AMX-10 RC | The feather in France's cap 

Erc 90

Would you consider covering the KTO Rosomak. Polish license-produced AMW/AMW XP of Patria.

This legend is not yet dead , it will be shining once again in Ukraine within a few weeks now!

"Fought in Bosnia and Kosovo" Who did they fight there? They got in those areas only AFTER the fighting stopped. They didn't fire a single round.

how was the reliability? The AMX-10P and PAC90 were retired very early in Singapore because they weren't so reliable.

@@eatdriveplay I don't really know. I never worked on the AMX10P. It's a completely different tank. We had little worries with the AMX10RC, but it obviously needed maintenance. But I know Singapore has very competent crews, so that cannot be the problem.

Terrorist.

@@thepacifist702 No 😎 You need to back to school and learn what the definition of terrorism is 🤣🤣

@@charlesstoeng9166 And you need to pray. Hell fire awaits you.

But what happened to the AMX-10 RC T40? Is it just a prototype or French army wants to buy it?

@@CriscCiaddu Hi mate, the AMX-10 RC T40 looked an interesting concept. Do you think Nexter, Thales and Renault trucks didn't want to go through with the concept as it would have taken sales away from the EBRC Jaguar if the T40 was fitted to the AMX-10 RC? Or do you think it wasn't done because the AMX-10 RC's "hull" was passed its shelf life and they wanted a all new weapon system?

@@aking-plums6985 I believe more on the second question. Starting the production of both the EBRC and the T40 is perhaps a costly and senseless solution Better to directly replace the old AMX-10 RC with the EBRCs.

@@CriscCiaddu The news says the French ordered the JAGUAR, it is designed to replace the AMX-10RC.

@LOLO / VAL oh hi, yes i know👍 In my old comment I wrote "rather than building both EBRCs and the T40, better to build ONLY EBRCs to replace the old AMX-10s". My first comment was just a question to understand what happened to the T40 project, but I've never been in agreement with the production for the French Army, I'm only in favor of the Export market for the T40. -I am well aware that the T40 is too obsolete for today👍

Yeah. This is why I love them.

Do you know if France fielded any of these for their SFOR contingent?

You can add Japan . I just watch a video on the Japanese "Type 16". They look the same.

That was awesome

Yes, great, as the speed, I think it some places they would have get a ticket ^^

My hip hurts just from watching it.

Thank you, this is awesome.

not all heroes wear cap

The AMX10RC is design to destroy T72 (and he destroy a lot of them in the first Gulf War), Russia have a lot of them, and a lot of older tank. It's usefull.

@@Theluciole97 the Gulf war would be a bad benchmark as the western forces had complete superiority in every field (especially the Iraqi tanks didn't have the required optics to actually fight with the west armored units). a fight with Russia would be different

During the muddy season, it will loose it biggest asset. But in the hills around Donbass area. The shot and scoot tactics might do wonders. (When the ground is dry and hard again)

Yes if Germany is too chicken 🐔 to send tanks to Ukraine they should at least allow others to , or they could atleast restricted weapons to western Ukraine to free up Ukrianian Soviet tanks. Western Ukraine isn't an active warzone but it's at risk of another invasion.

Amx10rc wasn't design in order to face frontal heavy assault. But it can be pure jewels in infantry support. You talked about the terrain, Ukraine is gonna receive the light version of it that can cross river etc... I think that's a very good choice for this terrain, in order to support infantry assault like we saw since few month. Surprise attack & shit. Btw, its enough powerfull to face & anihilate a t72. Mobile utilisation will be the key with this vehicule Ps : sorry for my English, I'm french. And I also want to add that German actual foreign policy is leading EU to grave. Worst, scam project (i mean SCAF*) in Airbus German mind counterpart is possibly gonna lead to a war between us. We don't want to share our air&space industry tech. We are ready to let your industry to have both heavy armored vehicule (our next MBT) and light weapons (hk416F). Germany need to let us fighterplane lead.

