    I've always been curious as to why nobody has tried putting the A-10's rotary cannon on a wheeled, or tracked chassis? Is it not a viable anti-tank weapon anymore?

    Drones are only as significant a threat as they are now, because they were relatively new and unexpected in the role and capacity they've been used in, in conflicts like Ukraine. Going forward, heavy development work has been put into short range air defence (SHORAD) and vehicles like the M10 are coming as standard with significant radio jammer suites in order to protect them from drones from above as well as IEDs from below.

    The centurion is Britain’s first MBT. It’s also the world’s first MBT. Not sure why a guy as knowledgeable as koala forgot this

  • @ArmorCast
    @ArmorCast14 күн бұрын

    Bit of a technicality. Chieftain was Britain’s first MBT that was DESIGNED as an MBT from the get-go. The Centurion was actually designed as a standard medium tank during WW2, and then became what’s called a “gun tank”, same as the M47 Patton, the M103, and the FV214 Conqueror (the latter two of which are often erroneously called “heavy tanks”). The first Centurion model that can be considered a proper main battle tank is the Mk.9 (or the Mk.7/2, but from memory the Mk.9 actually came first). A lot of people mistake the “main battle tank” as just being an alternate name for the “medium tank” in a world where “heavy tanks” no longer exist… but that’s not the case. Medium tanks, heavy tanks, gun tanks, and main battle tanks, are all distinct classes of vehicle. I actually meant to do a dedicated explainer video about this concept, but haven’t yet gotten around to it. The old KZread channel of ManyMilesAway has a decent explainer on the gun tank concept though

    There'd be something very wrong if it couldn't... Keep in mind that the T-90s seen in Ukraine are 20 years newer than Ukraine's Abrams (M1A1 variant). Even then, we're looking at 2 destroyed Abrams (at least one of which is repairable) to over a hundred and fifty destroyed T-90s (very few repairable)...
