Would you consider covering the KTO Rosomak. Polish license-produced AMW/AMW XP of Patria.
This legend is not yet dead , it will be shining once again in Ukraine within a few weeks now!
"Fought in Bosnia and Kosovo"
Who did they fight there? They got in those areas only AFTER the fighting stopped. They didn't fire a single round.
Very good and well documented little film. Thanks.
I served many years in a AMX10RC platoon.
From being a loader as a private, then holding all the jobs in the platoon up to being the platoon commander as a senior NCO after almost a decade
how was the reliability? The AMX-10P and PAC90 were retired very early in Singapore because they weren't so reliable.
@@eatdriveplay I don't really know. I never worked on the AMX10P. It's a completely different tank. We had little worries with the AMX10RC, but it obviously needed maintenance. But I know Singapore has very competent crews, so that cannot be the problem.
Terrorist.
@@thepacifist702 No 😎
You need to back to school and learn what the definition of terrorism is 🤣🤣
@@charlesstoeng9166 And you need to pray. Hell fire awaits you.
The AMX-10 RC has been a true workhorse for both the French and other users and I'm sure the EBRC Jaguar will carry on the tradition of great French wheeled armored vehicles.
But what happened to the AMX-10 RC T40? Is it just a prototype or French army wants to buy it?
@@CriscCiaddu Hi mate, the AMX-10 RC T40 looked an interesting concept. Do you think Nexter, Thales and Renault trucks didn't want to go through with the concept as it would have taken sales away from the EBRC Jaguar if the T40 was fitted to the AMX-10 RC? Or do you think it wasn't done because the AMX-10 RC's "hull" was passed its shelf life and they wanted a all new weapon system?
@@aking-plums6985 I believe more on the second question.
Starting the production of both the EBRC and the T40 is perhaps a costly and senseless solution Better to directly replace the old AMX-10 RC with the EBRCs.
@@CriscCiaddu The news says the French ordered the JAGUAR, it is designed to replace the AMX-10RC.
@LOLO / VAL
oh hi, yes i know👍
In my old comment I wrote "rather than building both EBRCs and the T40, better to build ONLY EBRCs to replace the old AMX-10s".
My first comment was just a question to understand what happened to the T40 project, but I've never been in agreement with the production for the French Army, I'm only in favor of the Export market for the T40.
-I am well aware that the T40 is too obsolete for today👍
I think French armored vehicles look pretty cool.
Yeah. This is why I love them.
I am not sure if this tank is the ideal choice for the type of terrain and the type of opposing force they are going to meet in Ukraine, but helping the people of Ukraine with their fight for freedom and their very existence is probably the most noble task these proven warriors can be assigned to. And there is no doubt the Ukrainians will quickly figure out how to bring them to maximum use.
Even more important from my German viewers perspective, France steps up and provides a type of equipment that no other country yet dared to give to Ukraine. I hope this is the bridge that the weak government of my country needs to follow with providing our armored equipment as well. Congrats, it's a strong and important move by France.
The AMX10RC is design to destroy T72 (and he destroy a lot of them in the first Gulf War), Russia have a lot of them, and a lot of older tank. It's usefull.
@@Theluciole97 the Gulf war would be a bad benchmark as the western forces had complete superiority in every field (especially the Iraqi tanks didn't have the required optics to actually fight with the west armored units). a fight with Russia would be different
During the muddy season, it will loose it biggest asset. But in the hills around Donbass area. The shot and scoot tactics might do wonders. (When the ground is dry and hard again)
Yes if Germany is too chicken 🐔 to send tanks to Ukraine they should at least allow others to , or they could atleast restricted weapons to western Ukraine to free up Ukrianian Soviet tanks. Western Ukraine isn't an active warzone but it's at risk of another invasion.
Amx10rc wasn't design in order to face frontal heavy assault. But it can be pure jewels in infantry support. You talked about the terrain, Ukraine is gonna receive the light version of it that can cross river etc... I think that's a very good choice for this terrain, in order to support infantry assault like we saw since few month. Surprise attack & shit.
