How to Fight: The Tank / Mechanized Infantry Team || Vintage US Army Video

ASP's Blog: (autoshowcaseproject.blogspot.com/)
ASP PRESENTS:
A vintage US Army video demonstrating in knowing how to fight tanks and supporting mechanized infantry units. This was developed during the 70s and early 80s. The significant potential enemy force was the Soviets and the spread of Communism.

    Low velocity tank rounds are better suited for killing fortifications (you can pack more explosives into a shell as high velocity rounds need thicker casings for the stress of high speeds). Its less a 'we can't make a high speed shell' and more 'we want to balance our tank's ability to engage both fortifications AND other tanks', among other factors.

    the issue here is that he was talking about high velocity AP rounds. The fortifications are attacked with HE rounds not AP. Those high velocity AP rounds do not have casings, its a very simple "metal dart" not hollow charge full of explosives.

I consider myself privileged to have been a kid during the '80's when we said the pledge of allegiance first thing in school, the Soviets were the 'evil empire' and Reagan built up our military to a cutting edge after a serious post-Vietnam slump. It seems we've lost our 'can do' optimistic outlook and now have this deep rooted cynicism for anything that makes us feel remotely patriotic.

    The only thing that bothers me is that they were not talking about soviet top of line equipment of those days. In 1976 the soviets had much more advanced antitank missiles AT-4 and AT-5. They also had the T-64 and T-72 a generation ahead of T-62 and M60 tank. Another thing that was omitted was the Soviet Artillery, which was extremely destructive.

Later the determination was that the tank was the T-64.

I remember reading in the late 1980s about the latest small arms development like micro-Uzi, Lynx and Defender helicopters, Merkawa tanks etc etc cool stuff. If regular citizens could read about foreign military kit, there's little doubt specialists had access to Jane's publications and internally produced videos. The Soviets were somehow fascinated with the Israelis, the US-Israel military cooperation, that whole thing. To this day, the phrase "amerikano-izrayelskaya voyenschina" (American-Israeli military circles) triggers chuckles among post-Soviet dudes.

    you really must be private joker if you think our goal wasn't to wipe vietnam completely off the map. Dropped more bombs (7 million tons) on that rain forest of a country than all of WW2 combined. take into account the advancement of technology and lethality of the strikes and you end up with a country that was and still is as decimated as it would have had we dropped nukes. But for obvious reasons we could not do that, so it became the largest air campaign in military history. Had to use that massive budget somehow right?

    Yes. In fact the Soviets were planning to use tactical nukes from day one. That was the battle plan. This was revealed after the fall of the Soviet Union and the release of the Soviet files. They did not intend to use strategic nukes but for example they planned an amphibious flank invasion of Denmark to draw away NATO reserves. 500 tactical nukes were to be used in that battle alone. scary right? They calculated that The USA would not go Strategic nuclear over battlefield nuclear release.

    Im from Poland. In WWIII my countrys role was to secure enough river crossings on the Oder river for our Soviet "allies" when the US tactical nukes hit normal bridges to stop the Soviet armored armored waves. Then the Polish army would be used for low priority roles - to take Denmark. Poland was a puppet state so that kind of planning was fine with "our" generals.

    All missile systems give away their position when fired to some extent. The sagger is completely typical. It isn't a weakness in any way. How fast can the arty respond? You need to have seen where the sagger launched from in the first place, and if you put a smokescreen between it and yourself, you can't exactly take a long hard look at where it came from. You also couldn't use your rangefinder in that case, again, because of the smoke. So you had to make a guess of where it is, find it on your map, and then contact artillery HQ to get them to put a few shots there. Assuming that they are just sitting there picking their noses, how long will they take to confirm the request, aim at their new target and fire? The Sagger takes 23 seconds to travel 3 km, so if you are within its engagement envelope, you have 23 seconds at best to do all of that. Plus, if you deploy a smokescreen, you broadcast your position to everyone, including helicopters. And when you deploy a smokescreen, you have to stay behind it, so you are a stationary target. What if the Rooskis decide to call artillery on your smokescreen?

    "this war is gonna be more deadly than ever!" that was stupid to say even in that time period. Troop concentrations were waaay less than they were in WWII battles. In general, the further you go back in time, the more concentrated units would have been because of communication and firepower restrictions, this is what made the American Civil war so deadly. A modern war isnt even half as dangerous as a war at the turn of the 20th century, it was a bloodbath back then.
