Bushmaster - Australia's Most Lethal Armored Vehicle!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2022
- In the battle against invading Russian forces, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has requested help from many countries in the form of armored vehicles. One such country is Australia and the request has been for the Bushmaster armored vehicle. This comes as no great surprise as the Australia-made 4x4 vehicle does have a reputation of being a very capable war machine, especially proving its worth in troop-transport operations. In this video we are going to take a closer look at the vehicle named after a very venomous snake and see exactly what it is capable of.

Named after a venomous snake WTF. It’s not named after a bloody snake found in the Amazon. It’s name the Bush Master because it’s fucking good in the bush. 🙄.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not sure foreigners understand what we mean when we say ‘bush’. They probably think ‘bush’ is a garden plant.
lol
I Like the snake reference even if not true. Anyway Australia is inundated with things that can kill you, from spiders to that duck otter looking thing. Now you can add the Bushmaster to the list.
@@clickonmike
Lol I think you mean the Platypus. Good onya mate 👊🏼.
Mate, I'm a retired Australian truck driver and I have carried a lot of bushmasters, let me say that pictures and videos don't do these justice, seeing them in the flesh and driving them whilst loading and unloading them, these things are an absolute beast, I've carried them when they have come back after hitting an IED, the only damage they suffer is the wheels and suspension got blown off and nothing penetrated the cabin area, no one inside was hurt in any way, I've seen one that took a round from a 50cal at point blank range to the windscreen and the round did not pierce the glass, an absolutely incredible machine 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍
Good video mate.
Thats incredibly awesome to hear, very interesting.
Watching a lot Ukraine/Russia war footage proves this true.. ive only seen the wheels and suspension blown out.
Guessing those components would be on the spare parts demand order more than anything else.
@@shakengandulf yeah, your right, they were throw away item's, correct me if I'm wrong but when I last heard, nobody has ever been killed in a Bushmaster, that's testament to how strong they actually are, the one thing that wasn't in your video was all the Kevlar/ Bullet proof coverings that went over every seat for even more protection to the occupants, Cheers mate.
I hope we get a good gas deal with Europe after we sent Ukraine a bunch of these beasts. Putin really should stop blowing up his own pipelines
@@waynedieckmann9840 it's all good mate, the stage is yours 😜🇦🇺
@@waynedieckmann9840 we should get better fuel prices as these things are worth in excess of a million dollars each ( it could be a lot more ) but worth every single dollar.
Cheers Wayne. 👍🇦🇺
it was NOT named after a South American snake! Australian wilderness is known as 'the bush', and the name refers to the offroad all-terrain capabilities of the vehicle, 'mastering' those.
Thank you for pointing that out correctly. Besides Australia has plenty of snakes that are far more dangerous that their south American counterparts.
Americans never let facts get in the way of a good story, and never bother with reliable research.
100% correct mate.