Btw, its enough powerfull to face & anihilate a t72. Mobile utilisation will be the key with this vehicule
Ps : sorry for my English, I'm french. And I also want to add that German actual foreign policy is leading EU to grave. Worst, scam project (i mean SCAF*) in Airbus German mind counterpart is possibly gonna lead to a war between us. We don't want to share our air&space industry tech. We are ready to let your industry to have both heavy armored vehicule (our next MBT) and light weapons (hk416F). Germany need to let us fighterplane lead.
Thank you very much for that homage to the great AMX 10 RC. We had them along our beloved AMX 30B in my regiment back in the early 90s. It was and still is a great armored fighter.
Do you know if France fielded any of these for their SFOR contingent?
12:14 replay button for AMX 10 RC's satisfying jump
That was awesome
Yes, great, as the speed, I think it some places they would have get a ticket ^^
My hip hurts just from watching it.
Thank you, this is awesome.
not all heroes wear cap
I wheelie enjoyed this one.
Ha....
Tank you very meuch
The French always design a practical combat Infantry support unit. Canada could use the 105 mm by the hundreds. With good crews and sound officers this could be a knife in the side of any foe! Good work!
105mm, but they are specific ammunitions (not standard nato) because this big gun in a so light vehicle had need to reduce the recoil ...
Another great video mate thanks 🙏
I fully agree. The French have excelled at this type of warfare. So much so the the US, UK, every western military are moving to this kind of warfare. 👍
You can add Japan .
I just watch a video on the Japanese "Type 16". They look the same.
By watching this and listening the march in the background, I nearly turned french....
Welcome brother! ^^ Regards from France. Just something about the video, 85 km/h on road was with speed control by police. Several AMX10-RC drove above 100km/h on road... I did not know if they got a ticket (if I was a policeman, not sure I will try to give a ticket to 4 guys with a 15t vehicule armed with a gun ^^)
And the legends story continues.
The design concept makes a lot of sense for long term desert use as the maintenance would be much easier than a tank and the vehicle has a much better range than a tank which is also a plus for desert use. I also think six large wheels are better than eight that has become common both for simplicity and functionality. Also it just looks right, no wonder it was in service for so long.
Ukrainian fighters will just love it! I am sure they will use and abuse its "tank-hunter" capabilities, and give this weapon an even more glorious reputation. Now on French can say they busted the Soviet/ruzzian (same same) army too. Slava Ukraini! Merci La France! Ca va avancer les choses vers la victoire sur l envahisseur. C est précisément ce que ce truc va permettre, faciliter.
it is going to eat orctards
I always loved the AMX-10RC for how practical it was. It’s not some giant eight-wheeled monster with a stabilized gun, it’s just a relatively small, simple but smartly equipped vehicle that has everything in needs to do its job.
i'll take a cromwell over this paper tank any day
@@colindinsdale251 forget the Cromwell, the t50 is far more deadly
Look up " US dollar hegemony' with gold reserves, yuan currency swap deals " on yT.
Insightful....
@@colindinsdale251 Saddam's army and their T-72s didn't see it that way. Twenty Iraqi tanks destroyed, not one AMX-10 lost and zero casualties.
How difficult would it be to retrofit (or adapt the current system to) a stablized gun it seems to be the only weak point. That cannon will still rock anything it hits and the crew will be affected regardless of whether it was penetrated or not.
Oh and I like that you have the 'March of the Legion' as your background music!
The music is not: marche de la légion, just "Le boudin"
@@olivierpuyou3621 I agree, however it is the Regimental March of the Legion! anyway it's a great tune to march to
I really enjoy the detailed information and variety of equipment examined. Thanks
I was chief of tank of an AMX-10 during my military service in 1983-84 in Eastern France.🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Thank you for your service, vive la France🇫🇷🇫🇷🇪🇺💪
May I inquire your opinion on the effective sweep of the turret? 45 degrees to either side of straight look reasonable. Could it fire with the gun perpendicular to the chassis on good ground or tarmac?