105mm, but they are specific ammunitions (not standard nato) because this big gun in a so light vehicle had need to reduce the recoil ...

Ha....

Tank you very meuch

Welcome brother! ^^ Regards from France. Just something about the video, 85 km/h on road was with speed control by police. Several AMX10-RC drove above 100km/h on road... I did not know if they got a ticket (if I was a policeman, not sure I will try to give a ticket to 4 guys with a 15t vehicule armed with a gun ^^)

i'll take a cromwell over this paper tank any day

@@colindinsdale251 forget the Cromwell, the t50 is far more deadly

Look up " US dollar hegemony' with gold reserves, yuan currency swap deals " on yT. Insightful....

@@colindinsdale251 Saddam's army and their T-72s didn't see it that way. Twenty Iraqi tanks destroyed, not one AMX-10 lost and zero casualties.

How difficult would it be to retrofit (or adapt the current system to) a stablized gun it seems to be the only weak point. That cannon will still rock anything it hits and the crew will be affected regardless of whether it was penetrated or not.

The music is not: marche de la légion, just "Le boudin"

@@olivierpuyou3621 I agree, however it is the Regimental March of the Legion! anyway it's a great tune to march to

Thank you for your service, vive la France🇫🇷🇫🇷🇪🇺💪

May I inquire your opinion on the effective sweep of the turret? 45 degrees to either side of straight look reasonable. Could it fire with the gun perpendicular to the chassis on good ground or tarmac?

Based when you are in algeria and need cover support

I tried it and it worked. But I wasn't sure whether I should have laughed or screamed.

Instructions unclear. Summoned a Leclerc platoon instead. Plz help they're hull down in the yard and wont leave

Sorry, i'am french but no understand the running gag "la baguette" WTF ? It's just a bread .... And cassoulet ? new joke ?

@@olivierpuyou3621 "baguette" is an international meme for "french style/touch".

Says a lot when one of the best parts of your army is your foreign legion

@@danday8596 yeah but who trained them? The french...

@@danday8596 Says more when you know nothing about the French army

@@christianbriancon108 Encore un anglophone à la culture limitée qui a vu deux reportages sur la légion et se sent spécialiste...

Maybe now but during WW1 WW2 they ran away...40 years of what??? Practice warfare? Maybe a few UN humanitarian missions...get real 😹

Sadly the French Republic see any reference to past Kings/Emperor as dangerously reactionnary. This is why this cannot happen. It could have been named Koenig, Juin or any of the generals of the XXth century though.

@@fu5h1n Oh dear, is it that bad? Napoleon, who gave us the Code Civil, the metric system, surnames and who was a tactical genius - of course never completely devoid of typical 'folie de grandeur' - is now someone to be ashamed of? So political correctness and historical revisionism has struck in France too? I am Dutch and though the Netherlands was occupied under his reign, we at least recognize his qualities (and lots of men study his tactics as well). Stood at his grave in the Dome des Invalides in awe and respect many a time, even though I served with an infantry regiment (43me regiment Chassé) that fought the Grande Armee at Quatre Bras. Somehow I feel the entire western hemishpere is losing it's mind. How do you say that correctly in French? J'en ai marre?

@@Pincer88 This is exactly what "I'm fed up" But the revolt is brewing in the country of France. The soldiers speak, the civilians support them. The left parts are starting to feel hot on the buttocks. An X th revolution may be in the process of being born. But hey in France the revolutions we know we have done so much.

@@Pincer88 well, if you know a bit of French history, there has been a bit of 'generals being a bit to involved in politics' which is one of the drivers of this approach. It isn't new or recent and Napoleon is stil a big figure in France. Not everything needs to be equated to cancel culture my friend