As an Australian, the term 'Bush Master' has nothing to do with some foreign snake (40 second mark). We Aussies call the woods, the bush. And this infantry vehicle wants to own the bush, and be the boss of that terrain, hence the term 'master'. If we wished to name this wagon after a snake, well we are not short of names. We have the most poisonous snakes in the world, that would eat a 'bushmaster' for breakfast.
*cough* venomous mate.. venomous
….. with a f***g bunch of bush flies, as I learned visiting down under!😂
We also call our pubes the Bush
It's actually just a generic term, used widely for military hardware. Bushmaster XM15 rifles ,M242 Bushmaster 25mm chain gun
The Bushmaster snake is native to South America and is not found in Australia. The vehicle name comes from being a master of the bush. If Australia was going to name this vehicle after a snake they have a multitude of their own native venomous snakes they could have selected. A simple google search would have identified this.
Nah mate. I haven't even watched the video and know this is wrong. I think the vehicle before this iteration was named after some south-african snake. Can't remember which one. Bush means forest in Australia. So the name is more like 'master of the forest'. Got nothing to do with snakes. Confusion comes from design generation. Australian Bush is no joke though. Rugged. Risk of getting caught in a fire or coming across a brown snake for the most part. Most people have houses though.
@@nicheva417 it has nothing to do with the snake. The project of selecting vehicles was called Bushranger, so when a local company applied they called it the Bushmaster. In Australia the bush is anywhere outside the cities, and our landscape has everything from forests to deserts, its all bush. IMO the name is a master of the bush - a master of the landscape.
@@nicheva417 What are you talking about? He's saying it wasn't named after a snake, and the video said it was.
Bushmaster means master of the bush. As in, the Australian bush. The bush is not the forest.
You seem to have tried to disagree with him, despite the fact he wasn't saying that... what are you smoking
@@PBMS123 nope. I was replying to whoever said its was named after a snake. I'm trying explain what bush is to someone who doesn''t know what bush is. Hence the use of forest. It's an anology...genius. If you're gonna be toxic at least be right.
The bushmaster isn’t named after a snake like the narrator says, the second vehicle shown the Hawkei is…..
It was the only IED proof vehicle during the Iraq and Afghan wars. 80 lost in combat no Australian soldiers killed.
It has it's first fatalities in Ukraine.
Reports say it took multiple anti tank blasts. Protected them first but got weakened and hit again, unfortunately for the occupants.
They have lost a few vehicles in Ukraine, but only one incident that cost lives.
May it be the last.
@@yt.personal.identification care to post the link to that article?
@@yt.personal.identification By tanks. I’d not heard about that, in Iraq/ Afghan it was IEDs. I was horrified about hearing over 3000 US soldiers died from IEDs and yet there was a IED proof vehicle available.
Yup, pics of multiple destroyed bushmasters on the back of Russian transports but tbh it is in an actual war zone so to be expected.
As a EX APC / ADF Crew Commander The Bushmaster Vehicle is beyond outstanding for the want of a better word I must say .....JB
Oshkosh doesn't own ADI, Thales does.
The Bushmaster was primarily designed by the then government-owned Australian Defence Industries (ADI), and is currently produced by Thales Australia following their acquisition of ADI.
Oshkosh has a support contract with Thales and Oshkosh is the licensed marketing agent for North America.
@@RobNMelbourne Yep Thales bid for a program in the states about 10-15 years ago and Oshkosh would have manufactured the Bushmaster had that bid won.
Sounds like insider knowledge here ;)
Yep, back in 2008. Instead, the Yankees got stuck with the politician pushed MRAPs and now there are efforts to get something more akin to a Bushmaster despite spending a fortune on them. Whilst some were / are being upgraded, the US military struggles to give the things away with MRAPs being too expensive to maintainin such large numbers when the Army is adopting things like the JLTV... which is a nice vehicle but a little on the cheap side again. I'm sure that can't go wrong over the medium to long term but there are at least some interesting variants that will probably push up the overall acquisition cost.
I am retired now but was lucky to work for a company that supplied a number components for both the Bushmaster and the Hawkei. They were built in Bendigo Victoria Australia by Thales (pronounced Tallis).
Watching these being assembled you got to see the amazing design technology that made them practically impervious to IUDs.
The fun part was attending the testing when they were blowing them up. Man oh man, the ground shook that day and the armoured bodies, whilst certainly showing signs of significant damage were intact.
Back in the day the Bushmaster had the honour of being the only armoured troop carrier in Afghanistan in which no soldiers were killed when they encountered an IUD.
Both the Bushmaster and the Hawkei are unquestionably world leaders in this field. Something Australians should be rightly proud of.
Those Hawkie's have serious brake issues. They've been banned from public road's & have been speed limited to 40km.
I truly hope you're talking about an improvised explosive device, rather than a female contraceptive device!!!! Good grief! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I don't think a contraceptive device would cause any damage to the vehicle or the occupants inside. IUDs =Intrauterine devices. Surely you meant IED
@@saltyaussie7702 That's a great worry. You always need the most powerful brakes possible to pull it up.
Mark from Melbourne Australia
@@saltyaussie7702 Pigs can fly backwards. See, I can say unfounded statements as well. Not saying I know your wrong, or that I know anything about the topic. Just saying I'm sick of people stating opinion as fact...unless you have evidence?
The Bushmaster is not named after the snake. It is named after mastery of countryside which is called the Bush in Australia. Therefore it is a master of the Bush so Bushmaster it is.
It’s not a lethal weapon, it’s something that stops weapons being lethal.
It's unlikely to be more lethal than Australia's Abrams tanks.
True, thats why I dont mind our defence industry exporting them
It is not a truck.
It is a BATTLE-BUS.
lol
One correction the vehicle was designed by Timoney (IRL).
In 1999, ADI Ltd (later known as Thales Australia), a licensee of designs and technology developed by Timoney, was awarded a contract to manufacture 350 infantry mobility vehicles (IMV) for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). This vehicle, the Bushmaster, was based on the Timoney MP44
Yeah, quite a few errors in this one.
Well done cuzzies. This will be a massive help to Ukraine. I've already seen a thank you video from some soldiers who received them. They seemed to love them.
As an Aussie, so proud 🇦🇺👍🏽

