Matsimus: the LVTP-7 family was basically a swimming tracked vehicle built on the basic chassis that would become the Bradley. You could say that it's what happened if the Bradley were designed from Day 1 to do lots of swimming.

Thanks Matsimus very accurate commentary, I was trained as a 2141 amphibious assault vehicle repairman and ended up.as a 2149 Ordnance vehicle.Maintenance chief over the span of 91 to 2012. We called them Hogs or pigs as the earlier lvtp7 had round headlights similar to a pigs nose. Marines who operate these vehicles tend to love them however our experience in Iraq uncovered weaknesses Chief of which was survivability specifically a catastrophic kill in Barwana Iraq where a triple stack IED opened one up like a can. The driver was the only survivor. As a result of this Battalion commanders did not want to put their troops in them. And my last deployment to the sandbox we parked them and became grunts ourselves. I have cross trained with the Brazilians argentines Thais and now I see the Japanese have them as well as with the Taiwanese. They are very good at their original mission ship to shore and 15 miles inland can cope reliably with stretches closer to the Feba but its has too big a silhouette and survivability is bad. The EFV was canned as for being too expensive and failing relatability test. A new vehicle the MPC which is wheeled is being developed by BAE so maybe Marine corps Trackers will be a thing of the past. Our motto is Yat Yas you ain't track you ain't sh@$ lol the community of Amtrackers is pretty tight great job and keep up the good work.

The rear of the vehicle *will* fill with smoke and diesel fumes. They're slow in the water. The armament is pretty much a cap-gun on a modern battlefield. They're huge. They sure as hell cannot carry 21+3 Marines, this may have been true back in the mid-'80s but not anymore, we carry too much stuff and are generally larger. Usually, it's a squad of 13 or less. If you have any more than that then the Marines have to alternate between sitting and standing. Your feet/legs take up less room than your body and ass so that's what we end up doing. I have never felt safe riding in them. Every infantry Marine hates them and so do the crew and maintenance personnel. This is the most universally despised vehicle in the US Marine Corps.

I think the idea is to land where and when they aren't waiting for you. That's why they off-load out of sight from the beach.

just a few critiques. The crew that is on board is a vehicle commander/gunner, driver, rear crewman. The gunner and vehicle commander is the same person in the turret. The rear crewman is the guy who punches out the back at 10:54. His responsibility is to maintain discipline of the embarked troops in the troop compartment and notify the vehicle commander if the vehicle beings to take on water or have mechanical issues such as smoke coming out of the engine compartment or fires. The "mortar hatches" are actually called cargo hatches. It certainly does not have any kind of explosive reactive armor what so ever its just has EAAK (Enhanced Applique Armor Kits) armor which is simply bolt on external armor. It also does not have any of the night vision devises but instead thermal sights in the RAM RS models.

YAT YAS! 2141, 15th MEU, 1989-1993. Loved driving them, hated working on them. Cool trick to pull on Grunts: put a nickel or two in the top troop hatches, plunge off the back of a LPD and watch them newbs panic as water pours in the troop compartment! Never gets old, lol. Four bilge pumps, each pumping out 400 gpm...hard to sink a floating beer can. Semper Fi!

The LVT family starting in 1935 will always be one of my favorite vehicle series. Nice to see you reviewed its latest variant.

I was in highschool when the U.S. Navy and Marines sent an amphibious task force as representatives to the 50th anniversary of the Leyte Landings. I got to see these things up close and personal during the display after the re-enactments. Even got into the crew stations, and I must say, this thing is massive and roomy.

Btw we finally got 4 of them, _the first batch_ for the *Philippine Marine Corps.* Were getting _the second batch_ later this year, by *Christmas of 2019.* So that would bring a total of 8, also it ain't *American* but a _Korean-made_ the *KAAV7A1* is what they called it.

I enjoyed riding in these things. The benches made it feel like a roller coaster as it went over hills and across terrain. The tricky part was not having your face slam into the bulkhead or somebody's gear.

Please do a video on the amphibious assault ship. That would be rad!

A good subject for a new video would be the modern Chinese PLA Type 05 Amphibious Armoured Assault Vehicle family are a more recent equivalent of this vehicle. Apart from the troop carrier which has a 30mm and coaxial mg, there is also a Fire Support Vehicle/Light Tank version, Command vehicle, ARV, etc. The PLA ground forces and the PLA Marines both use several hundred of the Type 05 (which are still being built, along with the Type 04 IFV, the Type 03 Airmobile IFV and the Type 09 (8x8) IFV). The speed of these vehicles on the water is almost the same as the speed of other IFV/APC's on dry land.

@@patelivid1637 I know that the marines already want to put the oto-melara 30mm turret, just like the army is plamming to put a 30mm turret on the stryker, wich, in my opinion, is a good idea. Today these types of APCs can no longer support infantry with only a 50cal, they need longer range, airburst ammo to deal with entrenched infantry and the ability to destroy a technical-kamikaze in few hits. Also optional ATGMs are the standard nowdays and for good reasons. 25mm seems too little and the 40mm are too big to fit in such vehicles, especially if you want to have ATGMs too.

A small discrepancy I have with this video is the armor package called EAAK or enhanced appliqué armor kit is not ERA it is ceramic armor designed to cause ricochets it also does not drastically effect its mobility on land or in the water

When you consider that 2 of them carry a whole platoon and provide light fire support... They're pretty badass.

