​@@yungdaggerdic1625 I mean technically they were originally the same tank. So yeah, both are great tanks. It's just that during development Germany wanted a diesel engine and the US wanted a multifuel turbine engine. So the development split into two sibling designs bit both based on the same core concept. America just went with the best parts (read most expensive and hardest to maintain for a tiny bit of extra capability) plus depleted uranium armor in US only versions (no allies get that export model). While Germany went with easier to maintain parts that were mostly good enough. Obviously after that both countries added different upgrade packages. So the older Leopard 1 and M1-A1 are roughly the same generation, while the Leopard II and M1-A2 are the same generation too, and both a step up from the previous. Meaning a later Leopard II model is better than the base M1 or M1-A1, and the M1-A2 sep v2 or 3 is definitely better than the Leopard I. The latest Leopard 2A7 and M1-A2 Sep V3 are the latest generation of each (though there is a Sep V4 prototype and an Abrams X, but I digress). Generally US has slightly stronger armor but its more of a pain in the ass to upgrade/repair as it's not modular like the Leopard. As to fire power, they got the same cannon, so the only difference is ammunition which is a different topic but overall let's just say the or near tie. The Abrams has a more powerful engine but the tank is way heavier with all the stuff the US added, so it's a tiny bit slower. It's also less fuel efficient, but can use any fuel from diesel to jet fuel. So this is more a personal preference thing, the US wanted raw power to fit more stuff on it and heavier armor, plus more fuel options... the catch is they're slower with less range before needing to refuel. Also the Abrams engine is super quiet, it's nicknamed the whispering death, but while great at sneaking up vs people isn't that useful vs drones high in the sky. The one undisputed area the Abrams sepv3 beats the Leopard 2A7 is electronic. From fire control to electronic warfare and command and control the US has spared no expense. When US politicians brag about having the best tank in the world this is always their first bullet point. The Abrams is slightly more survivable. Beyond depleted uranium armor, it also has blowout panels. So unlike Russian tanks that blow their turret when hit. US Abrams have the ammunition sealed off from the crew and a hatch that "blows out" so that explosive force goes away from the crew. The Leopard doesn't have this. If you want to show off at a competition the Leopard will probably win due to its lighter weight and faster speed nearly every time... but in a war, the Abrams is slightly more survivable and has the edge in acquiring a target due to its electronics so can get rounds on the enemy faster. However... They're essentially just the same tank that two neighbors just customized differently at the end of the day. That prototype was called the MBT-70. While the US can afford all the extra bells and whistles they put on the Abrams for slightly improved performance in war at the cost of weight, fuel consumptionand, and speed, honestly when it comes to supporting Ukraine, the Leopard 2 is superior because it's more in their capabilities to maintain. What good is the slightly more technological tank if they can't repair it as well and supply it with fuel as easily? The Leopard was designed to be easier to work on which is great for a conscript army to learn to repair fast. The Abrams was the version where they wanted a few extra capabilities at the expense of being more difficult to maintain. This mindset is better for a standing army who can be trained before the war starts on it.

Oh yes without a doubt

As too the trouble with Boeings aircraft, yes they are issues, for anyone wondering why. Seriously, look up the age of the Boeing 707 and 737, look at when they were designed and first adopted, go look that up, then realize, the ones placing trouble with them, are privately owned companies, that have routinely neglected upgrades and good maintenance, all so they could a few bucks, while ever increasing the cost of tickets, and cramming more and more seats into the multiple decades old airframes, so they can squeeze even more dollars out the people that they have a monopoly over, those are the only ones having theses problems, the money hungry, multi billionaires who profit off of us, unreasonably, the us military has used the same exact aircraft even earlier than any private operators by a handful of years, they don’t have doors fall off, as they do proper maintenance, every day, all day long, and do upgrades as needed. So before anyone shits on Boeing, even more, how many decades did it take before this started happening, I’ll answer 3-5 decades…of constant, daily use flying all over the US and the planet. Before these problems happened, this isn’t Boeings fault, they worked for at least 3 decades, straight, with the bare minimum done by the civilian world. To keep them operating, it’s an airline problem. That refuse to spend any extra cent anywhere, because they are greedy scum. I worked on attack helicopters for the USMC even older than that, half my squadrons birds first flew and fought in early Vietnam. We never had a single part fall off, that wasn’t shot off, we, my unit had the best safety record of the entire US Military for many many years, and a lot of those years, were consecutive. The only time other units, of the same platforms had parts fall off. Was due to human error, by the maintainers. Never due to part failure, of a far more complex system, helicopters that are older, been through way more stress in flight, aka combat, literally being shot, and pulling way g’s and etc than book says is acceptable and constant flight in training also. Trust me, Boeing knows how to make aircraft, very well, it’s not a design fault on their part, it’s an operator issue.

