Redback jest lepszy ale cóż tego jak jego liczba wzbudza tylko śmiech......Wolę 1000 ZBD04a niż 100 Redback Go China🇨🇳

We live on an island. Build boats.

China has a lot more numbers we shouldn't try measuring ourselves up to China,

Hello everyone! can someone explain or reference chinese or russian paratrooper combat equipment on their parachute harness? I see US paratroopers conduct their airborne operatoins with their ruck sacks and weapons cases, but have never cought a glimpse of Russian / Chinese troopers doing the same.

Australia must be stronger protecting people in Australia stronger the better safer country stealthy defence's manta rays drones 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Congratulations Sir! Outstanding Australian Defense plans to procure the AH-64 Apache Guardian version and UH-70 Sikorsky Black Hawks UH-70M!

It is time to take the bull by the horns. The Imperative for an Australian Nuclear Deterrent in the Face of China's Existential Threat. Australia's strategic security landscape is increasingly fraught with challenges that pose an existential threat to its sovereignty. Foremost among these is China's rising military might, whose expansionist policies and aggressive posturing in the Indo-Pacific region have raised alarms about Australia's future stability and security. Given the current state of Australia's defence capabilities, the acquisition of nuclear weapons emerges as a crucial strategy to deter potential aggression and ensure national survival. Strategic Vulnerabilities and Defense Shortcomings: - Australia boasts a vast and sparsely populated coastline stretching over 25,000 kilometres, presenting a formidable challenge for defence and surveillance. The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is under-equipped to secure this extensive border against a superior military force like China. Key shortcomings include: 1. Insufficient Defense Expenditure: Australia's defence budget, while significant, is spread thin across multiple domains, resulting in a lack of advanced and comprehensive land, sea, and air deterrents. The current expenditure levels are inadequate to match the rapid military advancements seen in China. 2. Manpower Constraints: The ADF is experiencing its lowest manpower levels since World War II. This limited personnel pool hampers Australia's ability to project power and sustain prolonged defensive operations, particularly against a numerically superior foe. This is evidenced by the new Australian Foreign Legion forecast to boost recruit numbers. 3. Technological and Capability Gaps: The ADF lacks the advanced technological edge and integrated defence systems to effectively counter modern threats. This includes deficits in missile defence, cyber capabilities, and strategic mobility. The Case for a Nuclear Deterrent. In the face of these challenges, nuclear weapons offer a potent solution that can offset conventional military disadvantages and provide a credible deterrent against existential threats. The strategic rationale for Australia to pursue nuclear armament includes: 1. Deterrence Against Superior Forces: Nuclear weapons serve as a powerful deterrent, compelling any potential aggressor to reconsider the risks of a military incursion. The mere presence of a credible nuclear arsenal can induce hesitation and strategic caution in adversaries, including China. 2. Force Multiplier: A nuclear capability would act as a force multiplier, significantly enhancing Australia’s defensive posture without needing proportional increases in conventional forces. This would enable Australia to maintain a more balanced and sustainable defence budget. 3. Sovereignty and Autonomy: Possessing nuclear weapons would enhance Australia’s strategic autonomy, reducing dependence on allied support in times of crisis and enabling more decisive and independent defence policies. 4. Geopolitical Stability: A nuclear-armed Australia would contribute to regional stability by establishing a balance of power. This could deter China's direct aggression, coercive tactics, and geopolitical maneuvering. Conclusion. In a rapidly evolving security environment, the acquisition of nuclear weapons presents a compelling strategic imperative for Australia. Faced with China's overwhelming military superiority and constrained by current defence capabilities, Australia must consider a nuclear deterrent to secure its sovereignty, safeguard its vast coastline, and ensure national survival. By developing a credible nuclear arsenal, Australia can transform its strategic landscape, compelling any potential aggressor to think twice before undertaking any kinetic actions against the nation. Australia needs to grow up.

Typical Australian Labor government, as soon as elected reduce defence orders, they are cowards and traitors to Australian military.

What's 42 units going to do on a continent??

We have a population smaller than Sydney and its an aging one. On top of that our schools have been manufacturing woke adults that are "effeminized" to a degree that has ended the Kiwi male profile as a fairly rugged and capable Alpha male and even our women have become flaky - This makes the single greatest issue one of attracting the numbers NZDF needs to maintain let alone grow its ability to deploy. I dont think that will prove possible. What can be done given the backdrop of time expired kit that actually cant be replaced easily even if we have the cash. Most of the worlds military slipways are booked solid by larger navys including Australia. Aussie has had to plan to keep a number of ANZAC frigates in limited service for several years past thier real end of life date because the builders cannot deliver the replacements any faster than is underway... thats mid 2030's before any new keels not already sold can be started. Our boats will be knackered by then. On top of that the Royal navy, US navy and even the Asian navys are all racing to rebuild now that Chinas aggression has been recognized. In short we have sod all prospect of having anything new to buy for Navy for a decade plus... And thats just navy. I think its time to reconsider NZDF as three services and remodel along the lines of Royal Marines or US Marines and reduce to a cheaper single command structure and design training and equipment procurement for a more specialized role that serves domestic missions ( Civil defense) and deploys as an agreed narrower but more specialised force multiplier to the ADF without whom we are never going to deploy anyway. Unless we face these fundamentals any talk of new equipment will remain moot

Excellent foresight well done. Probably consider the procurement of the future PSM for the HIMARS Batteries for Littoral defense systems.

