To be honest it is too lighweight. 23mm ZU-23-2 AA autocannons are impossible to put on target, because the gun rocks and shakes the car so much with first two rounds fired, that second third an fourth on 150m range hit 3 floors above the target.

Yes, but terrain and troop density also matters. Technicals are mainly limited to flat terrain without too much obstacles. In this case the mobility of technicals worked well because there were relatively few troops in a very large country. Technicals would be worthless for example in Finland or the Baltic States.

What's sad about Chad's history is that even after they won the Toyota war, the country is still engulfed in civil war for the next 30 years. Idriss Deby, the commander of the Chad army (which were mentioned in a video) went on the become the dictatoral ruler of the country from 90s until a few weeks ago when he was killed during the rebel's offensive.

@Andreas Glad If one thinks that one colour of big-brained ape is superior to another. It's people being people. Study history, thirty years of war is nothing special.

Toyota pick-up became a legit war machine! Yup, not droids, not space force, none of the AI. It's a pick-up! Slap a 23mm ZSU autocannon on the back of your truck, add 3 hardened steel plates in front, and there you go!

So the Chadians captured so much Libyan equipment during their war -- including 128 tanks -- their Army could have forged their own armored division for free! True, they are obsolete or near-obsolete Soviet models. But still such prizes of war don't come along every day. The government just needs to make a deal with somebody to supply spare parts and ammunition for such a division. Absolutely astonishing!

This is crazy. First thing anyone would like to do with the BMP1 is to trash this shitty old turret. With the rack ful of ammo for 76mm anything turns the whole vehicle into cooking owen. So its low in safety with low protection, low in space and low in visibility, not to mention low in possible upgrades. Don't know if that's how you want a low profile to be implemented. The second worst can only be the sick rear doors with this freakin construction pillar that makes a rigid stretcher impossible to load from the back.
One big hello from Chad 🇹🇩 thanks for sending this our old awesome history about the first Toyota war people came up with the idea that cutting the head of the Toyota Technical in 1986 I guess Chadian are fight so quickly no mercy people.
engineer Mohamed Ahmed Gutale invented the use of guns in 1990, Mujahid Gutale, the first struggle of the SNM, the Somali national movement, the liberation of the northern regions. In 1983, he started and dismantled the first car. guns,
That Toyota Corolla commercial was filmed in Venezuela, back in the days of glory. A decade before the country was destroyed without the use of war machinery. Ideology and fanatism were the weapon of choice. Now we barely produce a tire, much less complete cars.
There is an vid of an heavy machine gun being fired from the bed of a Landcruiser . . taking off the vital bits of an of an fellow perched on the bonnet
Even Bradrey and M1 tank get destroyed easily by drone nowadays. An era in which more Toyota technical will play an active role on the battlefield than expensive tanks
Veteran Gutale SNM's tactical contribution to the world has spread to the world today with the major countries in the picture and film fighting in Asia and Africa such as Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Chad, Mali. Central African Republic, and the United States, Russia, and even Japan, who wrote the design or equipment for the technological breakthrough that Engineer Gutale brought to the world while leading the SNM, which is a very serious film. defeated and defeated by their allies is now at war, Later he did, with various types of weapons such as Artillery and BM shielded in different books, each with a pipeline. Engineer Gutale introduced and started from 1980, to 1982, the cutting of beheaded cars for Toyota Sakakawa, anti-aircraft or light trips such as the building. This is one of the reasons why the somali army won so quickly. somalia reached that point in 1990, when snm provided 40 technical vehicles to general Aideed
I was contractor in the Middle East after 911. The Toyota " Technicals" are perfect if your a Muslim. By that I mean unarmored " expendable" little cheap pickups with Russian auto cannons are great for the Hadjiis because they can shoot till they get killed by the hundreds or thousands and no one cares. Americans cannot not think that way in this conflict. Each soldier is a serious loss.
Precisely why America can’t win wars anymore. Too afraid to take casualties. It’s funny though that the us army now has technicals based off Chevy colorados.

You may like to know that I have amended the article, based on your comment and several other comments from Somalians.

