These Swiss folks sure do know how to pick music for their films.

The tank that is being developed was a project calle Panzer 74. it got canceled but it would have been similar to the Chieftain in many ways, maybe a bit more mobile though it was supposedto use the same gun as the Chieftain for example

Interesting to watch - and relaxing! I can’t help but notice how well everything seems to be made. This being Switzerland, I probably shouldn’t be surprised. 🙂🇨🇭

I think the thing to take from this is they maximised the spending of Swiss Taxation in Switzerland ! Unlike what goes on, world wide, today. Great video.

wonderful, in my language and i have my great-granderfather who was a chef during ww2 and the brother of my grandmother was in the army during the time of this reportage

The motorcycle rider 57 seconds in is really going all out 😂🤣

Great upload and subtitling! Thanks a lot. Enjoy the quality and narrative, good things even today.

I own a stg 57 bayonet assembled in Waffenfabrik Bern in 1982 with a Wenger made and marked blade. I love how stylish and durable Swiss gear is too, also being the proud owner of 2 bread bags, one vinyl covered one made in 1981 and a salt and pepper one made in 1965.

Very interesting watch, thanks for taking the time to translate it Dale!

The start of the Bloodhound missile was impressive!

To watch, just for the 70' music.

Thank you for sharing yet more interesting footage with us

It's a unique material, thank you for posting!

Great stuff! Thanks for posting it and for the sub titles as well.

Another wicked soundtrack! Interesting vid :) thanks for the subtitles!

Nice video! Always cool to see late 1960s computers and manufacturing processes. My first job out of college (in 1987) was as a civilian employee (Federal civil service) of the US Army supporting tank and artillery ammo. Ah the memories...

Thank you Dale!

Love it, plz upload more. Danke!

Great presentation, thanks

Worth it just for the crazy jazz intro music!

Gracias gran video! 👍👍👍

Those videos are super interesting to me, because my dad served during that time in the army... Hearing stories from him (mountain greandier) is one thing, but seeing stuff or how its made , is a totally different thing. Also its an interesting time capsule into a time i heard a lot about but didnt witness myself. Ok yea and im a electormechanical engineer... there is also a certain "professional" interest n those machines of this specific video. Or in other words: Läck bobi so geil!

So we can see what happens to inon bombs dropped from supersonic aircraft and know to propel and control them. But the seems to be only one way to find out what happens to the driver when his lorry tumbles down the slope - the non lethal way, that is. I wonder if the lorries are driveable after that by a fresh driver. Battery acid has done for a few cars after a simple roll. The real reason that this film can be released is because the army had gone a step ahead. Yes, I was brought up to know electromechanical devices and thermionic valves.

Love the music.

The Pinzgauer Truck was called the rolling grave. The center of gravity was way too high and many soldiers got killed during maneuvers.

The backing music was the Swiss most deadly weapon.

De quand la Suisse était un pays et son armée une vraie armée crédible et craignable.

If you wish to see the German version of this, click the link in the description. Unfortunately, my native language isn’t German, so it would be impractical for me to subtitle this.

tripping to the music

A runway with a huge mountain at the end, you better have 4 boosters, nice footage

Molto interessante.

Excellent ! Quand la main de l'homme savait encore façonner la matière ! Belle époque.

I was not prepared for that music, how on earth does it work so well‽

Its kind of sad seeing all the infrastructure for creation used for maintenance instead. Stagnation leading to crumbling. The results of the frantic era of destruction focusing on the abomination Army95 was a mistake.

You cant sustain any army of 800000 men when economy is focused on making money. Too much losing working hours.

@Random Pickle we decrease troops from more than 2/3 650k to 240k for finally reach 83000 today

Fascinating look at manufacture and trialling of military gear. I wonder how much of this industry remains in Switzerland? I use a B&T APC .223 carbine for my home defence rifle. The fit and finish of Swiss made arms are still amazing.

@Random Pickle we only follow the menace from the warsaw pact during the 90's completly collapsed with the end of URSS. Neo liberals as you call it are far right industry big guns who wanna supressing all rules for making money and laundering it in fiscal paradises. The exact contrary of leftists who can called progresives and in a no manners " liberals"

I remember seeing this in my RS. However I am not sure it is a 1968 film. In it I see some equipment which was handed out to the troops a bit later. Specifically 1971 helmets and a 1974 12cm mortar being spray painted. Although the helmet was possibly some test run, I think the mortar was a bit early to be in industrial production.

When all the modern jets, tanks, armored vehicles, advances Radars and communications fail... Remember Switzerland still has homing pigeons!

The Panzer 61/68 shown here in production was a Swiss development that was more or less a flop. Not really modern at the time and the tanks had teething problems, gearboxes and electrics that could only be partially remedied when the tank and the Centurion were replaced by Leo 2 A4s. Nevertheless, the Swiss army was quite well equipped until the mid-1980s. Several hundred battle tanks: Centurion Pz61/68 and almost 600 combat aircraft: Mirage, Hunter, Venom, Vampire and later 160 F5E Tigers were added.