Good, but only scratching the surface. The most important part missing is our defense industry’s capabilities in producing our own arms and ammunition from small arms to armored vehicles and artillery, and modifying foreign bought equipment to much more advanced standards including tanks and combat aircraft. And also our ability in building and upgrading naval assets. In war, losses will be heavy and this ability to be self sufficient is critical.

Experts said that even chopsticks sold on AliExpress should be viewed with suspicion.

The greater firepower and the ability to fire "smart rounds" from the ZBD-04A gives the PLA vehicle the ability to make the first shot and first kill. After the redback is taken out, no amount of ride comfort etc in the aussie IFV is going to matter anymore.

Surprise, our war machines actually work. But we do need actual combat experience, so any volunteers willing to come forward and get hammered by our armaments? Thank you.

I personally think that the PLA Army Aviation Corps has a shortcoming (compared with the United States). The United States has heavy transport aircraft such as the CH47, while China only has the improved version of the Z8. The Marine Corps has the CH53 series and the V22, while the PLA currently only has the Z8 and as transport helicopters. This means that the US Air Assault Brigade and the Marine Corps have stronger air delivery capabilities than the PLA. In addition, as a medium-sized helicopter, although the Z10 has new ammunition, its comprehensive capabilities are still far behind the Apache (its load capacity is even inferior to that of the European Tiger). This is also the reason why China developed the Z21. However, the PLA's anti-tank ammunition has developed rapidly. The PLA has begun to equip the Blue arrow21, which is similar to the British Brimstone, as well as the CM502 missile with a range of up to 25KM, and even has the ability to launch the CM501 (range 40KM?) Loitering Ammunition .The performance of the above ammunition undoubtedly surpasses the Hellfire missile. Of course, the United States is also testing the NLOS system

Alas, the drone army is needed to protect the brigade from other drone armies.

Key question: Isn't Taiwan part of China? What's in there for you (Australia)?

the redbacks areto replace the old M113A3's and 6 wheel land Rover recon. the redback is decent for the fact that there really good all rounder (terrain for desert sands to water and sea mobilising for amphibious task forces also we got hawkei as well and then we got the Bushmaster's and M1A2 Abrams and dont forget the AS9 Howitzer SMG and AS10's and we got 90 so far Booxer's with the 50mm auto cannon and bushmaster 25mm's with ground to air Sam missiles.

Being an Englishman now living in NZ thank you Australia. Now you need to have an even greater military and becoume the Southern Hemisphere superpower. Too many crappy countries down here to not worry.

..the large variety of equipment points to a lot of experimentation with lots of different concepts. The life long career combat arms nco in me sees the cons..a lack of unified doctrine, a bewildering variety of different calibers in ammunition, it's borderline schizophrenic so probably slim to no chance of tactics,techniques or procedures being shared pla gf wide. Decentralized operations at the battalion level is well and good if you don't have a top-down leadership structure. As even their recent operations in Africa even their special operations troops failed disastrously. Against India or weaker power, they may achieve parity in combat power, but nowhere near enough against a modern, well trained force in equal numbers.

I've heard of the military being criticized before for buying Israeli drones, in light of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. To which I remember a gov't official shot back: "Don't you know that no other country was willing to help develop our military? (when Singapore became newly independent)"

The way Russia and China and Korea are going. Recruiting another 100,000 soldiers. 5000 marines. 500 scimitar light recon tank 500 scorpions light recon tank Arm with four missiles and mini gun. 500 Saracens APC with heavier armour and four missiles and mini gun. 100 challenger 1 tanks 1000 boxer 1000 warriors APC.

Thank you for doing these. They are informative and I'm appreciative of how frequently you are getting them out now.

NZ army far too small. 100,000 soldiers needed faster than you thought Russia is on the offensive against the entire world. 5000 marines 200 tanks 100 rocket launcher's 1000 boxer APC 500 scimitar light recon tank 500 scorpions light recon tank 500 Saracens APC with heavier armour and four missiles and mini gun for protection from drones and tanks.