Ce sera donc un nouvel abonné Français.
Nice video from excellent weapons detective channel...its labelling France tank destroyed vehicle AMX-10 RC with clear explaining of its powerful characters and attacking abilities as tanks destroyed, fires support in battlefields with fast manuuveribliy too nice video thanks for sending...also introducing several versions of it
j'ai été chef d'engins sur 10 rc 6 ans super engins tres rapide plus de 100 km/h et tres précis au tir
Tu as un avis sur l'EBRC Jaguar ?
@@Klliansimabras salut peut etre la solution avec un canon de calibre inferieur mais une bonne puissance et il reste dans la série des engins de reco ebr aml 10 rc sagaie a voir a l'utilisation mais cela a l'air pas mal du tout
A unique vehicle and still well suited for today's geopolitical landscape. It's a bit of a pity it never received a proper name, whereas the Sagaie and Leclerc did. As I've seen them in Corsica training alongside Legionaires of the 2me REP, and they are fast, agile and seem to be capable of appearing seemingly out of nowhere, I've always thought that "Napoleon" would have been an appropriate name for them as Napolean Bonaparte was born in Cortes on Corsica and in his earlier campaigns known for the element of surprise and swift, decisive actions.
Sadly the French Republic see any reference to past Kings/Emperor as dangerously reactionnary. This is why this cannot happen. It could have been named Koenig, Juin or any of the generals of the XXth century though.
@@fu5h1n Oh dear, is it that bad? Napoleon, who gave us the Code Civil, the metric system, surnames and who was a tactical genius - of course never completely devoid of typical 'folie de grandeur' - is now someone to be ashamed of? So political correctness and historical revisionism has struck in France too?
I am Dutch and though the Netherlands was occupied under his reign, we at least recognize his qualities (and lots of men study his tactics as well).
Stood at his grave in the Dome des Invalides in awe and respect many a time, even though I served with an infantry regiment (43me regiment Chassé) that fought the Grande Armee at Quatre Bras.
Somehow I feel the entire western hemishpere is losing it's mind. How do you say that correctly in French? J'en ai marre?
@@Pincer88 This is exactly what "I'm fed up" But the revolt is brewing in the country of France. The soldiers speak, the civilians support them. The left parts are starting to feel hot on the buttocks. An X th revolution may be in the process of being born. But hey in France the revolutions we know we have done so much.
@@Pincer88 well, if you know a bit of French history, there has been a bit of 'generals being a bit to involved in politics' which is one of the drivers of this approach. It isn't new or recent and Napoleon is stil a big figure in France. Not everything needs to be equated to cancel culture my friend
Thank you for clearing that up. And you are probably right.
Warning: word salad following!
You refer to - I presume - Petain (Vichy-France) for example or maybe even to De Gaulle? And I presume Leclerc, the liberator of Paris was a less controversial figure in that respect?
As to cancel culture, I'm not involved in either that or alt-right activism (though the wolf and 88 may give rise to think otherwise). I think the extremes in political life are too prominent due to press and social media, who make a fortune by exaggerating and fueling social division.
Other than that I cannot imagine resentment, anger and hate ever having contributed anything good, but at times I can - to a certain degree - understand frustrations on both sides. Sadly it at times turns into a shouting match.
I served with the infantry (we were the wolves company and I served in 1988-1989, hence my avatar) alongside comrades of all possible colors, faiths, convictions and yes genders. The only thing that really counted was being regarded as someone the other could entrust their life with and standing together in whatever difficulty we faced. Not out of some sort of cadaver discipline (good luck applying that to rebellious Dutch youngsters) but out of a deeply felt kinship.
And truly, I miss that. People supporting each other, a sense of community, regardless of differences. That is the only modus that will help us overcome the greatest of challenges.
So yes, time to tune down many a scale and replace the staccato with a comfortable legato. And not equate everything with cancel culture (or the polar opposite.)
