Does the Chieftain Fit Into.... a Bv 202? 

That doesn't make any sense. Mr. Moran gets paid to do so. And it's "if he fits he sits". Cats like open boxes they fit into. The fact that they got into the box means it fits.

Lindy looks like a reasonably tall guy. I have never met him in person though.

@@plutotheplanet5341 iirc Lloyd is 6'3"+. He tends to tower over Jayson, Matt, & Tod.

There's a video of the both of them in a Churchill

It would have been made in either Bree or the Iron Hills ; they were too busy making ale and pipeweed in Hobbiton

Technically, but he wouldn’t be able to drive it for long

​@anvil5356 are you concerned he will face a burnout?

Who wants to see the Chieftain in a PAV1 Badger? We must make it happen!

“Oh bugger, the matchbox is on fire!” (Someone had to say it)

He needs a shoehorn

Ergowhat?

Stop using fancy words. a infantery man has no clue what is ... :)

@@exploatores Hush! We know what it is, we've just never SEEN it, is all! (We certainly know what it ISN'T, we get plenty of examples of THAT!)

They are made for 20 year old men. It makes a big difference.

"If ergonomics was supposed to be considered, the armour design triangle would be a square...it isn't, so just worry about mobility, armour and firepower" Military procurement specification authors, probably

He would have fit if he remembered his PT belt

Just remember what Patton was rumored to like for a tanker uniform and be relieved that wasn't approved.

I can't help but think he is thumbing his nose at somebody by wearing that Winter PT jacket...

Classic retiree DGAF style.

Why ruin good civilian clothes, when you can ruin old issue items

He has a choice, not leaving or let a leg or 2 behind.

If it gets stucked, use more lubrication.

That, and it being amphibious.

more so that it is amphibious and its a lot cheaper to make a steel plate watertight and maintain it so then it is a door

But what Swede designed an entry that step one is get your wet snowy boots where you're about to sit? Wet cold bum for HOURS.

As much as they are advantages they are also disadvantages, in that requiring clearing snow off the roof/hatch. The "ladder/step" guaranteed will get packed with snow and ice making usage near impossible. And then just to make life miserable a bit more one accesses by climbing onto the place you are going to sit by standing on it, nicely covering it with snow, ice and mud. Lovely. Just to top it off, going by appearances, one is basically sitting in an uninsulated tin can at 0 - -40 degrees C or F doesn't matter it's just F'ing cold. One can tell this a fine piece of engineering on paper and the crew of twits that designed it never tried using it. Or at least not more than a few hours as opposed to living in it and with it for an extended period.

@@foamer443 Have you driven one? Even been in one? Didn't think so. It has heating and furthermore, the Swedish soldier is dressed for these occasions. This is a fine vehicle with remarkable terrain crossing capability. It's also, like most Swedish platforms, it's modular so it can be turned into different things depending on what you need. Need an ambulance? No problem. Need a troop transport? No problem. Need a forward artillery spotter? No problem.

Just a few NCOs and a breaker bar or two. 😁

I was seriously concerned about his ability to get out of that thing. Turned out to be way easier than I expected. On the other hand he didn’t try to drive it for a while and get truly cramped up and *then* try to get out of it…

I always found it shocking, truly shocking that a first world nation defeated a third world nation.

@@daebi37 Argentina was not a third world nation. They had a medium power navy operating within shore based range of a decent air force. The only real advantage the UK had was a professional army.

@@111doomer And a whole lot more money, even in 1982. It was very much not a great gamble on the part of the Argentine government. High risk, high reward? Maybe domestically.

@@daebi37 you clearly need to look into the Falklands War quite a bit more 😃

@@DrBunnyMedicinal Sure but the majority of that money was being spent on stuff to fight the Soviets in the NATO area of operations. The ability to fight a war at a distance of 8000 miles was being retired at the time and the UK was very lucky to be able to pull off a win.

I wanted to see that! 😂

Bah, I'm 6'3"; almost, 187 cm, and have driven both the 202N and 202NF1 (Norwegian Models) without any problems at all. Well, the 202N was prone to carb fires due to the RPM limiter, and the servo on the 202NF1 was a tad too strong so it was easier to throw a belt without sensing it, as you would on a 202N. We wouldn't wear webbing inside, the centre console was well situated for that. Winter camo was routinely worn. BTW, I was the Transport Officer with a unit in Finnmark about 1980 and on several exercises later. I remember well, when we did a "swimming" exercise with the 202N and F1s, the elderly Lt standing in the hatch of the first BV, with stentorian voice declaring, " Jeg er Redd!" (I'm afraid) as they got close to the water.

Plockepinn! 😂

@@SonsOfLorgar oh, wait! is it something to do with ninepins? the old brain went into over-drive :D

@@keithskelhorne3993 Try googling Mikado (game) or Pick-up sticks.

That's called "professionalism"...

He was probably feeling claustrophobic just from watching.

Its called boredom

@@jannearo328 Its actually called being a sourpuss...

@@jp18449 Ah. Thanks.

And also much louder once up and running^^

the reason for the doors can be seen here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandvagn_202#/media/File:MILIF.002281.jpg BV 202 is amphibious and as sweden has conscritps eliminating the need for sealing around doors is good design.

This sounds like a personal experience...

It was designed to be operated by

I'm sure we can do better than the L3/35. The Tank Museum does have the Praying Mantis....

@@davidgillon2762 Lmao that would be pretty interesting. I still remember seeing that one where he got into the Vickers UT and the Renault UE... the man was just not built for them lol. I think I also saw a Czech tankette of sorts, but I couldn't recall the video title or anything.

Sofilein would be almost as entertaining to watch, but in a different way!

That explains why the steering wheel, gauges, and switches look so familiar! Damn near identical to the old BM Volvo 230 and 350 tractors my dad has.

Sigh. I'll take another look next time I'm around there

Easier to make amphibious so it could plow through melted snow, if what I've seen of the 206 is any indication.

Probably because it is amphibious. That door means that the water can go up to its bottom without needing any seals and you can also enter and exit the vehicle in water.

@@daaa3932 correct. the 202 is amphibious without any changes made and was designed to drive on TOP of the snow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandvagn_202#/media/File:MILIF.002281.jpg

Just heavier? Lack of power-to-weight ratio?
