main picture ! 100% reliable video!👌
And the text in a thumbnail. Too bad the world wasnt working on a tank to fight against america when it was destroying middle eastern and african countries. USA can ba a bad cop, russia cant. Quite a hipocrisy. =)

Elon Musk: let's put X in almost all our company name😂
One thing i must say, no matter who makes a thing do not let your prior preconceptions about it cloud your judgement of the device. This thought process of "oh hey it was made by musk" so it gets a pass where people do not look at it critically. One huge example of this is hyperloop, something massively hyped but became a fruitless endeavor. It is also not hard to leverage a well known name to enter into new markets due to the rather lack of competency on the public scale.
Today names sell all... Bottle company, and hamburger company, can sell You all kind of chemicals to eat, just for the name they are using... Same as Ukraine "special operation"... You use one or two television sources to get info, and base conclusions on that... Check it first, what is written underline with small to see letters...
i think it is the other way around 😂
@@abyssaldision5134 have you seen where the hyperloop has gone? A slow underground taxi way that is less efficient than every other public trqnsportation, not to mention way slower. That virgin hyperloop just laid off half its staff due to rinning out of money due to the impracticalites of maintaing that large of a vacumn tube.
I agree, does it meet functional requirements when the track plates hit the terrain? Will it be bearing the Tesla flag or SpaceX flag? Brand equity case in point - Ford's Edsel.... FFFF
@@abyssaldision5134 why? He's got a point. what's your evidence against it? Just slapping elon's name on it doesn't automatically make it a good fighting vehicle.
For the first time in military history you will hear the order “Tesla Main Battle Tanks, transform and merge into Elonatron” you know he will do it, anything he played with as a kid he turns into real things.
Elon said that he will no longer allow his starlink to be used for military purposes
As long as they don't use lithium-ion. Those blow up a lot like a gas tank if they're given a chance.
The coolest things are the active defence systems. They didn't explain it very well but vehicles from light (Humvee-type) to heavy (Abrams M1) can employ ADS using sophisticated sensors and targeting systems to deploy plasma-based and/or projectile/explosive-based defences. The ADS detects, targets and neutralizes anti-tank munitions and drones in short order. I'm not sure about real world efficacy against all munitions but in controlled tests a Humvee fitted with early models could chop the warhead off an RPG while in flight
And what about a normal tank shell.for an example, with the new 152mm gun on the T-14 Armata 1000mm penetration?
@@ujhazilaszlo5885 There are no public records of efficacy against tank shells, however, in a general sense the ADS will be able to detect and deploy against munitions including tank shells, mortars, MANPADS (portable missiles), drones and RPGs (which have small cross-sectional areas). Will it be 100% successful against artillery or tank shells? Unknown but having ADS makes survivability a lot more likely than not having ADS. It may be the case that only heavy vehicles like tanks would be able to deploy ADS capable of handing artillery and tank shells without damaging the vehicle itself, which may be an issue with light armour. What's really impressive is the ADS ability to protect against ambush. If the Russian tanks had ADS they would be able to neutralise or mitigate strikes from NLAWs and Javelins. It's hard to know exactly how far along NATO is with ADS it might be perfect already or it may only be practical in a vehicle with large stores of electrical power, such as a tank with an electric transmission (Porsche WWII, Elon Musk and Germany in 2022)
What world do you live in.

Germany had crazy big super tanks during WWII. All of them were so big & expensive, they couldn't be manufactured or sunk in the mud.
Not all ,of them, mainly the bigger Tanks like the Tigers had issues dealing with 5 t 34 at once…
@@arminiuscherusci4410 only in a complex of 1 vs 4 in combat 😂 learn some military history.... You read too much propaganda....
Germany had some heavy tanks, but the overwhelming majority of German tanks were Panzer IV. And those cliches (too big, too heavy, too expensive,...) don't really apply to the Panzer IV. It's a medium weight (25t) tank and significantly lighter than both the T-34 and the M4 Sherman, which were both over 30t.
Tank Hypertrophy certainly is a hazard manufacturers and their paymasters should be wary of; because bigger seldom means better in Tank R&D; especially if the enemy can appear from multiple directions at once in Tanks that are smaller and cheaper yet have the firepower to do the job.
Also even transporting them to the battlefield alone was basically impossible.
