      There's more cursed by design brazilian tanks, looks at x1a2 carcará, an m3 stuart with 90mm canon, bernardini's tamoyo series of light tanks based on the m-41 walker bulldogs, including the m-41C caxias version with a 90mm canon (its the 75mm open by brazilian enginers and loosing this bullet exit velocity), also the first versions of EE-9 Cascavel its a modified M-8 Greyhound, the cursed by design ee-17 and ee-18 sucuri tank hunters, the ee-3 jararaca its a planned explorers platoon vehicle, buts this idea dont exactly work, and the charrua personal carrier sad story, like the osorio

      @Joe Blowe the point of armor is IF you get hit it decreases the chance of destruction/Penetration remember the tank was only a prototype most likely the creators would have addressed the issues later on, like how the original M4 Sherman was horrible but many variations/upgrades later

      @@Dianasaurthemelonlord7777 so those engineers were going to magic up armor that took multi-billion dollar conglomerates decades to develop? Please. The only tank to ever destroy an M1 Abrams is another M1 Abrams, and that was a mission kill, not a total wreck. The "M1s" you see fielded by other countries are export versions without the full armor package standard on US models. There's a reason why the Gulf War was one of the most one sided curbstomps in military history. The M1's main gun could go through any Iraqi tank the long ways even through entrenchments while the Iraqi tank guns created interesting smears on the armored hull of the Abrams. Simply put, the MBT main gun that can punch through the armor of an M1... does not exist.

      Good point - a good gun without sufficient protection is a waste of armor and more importantly servicemen. The M1A1 has Chobham armor (I believe later variants add a layer of depleted unranium), which, whie not bulletproof, is close. IEDs do their damage typically on the thin-skin underbelly and mechanics.

    Hey Cone, just a quick correction. In the beggining of the video, u said that the Osório is the only domestic MBT produced by Brazil, but that's not correct.
    We had another MBT, it was called MB-3 Tamoyo, and was produced by Bernardini, another private enterprise just like Engesa. Bernardini worked on upgrading the old brazilian tanks, such as the M3 Stuart (which became the X1 variants) and the M41 (which became the M41C).
    The story of Bernardini is a very interesting one, and I realy recomend u doing a video on it, people would surelly apreciate. And, if you do consider this idea, you can count with my help.
    Love your content m8

    • @ConeOfArc
      @ConeOfArc  3 роки тому +108

      The reason I said it's the best not domestic MBT is because the MB-3 isn't domestically produced it was an upgrade to a tank built by another nation. Brazil did design the upgrade but they didn't design the vehicle. The Osorio was built from the ground up so I consider it a domestic design.

    • @leonardotunin1521
      @leonardotunin1521 3 роки тому +42

      @@ConeOfArc omg you did answer, i'm pretty happy with it.
      Yeah, indeed, the MB-3 was based on the M41, althought the inspiration draws more on the M41C i've mentioned, which is VERY modified. Nonetheless, it's still based in an foreign vehicle. I undestand your point, and i agree with u.
      The thing i think is realy interesting about the Tamoyo (the Tamoyos I and II, to be precise) is that the tanks had mainly national components, unlike the Osório. Also, the main focus of Bernardini was selling it to the Brazilian Army, unlike Engesa with the Osório.
      Still, Bernardini made some realy incredible things with the old tanks our army used during the 60s and 70s, some of them are very interesting (for example, this is what they've done with the M3 Stuart "Off The Mark: US Revamp: X1A2" otm-uswot.blogspot.com/2018/03/x1a2.html?m=1 )
      Anyways, thanks for the reply dude, and if you do want to make more videos about brazilian tanks, you can count with me.

      You forgot the most important points: lobbying & corruption. While in this case just an assumption, history has shown that those factors play major roles, especially in state contracts, so it seems quite likely here as well.