Quick notes, the crew layout is not driver, commander, and gunner as the gunner is the commander, the layout is driver commander/gunner and rear crewman. Some AAV P7 A1's do have a rocket system on the back, but this is mostly used in a mine/ied clearing role. And in addition to the UGWS two machine guns, they also host smoke grenades and a smoke generation system.

Its kind of amusing this hasn't been covered more... because it is a very useful and vital vehicle for amphibious assaults, even though it's ancient as hell,and badly need to be replaced.

IT WAS ADDED BACK!!! THANK YOU MATISMUS

Very informative! Keep up the stellar videos!

Matsimus - this is yet another video with an advanced perspective - this really should be made compulsuary study material for any officer that might be posted to execises in the Baltic region. There have been uploaded a lot of video's from the Baltic region where this vehicle has featured prominently. That is not strange considering the waters/terrain. Basically the entire Baltic shore is an estuary from more than one river with shallow to obscenely shallow waters - and some very long beaches. Let me point to the Gulf of Riga (Riga being the capital of Latvia) and Frisches Haff in the Khaleningrad area. Now the main idea in the Danish Navy is only to land at coasts where you are wellcome - preferably with proper port facilities - such as bars and McDonalds. But the USMC is considering the possibility that that might not be an option. Furthermore you might have to use the shallow waters might just be a place where you could have to drive/sail (the distinction is rather unclear here) ALONG the coastline, as the roads might not be under your control. You do ask (indirectly) if mines are not a consideration? The answer is definately. But 1) The general mine-pest are mines from WW1 and WW2 that were meant to sink a battleship - and if you bump into one of them then ANY vehicles protection will be overtaxed. I mean: An explosion of ½ ton of TNT directly under your tracks is liabel to cause more than a fender bender. 2) It is not that the contingency is not taken into consideration in so far as there is a standing Nato-mineclearing flotilla which - for the first time has had a Lithuanian commander. Now there are so many mines, that you obviously only clear the area you yourself might intend to use. If the russians invade, well ... no reason to help them. 3) The mines are so old, that the batteries went dead flat ages ago; so...... 4) Mines on the beach? Again a consideration, but that has more been on the western coast of Europe where the Germans laid tons and tons of them and the Danish army has gained some experience with clearing out remnants of those field. Actually aerial bombs is occationally a problem too. 5) Some of the beaches are actually so wide, that it is a viable proposition to land a Hercules on them - as witnessed by German tourists on the Danish West Coast. Am I not afraid the nasty enemy is reading my obeservations and consideration of such profound knowledge. No, on the contrary! I sincerly hope they do, as that will more probably than not mess with their limited mental powers. They will not know wether I'm joking or not - and if they hope to live they will have to consider that we might have been thinking and planning as well. We are in a phase where staff-officers are making a ton of plans - knowing full well, that no more than 1% of them will be executed.

Ready the Batod.

Generally shortened to P-7 or just amtrac, for 'amphibious tractor', though terms may have changed with time. I got to ride (even drive it a bit) during a dog & pony show back in the '70s. Those beasts are NOISY!! Back then, it seemed the crew was two, commander/gunner and driver, with the third cupola for the troop commander.

Late for streaming but never late for the video

In Puerto Rico we call it "el Gusano" aka. the worm.

Great video though! I forget sometimes that the aavs arnt ment to be used for anything past a beachhead lol, but we push them waaay beyond that.

Imagine how many lives could have been saved in World War II that technology was there at that time.

They used something similar in the Pacific campaign during ww2. It was a little smaller but had an open top. They were just to new a concept so unfortunately not a lot could be pushed out fast enough.

The US military used an earlier version of this vehicle called LTV "water buffalo".

A Land Boat? or A Sea Tank? No, it's just a wet big boi

Glad they put the door at the back instead of the front.

I remember seeing these things when I played flashpoint dragon rising you see them a LOT in there I love this machine

your the man matsimus cool vid

As someone who has rode in one of these, I can attest that they are absolutely miserable vehicles. A small passenger area leads to cramped uncomfortable conditons that make unloading incredibly slow. From my expirence they are rather unreliable. Just in training they go down regularly limiting the number of personnel that can be moved at a time and, I've even seen one sink from a shore to ship movement. Overall these things have been long overdue for a replacement for years.

In this context, "they go down regularly," might have been confusing.

It beats swimming ashore, or riding in a Higgins boat.

Diesel, stale air, pitching in the surf and vomit. What's not to like?

Every time I see it I imagine a happy hippo baby swimming xD

I love these! Especially the ones used by South Korea! :)

Please do a video on proposed future amphibious vehicles. I remember seeing the Japanese were developing one that could use speed over the coral reefs.

Very good review

some variants can lay a smokescreen by mixing diesel in their exhaust (like the Russian tanks can). This system will sometimes leak and produce "mini smokescreens" especially if it was just used.

You forgot that this vehicle was used by Argentina in the Operation Rosario and they are still in service to this day. Some british claim to have destroyed one, but its not true. They fired with a recoiless gun but, luckily for the argentinians, they missed and the 50. cal machine gun fire of the LVTP7 was enough to make the Royal Marines retreat to the governors house were they finally surrendered. A great vehicle that saw service all around the world but doesn't receive enough credit.

Love seeing these amphibious vehicles..i wonder if you can the same with amphibious tanks like the ZTD-05. Keep I the awesome job. :)

Lots of footage from Camp Pendleton.