E-Tanks are so important. Its good to know that we dont leave a C02 Footprint in the country we completly destroy. Hopefully they have chargingstations for us so we can invade them.😅
Such a large vehicle with such a small cannon
All you showed was from Rheinmetall, particularly the KF41 which is already availabe. Elon Musk has no affiliation with them or any project whatsoever. He also has no technology to offer them since what Elon does best is make modern tech affordable in mass production. Rheinmetall is however peak-tech, cutting-edge and doesn't require high volume Tesla-style production.
The difference between a tank and the other fighting vehicles are that tanks are heavy, thick armour, bug cannons, hold 2-5 or 2-6 crew each with its own key roll, used for the frontal part of an advance, the one vehicle who is vulnerabke in urban but a beast in the open fields most of the time, escorted by infantry, not carrying them, used for support and heavy assult Unlike apc that is basically a taxi cab to take troops to the field, nor lav that is well, a lot like tank but with thinner armour and less firepower, holds some infantry
You dort know how the german army uses IFVs 🤦♂️
Man I always wondered how they kept bugs away! Then things gotta be pesky in a tank. But now I know they have bug cannons to rid the bugs that's awesome!
Armored panzer chariots(APC) are support to a tank as it is in need of repair crew and logistics. Boots on the ground is needed to secure a victory and the chariot has been used through history to send the heroes to the battle after victory is settled. Some consider that a truck would be better but it suit the same purpose of a tank being a mobile wall.
That's one of the reasons we kept the rifled barrel on the Challenger, to support infantry with the HESH round. Would have as much protection as a Land Rover if hit with HESH at 5 km. Longest kill, Challenger using HESH at around 5 kms, forget the gunner's name but think the Regiment was The Royal Irish Hussars.
les nazis avaient pondu le MAUS ( la souris ) le marrant c'est le temps qu'ils ont mis à réaliser qu'avec ces 100 T il ne pouvait passer sur aucun pont. the Nazis had laid the MAUS (the mouse) the funny thing is how long it took them to realize that with these 100 T it could not pass over any bridge.
Not only discussing tanks, drivers, commanders, observers, strategy, they also have an effect on it..
Tanks are indeed awesome. OTOH, with all the state-of-the-art tank killer munitions the crew has got to have real trepidation near the battlefield, perhaps like a submarine crew under a fleet of enemy warships. Salutes to both crews!
tank dont operate alone though there will be aa guns carried on tank hull following it
Even though not a tank, this "little engine that could" may prove to be a real game changer on the ground and in the air. Most impressive.
Game changer is thrown around way too much nowadays. Cheap drones have been a game changer but not much else is likely to be for a while.
Tank has always been an anti-infantry unit. When introduced Japan defeated the chinese militia with a single tank. The reason why is because by the time you just couldn't kill the machine gunner inside the tank with a rifle. Tank became obsolete as anti-tank weapons were introduced.
@@robertagren9360 the idea that tanks are obselete is wrong. They have not only been anti infantry, they were also anti fortification. Tanks combined with infantry is a pairing that works much better than infantry alone. Tanks provide cover for the infantry and the infantry is better at spotting destroying shoulder carried anti tank weapons. The tank can also destroy enemy fortifications so that infantry doesnt have as hard of a time clearing it out.
this video is a great example of why it was a bad idea to get rid of youtube dislikes
@bengreen1012 Well put. There's been hacks banding around chanting "hurr durr Tanks are obsolete" since the end of the First World War. They just can't accept that reality keeps proving them wrong 😂. Ironically it's weapon systems that were actually rendered obsolete, like Dive Bombers and Torpedo Bombers, that they never bring up / tend to not know about. (both aircraft mentioned were effectively useless against allied AAA advances by 1943/44, as the laws of physics prevented any real options for either aircraft to overcome such an obstacle; lesser navies were still vulnerable but that only lasted so long into the postwar era)
history has shown the absolute ineffectiveness of the wunderwaffe too many times
The project of tanks with wings:
And how will you charge all of these electric tanks? You can't build charging stations in battlefields. If tank runs out of power, while fighting, nothing else can run. Also, components on electric vehicles, wear out faster, because of lack of lubrication. EMP, is another concern.

I think whenever you take this damn tank out onto the battlefield, Enemy rockets will be directed towards you instantly. Then you can hide behind a tree or anywhere. Germany never won.
