Inside the M1 Abrams - POV of Tank Loader [Training]
EXCLUSIVE B-roll footage, provided by @Kafkodesu, featuring the point of view of an M1 Abrams tank loader.
This helmet camera video shows detailed inside and outside episodes of an M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank crew working together while conducting Gunnery Table V(training) and Gunnery Table VI (qualification).
Gunnery Tables are used to train crews to acquire and perfecting their gunnery skills through various conditions.
Each table has a specific purpose, which collective builds the crew up in proficiency until the last table, which consists of numerous targets and maneuvers, where the crew attempts to qualify on the vehicle.
Tank crewmen are expected to effectively hit the simulated targets to qualify and be mission ready.

turbine noise is crazy, never forget the headphones!
After two minutes I am already fed up with this sound... Imagine being there for hours
A word of caution for those watching. I would just observe that US Army service vehicle interiors are considered CUI. I'm easy to track down, I was speaking to a G.O. two days after I released without prior approval a three second clip of the back of an MGS. I've not shown the inside of front-line US equipment since (I would like to make full-bird). If this video went through PAO, then great, but I might mention such in the description before people get wrong ideas.
yes, it went through a review. no breach of opsec here. it's also a few years old
@@Swahzur lost dumbass
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video, please, remember to leave a Like & Comment. It means a lot for the channel, I really appreciate it.
I read that as tanks for watching lmao.
I love ur vids
The M1 Abrams is a beautiful Main Battle Tank~♥
In game, not real life 😂
It's not about how nice tanks look like, but about their functionality!!!
@@lumanoderechte Why are you being so serious? ㅎㅎㅎ
Just find a good strategy.
Т 72 показал, что это не так
That noise would drive me crazy
Tank cap has hearing protection its doable.
You get used to it very quickly. You're so focused on listening to your TC or gunner you start to tune it out. The hearing protection on the CVC helmets help too.
Dude, that's just cool. Abrams is powerful!!!!
No. It’s just a tank.
No =))
LOTS MEMORIES FROM M1 TANK I WAS IN THE TRAINING TRANSITION FROM ALL M60 TO THE NEW M1 ABRAMS TANKS.
M1 Abrams my beloved ♥
This is so cool! Great job!
More tank pov pls.
Brings back memories
Incredible Experience Adorable Vibe Great Work Good Clips So much Right So much Wrong
Hearing protection is paramount.
Ну чего помогли вам ваши Абрамсы?
Elaborate? Maybe speak the language of the person you’re asking if you actually wanted an answer?
M1 Abrams tank firing into the outlands loader view
I wonder how on earth the TC i supposed to see forward when he has his head out of the hatch with this huge CROWS system in front of him
Wow loader is fast to reload the gun
No way to not be loud when youre part of the whole package
Its funny! When im close to gun fire without ppe, my ears QUIT ringing
would not want to die inside of them
NOISY......Surprised there has not been some sort of lawsuit about that ear shattering whine.....
Everyone’s required to wear ear protection
Hearing protection apparently doesn’t exist
Imagine suing tank malfunctioner just because the noise from it engine
So you do get Bose noise canceling headphones, but they don't cut out the whine you hear. Plenty of tankers get tinnitus or worse hearing loss, which usually gets covered by VA (I got tinnitus from my.time in the tank, all I can claim is hearing aids through my state for free).
Bobby?😂
7s to reload.
Wow! The thickness of the turret top looked remarkably thin, too thin to be composite armour, if that's just an inch of rolled armoured steel then we have discovered that the Abrams has the same weak spot as Russian tanks. Yes the shells may be in a protected bin in the rear bustle so less likely to blow the turret off if hit, but when an anti tank missile comes in for a top down strike then that molten stream of metal particles is going to give the turret crew a very bad day, how many have been lost in combat, 278?
The thickness of tank’s roofs are usually thin are they not?
I think only like 70 have been lost (destroyed, captured, or abandoned) but idk. I know that there’s very few destroyed Abrams because it’s been used against weak insurgencies for the past couple decades and they don’t have that great of at ability
@@aidboo1054 no its over 278 lost to enemy fire, not just by the American military but also by those nations that have bought it, like Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
@@nickmail7604 I’m talking about u.s. losses. we train our troops much better than whatever they can manage, and have much newer models, no offense. Besides, lumping in export losses with domestic is a bad thing. Russian t72 losses would be thousands higher due to Iraq losing their entire stock in the gulf war.
Pretty sure only the swedish? version of Leopard 2 has improved roof armor. Every other MBT usually just has a few cm of homogeneous steel.
Destroyable like any other tank. And fairly expensive counting that unfortunate trait
드론에 한방에 파괴 치명적인 단점
Always the foreign dudes w sum to say
So is every tank? I’ve yet to see an MBT that can withstand an fpv ied drone in combat.
