The Saudi army is a fucking joke. There doesn't even appear to be anything wrong with the tank in OP's video, they simply abandoned it.

>>28907639
>>28907744
Saudi Abrams are old 90's vintage M1A2's with the export armor package (what Egypt, Iraq, and Kuwait also got).

They have been updating them recently with electronics from the SEP, which are designated M1A2S.

>>28907744
No depleted uranium armor inserts
But the real difference is the complete lack of training

>>28907596
Arabs are retards, nothing new.

Isn't the saudi army typical for what rich nations without a fucking clue tend to do?

Waste billions on hi-tech military gadgets while the training system is still stuck in the medieval caste system resulting in a bunch of barely-literate offspring of cousin-fuckers can't make any of it work.

Literally any fucking arab oil state.

Which is still not bad given that they've managed to kill more then a thousand coalition troops.

>>28907957
But they are, the S is literally a export UPGRADE from the SEP, meaning it has all the same shit the domestic SEP has, including the armor.

Anti Tank guided missileman here.

We were briefed that the exported models were indeed monkey models. Of course they wouldnt exactly tell us they werent, but thats the official line we were given.

Also, you need to keep in mind that there are several types of kills that can be made on a tank.

I mean im sure we are all familiar with catastrophic kill (oblitorated, cannot be rebuilt or repaired)
Mobility kill (cannot move)
Firepower kill (cannot shoot)
But crews can also get spooked and just bail out of an otherwise servicable vehicle.

And enemy tech HAS existed for years that can penetrate our MBT's, but just because a rocket, IED, or Missile kills a crew member, breaks a component, or just scares the sand monkey crew bad enough to abandon a salvagable vehicle doesnt mean it was a catastrophic kill.

From what our intel guys said the hajis like capturing tanks, blowing them up once they cant maintain or use them, then taking pics and videos of them dancing around a burning hulk and claiming they blew it up in combat.

>>28908388
>ATGM guy here

Did you blow up any T-55's in the sandbox?

>>28908410
No, all of my deployments were in afghanistan.

We put a TOW bunker buster through a compound wall and we used an old TOW Alpha to blow open a gate to initiate a raid though.

I blew up a T-72 hulk that had a full combat loadout inside on a testing range outside of Las vegas as part of testing for the newer improved long range JAV, and have fired a couple TOW Bravos off at M60's on ranges, and blew up an old LAV with a JAV on a range last year.

I VC a truck now, but not even that much anymore since I EAS soon.

>>28907912
Which is exactly what russiaboos do when someone mentions syria's t-72 fleet.

>>28908528
You think they are smart enough to do that?

>>28908548
No. But smart people may call them and send couple dollars to do that.

>>28908566
Unless they are all just monkey models comprised of regular old homogenous rolled steel and not worth cutting up and checking out.

>>28908614
I dont think anyone would accept export M1 abrams if they were just plain old RHA.

But if they did cut them up then we would see some interesting shit. It would be seeing a cut up T-72B all over again.

>>28908614
>>28908823
No Abrams model, export or not has just RHA.

The armor package is different from US Abrams but it's still composite.

Can anyone tell me what "monkey models" are?

Do they have less armor?

Are they made with less quality?

Are they simply Abrams that aren't updated or modernized... say ten-twenty years behind current tech?

>>28909716
Monkey Models are downgraded export model tanks sold to other nations while the good stuff is kept at home.

The downgrade is usually just the armor package to avoid capture which can prove disastrous.

The latest and greatest ammunition is another thing that typically isn't sold for the same reason as the armor.

Electrical systems, FCS and shit like that usually aren't downgraded as them being captured doesn't really matter.

That being said export models usually won't have the latest electronic updates because they won't be receiving regular upgrades like our tanks.

>>28909824

shut the fuck up amerilard your military is shit, Europa will crush you !!!!

>>28909716
>>28909824
For comparison, the 'monkey model' T-72s used by Saddam were;

T-72A
T-72M1 (T-72A without NBC gear)
T-72M (downgraded FCS and hull armor)

All were outdated compared to the then Soviet standard T-72B, but were for intents and purposes comparable to second line Soviet units.

>>28909716

Which is the standard armor package minus DU plates on the turret cheeks...