Its called Bushmaster because it's the master of the bush, the predecessor was called the Bush Hunter.
There was no predecessor unless you count the modified 6x6 Landrovers (Interim Infantry Mobility Vehicles) that were a proof of concept for Project Bushranger that ended up selecting the Bushmaster
@@matthewscott4583 They were the 4x4, sure they weren’t a predecessor in terms of
Design, but only in function as a troop transport.
Next... the Bush Pig!
We never had anything called a Bush Hunter.......
The Bushmaster demonstrates that when Australian engineers are given a blank sheet and a reasonable amount of money, they can build a world class machine. As an Australian, I'm proud that their deployment in Ukraine has played a big part in helping push back the Russian invasion. It's illegal to privately own one (although personally, it would be fun to drive one around some Australian capital cities, nobody would want to engage in road rage with one of those) I can imagine them possible being bought as military surplus later and deployed in special operations teams in various state police forces.
this vehicle wasn't developed or designed by the Australians. built using american components but assembled in Australia
The Bushmaster is an excellent military vehicle but I doubt it " shocked Russia"!
most were wrecked in one week. like most nato gear didnt last the first encounter with RF
@@tocobb7747 The Bushmaster is designed to get wrecked but preserve the occupants.
@@tocobb7747 Sure... and every video is CGI right?
@Lou Frost sadly there is video out there of Ukrainians recovering the remains of fellow soldier from a Bush Master that was clearly not designed to take a direct hit from either artillery or a drone. Lots of the Bush Masters being used close to the contact line are online in serious states of disrepair.
@@timetherington1986 80 Bushmaters were written off in Iraq and Afghanistan. No Australians died in those incidents but nothing's indestructible. It's a fine troop carrier, it's not a tank.
Look forward to seeing our Bushmasters drive into Sevastopol
The only way that will happen is if the Russians are driving them.
Yeah on the back of a truck all toasty
Last time I seen one it was being used as a ambulance 🚑. Useless against the Russians weapons

Everything coming out of Australia is lethal.
It sprays funnel Web spiders and comes with armed emus inside. Drop bears launch from the top.
Чертовски верно! Так что скажи своему приятелю Путину держаться подальше от Австралии и убираться к чертям из Украины!
Maybe "surprised", but not shocked. When you send an RPG into a "soft" vehicle, and it doesn't blow up!
Most of this inovation came from the Rhodesian and South African bush wars. RPG and mine protection was greatly improved in these conflicts.
Nothing to do with snakes🤦
Australians refer to just about any area outside of cities as "The Bush". Bushmaster means you'll dominate in the bush.
im glad our bushmasters are doing their job and are well liked !
ive crewed on the fire king in forrest fires....amazing vehicle
Lucky you, I'd love a few up here in QLD.
Yeah I gotta say if we had named the bush master after a venomous snake it would be one of ours.... take your pick.....
King brown,

Redbelly Black,
Just so you know our snakes are far more deadly then what you will find in the Amazon.
or a cranky tiapan that gives chase (most venomous snake) or a olive python the size of a small tree that goes straight past you on a motor bike to go eat a crocodile, calling it bushmaster out this way means you must be good at camping, wandering round finding your way not getting lost or dead. just like the red rat on the new electric version,, coming from a card game in vietnam where the lads swapped the yanks a bag of "kangaroo"feathers and two acubras for a armed tank and new rifle barrels and painted the kangaroo in red paint from the U.S. Q'ee ........................... im sure we can come up with a better name
Hes mistaking it with the bushmaster’s competitor taipan which is actually named after a dangerous snake and wasnt selected to be used but was instead in the top 2 contenders with the bushmaster. The bushmaster is just named like that cause its the master of the bush.
v hull underneath that pushes explosions underneath the vehicle sideways hence its great survivability against ied. ive been in one when they were parked at my work. it is a beast of a vehicle.
I hear those bushmaster snakes are really dangerous!!!
Lucky we dont have anything like that in Australia.
I see the bushmaster is using some tec from South Africa in the form of the V hull first used on the Casspir , looks like a awesome fighting machine
Bushmaster's competitor was called a Taipan which is one of, if not the, most dangerous snake in the world - however the Taipan lost the tender in competition with the Bushmaster.
Obviously you have never met an angry King Brown, Death Adder or a Tiger Snake. All little lovelies found in the Australian bush, (and homes). The top ten venomous snakes in the World are all Australian.
@@lukewise1227 In the wild? I've seen a couple of browns but they were relaxed. Red belly blacks mostly but they scamper away. I actually grew up in the bush, not that anyone cares nor is the point of this massively side-tracked conversation. I think 99.9% of aussies have never come across an adder or a tiger. Have you wrestled a taipan @LukeWise ?
@@lukewise1227 he’s explaining what the video confused this vehicle for. The video said the bushmaster was named after a dangerous snake which is wrong as hes confusing it for the rejected vehicle this commenter has just mentioned.
AWESOME VEHICLE and CREWS that Operate them!👍
Sounds like Ukraine has more bushmasters than Australia
Send them all, Australia can build new ones and replace them.
Ukraine need everything they can get.
The Australian military currently have over 1000 Bushmasters not sure if they will run out quickly.
It also mounts the 40mm mk19 and up.
Frickin awesome
Yeah...I'd review sending any further technology to Indonesia for a start...
Honestly when I heard that I thought "hold up! We're sending them current generation weapon systems AND we train their officers in our tactics and strategies?"
Bushmaster are great I drove them for Forestry SA fighting pine plantation fires
The names Thales is a reference to Thales of Miletus, one of the 7 wise men of Ancient Greece.
It might be a digital voice, being the reason why Thales is not pronounced the way they pronounce it. Thales is French and pronounced "Tah-les". This is merely a promo for the manufacturer, which is very reasonable anyway.
Thales is the name of a greek mathematician. French company though.
@@hayloft3834 "Thales of Miletus (/ˈθeɪliːz/ THAY-leez; Greek: Θαλῆς; c. 624/623 - c. 548/545 BC) was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, statesman, and pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus in Ionia, Asia Minor" I'll stick with mathematician.

