New ACV Debut! - US Marines’ Amphibious Vehicle Make First Operational Near the South China Sea 

Speed is the key, you can’t kill what’s not there, smaller footprints, and a smaller support element. That’s makes us truly amphibious.

Great video! Beautiful place to hold exercises too! A huge thank you to the Philippines for letting the US back in! Those amphibious vehicles remind me of hippos! The way that hippos are underwater with just their eyes, ears and nose showing!

Thank you to the soldiers who gave their service to our country and sacrificed a piece of themselves for us.

Well I remember being in an AMTRAC heading out the back and into the sea, praying to god that we resurface... LOL Those were some days.

That looks so easy to to get back into. I remember the few times we did exercises getting back on board, it was like a blind lady tryin to thread a needle, a few guys threw up. The rest put on our gas masks. They work.

I still remember 1974 when the AMTRAKS were new doing this in the Med, Sardinia as I remember. I got to do it in Vieques also. These appear faster but I'm wondering about rubber wheels vs tracs. I presume they are just fine without full tires and got 8 so... Of course, I bet these don't do like the Amtrac I was in once that instead of just swimming off, decided to dive...and dive...and dive...for like a minute, then stopping way down, leveling out and slowly, very very slowly coming back to the top and we went in for the landing... Being my first time and many others, we didn't know this wasn't normal with the doors on top leaking and trapped in the harness going down. In Vieques, it just swam off and hardly got our head wet. But that first one, I have no idea what happened... Nobody panicked, we were a good compliant bunch in back, the crew were cool all the way and acted like it was just another day in USMC paradise ridin their high tech horse for 1974. The ride into the beach was fun with the top open and I got to see the thickness of the top doors. They'd stop a light machine gun maybe a Ma Deuce, didn't seem too much more... So, enjoy boys. Never a dull moment in the suck.

履帯は整備、運用上の手間がかかるし装輪なら一つ二つやられても何とか動けるけと履帯は破損すると身動きできない。生存性を高めるには良い選択肢だと思います。

We salute our MILITARY specialy our NAVY,the world is great full for your service and sacrifices Sincerely yours Princess Maryam shahzadeh ghajar Qajar Dynasty

Just think of all the San Miguel drunk, monkey on a stick eaten, and lil 1/2 breed Marines made! God, I miss my time in the Corps!

Great vehicle, low profile & looks like a great replacement.

水上機動性、めちゃくちゃいいな。これなら渡河作戦でもそうとう使えそう。 日本にも早く届け！

When you sit still near the shore you just a sitting duck. Gotta keep the vessel moving.

Bogus I signed.up for Milwaukee advertisement and still got nothing

海兵隊は数あれどアメリカ海兵隊は一つ。これぞ我が最良の友。

War weaponry has evolved so fast in just the past two years that many of yesterday’s tactics have to be replaced

Oorah!

It is cool and probably far better than the LVP7 but With all of todays technology you would think someone would design an amphibious vehicle that is fast on the water. Jet drive?

I still like the track version better

🎖️🙏💪❤️‍🩹 Thank you for sharing this

Looks like it works great in calm water. What about a 6ft sea?

Diesel engine is working hard @7:51 and seem to struggle to get up the boat ramp? Are these underpowered?

That saltwater....I'm just thinking of the maintenance those Marines have to do after they get the vehicles out of the water. Going to be a lot of rust to bust.

30 plus tons with minimal freeboard in calm water?

Can you surf one of those?

新型はタイヤに変わるのね

Wonder how it is in the surf?

Is it a good idea to launch into water with hatches open?

I would be worried in any kind of even choppy sea conditions they might be great in calm waters like rivers or lakes but a sea launch is any kind of bad weather would be interesting to see.

Funny you have all this weaponry and still run out the back door in Aghanstain ?

Far cry from the P5.

Like tanks are now experiencing, these machines are going to encounter drones in swarms from the other side of the hills that are going to devastate any assault. Our military needs to re-evaluate all of the old maneuvers for attacks from drones. The WWII days are over.

新型か

wow, how about a race ,u.s. vs china amphibious vehicle only? hehehe

I would like to introduce various businessmen from around the world. Come to capture the Middle East region. This area will be safe from disaster for many years to come. Recommend investment into the region The world changes in the future. Chile, water will come in. Brazil, that great area will be less. But I can't summarize it exactly. Please give me some advice.

🇺🇸👍🙂

結構ぎりぎりだから乗る人数や装備の重さに気を付けないと沈みそう。

ACV's deployment in Balikatan 2024 is overshadowed by the SINKEX of a decommissioned Chinese made Philippine Navy tanker.

Isn’t the last time marines stormed any beaches in ww2?

💪💪🇺🇸👏👏👏🙋🏻‍♀️💐❤️🙏

水中推進時のアリゲーター味がかわいい

現代の戦いでは使えないの、かなぁ

ACVって、見るからにAAVに対して幅、長さ、高さとも巨大に見える。日本の国土だと持て余しそうな

なんか、浮いているだけのがシュールな感じがする。w

The ACV's actually a mighty cool machine, but it's so low in the water that I'd rather be aboard the bigger AAV7's they phased out. I admit that'd change if I ride one on a lake as a demonstration.

The MA deuce have served us well, but is a little antiquated for the 21st century. As an anti personnel and fire support for Infantry it's great, but as a vehicle mounted weapon that will engage light armored vehicles and fortification, not so much, they need to start jumping up to a 15mm or 20mm caliber as the standard vehicle mounted crew served weapon (latv apc tanks aav7 etcetera)

一コメ１９０２分😊

I wouldn’t want to be in that thing. We had one sink off the coast of California.

Not sure this vehicle makes sense, other then back up for osprey drops onto beach front. Must be able to move inland at least 50 miles. Also needs a Bradley gun. Not going to deploy highly trained troops into traps. Looks like sitting duck for drones

Expensive ammo for training.

For show only... you came there for Balikatan... meanwhile PCG is conducting Water Cannon test while you watch... 😂😂😂

What a piece of junk I spent 10 years in Amtrak's in the Marines amphibious assault bring out the Marine expeditionary fighting vehicle

Is this replacing the AAV?