Electric tanks can easily transformed to underwater submersible with close circuit rebreather for silent lurking before landing troops , easy back in water for coverage and can also become nuclear powered if they make a Giga Tank . This technology will evolve in battlefield and in 20 years will be on planes , trains , trucks , cars ...
The vulnerability of heavy main battle tanks both to drones and relatively small and inexpensive missiles has changed the order of battle significantly. A 44 ton Bradley replacement is probably as big as combat vehicles will get going forward.
I've seen a few people say this, however I'm finding it very hard to believe a MBT such as say a Challenger 2, Abrams or Leopard, MBT's that can survive several hits from t-72 or t-90, would not survive the tiny payload of a drone. You got any links?
@@GatecrasherSlim it’s because roof armour is always quite thin on mbts to save weight in order to remain within certain limits, though aps systems like trophy and afganit will help to reduce or negate these weaknesses moving forward, though with Russia’s lack of success in Ukraine casts doubt on how effective their systems are, or if they are simply propaganda pieces. I have more faith in trophy. So yes, if something hits the roof with enough oomph it can and will destroy the tank, Russian tanks are especially vulnerable due to their ammo storage methods.
@@elliotsmith102 very interesting thank you I wonder why russian designers do not change their approach to tanks design I have seen pictures of lines of tanks with the turrets some meters away They look very vulnerable
@@gino3286 yeah you’d think that they’d have noticed how unsuccessful their designs were even in Chechnya and learned from their mistakes.
@@elliotsmith102 the future is of fast and stealth weapons when I see a big helicopter I am puzzled it looks like a huge pidgeon to me but pidgeons are more difficult to hit
A tank still under development will hardly have an impact on this conflict
This feels like history on repeat. Will we now hear a german minister ask the crowd if they want total war?
They didn't show one Javelin missile being defended because Javelin missiles attack from above and hit the turret! A Javelin doesn't hit from the sides!🤦🏼♂️
Reinmetall developed this without Elon, and will make and later develop them in Hungary also - the factory is already built up at Zalaegerszeg (near to Zala Zone). The decision and the contract was made years before the War in Ukraine.
It would only take one hypersonic missile.... and BOOOOM, no more E-Tank !!!! huhahaha
Germany the country that finances putins war is going to develop and build their new tank in hungary that has a government sympathetic to putin Who else is involved , serbia and belarus ?
I like how they decided to show a clip where they didn't account for the javelin's minimum arming distance when he mentioned how they skillfully employed those weapon systems 4:32
Bro thanks for mentioning i was about to beat the crap out this man saying “ukrainian army skillfully employing these weapons”
That was an NLAW, not a Javelin, but the 20 metre minimum arm distance comment still stands
@@64mickh thanks for the correction
Exactly my thought lol
Magnificent creation of this tank ..very advanced
Advantages of electric tanks are good and all, but they will lack the range of normal tanks, hybrid engine to charge the vehicle on the go are a better option for the militaries
This remind me the great Tiger tank in WW2! Go Germany💪
I think it's safe to say the original purpose of *'Starlink'* was always for purposes of war
just like a knife, whether you use it to cook or kill, both are available.
@@overrated3733 And mobile phones, binoculars, boots, gloves etc
Naa maybe in the heads of hardline politicians and military leader but not in Elons mind. That would be a secondary benifit from his satelite system.
@@netmannetman8124 who else is using Starlink besides the military and possibly rich people on safari expeditions?
@@03stmlax for the time beeing more wealthy people. But the intention going forward from Elon Musk is to make Starlink accessible to the world masses. I just read that an american airline recently signed a contract with Starlink to provide wifi for their entire aircraft fleet and more airlines are about to join.
Humanity got too good at war...where is the good old 1 shot with the bois in line and than 2 min of reloading
History repeats it's self, as during WW2 many Panzer's where left behind on the battlefield for lack of fuel. How are they to recharge these devices in remote locations, solar panels? Germany at that time was making synthetic fuels from coal to meet the demand for energy.
An electronic tank WILL lack the stamina to compete until significant improvements are made to energy consumption of tanks. It doesn't have less armor because armor is useless, they opted out of conventional armor because an electric tank cannot operate under such weight. Honestly the Abrams is still far more superior in nearly ever scope.
Porsche built the 200 ton Maus in 1944, and that was a Hybrid as well as Willy Porsche was an Eleckro Engineer, it could hardly move and as shown in Ukraine even 40 ton tanks bog down quickly!