      I'm always a bit hesitant in tests like this to draw too many conclusions. Prototypes are often hand made by the company and it's designers/engineers to the highest specifications so they often perform much better than production models. Once a tank enters production they cut corners to make them easier and cheaper to produce, they sometimes cut features, and since they're assembled by factory workers using mass produced materials they're not built to as high a quality. That's the main reason that Russian/Soviet vehicles often perform great in tests or at shows like this but then the real tanks are significantly worse. A good, but old, example is the T-34 which had armor that most German weapons couldnt penetrate... or it was supposed to at least, the real production models had worse steel than the prototypes and early models and the tank could be destroyed by guns it's armor should have shrugged off.
      I dont know about this test specifically but I've seen some similar tests where they take a prototype model and compare it to a different, production model tank and the prototype can perform better since it was a bespoke tank built by a team of engineers and designers rather than a production model built en masse by factory workers. There's also the issue that MANY pieces of equipment from tanks to aircraft can seem great on paper and seem great with hand built prototypes but then severely under perform in real combat. Even some of the best pieces of military equipment will get upgrades and alterations after being combat tested regardless of how well they were tested in a lab. The M-16 was a good example: the first models were flawless when fired in a lab by experienced technicians and testers but once it got out in the field they realized it had more trouble than they thought in harsh environments like muddy trenches or fox holes, or in the jungle and it required some alterations and more maintenance training. The first M-16s were trash compared to later models like the M16A1 or M4, and a lot of the problems were because of issues discovered in the field when the weapon was used in combat: like the full auto setting was assumed to be great because it provided excellent covering fire when needed but in reality soldiers tended to shoot off full clips (often missing), the normal clip size meant that covering fire only lasted seconds, and the soldiers got weighed down carrying extra ammo but switching it to a burst fire setting made it both more accurate, more efficient on ammo usage, and made it so that the covering fire could last longer before needing to reloaded.

    You forgot to mention that Saudi Arabia placed an initial bid to buy about ~300 Osorio tanks. However, Saudi Arabia went back on their word, purposely stalled on finalizing the contract with the tank manufacturer (leaving Engesa hanging in limbo), and then suddenly bought Abrams instead. International Politics probably played a huge role. Brazil was not as big as America in defense exports. And I doubt other major military exporters (Britain, France, Germany, etc) wanted to make room at the table for a new competitor. It would not surprise if some political shenanigans were going on behind the scenes to make sure Osorio was never ordered.

Saudi arabia buying the osorio would have been like buying a beta model which had never really been tested and was all good in theory. It proved well at the testing ground and did show promising results but, Saudi Arabia also had a sizable war debt to pay back to America so buying the Abram was likely very politically encouraged but wasn't necessarily the only reason the Abram was chosen.

The proposed export version would have lacked the DU armor inserts as well as both the thermal imager and the position location reporting system. There are also claims that the AGT-1500 was to have its governor set at a performance level below that of the US version.

      It was a combination of those factors, and lack of Brazillian Army interest at hte time, that lead to the downfall of the Osório.
      The Saudy government had even signed an agreement with Engesa to build a production line there, with the caviat that they would make 1 free Osório for Brazil for every 4 Saudy's completed.
      But when they found about the Iraqui deal they backed out of the agreements, because they had a safety clause that restricted Osório's purchase from Saudy Arabia's enemies
      And was Saddan Hussein's fault that Engesa went down: he had purchased some heavy equipment from them , never to pay them back.
      That, plus the unrecovered development costs of the tank demolished the company.

Also, the government owned company Embrapa developed, a few decades ago, a soil correction technology that allowed farmers to grow pretty much anything in acidic soils. The same technology is now being exported to Mozambique in order to help them in their development. Another good example is Weg, a brazilian company that produces and exports electric motors, generators, mechanical components and many others. Not to mention the newly inaugurated particle acelerator in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo and the first 100% brazilian satelite that went into orbit last week to patrol the Amazon.

    The US tactics to implement an embargo on Brazilian military products has a long history, and it still happening to this day. My uncle worked as the main selling chief overseas for ENGESA in the 80's and for AVIBRAS in the 90's. He went to Saudi Arabia and Iraq during this period. He says the Osório MBT was the most beautiful and functional tank he had ever seen. As a vendor for these weapons he needed to know how to operate these tanks, not only Osório and cascavel but also competitor designs.
    Our military industry has a lot of potential but the problem is in the development of very especific systems and parts which are not produced here, usually these companies relying on US parts to finish their products. And what happens is that the us does not provide such parts to stop or slow the development to prevent them from losing profit. It happened to Osório, laser guided missiles, cruise missiles, jet fighters and many other items.

    Sure it out performs the Abrahams but you didn't mention what the Osorio armor was. The Abrams has very thick chobam composite armor which is why it is seventy tons and offers pretty much the best crew protection of any tank. I'm certain the Osorio doesn't have chobam armor as it only weighs 45 tons. that was probably a bigger deciding factor on its adoption as crews of modern tanks take much longer to train and are therefore a bigger part of the investment of fielding a modern tank force. A loss of a fully trained crew is more expensive than replacing the tank.