The uniqueness of the military draft (dienstplicht) was in putting a diverse group of boys (and a few girls who served voluntarily) into a situation that only rewarded spontaneous cooperation and teamwork. And we got to meet guys we normally would never encounter, while forging an unbreakable bond. And no, it wasn't all cumbaya, but after three or four months... Never seen integration (not assimilation) running smoother anywhere else. Under pressure most matters tend to become fluid. And that's when friendships spring into existence.
A few months and we'll be having our 7th reunion. Imagine that, a company that has stuck together after almost 34 years. Moroccans/Berbers, Turks, one Italian, three from the Dutch Antilles, eight from Surinam, guys from the North, South, big city guys and those from the countryside, some with a university degree and some barely having finished high school, a few gay, two lesbians, twelve muslims, some christians and lots of atheists and an old Iron Maiden geek said I, the idiot, slapping each other on the shoulder, sharing fond memories and corny jokes. And everyone feeling an anachronism, just like Stefan Zweig in "Der Welt von Gestern."
Progress it appears is not always improvement. I toast to that.
Cheers/Proost!
my uncle drove one of these in the early 90s as he was conscripted and he loved it, he was a driver and gunner
It's rumoured that if you stare into a broken mirror in the dark at midnight & say _Hon! Hon! Hon! Baguette! Baguette! Baguette!_ 3 times, an AMX-10 & a platoon of French Foreign legionaries will appear behind you.

@@olivierpuyou3621 "baguette" is an international meme for "french style/touch".
Lovely vehicle, very efficient. Outside of France nobody ahs anything comparably light and powerful. It will give excellent service in Ukraine.

The gun cannot pierce even the old T54 ! The only thing the ukies can fight on this is other IFVs !

This French AFV have 2 things for desert warfare, Speed and firepower. Attack when the enemy is not ready, not expecting.
Excellent
Surprise twist: They are going to Ukraine.. can't wait to see what the Ukrainian Army will do with these amazing vehicles.
They surely don't have french skills, the most important
ukranians will die as usual.
@@Zx17OPv57iyou are joking right? Ukrainians are already using western weapon platforms successfully - this will be easy.
The Ukrainian Army will quickly die in these (relatively) lightly armoured vehicles. They won’t last a second when engaged by a Russian main battle tank or their abundant anti-tank weapons.
Apsolutely.. The British designed and built simply the most useless pile of junk the Alvis Stalwart, but this AMX is proof that 6x6 is a credible concept with the right suspension system.. and will do well in Ukraine.. The neutral turn ability is extremely impressive and possibly the reason why it will be appreciated..
Well done!😉😄👍
nice vid, sure is a really neat vehicle, also i really appreciate that we can feel the passion you have for what you do and for the military. subscribed. edit: (and if i may, just the sound quality could be improved and it would really help your channel growth, cause i could see some people not staying just for that, anyway, keep up the good work)
Depending upon the price France wants for the surplus vehicles, it seems as if this could be a good alternative to the main battle tank for many third tier military forces.
It could also be a very significant upgrade to fire support/armored car units for countries still using Engesa EE-9s, AML 90s, ERC 90s, or similar vehicles.
Not bad, French have some good design of ground army vehicles.
Yea! I timely recommendation from the YT algorithm. I was curious about these since they are soon going to be in Ukraine.👍

Chad AMX 10 RC vs Virgin Stryker
Me gustan los vehículos blindados franceses.
I always thought this was France's coolest vehicle. The relatively big gun seemed to give it a great deal of usefulness. Sad to see it go. The new EBRC Jaguar just isn't as cool.
Agreed. I hope they know what they're doing.
@@teller1290 Why did you think that ?
@@Klliansimabras I think that the Jaguar isn't as cool too, I have a preference for big canons like the Centauro have because I don't really know how powerful a 40mm canon is, the AMX 10 RC can be used as a tank destroyer because of it is canon and his ability to flank to hit the side or the rear if possible, but to me, a 40mm doesn't seems enought vs tank armor
How powerful is a 40mm canon ?