Only the Boeing 737 Max 9, had a problem. None of the others in the 737 "family" have had that problem. Neither do the 747, 767, 777, or 787 families. Although Boeing does make a couple of missiles (as do Lockheed Martin, and Northrup Grumman), most of the US military's missiles are made by Raytheon.

You need at least two aircraft carriers to be able to power project at any time. Having at least one in for maintenance at any given time is the reason. Also, China counts all of it's craft, including Patrol Boats, in their count. That makes them the largest navy in the world. China claims 730 "vessels". North Korea claims 519, for the same reason (mostly obsolete and noisy diesel submarines). The US Navy has 470, including the reserve fleet. Of these about 300 are battle force ships, with 280 ready for instant deployment. China has a battle force navy of about 170. North Korea is a big question mark, but certainly nowhere near these amounts. Canada has the advantage of being friendly neighbors with the strongest military in the world, and has lived under that umbrella since WWII. Canada has 34 commissioned vessels, with 12 being battle force. Now, the Australians have 50 commissioned vessels, with a battle force of 28. However, the Aussies are in a "build" mode and will be adding to that number (thank you China). Japan has 155 vessels, with 80 battle force. Japan is also converting at least one, maybe both, of their Helicopter Carriers, to accept the S/VTOL F-35B. Japan is also acquiring 12 new Frigates to add to their battle force. South Korea has 160 commissioned ships, with 80 battle force.

I would like to comment on the Boeing statement. The divisions that build military equipment is separate from commercial products. Generally a commercial corporation splits their company into a separatly governed entity under a defense contract. They share the same resources as their parent but have their own leadership and production facilities and standards. Especially with vehicles, miltary vehicles are not built in the same factories that build commercial products. There are also onsite military officials, usually, that reports on the quality of the products and are involved in the board meetings.

The Stealth B-2 bomber does, in fact, get used. Starting in 1999 in Kosovo. In 2003 in Afghanistan and during the Iraki war. In 2011 they were used as part of a UN directed operation in Lybia, where they dropped 40 bombs having flown directly from the US to Lybia refuling on air four times. Prior to the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in March 2011, they had considered an airtrike by B-2s as alternative using bunker busting bombs. This was rejected due to potential damage to nearby buildings. In 2017 two B-2 attacked an ISIS training camp in Lybia.

There's a great video out there of a tour of a ballistic missile silo where they actually have the guests sit at the control consoles and go through the process of a launch where the President has authorized it. They have them authenticate the message with the decryption cards, enter the program in the message into the computer to program the missiles with their targets. Then they have to do the confirmations to launch and turn the keys and hit the button. The truly scary thing that is made very clear is that once the vehicle starts that launch process, it can not be stopped. It severs connection to the silo and is running on its own battery and computer. There is no abort button, no abort code, no self destruct. And it's crazy to see the person sitting in the chair have to process and deal with the immense weight of pushing that button knowing that.

MIL-SPEC is different than commercial. Also, what people don't realize is that commercial aircraft are typically 50 years old. They're supposed to be retired after 25 years, but the costs of maintenance vs buying new planes is substantial.

In many ways, the US & Canada are like siblings, sometimes they argue & disagree, but like brothers & sisters, they have each other's back. Since the 1950's they shared Air defenses for North America (NORAD), they have been allies in just about every war in the last 100 years, they are each other's biggest trading partners and have the longest demilitarized border in the world. I don't think many Canadians are concerned the US is going use their military against them. FYI - A lot of people don't know, but Canada was a part of the Manhattan Project.

Today, the U.S. is supplying Ukraine with a lot of these missiles, drones, and other weapons for them to use on the Russian military.

The US military machine is constantly upgrading as well. Several of the weapons platforms given to Ukraine are items the US aren't using or were going to decommission. Several of the ATACMS missiles were no longer in use because they were made in the 1990's. Canada had warehouses full of air to ground rockets made in the 60's and 70's, no longer in use by modern planes waiting to be dismantled.

This video barely scratched the surface about the military might of the United States.

I'd like to see videos comparing sizes of planets, stars, and galaxies in the universe. I watched some of them and the will blow your mind.