This is an unbiased and underrated channel. It's a pity that there are too many "propaganda" videos on UA-cam, which makes it impossible to objectively view the development of weapons in various countries. It's a pity that this kind of channel is popular, without blind praise and blind denigration of China. Regarding your video, I think the 04A infantry fighting vehicle was born more than 10 years ago, and Australia's AS21 was born later. If we only compare vehicles, Australia's IFV is stronger. The biggest problem of 04A is the lack of more powerful anti-tank missiles such as HJ16 that cannot be installed with ZBL191, only the old HJ73J, that is, if facing T90 or K2 M1A2 Abrams tanks alone, they can only call 99A tanks or air supports (such as Z10 or JH7 or various UAVs, such as Wing Loong 2) for fire strikes. If there is no 99A and aircraft nearby, then they can only retreat. Thank you for your video, I will continue to follow you

Excellent !!! Well documented and inventory analysis. Amongst the professional research standard's 👍

an island no food and water ?

So we have come back to the doctrine of the infantry tank of WW2.

Great report. Again, thanks. We are too busy working out gender differentiation, land rights, political ineptitude and corruption here. They’ve compulsory national service, which for starters is much needed here - but it’ll never happen.

Great report. Thanks.

I must have air support helicopter drone or spectre gunships

Indonesian military analysis next please. Either as ally, or adversary, I feel that Indonesias future in regards to Australia is often overlooked.

Couldn't even defend the country from Australia ! ua-cam.com/video/CGYCRQk7i-s/v-deo.html

How many hours would the military last in an attack by China ?

Regarding the current defence strategies being considered for Australia, while the Redback and ZBD-04A vehicles are impressive in capability, the likelihood of Australia being capable of engaging in a significant land war seems fanciful. Future conflicts on our soil will likely be dominated by air and long-range missile strikes, submarine attacks, and advanced systems like FOB (Fractional Orbital Bombardment) from space. A potential enemy could establish a beachhead anywhere between Port Hedland and Darwin, with Port Hedland being particularly vulnerable once Learmonth is neutralised. There are no fighters based there. The JOHRN network, which shuts down between 2300 and 0500, presents a critical window of opportunity for adversaries. Since our primary threat is defined as China, our defence forces' geographic spread and distribution-predominantly based in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane-pose significant challenges. The entire armed services must be redirected to the Far North Darwin to become a full tri-service garrison town; a large-scale cyber attack could cripple Australia's communication, power, and electronic infrastructure, rendering traditional defence measures less effective. While the Redback and ZBD-04A's capabilities are undeniable, questions remain about who will operate, maintain, and arm these vehicles in a crisis. Australia is so desperate that it now wishes to recruit non-citizens, a French Foreign Legion-style service. The politicians are talking about American involvement. Would they step up to the plate? Look at Ukraine, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and Iraq-all failures. In conclusion, while these vehicles are technically proficient, a more strategic approach that addresses the realities of modern warfare and Australia's unique vulnerabilities is essential.

Love it when I see you’ve put out a new video

Only if back up by US. Singapore just coward when it alone.

I would have liked to have seen more discussion and attention being paid to the primary armament - the infantry. Very few vids discussing IFV's ever seem to give the franchise a thought. I don't think you even mentioned how many are carried, let alone seating arrangements, ease of ingress/egress, headroom (so many IFV's - particularly of Cold War vintage can not comfortably accommodate soldiers of today's average height). How much kit can they carry, etc,...

I would like your view on whether Australia should have LO3 and LO4 for F35B air cover for LO1 and LO2 amphibious ships. To me LO1 and LO2 will be sitting targets in a real conflict without air cover.

Always thought the tracked boxer with the 120mm/30mm RCT turret shown a couple of years ago was the best IFV i've seen to date at least conceptually. Wish it was in the US trials.

7:58: I presume the "4.5mm" is a slip of the tongue and it should be "14.5mm" in terms of flank protection?

I read redneck😂😂😂

All this is pointless. I'm not Australian but I'm watching from abroad. This constant beating of war drums against china is idiotic. If a war comes, the ADF will be a supporting element of US power. The PLA isn't going to land D-Day style in Australia because they don't have to. The CCP owns vast areas of your country. Your politicians worship them and allow huge numbers of them into your country. Your government is pushing to impose the same tyranny on you that the ccp does on china. Australia should be defending its borders against the invasion of migrants and subversion from abroad facilitated by your government. Don't become the next Ukraine and be sacrificed by nato.

Keep up the good work

Ugh fix that thumb nail headline mate... "FiGTHING"??

Project was to purchase 400+ IFV (this costed CV90 out of the bid). New government then cut order to 129 IFV - too late to then reconsider other bids. Oz should just have bought CV90 - instead of trying to create a less performing orphan design (previous experience of purchasing orphan equipment).

Pity that the AS21's ATGM can't be swapped out for something that can can target low and slow drones instead. A dedicated SHORAD vehicle is probably the best solution for high flying threats, but the war in Ukraine illustrates why a means of self defense against FPV and small kamikaze drones is wise Does the Australian Army have a mobile way of handling drones that doesn't involve dismounting someone with a shoulder fired weapon?