@@yann1922 I believe there are reports of Swedish 40mm equipped CV90's being able to threaten older soviet tanks but if French doctrine is to be considered (namely operations in the middle-east and north-western Africa) than an autocannon is more than sufficient for the job, especially against counter-insurgent groups who are aren't going to show up with next-gen MBTs.
The Jaguar can basically threaten any light armour the enemy has and some older-gen MBTs. It also has a ATGM if it actually had to engage with a tank. But by and large the French were thinking to use this for counter-insurgency duties, not tank slaying.
I hope the Ukrainians will blow a lot of Russian Tanks with this.
Well done France. You are the first western country that delivers tanks.
I whish Olaf Scholz would have balls like Macron but unfortunately he doesn't understand how you have to deal with Russia.
blown MBT's is not the main job for the AMX10RC, it's only a possibility "in the worse case", not forgott that in such case they need to make a quick shot and scott because the armor is very light (to allow amphibious capability)
HAHAHAHA..... FCK ZEL
sadly to say but utopia is all around... this beautiful tanks will be buried unfortunately.. it is not 100 western tanks which will change the war , stop dreaming !!! ..
Will be super interesting to see how it gets on in Ukraine, I have a feeling it will do well
Its not meant to engage MBT, thats not its goal and thats no issue. People forget the principles of combined arms. Even MBT vs MBT battles are not a general doctrine, in most cases that would be the exception or a bad tactic to rely on. Thats more about ego then military common sense.
In Ukraine, it would be a good and vital support vehicle for experienced combat units in rapid movements, exploiting weak spots with speed and flexibility.
There will be situations with badly positioned, unprepared, demoralized or ill-trained and green russian units and troops. This light tank can take advantage of such opportunities and cause serious damage, also pursue and overtake fast retreating russian units, having more firepower then other fast light vehicles.
Thank you France! Great people helping Ukraine. 🇺🇲🇺🇦
It looks like the Detective is going to have to update this video, Today (5 Jan 23) it was announced that France is sending AMX-10 RCs to Ukraine! Things just got WAY more 'interesting'.
I liked the video, however, France is also equipped against 'heavier' powers, we have also MBT and of course ... nuclear nukes.
The main difference with our European counterparts we need a military projection force too, that needs also speed, and easy (by plane) to deploy asset in almost all around the world. Not because to do evil things, but because we have so many territories all around the globe.
Moreover, speed is also an asset. We can see it again in Ukraine in a modern conflict with UA swarming RU defences in the Est.
Now, those Light tanks will probably do their last battles in UA, and we will see how they will perform in a high intensity battle, as it seems that for some, the exceptional perf of the French was almost a 'cheat' because we were too fast. I am pretty sure UA will do a good usage of them.
Are those “nuclear nukes” atomic?
@@yenko5196 They are plutonium atomic to be precise
Fuel tanker disguised as a canvas truck
Genius
It’s great to see our French NATO allies are thinking a bit different to the mainstream with these. Much harder hitting than the UK’s Scorpions. The UK could benefit from the new Jaguar.
Thank you ! the 105mm gun was devastating for such a light vehicle. Not sure about the CTA 40mm gun of the Jaguar, particularly against brick or mud walls...
@@laurentnicolas1550 sorry I thought that the Jaguars would have a similar gun if France was using these as a replacement. The UK could learn a lot from France regarding defence. France has a very large military where the UK has cut defence for decades. At least our Prime Minister is now reversing those cuts but it will take decades to catch up.
@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 No we couldn’t learn from the French. An absolute nightmare to work alongside on Operations and these vehicles have wafer thin armour.
Totally different role. Plus the scorpion went decades ago.
@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 Actually, the new EBRC Jaguar's 40mm cannon is very interesting because it is more versatile than the 105mm one and it still doesn't lack of punch with its various telescoped ammunitions : airburst rounds against trenches, hidden targets, helicopters and drones, APFSDS-T rounds against any armor which is not the one of a modern MBT and programmable high-explosive rounds against concrete, walls. And the 105mm ROF of 5-6 rounds/min is no match next to the CTAS cannon with its 200 rounds/min.