Yes I didn't go the whole hog and supply the source, big whoop. This is the internet and ultimately not worth my time to dot t's and cross i's to suit some random. Fun fact I worked for Thales when they made the name change. They especially chose the name because he was a mathematician. it is the first description of what he did in his wiki page, tending to indicate it was what he was predominantly known for. You'd probably argue Einstein was a mathematician and not a physicist.

The vehicle was actually designed for the Irish Defence forces back in the early 90s designed Prototyped by Timoney Technology of Ireland 🇮🇪 Timoney along with Pearce and Stevenson entered the vehicle in the competition run by the Australian Defence forces along with another Timoney vehicle entered by British company.
The Timoney Bushmaster finally win the competition.
The Irish Defence forces were waiting to see how the vehicle did in the Australian competition.
The Irish Defence forces wanted the vehicle but the Department of Defence decided not to go with the vehicles as the Australians adopted it for themselves.
Ireland's loss Australians gain.
The vehicle was designed for long range patrol along the Irish border and for overseas service with the United Nations.
As a number of Irish troops had been killed over the years in service at home and overseas deployment in the Lebanon and other countries with IEDs, the Defence forces went to Timoney Technology to design a vehicle that would be able to protect personal on board even when hit by a IED.
The Irish government owned 39% of the company.
Timoney designed a number of vehicles for the Irish Defence forces but ended up with foreign armys instead.
The came about with the need to build vehicles for the Defence forces of Ireland.
Timoney works extensively with other companies throughout the world especially within the United States with Ford GM and other such companies that built engines, much of the technology used by these companies are patents solely owned by Timoney but licensed to the companies.
Since the conception of Timoney back in the late 60s by Professor S. Timoney and his brothers in response to the troubles started in the North.
The company has been on the go ever since.
A number of years ago Timoney owned 39% of a company in which many of Timoney designs were built under license the prototypes were built by Timoney and Timoney would build few pre-order samples to have tested with the military ect. Before going forward for serial production.
Much of the vehicles had also been offered to the Irish Defence forces and subsequently found their way to other militarys around the world.
Many military over the world would have a number of Timoney vehicles and much of their other vehicles would also have Timoney components installed in the vehicles.
Timoney Technology actually built their first heavy all electric fire tenders back in the 80s or late 70s which was featured on Tomorrow's World bbc program for their technology.
Do like seeing them go past my house, and seeing the diggers doing a bit of shopping in town, or sometime just fuelling up at the servo!
And that Phillip, is where they should have stayed. Not used to ferry Nasties around. Ignorant Australians shitting on the memory of the fallen in the North Africa campaign makes me want to chunder.
I've spent all week lifting iron sheets and all sorts of dodgy stuff and I haven't found a single bushmaster snake, plenty of browns Taipan's and the odd tiger snake. Must be bloody rare? Anyhoooo must go now my ambulance has arrived at the hospital apparently multiple snake bites require anti venom

It's meant for transportation, lightly armoured and lightly armed. Any anti-tank weapon can blow it back to it recycling components.
Then why hasn't it? Never lost an occupant until recently in Ukraine. Aussies, among others, use these to great effect, and had a much better record in Afghanistan than USA's Humvees - flat hull that blasts it sky high instead of a V-hull that deflects blasts away.
@Joe Bloggs it did not meet its killer yet. Simple. Tank killers can penetrate 800 mm to 1200mm of armoure, enough to blow the vehicle and its occupants. RPG 29 and kornet E have good destructive powers.

Kick Ass! 🇦🇺
Its not named after a snake. Im pretty sure you’ve confused that from the other vehicle australia could’ve chosen but they didnt and chose the bushmaster instead. Its also not the most lethal, it’s actually the opposite. Its the safest vehicle as it protects its passengers by everything very well. Its for safely carrying passengers not killing people with mounted weapons.
What I found most interesting is that the original Ozzie defense company has become wholly owned by Oshkosh Corporation, out of the U.S...

Its not named after a snake. And by the way they have been all destroyed in ukraine. Russians actually have them displayed. So not that impressive as used by the ukranians for what they are not designed for.