The real first technicals are probably kubelwagens retrofitted with an MG34/42 pintle mount and similarly converted jeeps with M1919 Brownings, not the later British cars.
If i was the Libyans id be using alot of 14.5 mils and 12.7mils. Even 23 mils Stick those things on every armored vechicle. Obviously the best thing to use against these Toyotas is automatic weapons. Not heavy weaponry.
Oh and zsu 23s and zsu 57s will be taking the lead if i can spare them. With traverse speed to shoot down a jet they would make mince meat of those trucks.
In Australia these are utes and what we call trucks are either flat bed or pan techs and carry 6 pallets or more and are rigid they are much bigger than a ute and to give you an idea trucks carry utes got it
The Japanese are excellent manufacturers of so many things. I am pleased Japan is manufacturing Jet Fighters, Submarines, Aircraft Carriers etc again especially with North Korea and now China behaving in a less than friendly manner! Japanese quality now comes at a price (and so it should) The Latest Land Cruiser costs $151,000 NZD (NZD =.93AUD). So a Kiwi Bloke/ Farmer/ Tradey ets could buy 3 Ford Rangers to one Toyota Land Cruiser!
Toyotas can handle anything. I used to bike near my junior high. There was this local man who had a business maintaining irrigation systems. He would have this 80's Toyota hooked up to this huge white Joy air compressor with a two stroke Detroit Diesel. The thing had to weigh at least 3 tons, but that Toyota moved it no problem.
Work with what you have! this is the best we in Africa can afford, maybe it's painful to some western governments,they forgot that we decided to look East because the best European and American alternatives are overpriced.
On Sinjar Mountain, in western Kurdish-controlled, Yazidi faith areas - basically their homeland, after they drove out ISIS from the mountain in 2016, they built a semi-realistic sized monument to the Technical. It was hard to tell the make because it was almost normal size and almost gloriously oversized. The truck I was in went by too fast to get a photo, but it does live on with legendary status! (Later, during the Battle for Mosol, so Iraqi bases had trucks and cars with cow grils bolted to the front, ala Mad Max - they also had American M1A1 Abrams MBTs, so Im curious how their doctrine worked, haha).
Guys have toys, I have a Toy ... LC78 Troopy... and proud owner I am ! This car worth every penny I put in it ... it’s THE car : it will carry you everywhere you want reliably no matter the geography or the weather!
About three quarters of the way through the video and I'm still unclear on why the USMC anthem is the background music for it. Whatever, I'm down with it.
The "machine gun on a truck" goes back a very long way, I know that Pattons troops did use trucks and cars mounting machine guns back when the US fought Mexican revolutionaries in the 1910s.
It shows that logistics matter. Tachankas existed when armored cars were around. But Tachankas were far easier to field and maintain for those using them than armored cars.
Is there a way to get the whole list of different types of technicals in your classification system? From what I can see, your website only has an article on Type 1.

@@andreyradchenko8200 A lot of technical have some added armour. Not a lot but a bit comparable to early armoured cars
@@thomasbaker6563 The major difference is that armoured cars have purpose-built hulls, unlike reinforced variants of unarmoured vehicles.
A other very good video. 😉👍

Looks like a tofu delivery suv. Where's the cup holder?
At the end of the big boom stick on the back. Just remember to smile for the camera flash :)