    In the design of every combat vehicle, compromises are inevitable. I remember thinking to myself when I drew one of the very first M1s assigned to Europe, "Looks like they ran out of R&D money when they got to the Tank Commander's cupola." Any of you who actually crewed one of the original M1s knows exactly what I'm talking about. So the fact that some obscure company somewhere could one-off a better tank doesn't surprise me. Frankly, I saw several experimental models of the M1 that never made it into production but were significantly advanced over the model that eventually went to production.
    Here's the bottom line: The full production model of the M1 tank was extremely effective against the enemy. More so than any other production model. And in the final analysis, if you don't care for the M1, all that really means is you never crewed an M60A3 or worse...the M60A1.

      Yeah, for a tank which used MANY imported parts "supporting" parts or repair is obviously the reason - its not like there are a bunch of other military vehicle using those exact same parts or those countries which import those part not knowing how to repair those parts.
      If you look at the Abrams and this tank then you would instantly realize how much the Abrams is beeing outclassed in this consideration. Hell, the Brasilian manufacturer could even sell the licensing of this tank and let other build this thing themself, thats how available almost ALL parts of it (with the exception of the hull and some other parts, which very likely made by the manufacturer himself).
      America is VERY pushy when it comes to their military crap - you have no idea how much their tried to sell us their second grade fighters with so many "confidential" stuff and forcing us to make american engineers handle all the repair and stuff like that because of said "confidential equipments" - while the swedish Grippen's did the job both way better AND had no such crap attached to them. Fortunately even a post-soviet Eastern European nation like Hungary is not THAT corrupt to take such a offer.

    So, according to one of the men who helped design the tank, nearly two decades after the trial was conducted and in a private interview, the Osorio did exceedingly well on two of the dozen or so tests (Shooting and what is most likely operational range) conducted over a period of two months. And, tellingly, there does not appear to be any publicly available documents of the rest of the test results, and the few articles about the tank that are available all use the same wordage and provide the same information, including the the quote provided by the Engessa employee that is referenced in the video.
    Now throw in the fact that Engessa went bankrupt in 1993, with the amount of money that they sank into the development of the Osorio being one of the primary reasons they had to shutter and layoff over 3000 employees. I can't imagine why the then technical director, a man deeply involved in the design of the money-pit that helped sink his company, would want to paint it in the best light as possible.
    Another telling point is that there does not appear to be any faults with the tank. Apparently the first testbed had some minor troubles with handling and suspension that were then immediately resolved in the second vehicle, but after that nothing. Everything beyond that is glowing praise of this tank. There is even one article that claims that the Osorio came across an Italian OF-40 MBT that was also being tested at the time (but not part of the competition for some reason) that was broken down dozens of miles in the desert, and that instead of abandoning the tank as the Italian crew wanted to do the Brazilian crew proceeded to tow the other tank back to the Saudi barracks before resuming the competition.
    Of course, this is conjecture. Where is the official report of the the tests conducted? Competition trials in other nations involving the same tanks in the same timeframe have been released, why hasn't this one? According to a single, heavily biased source the Osorio outperformed its three competitors on a single shooting trial, and apparently did very well on what can only be assumed to be an operational range trial with the results of the three competitors not provided. How well did the other three do in that range trial? Just how close did the other tanks make it to 400km, if the Osorio made it that far at all? And what were the results of the other tests? How did it handle rough terrain, how easy was it to repair, how difficult would it be to get spare parts for this Frankenstein's monster? Furthermore, are you seriously telling me that in a competition running from July to September there was only one shooting trial?
    What are the odds that this prototype tank, which does not appear to have any officially released documentation of the tests that it underwent, is not as good as it is claimed to be? What are the odds that the single readily available quotation ascribed to the tank, provided by a man deeply involved in the design of the vehicle that ruined his company, might just be disgruntled man inflating its amazingness twenty years after the fact? What are the odds that the official test results paint the Osorio in a much less favorable result?

This is a largely untested vehicle out-shooting some of the best FCS systems on tracks available at the time .
      Not to mention, one of the major parts of the Saudi Trials, hell, any NATO tank trial, is the armor evaluation, which seems completely absent from this documentation.

    I remember when I was a kid reading an interview on a military magazine here in Brazil talking about this event.
    It was a long time ago, but if I'm not wrong, it seems like the buying country had to buy from other 2 or 3 countries because of contracts between the countries already agreeing about some parts of the total purchase.

      considering the Abrams has always had its design and armour based on the challenger one, but uses older chobram armour im going to take a guess and say the challenger owns that title, considering a challenger was shot by 72 RPG's and one vampyre AT missile, it drove back to base and was back in service the next day. whereas the abrams has been known ALOT to be put out of action in less than 10 projectiles.
      what i find interesting is the challenger holds the longest tank to tank shot in the world 1st and 2nd place with 3600m and 4700m but in this 'test' it seemed to fail at everything xD