So when the ammo cooks off, do they lose all of it? Or is it compartmentalized?

>>28910090

When the ammo fire begins in earnest everything else basically melts and the tank is lost.

Blow-off panels only give the crew an extra few seconds to escape the fire.

>>28907639
Saudi ones are the latest M1A2 SEP standard minus DU. By your logic the marine corps and the vast majority of the army are using monkey models since most Abrams are the M1A1 variant.

>>28910403
the marine corps use monkey models of everything, so that isn't fair.

>>28910468

The USAF likes the V-22 since it's ideal for SAR, CSAR, and special forces missions.

The Navy is getting the V-22 as a C-2 replacement and to serve as an aerial tanker.

Israel let the proposal expire due to elections, and are waiting for the new cabinet to vote on it.

SK and India are still showing interest, and haven't said anything one way or another.

>its inability to land in high altitude terrain.

Except that's a flat out lie, considering that a V-22 extracted a special forces team from a 15,000 foot mountain that conventional helos couldn't reach.

>Not wanting their M1A2 tanks to become obsolete, the Saudi government contracted with GDLS in 2006 to rebuild and upgrade their M1A2 tank fleet to the US Army M1A2 SEP standard, with some modifications to suit the needs of the Royal Saudi Army. These upgraded Saudi M1A2 tanks are referred to by GDLS as the M1A2S.

The v-22 can fly in plane mode up to 25,000 feet
But it cannot hover that high, so it cannot land/take off from that height.

Special forces missions might be one thing it works ok for, launching from a long runway, flying high for maximum speed & range, etc

The SOP for a magazine hit is to stay buttoned up and go for cover at top speed. Once you are in a safe area, assess the damage and usually drive back to base to get the thing fixed.

>>28912032

It was actually the buttpained Cheeseburgers that first made the claim that Saudi Abrams have some inferior base armor. Which is totally unfounded and unsourced in any technical literature.

>>28912013
armor inserts don't protect the engines

And these are PR operations
>None of the aircraft involved in the rescue operation took any fire, according to the officer.
They would not send the V-22 anywhere it might take fire.

>>28912085
Except most sources on the deal never say that the M1A2S is the equivalent of the SEPv2. It's actually described more akin to the AIM upgrade, which only added in updated FCS and sensors and overhauled individual components to extend service life.

Nothing is said about any upgrade to armor package, and it's a well known fact that export Abrams don't have the DU inserts at the very least.

>>28911930

Except you know, the DU mesh is one of the key features on M1A1 HA. There's almost 6 tons of the stuff on an Abrams and adds around ~200mm effective vs KE on the frontal profile.

An Abrams not having the DU inserts is like T-90 without the ERA.

>>28912139
Blackhawks aren't very well armored either, and CSAR doesn't mean going on a mission where you actually take enemy fire. CSAR refers to extracting personnel from hostile territory, which 2011 Libya most certainly was.

You'd be surprised, the turret bustle would still be pretty much intact. heck even the rounds themselves are; the propellant is all burned up but the combustible case is still there except for a hole or two and still holding the warhead/ projectile together.

False. You can stay inside and when the fire abates after a minute or so you can drive back home and have the turret bustle assembly repaired/replaced.

Of the 6000 Abrams in active service less than a third are fitted with depleted uranium turret plates.

M1A2s are a minority in the armed forces, not a majority like people here seem to think.

6000 refers to Abrams that America has, the vast majority of which have one of the generations of DU armor.

>>28917975

Implying the Houthis use TOW and not Iranian supplied Toophan clones and various Russian missiles.

The US never forgets that Iran bought F-18s before the revolution, aircrafts they still maintain. Exports models are therefore carefully thought out before leaving the US.

I see people here are rather concerned with armor and ammunition. You forget the fire control system can be backdoored. It probably is.

Rumour in the defence industry is that no high tech weapons are exported without a backdoor or a trap of some form. And that this is the reason why the source code to F-35 is not provided to supposed allies, like the UK. That source code would probably reveal the back doors. See also the recent reveals on the US tapping Israeli aircrafts in real time, including video feed.

The easiest way of backdooring tanks is through the fire control computer. Just apply a few degrees offset to intended firing solution and you have plausible misses.