Old Toyota Landcruisers (especially Diesels) will run until the last stars in the universe fuse chromium into iron. God bless Toyota.
Good job, excellent video, superb !!!
Mmm. That might be a bit to generous of a complement. Instead, how about _"Noble effort!"_ ?
@@IllusionSector you don't like compliments?
@@pavelalexe9254
I like measured and balanced compliments.
In Brazil the 40 serie, that we call Bandeirantes, was sold up to 00’
If i was the Libyans id be using alot of 14.5 mils and 12.7mils.
Even 23 mils
Stick those things on every armored vechicle.
Obviously the best thing to use against these Toyotas is automatic weapons. Not heavy weaponry.
Oh and zsu 23s and zsu 57s will be taking the lead if i can spare them.
With traverse speed to shoot down a jet they would make mince meat of those trucks.
Ngl this video is very well done.
In Australia these are utes and what we call trucks are either flat bed or pan techs and carry 6 pallets or more and are rigid they are much bigger than a ute and to give you an idea trucks carry utes got it
Hilux and landcruiser doing what the jeep and the hummer does at a fraction of the cost.
Chads don't need tanks just Toyotas
The Japanese are excellent manufacturers of so many things. I am pleased Japan is manufacturing Jet Fighters, Submarines, Aircraft Carriers etc again especially with North Korea and now China behaving in a less than friendly manner! Japanese quality now comes at a price (and so it should) The Latest Land Cruiser costs $151,000 NZD (NZD =.93AUD). So a Kiwi Bloke/ Farmer/ Tradey ets could buy 3 Ford Rangers to one Toyota Land Cruiser!
Damn, I didn't know Tank Encyclopedia was Romanian.
My mom had one of these and damn they are super nice
Talk about pickup lines...
Omg thats so bad lol
And yet, I have to wonder if they really did/do outnumber the t-55.
4-1975 US Marine’s Spec Gulf War FJ75, ended up in the US, by accident, after the war. I used to own one.
Oddly enough there are a handful of J76s where I used to live.(US)
Toyotas can handle anything. I used to bike near my junior high. There was this local man who had a business maintaining irrigation systems. He would have this 80's Toyota hooked up to this huge white Joy air compressor with a two stroke Detroit Diesel. The thing had to weigh at least 3 tons, but that Toyota moved it no problem.
All Toyota LC70 can tow up to 3,5 tons !

Toyota is the best maker car in the world
Why mostly cruisers? Was it influenced by import laws?
Well Ford F250 as back up ;)
Work with what you have! this is the best we in Africa can afford, maybe it's painful to some western governments,they forgot that we decided to look East because the best European and American alternatives are overpriced.
We Somali made the Toyota famous every body start copying us once they saw in the tv sadly we had a bad civil war

On Sinjar Mountain, in western Kurdish-controlled, Yazidi faith areas - basically their homeland, after they drove out ISIS from the mountain in 2016, they built a semi-realistic sized monument to the Technical. It was hard to tell the make because it was almost normal size and almost gloriously oversized. The truck I was in went by too fast to get a photo, but it does live on with legendary status! (Later, during the Battle for Mosol, so Iraqi bases had trucks and cars with cow grils bolted to the front, ala Mad Max - they also had American M1A1 Abrams MBTs, so Im curious how their doctrine worked, haha).
Just curious: why the USMC anthem playing under the tech description of the Toyota?
The Toyota will write its greatest chapter the coming South African war (Boer War 3)
Guys have toys, I have a Toy ... LC78 Troopy... and proud owner I am ! This car worth every penny I put in it ... it’s THE car : it will carry you everywhere you want reliably no matter the geography or the weather!
About three quarters of the way through the video and I'm still unclear on why the USMC anthem is the background music for it. Whatever, I'm down with it.
Great . Outstanding. Excellent video.
Not sure if I'd go as far as to use these two adjectives to describe it.
Toyota tougher than hell
Speaking of the Libyan Mil-25, it was the subject of an animated video by Yarnhub.
Gaijin，when？
The "machine gun on a truck" goes back a very long way, I know that Pattons troops did use trucks and cars mounting machine guns back when the US fought Mexican revolutionaries in the 1910s.
Australian infantry defending Tobruk in WWII used captured Italian cannon strapped rear-facing on the back of trucks.
In the flat open, mobility is what matters most.
Nice, ironic intro!! Excellent!
Origin of the technical is the Soviet Tachanka from the Civil War.
It shows that logistics matter. Tachankas existed when armored cars were around. But Tachankas were far easier to field and maintain for those using them than armored cars.

Thank you veryy muuch
Stan Lucian is really good at his job.
Just want to note that April 1st was a few weeks ago.
Nice
Can we all agree that "FAP" is the worst name they could have picked for their rebel group?
Terrorism exists
Toyota: stonks
Combat tested pick up. Which power block Chad now allied, soviet or the west?
Is there a way to get the whole list of different types of technicals in your classification system? From what I can see, your website only has an article on Type 1.
Shows the value of mobility and the incompetence of the Lybian Army.