The new gun is smaller but hits harder on almost everything with more accuracy
they will be replaced in the French army, but I think they will quickly be sold secondhand
I'd like to have three. Thinking of starting my own recce platoon in the States.
So the AMX-10 RC T40 is it just a prototype....😕? I thought the old models were update.
In the 80s the amx10rc had limited anti tank capabilities, because of the downgraded 105mm gun required to fit in a 10 ton class vehicle.
Today just dont even think of it, unless the oponent is no more than a t55 or t62...
It has Never been intended as a tank destroyer...
Sounds like a great machine. Happy to hear that Ukraine is gonna get them. The sooner the better.
Wargame Red Dragon intensifies
The AMX will have a second life on the Ukrainian front.
This looks interesting, like tank, but with wheels.
An upgraded version of AMX-10 RC integrated with MMP would be perfect for Indian Army against the Chinese on the Ladakh front.
Cool tank
I would buy
Buenisimo para la IMARA y el ejercito argentino podria operar en maniobras junto al TAM vc.
What a coincideance
Thanks for the lowdown.

Interesting video and I believe that the tank destroyer version of this type of vehicle will be what the British army go with. Reasons:
The nearest threat in our Nato role is Russia and the Baltic states. To get there we will have to drive a long way - wheels v tracks- wheels win.
A tank destroyer version is a great defensive weapon.
It's cheap and easy to maintain
Intervention in the new age of Brexit will take the form of our version of the Powell doctrine
The new 'defensive' plan for UK forces is to commit to NATO and to defend resources in Africa and the Far East - (a bit like WW2 and defending Australia with a line drawn above Borneo)
In Africa, this vehicle has proved its worth because of the distances that have to be travelled. All of the world's landmass fits into Africa - it's huge.
We will deploy a vehicle like this to Kenya and maybe Tanzania as support for our troops. Like the French have in Chad.
Just some random thoughts
If Nato fights Russia it will be over in hours without a winner.
WW2 style fighting is not coming back between nuclear armed countries.
@@Crashed131963 Agreed.
@@Crashed131963 I hope nuclear deterrence will keep being efficient, but if someone declare war whithout using them, we might see a situation with no one wanting to be the first. Also nukes are useful against big targets like cities, its not really efficient againts a fast moving army. So its a good idea to prepare to a war, even if its not to have it starting.
@@justeunfan3364 You can believe the first side who thinks they are losing the conventional war will rather have two losers rather than be the only loser.
If the Cities are nuked where are these armies going to live after?
The movie "The Road" comes to mind.
@@Crashed131963 You are right, as there is no way to know what would (or will) happen, let's just hope no one will never have to make this choice
Mexico owns the Panhard Sagaie armed with a 90 mm gun, the Sagaie is more or less contemporary to the AMX-10 RC, so i don´t see how Mexico could replace the Sagaies with a similarly old vehicle, if Mexico can´t afford the new Jaguar EBR due to its high cost another 8 or 6 wheeled vehicle could be adapted giving them a turret like the Belgian Cockerill turret family with a suitable 90. 105 or even 120 mm gun.
Merci France 🇫🇷 big balls
Well we will see soon enough if wheeled "tanks" will cope with Ukranian mud! thanks for the video
best moment at 12:14

Welcome in Ukraine
AMX-10 and VBCI French soldiers have been deployed to combat operations in Mali and Central Africa, have they ?
Yes. For many years
@@laurentnicolas1550 But I like VBCI more
@@phaknam Why ?
@@Klliansimabras I'm just asking because I like the Frence army VBCI 8×8 armored vehicles . and the Portugal army Punder II. combat operations in Central Africa
@@phaknam VBCI are not gonna be remplaced. They will even be upgrade to VBCI-2. It's a good vehicle, still effective. But why did you like the VBCI on your point of view ?
Welcome to Ukraine 🇺🇦
👍
