German Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicle is considered by many the best IFV in the world. While some things may be a stretch, there are some things that really make it completely unmatched.

"There are some things that Puma does better than T-15" - I guess the main advantage here is that, contrary to the T-15, the Puma IFV does actually exist in deployable numbers and is not vaporware.
wonder if that torque value for the T-15 is real. I suspect not.
We should get some into Ukraine and see how good they actually are.

"The mobility is good enough" - that's an understatement, the Puma was designed to match the speed of the Leopard 2 going full power on rough terrain.
Its supposed to match the torque. Puma is significantly faster.
@@PugilistCactus The Puma's raw speed on on roads is higher, but large tanks like the Leopard 2 are usually faster on rough terrain due to the tracks being bigger. They have more stability and roll easier over the rough stuff. That's why the Puma's mobility is impressive , it's because it can also go over rough stuff as fast as the large tanks.
I read this as mach 2
The puma hits a target in 3 km during driving full speed ……. It has a communication system on board so the driver sees everything that the infantry around him. This is the most advanced machine in this class. The newest and best.
ebrc jaguar ? idk it's wheeled but i believe they have the same purpose
@@EreVR-jp8dd The Jaguar is mainly a reconaissance vehicle. They are not in the same class with the Puma. But yes, the reconnaisance of the Jaguar is also state of the art.

It's hard to estimate the real price tag on the T15 since it won't be exported any time soon and things in Russia work very differently than in Germany.

Hi RedEffect there's one thing I would like to point out: engine torque doesn't matter. I don't blame you for making the mistake that more 'torquey' engine is better: it is popularized by car journalists who tend to know little about how cars work, and car makers advertise this figure fully knowing it's BS. What really determines how fast a vehicle accelerates or how much load it pulls is torque at the output axis: the tyre or drive sprocket. And this torque is engine torque multiplied by gear ratio and final drive ratio minus drivetrain loss. This means an engine with less torque can make up the deficit by using shorter gear ratios, but that also means they need more engine rpm to make up for the higher reduction which they tend to do. What's unique about Puma's engine is that it's unusually high revving for a military vehicle, in fact it's higher revving than many passenger cars. The design philosophy is to maximize specific power (kW/L) and power density (kW/kg), so the power pack can be more compact, weighs less, and consumes less fuel (fewer friction/heat loss). Instead the real problem here is not it has less torque than the Armata or any other military vehicle. It's that higher power density designs tend to have more stress and possibly more maintenance. This is the true reason pickup trucks and large SUVs use big 'torquey' V8 engines instead of a small screaming I4; the same applies to military vehicles too. I don't know how reliable Puma's engine is though, since reliability depends on many factors.
Interesting thx man
finaly someone who understand mechanics, also with more torque and unskilled crew there is greater chance of braking transmission. it is cheaper to produce it like this and I think it is safer to use it :D
I mean, it does kinda screw it when climbing an incline. Gonna suck when the engine gives out when going up a steep mountain valley.
@@PugilistCactus Not really, if the transmission is any good. You could go up steep inclines in much heavier vehicles with less powerful engines and less sophisticated transmissions 80 years ago.
@@PugilistCactus not necessarily. The transmission does it's job and the engine has a more flexible RPM range than most vehicles. If you need to climb a steep hil just shift down a gear or two and drive with a higher RPM. The Puma can do this due to its flexibility. Most other vehicles use truck like engines that don't vary a whole lot in their RPM range.

@Apple Tek Support What you mean is a warmongering budget. There is a distinct difference. All three of these nations cripple their civil progress for excessive military spending. Look at how much money Germoney spends for each active soldier, then compare it to countries within a margin of reason, like France, the UK etc. Lack of funding is not our problem.
Wobbegong its warmongering if you are the top spender. Germany’s position as the shield of europe means it SHOULD invest more for the security of the EU
2:35 wow! I always wondered how some auto cannons can be "duel feed" and swap between different cartridges on the fly, so it's an open bolt. I've learned something new today 😁
So did I!
The Bradley Cannons use an entirely different system but are also dual belt feed
open bolt systems make maintenance and cleaning a lot easier as well, as long as you have a proper safety... that's a big problem for open bolt designs, like many german MGs, as the MG3, you have no real safety, as you can't lock the bolt when it's not opened, but an open bolt is the fire ready position
also generally open bolt systems aren't as precise as closed bolt systems but thats for machineguns rather than auto cannons since these are able to reliably fight threats at 3000 meters
@@jolioding_2253 the higher mass of the receiver in the autocannon negates most of the accuracy issues of the open bolt design