One problem the US military has is the cost of its military. The USA spends more on its military than the next ten largest militaries combined..

What amazes me is that the B-2 Spirit has a wingspan of 53 yards, 3 yards wider than an American football field, but also only has a radar cross section of a bee. The aliens have been kind to us lol.

I'm impresses by the Ginsu missle. It has no explosives but does have blades that pop out before hitting its target leaving no collateral damage in populated areas. It slices through a vehicle like butter and simply de-limbs its victims within. Wicked for sure.

Yuma proving ground, tests all military equipment except ships. Also the proving ground in Nome Alaska is where all cold weather testing is done, also this is an old video, we now have Space Force, and Lazer weapons 2 are in use now mounted on ships. Also a lot of this technology has been battle tested in the Iraqi, and Afghanistan, wars, and also we sent our smart bombs and HIMARS launchers to the Ukraine to assist them, the stealth fighters and bombers were used in the Middle East, and also the drones, we are fully aware of our weapon systems capabilities.

I live on the border with Canada and we do everything together and also trained with them while in the US Marines. I party with them, eat with them, shop with them, go to sporting events with them, etc. #1 reason not to mess with Canada: USA is their best friend. (just not Trudeau)

GPS guidance for missiles and aircraft can be spoofed, so GPS is now being backed up for verification of data by inertial navigation that does not use outside information and Ground Mapping Radar which compares the ground image with an internally stored map of the Earth terrain. And as more sophisticated sensors are added to military systems, more confirming and verifying data is provided to human operators to make the final decisions on weapons use or non-use.

San Diego. When you are in the presence of these vessels, Awe Struck! ❤

Being a fourth generation vet that also spent almost 20 years for DOD contractors, the quality controls are far past what is seen outside. The depth and detail, not to count the procedural contract requirements and testing. DOD contracting for military munitions and weapons are in a whole other level of quality. Oh you might want to checkout ( if you haven't yet ) Americans being attacked by the Russian mercenary group Wagner is the middle east. It will give you an idea of capabilities in real situations.

They showed the 6 Satellites in the video. Cool 😎

And, now there's the Air Force's B-21 bomber that's an order of magnitude more stealthy than the B-2 @12:24 Unmentioned is, what's called, the CEP: Circular Error Probability, of the warheads is the radius around a designated set of coordinates at which the warhead will land 'within' at least 50% of the time. We're talking scores of meters (metres).

we’re in the process of doing a six generation aircraft jets. We also have more drones than anyone in the world military drones that is. We even have drones that can fill jets instead of putting a big tanker in the air. They have drones that can do it pretty cool.

Those jet fighters at 1:44 are Russian Sukhoi Su-57's . Did I miss the change of focus not mentioning the change of country. It was meant to promote US Superiority , Not the latest state of the art of Russia.. The F-117 Nighthawk was retired from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) in 2008. Yet, unusually, the F-117 is still flown regularly, some sixteen years after being retired.

This video left out tons of things, but is overall correct, like others said it’s a good 2-3 years old by now. For the nuke part, our SLBM’s can carry up to 8 MIRVs per missile and they can each carry like 18-20 missiles per Boomer sub, the ones that can launch nukes, specifically the Ohio class are called boomers. They used to be be able to carry 24 missiles per sub, with up to 8 warheads per missile, before they were treaty limited, even the treaty limited ones can fit an entire nation, that’s one sub, can effectively remove a nation from war, of it came to it. The rest, like 4 of them. We turned in cruise missile boats, that carry a stupid amount of cruise missiles only, but those still have up to a 1000 NM range, depending on models they are carrying. Those can cripple a region of a nation during war, just one. And our spending is over 800 billion USD per year on defense budget, all this is public knowledge for anyone who doesn’t know, I’m giving away any secrets. For the one or two who might think that. And we have 600-1000 base’s overseas, depends on who you listen to, but the best list that was made, from unclassified material is over 800 bases….as to Carriers, we operate more carriers than the rest of the world combined. And the only nation that has all super carriers, aka, big carriers that are nuclear powered, and kore than 2 of them. Like France UK’s carriers are smaller and oil fired boiler, along with most other nations carriers, limits their range to 15000 km without refueling. Our Nimitz class don’t need to refuel for 20 years. The new class of which I think two are operating by now, have upped that needing 25 years before refueling the reactor’s. And we’ve used every weapon system listed here, on combat except our ICBM’s yes, we were bombing the taliban with the greatest and most capable bomber ever made, with the B-2, and JDAMS and cruise missiles, a wee bit overkill. But hey. It’s what we got to use. We also bombed ISIS with the F-22 and F-35. Once again we got them. May as well use em.

