Fact: during the Bosnia-Kosovo conflict of the 1990’s, Western European nations sent peacekeepers to Bosnia to deter Serbian agression and genocide. For a short while, Serbia decided to confront these forces (including US forces), and in one such fight a Serbian T-54/55’s decided to take on French ground forces. An ERC 90 went after a T-54 and shadowed it in the narrow streets where the T-54 couldn’t maneuver effectively. The ERC 90 took it out.
Thanks to its small size, light weight and great speed, an Erc 90 can face a superior armored vehicle if the terrain allows it, as in this case, a city, or it could also be a hill Or a forest, and on top of that thanks to the power of its 90mm Spanish-Swiss turret, which has incredible penetrating power.
Especially in the asymetrical wars in Africa and the Middle East where much of the opposition (Insurgent groups) uses modified (re: lightly armoured) civilian vehicles, or older model armoued vehicles. Plus it is low cost and lightweight, so it can get to places fairly quickly and not break the bank of the nations using it.
The ERC90 is a very good compromise for what it was intended to do. I only served with the petrol engine version, that has its issues. The canon is great and very precise, only hampered by its electrical turret motors that is not ideal.
@@Knightmare919 Well... I am not sure what you mean with the name "light tank" Sure it got a very good gun. However the armour is very thin and you have to be cautious with how you exposed yourself. I suppose it all depends what you want to do. Please, don't read any criticism in my reply. I just would like to understand what you mean, and I would be happy to explain the best I can
I think France is a very interesting case on how to build an expeditionary army on a budget, it doesn’t have the US level of funding so it build and use very specific vehicles for different role, it also prefers using wheeled platform a lot more than tracks as it is more efficient and low cost compared to the more robust tracked platforms.
The effectivness of an old weapons platform depends on what's on the other side, even a stone can still be effective by todays standards. But the ERC90 was a marvelous fast intervention platform indeed.
An excellent vehicle for its time, rather made for reconnaissance or ambushes for the Western European theater. On the other hand, for secondary operations theaters like Africa, its tropicalized version does a very good job. But the machine was only worth its crew (and as it was often one of the 2 REC vehicles) the job was done. NB: REC; Foreign cavalry regiment.
Very good show. But you need a new mike or subtitles. The voice is often hard to understand and sometimes I miss important things you say. But as I said, you’re a real star and that is why non-native speakers (not me, I am native english speaker) are watching your show but maybe they don’t get it loud & clear. Like me. Thanks!!!
Too nice video video about light armoured vehicle Panhard ERC90 France producing..video clearly explaining of all characteristics of this successful armoury vehicle also its expanding and uses by several countries that caused building several versions of it classic design .thanks for sharing
Panhard a était très probablement le plus grand innovateur de l'automobile française avec les cylindres a chemise coulissante, les barre de torsion et les barre anti roulis Ces voitures dans les années 30 était les plus belles et performante
@Francky Vincent oui c'est bien vrai mais tout d'abord pas de familiarité nous n'avons pas gardé les porcs ensemble, ensuite n'oubliez pas que l'orthographe est la science des ânes
Indias IA doesn't give f***k about, these vehicles. They will import tanks. Now they are asking for light tank against China, but never focused or pushed for such platforms for infantry support in terrains like ladakh.
Or the Arcus Jaguar successor @11:46 with its 40mm auto multi-ammunitions ! Griffon, Jaguar, Scarabée will be a true game changer in multi-tasking mission. Take some info's about those badboys, worth it.
imagine this thing gets hit in the wheel by a 152 mm caliber shell and maintains 70kmh on a battlefield doing physically impossible turns..... yeeees, that's World of tanks
In Mexico the ERC-90 Lynx it's use like a tank, and of course it isn't the way must be use it. Also it hasn't never upgraded, basically is the same version of the 80's, it doesn't have night capacity or gun stabilitation (also the F1 gun can not fire APSDS ammo) and the engine is the same. The mexican army only repainted it with pixel camuflage. It's a great scout car but not for combat directly.
It does exist : it is named the " VAB HOT" . Still used in french army nowadays. Have a look, it is one of another strange vehicule that France enjoys to maintain. Sorry for my bad english.
"French ERC-90 destroyed Bosnian Serb T-54 tank on 2km distance, in 1995 inside the city of Sarajevo"??? Interesting indeed but the issue is that Bosnian Serbs possessed zero T-54s, like - not a single one, due to a fact that back in 1970 we transferred all 150 T-54s that we had in our inventory to Egypt.
@@rembrandtshadows The author of this channel also stated in the MILAN 2 video that "During the Bosnian War in 1995, the French soldiers destroyed Serb M-84 tank after months of provocation by Serbs" which is a total nonsense.
Epic Censorship: Beautiful little Vibe Hard to justify this even as a Lesser Stopgap Highly suggest later French Cheap Tanks if Yuh need Stopgap VehicleS and ArmS Tanks Just saying
This vehicle is for reconnaissance and COIN operations including internal security not for engage MBTs. Even military with tanks would not going into a fight without this vehicle's support.
I think you missed the point Max. Its for patrolling vast lonely areas, is much faster than properly armored units, and would be hard pressed to stop a BMG. Against lightly armed insurgents, its great. Against the vast number of North African insurgents, its great. In Europe and and the Middle East, its great for recon and mischief.