@Denis No.
@Denis a MBT has a completely different structure than an APC, just because you take the turret out you have still the engine in the back and all that
@Denis This is mainly because the Puma has more technology in it than the Leopard. The ATGM modules for example, and the laser sensors, and keeping compatibility with all of that means you have to keep all the systems in. Of course you could just take away the turret of a tank and reduce its armor, put the engine at the front and make an APC out of it. This is essentially what the M113 is. But the M113 does not have all the features that the Puma has. No real scouting ability, no ATGM, no 30mm gun, no protection system, no composite armor.
the firstt time i ever watched red effect, when he said fire control system i thought it meant when the engines caught on fire and it needs to be extinguished. im dumb
To be honest if I didn't know better I'd have assumed the same thing.

7:15 in real combat the units deployed by a puma would carry Anti-tank weapons and adapt their loadout to the situation (offense, defense etc. A.e. in defense the team also has one engineer to erect barricades) keeping them versatile.
So these aren't German soldier it looks like American What I miss in the video is that the puma isn't there to be used against tanks but to support the soldiers against light armour vehicles and personnel the units deployed by the puma have good enough anto tank weapons to destroy tanks
Things the Puma can do better than the T-15: drive, being deployed, not being basically a paper tank, being more than a inventory statistic/meintion in the arsenal. And many more, but no need to beat a dead horse...

the main thing Puma does better than T-15 - it exists.

Would be interesting to hear about the CV9040/30 There are aa few in europe at this time. Specially its winter capabilety.
Next could be cv 90
Just a little addition concerning the pumas protection. In its combat configuration passive armor at the front, the sides and the turret provides protection against 30mm. In the back there is still armor against 14,5mm. Additionally there is 360° RPG protection (CLARA-ERA at the front and sides and cage armor at the back) and roof protection against artillery bomblets.
Amazing audio. It makes all the people requesting footage speak with the same voice. That's like one of those space age translators you see on the late night infomercials. Amazing by any standard.

I build the Puma and some of the footage was filmed at my workplace
THANK YOU.. PLEASE CONTINUE.. YOU DO GREAT WORK
This IFV video series should go on. I would love to see about the BMP-3, the swedish CV-90 and Bradley. Actually, the T-15 beats the Puma with it's ATGM system, where both Commander & gunner can fire two missiles at the same time and slightly with front hull protection. The amount of tourque is rather trivial as long as it fits into the combined arms role. Which is the case with the newer Leopard 2 models, as the MBTs got heavier all along. When the Puma was developed/designed, this was a "must have requirement" for the engineers from the beginning. Edit: I think the video was a little bit too quiet this time, I had to increase volume pretty hard.
I think the Puma wins actually as.....its in service.
The dual fire ATGM's of the T-15 is an awesome system but if the missile can't see the target or gets jammed (due to MUSS) it wont help too much. But I guess it is not much different for the T-15 since it has an APS so both will have trouble hitting each other with ATGM's.

Served 4 years in the bundeswehr Panzergrenadierbataillon 112 and let me tell you, the Puma sounds great on paper and all the official info germany releases but its something completely different in reality. Puma came 5 years later than planed, served when we got the first in the bataillon, at the end of my service we had 40 of which only 3 were combatready the production got rushed and they were full of bugs and errors, at some point we had one tank that could drive but not use the turret and an other puma that could use the turret but wasnt able to drive we joked about just changing those parts and having at least one working tank. The designers also made a huge flaw because they had to designt the tank after the criteria that pregnant female soldiers should be able to drive (i shit you not) the tank had oversize which made transportation a very diffucult task beeing overseized the tank route had to be planed very careful and escorted by police or the MPs, its also partly electric which means we had huge portable chargers and had to plug them in, in my opinion a downside overall the tank wasnt very popular and in my 4 years of service i barely saw them in action Funfact: Soldier Hauptgefreiter at 09:40 is from the 4 Kompanie 33.

Many thanks. Very informative.
Oooh... video on the boxer, maybe? :) Many countries are using it, some in special configurations
The Problem with T14/15 is that they are so expensive in production, hence why they are only build in small numbers
Nah, they are Russian made. Most likely overcrowded with problems, even the PUMA still has, and tons more. The Russians are currently not able to surpass any western powers regarding military technology. That should not sound racist in any way, but it is an dictatorship/"communism". Everyone is corrupt and the production highly depends on bribe money and persons in charge. Complicated, highly advanced technology is nothing Russia knows something about or can produce on a greater scale, simply put. That is the main reason they still use realiable but totally outdated T-72s, T-80s (even as BVM) and T-90s. Their MBTs are as heavy as German specialised IFV (the PUMA is much more than "only" an IFV). In Ukraine, you see the full problem of Russian military: Not enough planning and bribe money. Catastrophic planning, basically no logistic making thousands of armored vehicles heavy road blocks and a troop morale that cannot even be strengthened by Russian generals - of which they have lost almost a fifth total. Believe me or not, Russia or more likely Putin, has totally overrated its own military.