This video is years old. You guys should react to the updated version. Surprisingly in only a few short years, the US military has gotten significantly more tech and numbers

The military complex is a closed circuit, basically no outside connections are allowed except in secure situations. Also they have their own power which is unaffected by the powergrid, and back up power as well. Now that doesn't mean it's not possible, it just makes it a lot harder to breach. Also they have backup so while a lot of it is being converted to drones, there are still men who can be on the ground, air, or sea when needed.

Our Navy is so advanced because much like you guys for us to project power. We must cross a giant ocean because we don’t have any interest in fighting Canadians or Mexicans, smiles. To be a world power isolated across two giant oceans requires a very advanced navy which nobody can match. Not only do we have to have naval power but we also have to be able to move our military to far away land very quickly.

All the branches work together for cyber security but Army is or was in charge of it. Also our military technology the vast majority is insulated and hardened against EMP. We might go down but at most for an hour.

Welcome & thank you!

In your comments at the end, you mentioned the US companies. Saying "Boeing ...door falls out". Just like the bad press of the tire falling off a Boeing plane during takeoff, mostly, not 100%, but due to the airlines maintenance facilities. United has a big on in Indianapolis. American Airlines in Tulsa. Both at the airports there. If I buy a Mercedes and 10 years later my tire falls off, well, it was replaced by a tire store in the past 10 years. Not Mercedes original equipment. Most planes are AT LEAST 10 years old.

We have Lasers in use currently while also increasing their power. We also have 6th generation fighter jets in early production while developing 7th gen aircraft/drones with hypersonic stealth weapons also. They didnt mention that the US population is also very well armed and most understand how to use them. (Japanese didnt invade Mainland US in WWII because they said behind every blade of grass is a man with a gun) Our military is increasing in size and capability also. New Aircraft Carriers bigger and more capable then the Nimitz class are being built etc. Simple fact is that America love us or hate us have always come to the aid of freedom loving peoples and never once taken over after the war was won. We always turn the country back over to the people. We literally could have dominated the whole of Europe after WWII.

I always love that the U.S. Air Force is the largest in the world. The 2nd largest Air Force in the world is the United States Navy. Just mind boggling to thing about.

IKR. I've always felt that the Air Force has the coolest planes and doesn't get nearly enough accolades for the arsenal it provides!

The thing not a lot of videos make clear, and many people don't really get, is that the US Navy is essentially the ONLY navy in the world capable of deep ocean operations. The majority of navies have only ever been built for local stuff, so they never really wander super far from land. But the US is separated on both sides by massive oceans, so our navy has to be able to operate anywhere on Earth, at a moments notice. It's the nature of the threats that any given country faces and their location relative to them that drive such development. So the US being so very well isolated from everything geographically has forced it to develop the ability to be able to deploy anywhere, any time, with as little hassle as can be managed.

You asked about the spending well that's why we have no health insurance and massive homelessness

"The Fat Electrician" has great history and is an awesome storyteller. Funny dude

In the latest data[2023] the United states spends $916 billion per year on defense . That is more than the next 10 countries combined.

Yall should react to "The Fat Electrician" former US Army Medic. Who has been doing positive stories about the Military for 2 years. He tells it light hearted with comedy. You will learn you will laugh. Honestly any of his vids are worth the look. But may I recommend "Old Age and Treachery" or "Porportional, when America took out half of Iran's navy in 8 hours"

When I was in military I worked with both the American Army and the Marines though the Marines were more checked out.

Well said brother and Simper Fi . ❤🇺🇸

US military has a few dozen specialty tech smaller companies that build weapons. General Dynamics is one of the larger companies.

@20:00 - oh we test them, we use them, and they are extremely reliable 🤣

And God bless AMERICA

We actually have 20 carriers. 11 are super carriers the other 9 are operated by the Marines for VTOL plans and helicopters.

They will never do away with boots on the ground.

Our military equipment is battle tested in many places to ensure it meets our standards

Combat Infantry Desert Storm Veteran. 1987-1991

Even crazier to me..... Radar is tracking bumble bees?, What's next falling leaves

Just think, we know we're far ahead of the world just based on the systems we know about. Imagine the things we've never even heard of.