Thank you for clearing that up. And you are probably right. Warning: word salad following! You refer to - I presume - Petain (Vichy-France) for example or maybe even to De Gaulle? And I presume Leclerc, the liberator of Paris was a less controversial figure in that respect? As to cancel culture, I'm not involved in either that or alt-right activism (though the wolf and 88 may give rise to think otherwise). I think the extremes in political life are too prominent due to press and social media, who make a fortune by exaggerating and fueling social division. Other than that I cannot imagine resentment, anger and hate ever having contributed anything good, but at times I can - to a certain degree - understand frustrations on both sides. Sadly it at times turns into a shouting match. I served with the infantry (we were the wolves company and I served in 1988-1989, hence my avatar) alongside comrades of all possible colors, faiths, convictions and yes genders. The only thing that really counted was being regarded as someone the other could entrust their life with and standing together in whatever difficulty we faced. Not out of some sort of cadaver discipline (good luck applying that to rebellious Dutch youngsters) but out of a deeply felt kinship. And truly, I miss that. People supporting each other, a sense of community, regardless of differences. That is the only modus that will help us overcome the greatest of challenges. So yes, time to tune down many a scale and replace the staccato with a comfortable legato. And not equate everything with cancel culture (or the polar opposite.) The uniqueness of the military draft (dienstplicht) was in putting a diverse group of boys (and a few girls who served voluntarily) into a situation that only rewarded spontaneous cooperation and teamwork. And we got to meet guys we normally would never encounter, while forging an unbreakable bond. And no, it wasn't all cumbaya, but after three or four months... Never seen integration (not assimilation) running smoother anywhere else. Under pressure most matters tend to become fluid. And that's when friendships spring into existence. A few months and we'll be having our 7th reunion. Imagine that, a company that has stuck together after almost 34 years. Moroccans/Berbers, Turks, one Italian, three from the Dutch Antilles, eight from Surinam, guys from the North, South, big city guys and those from the countryside, some with a university degree and some barely having finished high school, a few gay, two lesbians, twelve muslims, some christians and lots of atheists and an old Iron Maiden geek said I, the idiot, slapping each other on the shoulder, sharing fond memories and corny jokes. And everyone feeling an anachronism, just like Stefan Zweig in "Der Welt von Gestern." Progress it appears is not always improvement. I toast to that. Cheers/Proost!

Me, an English Canadian who grew up near Francophones, sweating for several minutes hoping that I was saying it correctly. (Thanfully yes I was)

Tu as un avis sur l'EBRC Jaguar ?

@@Klliansimabras salut peut etre la solution avec un canon de calibre inferieur mais une bonne puissance et il reste dans la série des engins de reco ebr aml 10 rc sagaie a voir a l'utilisation mais cela a l'air pas mal du tout

it is going to eat orctards

Not really a tank. A scout vehicle. It can still do a lot of damage.

@@Xerdoz Light Armoured tank. But it is still a tank.

@@franckdebzh7608 it's not a tank since it only weighs 7 tons in its basic version

@@laurentwinckel3756 6x6 light armored initially designed as amphibious recon engine with a 105 mm gun 🙃

@@zied6456 I'm a former French soldier so you're not teach me anything 🤗

They surely don't have french skills, the most important

ukranians will die as usual.

@@Zx17OPv57iyou are joking right? Ukrainians are already using western weapon platforms successfully - this will be easy.

The Ukrainian Army will quickly die in these (relatively) lightly armoured vehicles. They won’t last a second when engaged by a Russian main battle tank or their abundant anti-tank weapons.

Apsolutely.. The British designed and built simply the most useless pile of junk the Alvis Stalwart, but this AMX is proof that 6x6 is a credible concept with the right suspension system.. and will do well in Ukraine.. The neutral turn ability is extremely impressive and possibly the reason why it will be appreciated..

Cherche des chaînes War thunder plusieurs font des présentations de matériels 😉

Hugo FLEURENCE j’en suis déjà quelques unes, mais malgré tout, les sujets sur des véhicules moins connus, ou des images d’archives de prototypes ou d’anciens modèles ou encore de variantes, ça se fait plus rares.

