The first of the Army's Christie-type tanks, which they put a lot of effort into testing in the 1930s, came in two designations: Convertible Medium Tank T3, and Convertible Combat Car T1. This is one of those two vehicles, though in fairness, we're not quite sure which. After editing, I'm mostly ...

The M67 Flame Thrower Tank was a modification of the M48 to be burny instead of shooty. Three variants were made, the M67 and M67A2 for the Marines, and the Army's M67A1. Thanks to the ACC and the Patreons for making the trip possible. ACC Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/ArmorandCavalryCo...

The M51 was the companion vehicle to the M103 heavy tank. This video, oddly, gives us the tour, inside and out, of the major parts of this purpose-built vehicle mainly used by the Marines, and now located at the US Army's Armor and Cavalry Collection in Ft Benning, GA. Thanks to the ACC and the P...

Textron is submitting what it's terming its "M5" to meet US Army requirements. This particular one is optimised for the Counter-UAS role (i.e. anti-drone configuration, in plain English).

There is no vehicle more critical to the US military than the Bluebird All-American. Pretty much every serviceman and woman has been on one of these things from the day they they entered basic training. It has no armor, no guns, and is entirely unglamorous, but you always loved seeing one roll up...

[Correction: The left pedal is another brake pedal for double the braking force] The BDX was in effect a Timoney armored car from Ireland produced under license in Belgium by Behermen Demoen. I wish I could say it was a shining example of Irish military vehicle design. Filmed at the War Heritage ...

The alternate proposal for the MPF program was the BAE XM1302. Again, I walk around the vehicle with the MPF product manager LTC George, and pepper him with unexpected questions in order to shed a little more light on this platform as well. Vehicle filmed at Warren, MI, courtesy of PEO GCS. Given...

Again, I walk around the vehicle with the MPF product manager LTC George, and pepper him with unexpected questions in order to shed a little more light on this platform as well, whilst also trying to figure out what it's like on the i...

Six Ilmatorjuntapanssarivaunu 41 were delivered to Finland after experience in the Winter War indicated a need for better air defense at the front line. Landsverk of Sweden delivered with this L-62 based vehicle, derived from the Hungarian Nimrod. Note: turns out 1664 is not the cc of the engine,...

The Skeleton Tank, AKA the Spider Tank, was a proof-of-concept from the WW1 era to try to combine the light weight of a smaller tank with the off-road and trench crossing capability of a larger tank.

The AMPV is the long-awaited replacement for the venerable M113 based series of vehicles. In this video, I walk around the vehicle with the AMPV product manager LTC Costa, and pepper him with unexpected questions in order to shed a little more light on this new vehicle which we'll be buying by th...

The Ford 3-Ton (It's much easier than saying the full name) was designed to be the American equivalent of the FT, but even smaller and lighter. For better or worse, not so many were built, and two remain. This is the better one. Thanks to the US Army's Ordnance Collection and the financial suppor...