Dude... the maus was never even finished. It was built in 1945 not 44. It was nearly 80 years ago. Don't you think that MAYBE just MAYBE technology advanced since then? And yes basically any vehicle can bog down in mud.
bro we have 2022 and btw the half of the Maus was build in 1945
In our museum we have all modifications of the T-34 Tank. And all of them are on the move. Come in soon I will upload a video.

"Countries increased their military spending. Germany is one of the first....." Me: 😐
Why?
@@gmgmgmxxi .......I have no idea. Why on earth would I be concerned Germany is increasing their military? It's not like they had started any wars recently.
@@machinegunhunt8407 ?
Are you american
I hear a lot of "this is possible," the reality is that any tank tracked or wheeled will have issues with roads, ability to get it from point A to point B. Mud and frozen terrain has haunted the Russians thus far. The same will go for any future tank. What type of tractor and trailer needs to be developed? Tanks don't win wars by themselves, modern warfare typically follows a form of Air land Battle doctrine (Something the Russians are not using effectively). That also means you don't develop one tank you develop things that are developed off a family of vehicles to promote commonality. This is where it gets have as a to replace everything your currently have with a future system is going to be expensive. Electric transmissions have their issues, namely water. One bad seal lays you low fast. Ask the Bradley developers. A lot of possible things can be developed, but at this stage it will be years before anything actually sees field testing (Practical field testing, not just some prototype). My 2 cents.
What about the D POINT
Any mechanized infantryman knows how true this is
Exactly
attack the D point
Kevin Storm nailed That point.First UAV armored for field was nazy Goliath and he was remote controled by wire.Why was forgoted for 70 years?
It's going to be funny to see them looking for a charging station during combat. or.. "Ahhhh we're being attacked!!" ------ "Hold on... we need to recharge. Ask them to come back in 6 hours."
dawg, even elon musk is making tanks💀💀
Germany has huge capacity and outstanding ability to do what they do best.AFV design and production just for starters.
Ho si, con razon fueron derrotados en la 2da guerra mundial.
@@choche741 they just had too many enemies but as Apollo proved science was miles ahead

No doubt about Germany's capabilities, but is the technology fully developed to support an Electrically powered tank? IMHO, and I am no engineer, I don't think so. Lasers on ship and aircraft are still in their first generation. It might take a few more years before we start seeing this as a real weapons platform.
@@kevinstorm2167 Very interesting and no doubt very true.
This is still gonna take decades to go into service, if it ever catches on. Especially since the Bundeswehr is introducing a brand new, state-of-the-art IFV (the new Puma) right now and probably won't be needing a new one for the next 20 years. (if we're still here in 20 years that is ... Not so sure about that with Putin in the Kreml to be honest)
And the Bundeswehr wont choose the Lynx as its IVF because the Puma fitts the requirements of the Bundeswehr ( ist is especially suited for them). The Lynx however is just the export product by Rheinmetall. Rheinmetall never stated to work with Elon Musk, and such a configuration wouldnt work because of the shape of the chassi etz. (And if Rheinmetall would build such a Tank, they wouldnt use Tesla´s elektric motor, rather motors from porsche or some newly developed MTU engines) This video is just nonsence
@@peepo_hate_ya Thanks for the clarfication. I kinda thought it's nonsense if Musk is allegedly involved ...
I was thinking that it looked like the PUMA
Its not a vehicle for the Bundeswehr tho its supposed to be a export product
Elon Musk has a American citizen but American Military when it comes to military relationships Germany have a much closer relationship with the US Armed Forces than even the British Armed Forces so I'm not really surprised that Germany would be one of the first euro states of all states to get cutting-edge technology when it comes to war machines.
In a world of nuclear weapons there's no saying goodbye to any superpower without saying goodbye to yourself...
Like most tanks there is a flaw where the turret revolves around the main body thinner armour. The tracks have no protection. The hatch on the top of the turret is inch thick. Therefore any drone can take out the tank. I think too many designers show their hardware to their enemy.
That particular turret type is designed to engage drones and missiles, mass drone attack was one of the big design considerations. It makes sense considering the drone threat.
Tanks/ifv are generally dead as attacking tool
Germany: "WE'VE BEEN WAITING 80 MOTHERFUCKING YEARS FOR THIS!" Poland: "DUDE, SAME!" Finland: ">:)"
Can people create something useful for humanity for once? Always something to destroy.