They should listen to good metal music, so as not to hear that hum that is so atrocious for the ears and the brain.😵😵
Украина показала,что из себя представляет абрамс. Увидел весь мир. Так что успокойтесь,и сидите тихо.
Russians… always gotta be starting shit even when no one asked them a thing. That’s the reason why Ruski kids are being raised by single mothers while flowers grow out of their fathers’ skulls in the fields of Ukraine.
are you sure this tank is Abrams??
Yes it is
what else?
No, it's Panzer 1
It very much is
its a bob semple duh
Люки, надо закрывать. Иначе, в люк, прилетит граната, с дрона
Да уж Т-90 это не забудьте рассказать.
@@hybrid5775 ну уж говорить это т-90, у которого панорамный вид, точно не нужно.
Maybe if they were in a war zone, but this is stateside training, lmao. Not many bomb drones flying around here, unlike Moscow, I’m sure.
아직도 수동장전 한다고? 세계최고 미군이?ㅡㅡ
Autoloaders break down, are generally fussy, and can’t take watch, operate tertiary armament, or help repair the tank. Human loaders offer better flexibility of ammo type selection, mechanical simplicity, and can often outpace autoloaders in short bursts. The K2 has a great system, I’ll give you that, but it just doesn’t fit into our tank doctrine.
Sorry I can’t hear you. Just watched 3 minutes of whine. Ear protection or not, I guarantee all of these tankers having hearing loss.
Aint like theres a medium machine gun inside the fighting compartment thats shooting hundreds of rounds and a huge 120mm main gun too. Obviously they have ear protection but, lets be real, going into military service, you WILL sacrifice some of your hearing.
I would think the 120mm gun would be more damaging to one’s hearing than the turbine, wouldn’t you?
@@warweasel2832with the headset on the main gun is dampened pretty well and the are noise canceling headsets. But that whine is too high of a pitch to really get stopped that much, so it just goes right through, it's why so many of us have tinnitus after a gunnery or two.
@@nucleus691the guns get blocked out pretty well, but the whine doesn't.

When will you transfer this tank to Ukraine?
Never. This is M1A2 SEP 2 or 3 i think. Ukraine has M1A1's.
Парадный танк
Это не армата которая только на парадах и бывает и то глохнет и ломается 😆
Russia holds massive military victory day parades every year…. T14, t90, t72b3m all more ceremonial than Abrams will ever be
@@aidboo1054 nevertheless, all of these tanks (except for the T-14) are actively participating in the war with Ukraine, unlike the Abrams, half of which simply stand deep in the rear, and the other half die from drones
@@Novnlydxdveofievfodgeir yes… Russian tanks are active in a war between Ukraine and Russia… I’m so surprised…
@@aidboo1054 здорово, что ты признаёшь своё удивление. Странно, конечно, что за два года войны ты ещё не узнал, что абсолютно большинство российских танков составляют современные модели.
완전 구닥다리 전차 저걸로 어떻게 싸워?
In Iraq twice, Afghanistan, and several other wars. And when has Korea fought with K2s? Why so many critical Koreans in this comment section? What are you all so salty about?
кто будет фпв дроном по нему бить, постарайтесь бить сразу после выстрела, в момент перезарядки, когда дверь с бк открыта, что бы взрыв шёл в башню )
Ну по крайней мере логично.
Там люки на распашку , морковку в люк , если попасть сразу 2 трупа ,забрыжит из коммулитвной струёй
Pretty much. That’s a small window though. Loitering with an fpv drone is usually pretty tricky compared to just trying to hit the damn thing any way you can.
Вопрос из России 🇷🇺, а почему в американских танках, заряжающий всегда почему-то чёртов нигга? 😅
This guy is white, look at his wrists man🧍🏻
??? I don’t understand your question
@@warweasel2832 ну ты че дурака валяешься, ты же меня отлично понял
@@warweasel2832 russian thinks you speak russian, use google translate, helps a bunch, one ontop said its a ceremonial tank.
хватит снимать пустые видео, приезжайте в Украину, привозите тысячи ваших Абрамсов, воюйте против русских фашистов! Вот тогда и посмотрите, чего эти танки стоит на самом деле. Сколько вы будете отсиживаться в тылу и трястись от страха от путинских угроз ?????
Putin threats… empty ones… America doesn’t need to waste its time, money or troops by joining in this war full time. neither Russia nor Ukraine is worth that much… also, how long has it taken the worlds second best, oh sorry “best” army in the world to take the 22nd best? 2 years? yeah I’m gonna play the bull crap card here
Нах ты им нужен со своей уриной 😂😂😂 Сам иди защищай свою неньку краину пххх
You want nuclear war? What reason is there to send NATO troops to escalate things to WW3? The Ukrainians seem good enough to stall your army on their own. They certainly turned a 3 day “special military operation” into a 2 year total nightmare for Putin.
