I think the fighting in Ukraine has exposed some of the weaknesses in the BMP design lol. Not that Ukrainian Bradleys and M113's aren't getting taken out too, but the Russians have serious coordination problems and its most easily visible in the amount of armor they lose.

Man. You better hope lazerpig doesn't get a hold of this episode.

I went over the bonus episodes ten damn times looking for the Bradley fight vehicle ep after seeing the preview on youtube only to realize it was this one. 11/10 thumbnail, you got me good.

My grandfather tried to convince the military to electrify the Bradley as a Diesel-electric hybrid in 1999.

Roz basically invented a military rumba in this episode. The autopilot Bradley goes out, hits an enemy position, turns around, gets stuck on the rug...

I agree with Laetitia, it's been multiple months now?? I'd understand if it was free and you just couldn't get to it, but its not and you can judging by your social feeds.

Hey I just joined and I am very stupid is there an RSS feed for the bonus content?

Hey, I just wanted to say I am sorry, I joined last month with a $2 membership but ran out of money a few dys before Patreon tried to charge my card. I rejoined with a $5 membership to make up for this.

Unrelated to video... I have a Shake Hands With Danger Club Edit in the works

How much does the Patreon app suck?

Apparently the Australian Defence Force has put the Tesla autopilot in some 113s. Robot APCs mad maxing around the desert...

Having grown up a few blocks from the radioactive dirt piles of Middlesex, NJ (worst origin story), I’d love an episode on various ways the US has failed to contain/dispose of its various spicy materials.

For the news, how about https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/03/florida-emergency-piney-point-phosphate-plant-pond-leak-radioactive-flood-ron-desantis

Please do an episode about the F-35. Mostly because it would make plane guys really mad.

please do an episode about the New Carissa, the ship that crashed on the Oregon shore, was towed out to sea, and then *came back* like a B horror movie villain.

Are you ok? It’s been a while since we heard from you

Fun thing about the M113, when it inevitably catches on fire, the roof just melts off. And boom now your M113 is a convertible.

that propaganda pic of the Marines coming off that landing craft reminded me of a time Top Gear used a Ford Fiesta for a beach landing as part of a joke review segment. The smoke grenades fit perfectly in the cup holders!

Alice is absolutely glowing in this episode. Love to see it

I chuckled when I heard the BAE plant in York mentioned. I can literally see the plant from my back yard. I see the bare chassis on flatbeds all the time.

M3 Bradleys took out more Iraqi tanks than the M1 Abrams in the Gulf War.

subscribed to the patreon just to get another episode with you guys and what a hell of a way to die

So seeing as that you've trashed the Bradley, what about the SGT York then for another failure?

Is the Warthog a technical?

The Chapo Traphouse of Saud bout' to commit some war crimes in Yemen

The APMV looks more like a tank that would appear in a Gorillaz music video or something than an actual vehicle. Command and Conquer unit lookin' piece of shit.

The wikipedia entry on the M28 buried the lead a bit. The army managed to lose the largest tank ever adopted in a open field.

Babchenko's book on Chechnya is called "One Soldier's war" if anyone's interested in how dog meat and dedovshchina combine to make being a Russian soldier in the 1990s suck ass.

Australia put turrets with either twin 30 cals , a 50 and a 30 or we put Saladin and scorpion turrets on our 113s

Off-topic question (before I listen to the episode): how do I tell whether Alice hasn't sent me my PSS card because (a) she's overwhelmed with requests or (b) I'm a bad commenter and she hates me? I hope it isn't the latter! (I think this is what they call parasocial paranoia.)

I watched the Humvee airdrop fail and I swear there is a guy who sounds exactly like Francis in it

Richmond tank guy finally ran out of gas 3 blocks from my old apartment. A very fun night

Desperately awaiting the horse disaster episode

Combine the bicycle and paratrooper sections and you get that BSA folding bicycle from WWII

I love how y'all put a green chapo logo on the saudi bradleys.

getting the youtube ad out before the episode itself is when you become a proletarian podcaster

I would subscribe to "Well, there's your hell of a way to Problem"

I loved hearing Liam rail on the hipster breweries in Richmond, I’m glad we’re known for something.

I remember a nice sunny day in Ft. Hood, changing track only to be told at the end of the day that we put it on the wrong Brad....

Lol noticed the logo on the Saudi Bradleys.

FUUUUUUCK the Bradley

If I pay an extra ten bucks can I please have a way to listen or watch on anything but the patreon page which stops playback if you go to any other tab or app on mobile?

It's raining.

I had an old product manager who was in the National Guard during the first Iraq war. It ended before he deployed, but he did do some wargames ahead of that and said he had a pretty good time in the Abrams, but the infantry got pretty disheartened because all they did was sit in the Bradleys and get told they had died.

Dragoon in ffxiv is fucking awesome. You get to channel the power of a dragon while murdering shit with your lance.

You should do another episode on the ASV. I was a mechanic in the US Army and one of the first groups to go to training on this vehicle when it was introduced. Part of this training included a warning that under heavy braking, the roof hatch latches could fail when the hatch was in the open position causing a several hundred pound metal door to slam into the back of the driver's and/or passenger's head/neck potentially killing them. I have many stories on this and other military vehicles if you are interested.

Omar N Bradley: victim of uninformed power-mad pub quizmaster.

"We can't force more Abrams on the world, so we'll just replace them with this"

If I remember right, the German half track were what you think, basically tank tread with wheels out front for gentle curves. They operate on their own like a tanks. They’d work without those wheels. Us Americans thought that looked cool... so we just made the back wheels of a truck longer and flatter. The tracks are effectively just that, spun by the axle of what would’ve been the back wheels

Yay Liam!

I don't know where, but I heard that they feel the Bradley doesn't have enough firepower for the modern day, so they're gonna swap out the 25mm for a 57mm

Wouldn't climate change mean that we'd have less coastlines, not more?

There was at least a pentagon wars reference. :^)

I really like these military boondoggles. Like the episodes. I can't wait for the F-35 episode that's 3 hours long.

If you ever want to experience what it is like being a civilian working on a military contract. Just imagine building something for group of cats.... All of which like to take infighting to the Nth degree... All of which have different ideas on what the thing should look like and do... and ONE cat who likes to knock over your coffee cup onto the "as build" drawings...while screaming “I don’t like it Start again”.

the episodes r getting short

argh. why won't the embedded video play. stupid phone

a bigpeeler reference good lord

I just finished watching RLM's episode on the disappointment that was STTNG's Season 1. Might as well be see the disappointment that was the Bradley.

Yayyy

Yay Liam

The Technokings and Technoqueen have delivered.

Yay Liam

Military spending go brrrr

Eyy, time to drag the Bradley like the utter mess it is! P.S. idk, is the FV510 Warrior also a mess or does it actually work?

I’m ready for the pentagon wars memes and if there isn’t I’m gunna be frowny face.

Oh boy oh man what a good Monday

Yay finally uploaded

APPEASE THE HOGS!