Well, we learnt from the Russia Ukraine war, that a dude with a motorbike and rocketlauncher can take out these billion dollar tanks.. cheap explosive carrying drones can take them out too
Would a tanks automatic defense systems be able to protect against drones capable of carpet bombing? If you need to defeat a tank, you don't have to destroy it, you just have to disable it (like damaging the engine/transmission or the tracks or destroying the weapons or disabling/killing the crew). Sure, component destruction on a tank can be repaired (sometimes in the field by the crew) but that takes time where as destroying a tank means the enemy has to replace the tank in its entirety (and trained crew), but if you only need to defeat a tank (or an entire armored column) if you keep it from moving/attacking for however long, mission accomplished. What about drone tanks? You are driving into an area when the lead tank takes an RPG to the left track and the second tank plows right through it because it was made of wood and aluminum and empty because the second tank was driving it via radio control and an FPV camera/transmitter or advanced self driving AI accepting commands from the second tank. The ambush is sprung and the armored column reacts appropriately.
You're forgetting how hard it is to completely disable a tank. Broken tracks just stop it and can be put back in minutes
@@flyingpizza7486 I didn't forget that point. I covered it (see above). Consider how difficult it is to disable a tank vs. destroying a tank. If all you have to do is delay a tank, even for just a few minutes, there are a variety of ways to do so (anti-tank trenches/obstacles, popping a track/road wheel, smothering the engine, obscuring the viewports/sensors, jamming the tracks, etc.). In order to defeat a tank doesn't always mean you have to destroy it, you simply have to prevent it from completing its mission objectives, be it for five minutes or permanently all depends on what tools you have at your disposal, how much time to prepare, distance between you, the tank and its objective and finally mission prevention i.e. the following scenario: evacuation will take 1/2 hour - enemy tank is 17 minutes away from evac point...best case - destroy tank or at least delay tank for a minimum of 13 minutes + 5 minutes for buffer between enemy tank and evacuation...put an rpg round on a drive wheel, molotov cocktail the engine and fling super sticky/extra smelly "mud" on drivers window, small arms fire from well protected positions will keep the tank crew inside but won't save you from the main gun so keep moving).
@@cliffcampbell8827 full disagreement until it is fully broken it is a threat regardless
@@flyingpizza7486 The thing is that at war you do not need to destroy the tank, but make it not operational enough to continue the battle, then this Armory will become just a useless metal on the field and if enemy have enough artillery, they simply can convert this kind of Armory into a lure for enemy, who will try to take it back.... Also tanks are used in groups, so it is often enough to simply slow it down and UA vs Russian war and especially Leopard 2 cases are very good example both scenarios. Tanks as any other vehicles are just tools and you do not need to completely destroy or disable it to defeat the enemy.
@@Xelluse you forget how advanced they are and with the ongoing war they will only adapt to counter them. For example most tanks have grenades that stop atgms making them unstoppable
What a pipe dream. It still has two treads and as soon as one tread is disabled, the tank is a sitting duck. And it seems that one well directed warhead into the "valley" formed between the underside of the turret and the hull would be a show stopper. There is nothing new under the sun. Any novel idea that any new kid on the block dreams up has already been thought of, tried, and found inadequate. as soon as you think you are invincible, some one else come along, finds your weak spot, and defeats you.
Why not just one wide track with a sagging track for steering it
Just like leopards, this vehicle on battle field will last 1 week
Yea, until the area gets hit by a super EMP that can break through the EMP shielding. Or it runs out of electricity.
A Tank is a very similar tracked vehicle to an earth mover. In the UK the famous JCB company has built electric earth movers, but unfortunately they dont have the ability to work the hours required. Therefore, JCB had to redesigned their diesel engines to work on low polluting hydrogen fuel instead. Imagine a tank in battle having to wait hours to recharge? The technology simply isn't there yet.
Ejectable lithium sulphur primary batteries can be used for recharging and quick reliable power with a high energy density of 2600 Wh kg. Were talking about military applications here not general earth moving equipment
@@williamvaughan1218 Yes that's the point I was making. If they can't work on a similarly constructed earth mover that can stop and re- charge, how the hell can they work on a Tank in battle conditions ???????
Caterpillar probably donates the drivetrain.