The same rumours are that the back dooring takes place through undeclared dataframes in the GPS data. Much of the GPS data is declared, such as ephemeris, calendar etc. There is a lot more that noone talks about.

These rumours have been going on for more than 10 years now. Do not expect these ever to be revealed by the US. You would basically have to reverse enginner a lot of code, including embedded code and FPGAs and ASICs provided with cryptographic protections against exactly these kinds of probings.

What are you talking about? Only the most misinformed believe GPS is part of communications. And you need position information, particularly latitude in order to compensate for coriolis effect, something that has been well known for more than 50 years. That latitude information comes from the GPS.

>>See also the recent reveals on the US tapping Israeli aircrafts in real time, including video feed.

Sufficient to elicit a response from Israel.

>>The same rumours are that the back dooring takes place through undeclared dataframes in the GPS data.
>yep a one way coms, sure this is going to work ..
Of course. You only need to transmit that a certain lot of weapons are now to be disabled, no need to get feedback.

I never brought up two way communications but if you wish to do that I am sure the US is capable of that. For instancde the ballistics computer is connected to the gunner's primary sight in which you can easily hide a microwave antenna that the buyers would not recognize as such.

I'm pretty sure we don't sell tanks with the same armor we have.

>>28907596
Looks like the tank got disabled and the crew bolted the fuck out of there.

>Idunno why not ask any us/uk soldier since they've been getting btfo in Iraq.

Because ROE and hiding behind civillians, mostly.

In open warfare, sandpeeps generally get wiped out by anyone slightly comptent. The reason ISIS is doing okay right now is because they're mostly fighting other sandpeeps.

So can someone explain why that TOW missile vid shows the tank just sitting there for 10 seconds?

>>28918486
Arab tank crews are not very skilled. They often sit there in the open until they get hit. They also have a habit of bailing after the first hit, even if it wasn't a serious amount of damage.

>>28918486
Few tanks have means for detecting incoming missiles or even laser illumination. There has been talk about it but that is all: just talk.

Certain types of reactive armour have a radar system that detonates plating in front of the path of the incoming missile or projectile. This radar is very short range and also has to be weak in order not to give away the position of the tank.

>>28908548
Don't be hard on them. Had to walk over a mountain range in flip-flops, can't be carrying plasma-cutters simply on spec.

The wrecks in Yemen proper are probably going to stay there relatively unmolested. Wait for end of the (local) war. Might not be long.

>>28918486
Why it should not? Real life is not BF game where you get the warning sign.

>Hadji finds a intact abrams
>Hadji doesn't know how to fix or operate such a non slav vehicle
>Hadji gets confused and head begins to hurt
>so Hadji puts TNT into intact tank blowing it up and yelling allah akbar

Video then becomes fodder and bait for abrams is shit posts on internet by slav stronk shills

Why would you not try to capture an M1 tank?
Are these khat munchers too stupid to attempt repairs?

>>28919162
Yes they're too stupid.

Also unlike slavic shit they can't be repaired with a sledge hammer and vodka. They actually require spare parts (which they don't have access to) and a general proficiency with tools (which they don't have).

>>28907596
I don't really understand, they capture a clearly intact tank fill it full of explosives and blow it up? So whats wrong with the tank as a design? Just seems like the idiots driving and commanding it.

It could have been any tank even a T-55 and the outcome would have been the exact same.

>>28918165
>proven wrong

That has to actually happen for you to claim so, otherwise you just come off as someone losing blood from their anus.

>>28909915
The real t-72 used by Saddam was very few.
In 1991 the most of the irak's armored forces was composed of t-55 and chinese knock off, mixed with t-44, ww1 tankette etc etc with no air support, without a good AA to save their asses and the top of this, the t-72 used ammunitions discarded by soviets in 1973, becouse its werent effective.

>>28919326
Also his T-72s did not have thermal infrared vision. That is commonly considered a major failing.

>>28907596
The Saudis are as close to untrained as you can get. To say that their crew are incompetent would be a compliment.

>>28919423
Neither did Soviet tanks outside of a handful of upgraded T-80's.

>>28918556
why isnt it a priority? aircraft have had warning indicators for being locked on for ages.

