You can still load the main gun manually without using the magazine. That is where the extra stowage ammo come into play, different types are loaded manually by the commander as needed, the magazines are generally loaded with HE if enemy armour is not expected.

Honestly I don't believe that. Take a look at this cutaway view: 2.bp.blogspot.com/-9sqVUgTSudM/VkSz5kCovUI/AAAAAAABpwU/lKOwHRIYcbU/s640/amx13.gif.. With such little place how should the commander get extra rounds out of the hull an put them into the muzzle? Maybe with "smaller" (and the ammuntition of the original German 7,5-cm-KwK 42 L/70 had been rather large in fact: thepanzertrap.com/images/PANAMMO%20AP%20TYPE%201%20WOOD2.png ) 75 mm rounds it might have worked, but certainly not with the later 90 mm or 105 mm rounds . . .

its no longer in service with Singapore since around 2007. Switched to the Leopard 2. Singapore at one time had 350 of these, the largest operator of AMX-13. Upgraded with modern 350hp diesel engines, laser rangefinders, modern communications, etc. and indigenous APFSDS rounds.

Thank you sir for restoring it and making it available for a nice video.

Would like to add a short note here that in 2010, all SM-1 (Singapore's version of AMX-13) has been decommissioned and scraped. Therefore it is not true that it is still in service in Singapore in 2015.

When shooting the main gun with the AMX13-105, one should never traverse the gun outside the tracks or it would tip over from the recoil. We (the fortunate ones in the Centurions) called it the shooting rollerskate. The AMX13 was worn with army-issued suspenders and its tank commander had to bend or flex his whole body depending on whether the main gun (thus the turret) elevated or depressed. Reload was quick (think seconds) but it took a while before the whole verhicle calmed down and back into some semblance of battery after firing the main gun. Otherwise, a neat little package of vicious destruction to possible adversaries.

The old lady was like "The French are invading, run!!!" :O

Singapore doesn't use the AMX-13 anymore. That kinda Infantry support / Light Tank role has been taken by the Bionix AFV. Most of the armor fleet had been updated over the years from the AMX-13 and Centurion she was using as her main battle tanks, to the Bionix and the Leopard 2A4.

+French Bomber Sold for export, mainly to israel; I had the pleasure of working on different models of AMX-13 on gun 90mn, armed missile section of a cannon 75mn and 4 SS11 missiles to finish on 13 VBCIs Milan. I was hot inside but also very very cold because of engine placement in the front right causing an air suction from the turret well to the engine compartment. Its rate of fire is impressive with the system of "loader", a good crew could put 6 shells of the same trajectory in less than a minute, useful especially in artillery support, some tank commander engage themselves in the shell barrel by a good bed on the rear of the munition. This infantry tank was a wonder of design, are easy maintenance. His faults are air supply and the noise he made while driving by are ventillateur. if not that fun to drive. In addition it was equipped with a hydraulic troubleshooting starting system that has allowed the crew to start the gear in case of battery failure or breakage of starter .The following 8-cylinder flat was equipped with magneto we could cut independently of the other, the use of magnétot allowed to use the boot system Hydraulic ride on the back of moteur .The grip of the unsynchronized gearbox is tricky but once used is no longer made the difference with a sync box. Only the crew size is a handicap, + 1m75 sorry you will have to fight on foot .... LoL

I was at Spangdahlem AB, West Germany in the 1980s and they had about 20 of these things in the woods of the base for a big NATO exercise called "Salty Demo." I saw one driving around the base leaking oil everywhere on the 4th of July for some reason. The USAF Security Police (now called Security Forces") were fooling around with them. I think they had a mistaken impression USAF cops were USAR infantry! :)

All the pple in da cars like, "WHAT IS A TANK DOING NEXT TO MY HOUSE??!?!?!?" They probably thought that was the actual army taking a alternate route...

such a beauty

Just for the record, Singapore has already phased out the AMX 13 quite sometime ago and is currently operating the Leopard 2.

Had some good shots of some controls but disappointed that we could not look around the interior in each fighting position.

Vive la French and all their oddball but rather effective designs, those who've driven a Citroen GS just know.

If I am not mistaken this tank played a role in inspiring Major General Israel 'Talik' Tal ("The Father of Merkava") to have the engine at the front for Merkava tank.

awesome

The radio at 2:06 is a WW2 tank radio. When was this specimen built?

Singapore 🇸🇬 Military SAF Army had Bought Second hand AMX 13 Light Tanks 300 from France 🇫🇷, India 🇮🇳 and Israel 🇮🇱 models in the 65s era. The AMX 13 was Upgraded by Singapore 🇸🇬 Technologies kinetics (STK) on the 90s with Detriot Diesel Engines with Automatic Transmission with Pneumatic Suspension for easy Fast speed handling Rough Terrains and muddy tracking.

Haha could you imagine the insurance companies reaction when he called in to insure this? How the hell did they even figure out its liability/rate etc??

J'aime trop L'AMX 13

One thing he doesn't mention is, that there is a gap between turret and hull where there is no armor at all (and can't be added), just a canvas. This exposed crew in the turret to fire even from small guns and shrapnels. That's one big point why this turret design isn't used often today.

AMX-13 is a really interesting design..

How much spaced armor protection does the stamped steel shovels add?

The Song when the Guy is driving the Tank was the Old Victory Song

So the amx was a tank destroyer/light tank hybrid.... Interesting.

The AMX-13 which now currently operating in Indonesia has been modified with 105mm gun, which now change the name be AMX 13 105. But I wonder how is combat with these tanks versus modern MBT such PT-91, Leopard 2 or M1 Abrams from its neighbor countries. Hmm...difficult to know.

I think in Brazil it have 1 or 3 AMX 13 105 prototype but it is not entered mass production due to its goddamm recoil of the gun and the turret cant endure the recoil

The ultimate convertible? Roadable as well, traffic jams not a problem!

Where is this ??, looks very yorkshire :)