Does anyone else notice the similarity of the sound of Skynex to Skynet? Mabye give them a Tesla O.S.... and link all the units to the base computer. Then start letting the O.S. start with the planning and execution of missions.
@@williamvaughan1218 most military tech is junk 😂
They’re not gonna do an electric tank, the battery needed to make that thing go over rough terrain with a decent range is going be insane
Lol let's hope he does..testing of course... then thrash it like I would The only way to make indestructible machines
They U.S already developed a battery powered tank
@@Joedoeswhat one thing is to develop, another thing is to have it work… What good is a tank if it needs to charge 4 hours when it takes 20 min to refill fuel? That is time lost that could otherwise be used to pressure the enemy… and if it’s battery replacement, it will need some kind of infrastructure to facilitete it, now, just pull up a tanker and transfer the fuel.. At the current level of tech, I don’t and won’t believe it’s a viable option..
@@Handskemager what about pull and replace?
@@prophetforprofit1431 a battery that size would be heavy… really heavy and once you disconnect it, you’re a sitting duck, making the battery replaceable adds weight, specialised personnel would probably be needed so people don’t get electrocuted If the battery is mounted underneath it needs extra armoring so it doesn’t get pierced Lithium Ion batteries are a fire hazard. There’s just no point in electric tanks with the current level of technology. (Edit) Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for electrification of vehicles, it will help out the climate in a ginormous way. When that is said, electrification has a role and a place. Unfortunately, that place is not with combat vehicles just yet.
THIS IS BANEBLADE!!!!!
I just hope the tanks armor is stronger than that trucks window was!!😂
I was in the 2/2 Armored Cavalry Echo Troop yeah I was used to taking the Autobahn to our battle position and getting caught in the open is not a good thing I use to practice running from over pass to over pass my crew though I had lost it but it was my job to keep the crew and vehicle in one piece and the crew alive but armored divisions should not be on the road unless you are sure you are in a safe areas

This IFV/MICV plus their new main battle tank "KF51 Panther" with its 130mm main cannon(!!) and their "Mantis" Anti-air defense systems etc etc.. makes me think that Germany is STILL so far ahead of any other country when it comes to weapon technology. Just these 3 units I mentioned above and their capabilities and specs are just insane! Even here in Sweden we are amazed by these.. Also, has anyone noticed how all of these designs are very similar to each other? They look futuristic, slick and overall esthetically really cool! Wouldn't be suprised if we adopted the new Panther as our new MBT after 2030 which is when we will replace our current MBT "Stridsvagn 122" (basically a "Sweded" Leopard 2) And wow! That remote controlled little Skynex 35mm. Holy shit!

I disagree that Elon Musk is revolutionizer and intelligent, give anyone open budget and he can create a super tank that unbeatable. Technology now is available, and the issue is cost, you can add four drone connected to the drivers and to the tank by wire so the never stop and keep taken 360 images around. You can add laser, frequency and other technology to stop rocket from hitting the tank. You can add multiple defend system to reduce any opportunity to attack this tank. Also you can add 3rd level which is shooting high impact low range bullet guided by radar to stop any rocket close by. You can keep add technology and more than one computers, rocket for airplane and much more. You can add extra clone take control remotely in there job to trick the enemy. So there are 100 ways you can create unbeatable equipment if you have open budget, this is not engineering not even intelligent.

@@luigimrlgaming9484 I did said you can include ant RPG and you can include radar as well, the message I am saying This big firm technology is not engineering as they have an open budget, and you can add as much technology to the vehicle.

@@rodjosenico6882 are we explaining how we agree with eachother My point is if you make the best vehicle in the world and it’s taken out by a low cost and easy to produce, acquire and use then it’s pointless to put that much effort into it But I do agree with your point of sticking top grade stuff that already exists on a tank and calling it “Marvel of modern engineering genius”
Hitler and his Nazi Germany invested massively in the new technology before and during the WWII (same what)...and they lost at the end. You can try, invest, invent, create... At the and, people that have WILL to fight with knifes, sticks, arrows and who knows what will win... Guerilla always win! Technology is only first period victory source... It is only nice, that wars push technology advance more than in peace time... So after, we will have all more modern stuff... New microwave stowe's, new 3D sets, new... Or maybe not... Maybe we will struggle to start fire with stones and sticks, with 3rd level radiation burns, and kids with 3 hands, and 2 heads, asking for supper from rabbit/pheasant hibrid
