The insides of the Panzer 61, with a few features, some multinational, and some very uniquely Swiss. As ever, courtesy of the upcoming (May 2019) auction at Rock Island Auction Company.

Continuing the series, we are now looking at what makes the M60A3 TTS tick. With thanks to Master Gunner, Greg Pomerlau from the US Army Brotherhood of Tankers, and just catching up with the M1A2 I shortchanged.

Supporting the World War Two channel, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP1AejCL4DA7jYkZAELRhHQ The second in the series of videos discussing how various nations spent the time in between the two wars analyzing what did or did not work for their tank doctrines, how they were developed, and what th...

This time the discussion topics vary from the previous autoloader video, to any future tank except Bolos. 00:20 Is the Raytheon M60 SLEP upgrade a good purchase, how many could one buy for the price of a new MBT? 04:42 What are your top five computer games, tabletop games, and war movies? 08:08 A...

Part 1 of two. Edit: Since posting I have been informed of at least one armored train engaging tanks (in Poland) and have been told by a reliable source that my earlier source regarding Poland turning in Fireflies for 76s was a not uncommon misunderstanding: They actually turned in 75s for Americ...

Yes, it’s more guerilla footage, this time of one of the best aviation musea I have ever been to. For those new to the High Speed Tours, the primary purpose is to let you see what is there, and then decide for yourself if you want to make the trip to see it properly. No footage, no matter how goo...

We continue our high-speed tour of the Tank Museum. Again, we can expect that we'll come back to these vehicles in greater detail in the future, so this is just the 'what you can expect when you come visit the musuem' sort of tour.

[Update: sold for $74,750] Another vehicle which Rock Island Auctions is selling in Sept of 2018, and this is one of my favorites.

[Update: Sold for $23,000] Trying some towed artillery, with a famous history. This is another item on the auction block at Rock Island Auction Company, Sept 2018.

I was invited to go up to TankFest Northwest by the Flying Heritage Collection. I chose to address some of the common misconceptions about American armor in WW2. There were some post-facto pop-ups which were supposed to appear, but Youtube seems to have disabled the functionality. For example, th...

If you were to wander around the Tank Museum at warp factor three in about 2008 (It's changed a little since), this is something similar to what awaits you if you come check it out. Don't worry, between Tank Chats, Challenger's material, and my own videos, you can get more detailed information on...

There are many arguments about the "Best tank ever". There are only slightly fewer about the "worst", mostly covering obscure prototypes which justifiably never entered mass production.

However, we have here a tank which was produced in the triple digits, and in which nothing works right. The ...

Interview with Tom Sator I conducted in the summer of 2016. For Veterans Day, this is the full hour, raw, blue-screen, unedited, for those of you who want to hear all he has to say.

Tank destroyers were built to fit a doctrine. That doctrine revolved around being cheaper than tanks, faster than tanks, and having better vision than tanks. At least, so said the Germans in the 1920s. This video discusses the design requirements which were used to guide the creation of various a...
