NATO Days 2018 - ASCOD 

Yup

@@petrberan2959 it is.

@@petrberan2959 its a light "tank" dafuq are talking about

@Gen Vuelham Actually it can be Called as Main Battle Tank already, Actually Heavier than T-90 of Russia. It has 45t

@@aseanhives8313 Yeah but it cant withstand APFSDS projectiles. This is why the CV90120 is better.

true

YA! UwU

Soon this will be seen in battle against insurgencies nice.. i can't wait to see this in action this will prove the company that who made this machine it's worth

@@khel1761m I can’t wait to see insurgencies crying while being slaughtered by these tanks 😆

@@stratosphere0038 Just be cautious because you don't know if the insurgencies here in the Phils are already smuggling some anti tank launchers then the Sabrah tank is already done.

@@soturii8250 there are already good Counters Against Anti-Tank Infatry weopon's and I think its way more Heavier than the Original

And bought by the Americans

@@stephanthegreat1348 yes and also General Dynamics have shareholders this is normal

@@jccalvente Yes and its and american product

@@stephanthegreat1348 No it was developed by Santa Barbara sistemas and Steyr before the company was bought by GD.

@@stephanthegreat1348 false: Austria / Steyr and Spain.

And a few IFVs.

@A dude with a flashlight Its kind of weird that we use APCs as a spearhead for our counter-terrorism activities, even though the armaments of APCs are only for self-defense...

yup

I know it´s probably a bit late : :D Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

I prefer the Indonesian one kasi design sya sa south east asian environment

@@jagdpanzer6689 what company is philfine?

Two thumbs up for this tank going to the Philippine Army....yeah

It would be ineffective on withstanding hits from APFSDS projectiles. The 120mm tank gun on it would be effective for engaging targets, since the gun is being used in many NATO standard main battle tanks. It could also be effective if it used the same tactics as a modern 8x8 wheeled gun tank destroyer (flank enemies and engage them in a defensive position).

I saw your other comment, I guess you are also interested on how the Philippine/Israeli variant will stand against tanks too, right? Well, it would still be ineffective against APFSDS projectiles unless it has the Iron Fist APS which can be fitted on the Sabrah Turret and said to withstand HEAT and APFSDS projectiles. The 105mm tank gun on the Sabrah is possibly a dual purpose gun (Anti-tank and fire support) but the Philippine military would rather use this for fire support. Just as I said, this would be effective if it used the same tactics as modern 8x8 gun tank destroyers.

@@RyuzoSan19 Thanks for the info, i’m hoping an Iron Fist will be considered too along with a 120mm gun since our Sabrah will only have a 105mm gun. But it’s great enough for fighting insurgents in our own country since the Ascod has (i think) a good Stanag 4 level protection.

@@maruphl4458 Yup, it can withstand DShKs.

I wonder how thick is the Ascod 2 MMBT’s armor, the sides seem pretty thick compared to the IFV’s.

The tank is big.

@Gen Vuelham Nope, its originally an IFV but can be used as an APC. And im pretty sure the Merkava just has the door on its back for urban warfare purposes.

@Gen Vuelham Also, im pretty sure those back doors for the ASCOD "MMBT" is really for ammunition purposes, so its not able to carry troops anymore.

@Gen Vuelham Maybe for the HITFACT turret which is currently the only tank gun turret fitted on the ASCOD. Maybe not for the Sabrah since they said it has about 24 extra rounds stored in the hull.

@Gen Vuelham Yup, 12 round autoloader.

Noise!

Yes!

Bruh, think about m1a2 Abrams, modern asf but still have a loader

@@sfsspearheadorbital5195 because there is blowout panels on the abrams turret, so its safe for the crew

Of course kahit sagasain nalang npa niyan hahahahha ubos yun

Ofcourse not. In the contract it states it will have a Rifled 105, so not direct Tank Combat but Rather Ambushes will be its Charm against modern MBTs. But it's good enough to fight against Insurgents

@@porsche-sandoesnotundersta8184 merong laban to. hindi naman masyadong nalalayo ang armour penetration ng APDS 105 vs 120, 125. Filipino crews have advantage over terrain and better network c4i than the Malaysians have with their Twardy tanks.

@@jesterrosadio4396 a Rifled Main gun and a Smoothbore Gun is Different and have their own advantages. Rifled guns are Accurate and can pack more traditional rounds such as Hesh and He while Smooth bore can be equiped with Apfsds that has a better Tank killing ability. You can look at Britains 120 Rifled Main Gun, They admitted that the Smoothbore gun of the Leopard 2 is better in Armor Penetration than the Challenger 2s Rifled gun.

Nope, its destined for fire support.

Where do you see that ?

Its the suspension fool

Lmao i guess you haven't heard a thing called "Suspension"