@@xxsisnarfxx Ah bah j'en connais un qui fait pas mal de recherche et qui a parlé de certains modèles de la 2nd GM et de la guerre Froide, Théoelkiwito si tu ne connais pas. Il a par exemple fait un série de vidéo sur les évolutions de chars ARL puis AMX en englobant détails techniques (pas aussi poussé que une vidéo de ce gars, après il n'y avait pas tant que ça d'électronique) et contexte de guerre etc ... C'est intéressant et si tu le découvres et bien je te souhaite bien du plaisir x)

Matsoudo je suis déjà abonné 😄

@@xxsisnarfxx Ah bah merde oublie ce que j'ai dis alors XD

Agreed. I hope they know what they're doing.

@@teller1290 Why did you think that ?

@@Klliansimabras I think that the Jaguar isn't as cool too, I have a preference for big canons like the Centauro have because I don't really know how powerful a 40mm canon is, the AMX 10 RC can be used as a tank destroyer because of it is canon and his ability to flank to hit the side or the rear if possible, but to me, a 40mm doesn't seems enought vs tank armor How powerful is a 40mm canon ?

@@yann1922 I believe there are reports of Swedish 40mm equipped CV90's being able to threaten older soviet tanks but if French doctrine is to be considered (namely operations in the middle-east and north-western Africa) than an autocannon is more than sufficient for the job, especially against counter-insurgent groups who are aren't going to show up with next-gen MBTs. The Jaguar can basically threaten any light armour the enemy has and some older-gen MBTs. It also has a ATGM if it actually had to engage with a tank. But by and large the French were thinking to use this for counter-insurgency duties, not tank slaying.

Are those “nuclear nukes” atomic?

@@yenko5196 They are plutonium atomic to be precise

De rien

Thank you ! the 105mm gun was devastating for such a light vehicle. Not sure about the CTA 40mm gun of the Jaguar, particularly against brick or mud walls...

@@laurentnicolas1550 sorry I thought that the Jaguars would have a similar gun if France was using these as a replacement. The UK could learn a lot from France regarding defence. France has a very large military where the UK has cut defence for decades. At least our Prime Minister is now reversing those cuts but it will take decades to catch up.

@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 No we couldn’t learn from the French. An absolute nightmare to work alongside on Operations and these vehicles have wafer thin armour.

Totally different role. Plus the scorpion went decades ago.

@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 Actually, the new EBRC Jaguar's 40mm cannon is very interesting because it is more versatile than the 105mm one and it still doesn't lack of punch with its various telescoped ammunitions : airburst rounds against trenches, hidden targets, helicopters and drones, APFSDS-T rounds against any armor which is not the one of a modern MBT and programmable high-explosive rounds against concrete, walls. And the 105mm ROF of 5-6 rounds/min is no match next to the CTAS cannon with its 200 rounds/min. The new gun is smaller but hits harder on almost everything with more accuracy

I'd like to have three. Thinking of starting my own recce platoon in the States.

So the AMX-10 RC T40 is it just a prototype....😕? I thought the old models were update.

Yes. For many years

@@laurentnicolas1550 But I like VBCI more

@@phaknam Why ?

@@Klliansimabras I'm just asking because I like the Frence army VBCI 8×8 armored vehicles . and the Portugal army Punder II. combat operations in Central Africa

@@phaknam VBCI are not gonna be remplaced. They will even be upgrade to VBCI-2. It's a good vehicle, still effective. But why did you like the VBCI on your point of view ?

If Nato fights Russia it will be over in hours without a winner. WW2 style fighting is not coming back between nuclear armed countries.

@@Crashed131963 Agreed.

@@Crashed131963 I hope nuclear deterrence will keep being efficient, but if someone declare war whithout using them, we might see a situation with no one wanting to be the first. Also nukes are useful against big targets like cities, its not really efficient againts a fast moving army. So its a good idea to prepare to a war, even if its not to have it starting.

@@justeunfan3364 You can believe the first side who thinks they are losing the conventional war will rather have two losers rather than be the only loser. If the Cities are nuked where are these armies going to live after? The movie "The Road" comes to mind.

@@Crashed131963 You are right, as there is no way to know what would (or will) happen, let's just hope no one will never have to make this choice