>>28908022
>80% of their territory

You mean like 30% of their territory that they conquered in 2015. The Saudis aren't even at Sanaa yet.

>>28907596
What is whit that meme how not a one abrams was ever destryed (only demaged) from wiki?

haha so is the Abrams tank the modern Sherman tank aka Ronson death trap?

>>28919715
>You mean like 30% of their territory that they conquered in 2015. The Saudis aren't even at Sanaa yet.
Good point.

I meant 80 percent of the country, counting the area the Hadi remnants retreated too in the past. Thanks for catching me on that.

>>28919802
vatnik strawman that originated from the fact that the only non mobility kill known until recently involved an IED combined with a bunch of artillery shells

>>28918093
The UK has had access to and helped with the source code of F35 for almost 10 years.

BAE with its warship and submarine building experience brings a huge amount to the table when it comes to sensor fusion and system integration.

>>28919423
None of the soviet tanks did. Most advanced soviet T-80U had light intensifier night sight TPN-4 Buran-PA.

>BILLIONS AND BILLIONS
Wat

Abrams cost like 6-7 million. And I highly doubt the Saudis and Iraqis are paying those prices considering the amount of free shit and aid we give them every year.

>>28917689
Propoganda pieces, mostly. Russia has never allowed their most advanced tech anywhere near actual danger. The thing about being an export based military is that you gotta make your shit look good on the screen. They still remember how big a hit their T-72 sales got in the First Gulf War.

Tank and crew are fine in the case of ammo cooking off, just without ammo.

See webum

>>28910403
Marine M1A1's are the Heavy Armor with the DU. it's a difference of electronics, otherwise the actual hull is identical.

>>28924431
I never paid attention before, but it took 20 seconds of the ready ammo burning furiously to set off the semi ready ammo.

retard, that book is from 2003. 13 fucking years ago!

Saudi Abrams'es do CONTAIN DU panels.

>>28907596
The Saudis are such shit and can't win any war they get into, no matter what kind of equipment they have. I'm surprised they haven't flown their new Typhoons into the ground yet. Sure as hell isn't BAE's fault if they do.

>>28924611
And their tanks contain the same armor they had 13 years ago, meaning no DU.

>retard calling someone else a retard

>>28925087
BULLSHIT. They spend $2.9 billion upgrading them. They received armor upgrade too.

Also, talk about DU is a moot point because latest ATGMs can penetrate that too.

>>28921678

>T-90
>Most advanced Russian tech

Lol, idiots believe this.

>>28925480
The only upgrades the Saudis got to their Abrams were purely FCS and sensor related, as well as full overhauls. Nothing was ever said about armor upgrade packages.

>>28912497

His point still stands. No one has proven that the basic armor package (ignoring DU plates) is any different between US and Saudi tanks.

>>28925511
Considering the the Armata is still a pipe dream at this point, it pretty much is.

>>28925533

Again, there is no difference between Saudi and US armor except for the DU plates, which only cover two front turret faces anyway..

I believe only the Egyptian tanks have considerably downgraded armor because they are manufactured locally and the Egyptians are probably using homogeneous steel.

>>28925545

a pipe dream means something that does not and will never exist

the armata exists

>>28925545

It's as much a pipe dream as the F-35, maybe even less so.

>>28925563
>the armata exists

As a parade piece, so far.

You're just a bitch nigger.

>>28925666
Everyone will be surprised if the T-14 gets produced in notable numbers.

>>28925537
No it doesn't, he has not produced any evidence it is the same, whereas we have every reason to believe it is not.

>>28925561
Setting aside that you have no knowledge of what the Arab export armor consists of besides;

-no DU
-not the same as what Australia uses or what was offered to European countries
-inferior to armor packages used in the 90's

>>28925841

You have not produced any evidence that the basic armor of both tanks is different (not considering DU plates).

>>28918171
Why would they abandon a good tank? They obviously ran away because they would die in the second anything comes close to them

>>28919815
> Sherman Ronson meme

>>28926050
Only poorly trained crews abandon perfectly intact tanks, since they're prone to panic and bail at the first hit regardless of whether it's done any damage or not.

Guess how well trained Arabs tend to be?