Vehicles like the T14-15 need to be considered technology demonstrators / prototypes and not combat vehicles, because they're not in production and AFAIK not deployed to combat units.
Yes we see in Ukraine... They are just Show models for Putin... But the Puma is real
The T-15 isn't the best IFV because it is WAY to heavy and large, plus I'm willing to guess they cost a lot compared to most other IFVs. The T-15 is as big/heavy as some modern MBTs. So now crossing bridges and transporting the T-15 is going to be a a huge issue when compared to other IFVs.
It also doesn't exist so that is a big -

Great unbiased analysis!
CV-90 FTW
The Puma with it's latest configuration and armor setup is still significantly lighter than the T-15 in it's base setup. It doesn't require that much power. It's also an easier overall build, which is less prone to issues, and weighing cost, efficiency and production, on the long run the Puma is a far more profitable long term investment than the T-15.
The T-15 isn't even a thing, honestly i don't understand how RedEffect could ever believe that it was a serious program. The entire armata program has been clearly dead since at least 2018-2019. I mean they didn't have enough money to upgrade the T-90 to T-90M and stated that it was unnecessary to upgrade the T-90 because the T-72B3M was good enough
so last year I saw an autocanon on a truck on the way to a test, didn't recognize it but this is it, it was the PUMA's autocanon, apperently they want to upgrade our APCs to IFVs with this.
I just love the comedically tiny barrel inside of the giant outer barrel cage or whatever you want to call it. Also this thing is the goat in War Thunder, absolutly love it.
I have an question, it may be an obvious one but hang on with me :) When a company is developing a new military vehicle does it take into consideration the budget of the military which is buying it or not? If yes; to what extent? And doesn't that reduce the effectiveness of the vehicle which the company is developing, or does it depend on if it's for the country's army or if it's for export, or whether the company is private or owned by the government. If no, then how will the army buy it if it's a top notch vehicle? I think this is a lot to answer in a comment so if you made a video about this it will be amazing. Thank you
Usually a government or military force will put out a specification of what they want, and from companies will either try to make something, or modify an existing platform to fulfill these specs. Multiple companies may compete for the contract and their platforms will be put through "trials" which is basically a big competition to see who has the best. After the first trial selected platforms will go back for alterations and they will usually get submitted for a second trial. This can go on for years. Price may or not be specified in the original specifications or negotiated later.
The first guy to reply was right but there’s an occasional instance where a government gives a company an infinite development budget. Designing the f22’s Radar is one example

i'm wondering, do you have any way to compare the production and maintainance cost of Puma and T15? let me put it this way. - you did note that puma has more produced units. - this might indicate that it may be easier vehicle to produce of the two (however this assumption would also ignore all other factors that would be at play here.) so what vehicle would you judge to be the better value for investment here?
Wow! Thank you! Hope it gets to be a Export-Hit
Stridsvagn 103 when?
can you do a video on the strv 122 aka the best leopard 2A5 verient or the CV90 the best afv family
Why do you consider it the "best" ? It seems virtually identical in every way to any other leopard with a slight trade in speed for additional armour and an in house optic. What aspects of it make you decide it is the best among it's competition? If anything it is the best for fighting in Sweden with their requirements but the best overall? I am curious why you think that
@@BeKindToBirds I’ve seen a lot of videos claiming it to be one of the best MBTs in the world thanks to it’s armor. So I would like him to also do a video on the strv 122 to see how good it actually is. And while he at it he might as well do a video on the CV-90.
@@BeKindToBirds the Strv122 is the best Variant of the Leo 2A5, because it is the only existing variant with a Digital Battle Management system. And of course the additinal armor upgrade too. Something that not even the German Leopard 2A6 had. Only the newest 2A7 finally has a Battle Mangagrment System in 2021. Meanwhile the Strv 122 had this alrrady since 1998!
Great video. Can you make a video about the Serbian modernization of the Yugoslav version of bmp 1 (m80) to m80ab1?
Germany sure love naming their tanks/ifv with big cats. Maus tho...
