Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel US Military Target.
Tooday we will talk about hot news about 10 Badass Military Vehicles You Never Knew Existed.
Before watching the video, please like, comment, and subscribe my channel.
Countries, especially the ones with the resources to do so, are constantly seeking ways to gain
an advantage with the array of military vehicles they field.
Advanced economies like the United States, Russia, Britain, and Israel spend billions
of dollars each year to develop cutting edge military vehicles; some of which are so futuristic
that it's hard to imagine they already exist today.
Some of these vehicles stand out with their unusual design and weaponry.
For others, it's their ability to avoid detection on the battlefield that makes them unique.
Then there are the ones that boast a combination of all these factors emerging as the badass
kings of the battlefield.

JLTV JLTV or Joint Light Tactical Vehicle is a
military vehicle designed to operate in all kinds of difficult terrain.
It is bigger and stronger than the traditional Humvee which makes it highly more versatile.
The entire cabin is wrapped in an armored shell and comes equipped with blast protected
seats for the occupants.
The JLTV can also be fitted with heavy machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and an
anti tank missile launcher; transforming it into a formidable offensive weapon when needed.

CV90120T Ghost This Swedish medium battle tank utilizes the
hull of the already accomplished CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV).
However, it does have a neat party trick that puts its right on the edge of modern military
technology an adaptive camouflage system.This insane tech, aptly named ADAPTIV, is so clever
that it can make the tank invisible to hostile thermal imaging systems.
Now, the name Ghost makes a whole lot of sense.
It's not only about defense too; the tank packs a fearsome high caliber 120millimeter
compact main cannon for offensive operations.
8.
Mantis Armored Vehicle At first glance, this chunky vehicle looks
more like a space buggy and not what one can encounter on the battlefield.
However, the Mantis is a very capable fighting machine conceived for the Israeli Defence
Force.
It can carry up to 8 combat personnel and is highly configurable to suit a wide range
of frontline roles.
The Mantis also boasts several layers of lightweight protective layers to shield its occupants
from kinetic, explosive, nuclear, and biochemical threats.
There's a turret mounted up top that can be fitted with a machine gun, mortar, or even
a missile launcher. 7.
Jahanam Launcher The full name of this awesome military machine
will most likely send your head into a spin.
The Jobaria Defense Systems Multiple Cradle Launcher is thought to be the largest rocket
artillery by tube count.
It is a formidable launch platform that has the ability to unleash up to 240 rockets on
enemy positions, at the rate of 2 per second.
The Jahanam Launcher is the brainchild of the UAE army who came up with an ingenious
way to reduce the number of military personnel needed to operate its artillery systems.
It only needs a crew of 3 to operate and launch the rockets.
Rearming is carried out by a separate support vehicle that can finish the task in as little
as 30 minutes.
6.
Arquus Scarabee The Scarabee is a light armored vehicle that's
primarily designed for reconnaissance, scouting, and support roles.
It was almost entirely developed in France and has been billed as the world's first truly
hybrid armored military vehicle.
The vehicle's party trick is a clever rear wheel independent steering system that allows
the Scarabee to maneuver in tight spaces.
The rear axle can be kept parallel to the front one in a turn, allowing the car to move
simultaneously forward and sideways like a crab.
Did someone remember the GMC Hummer EV?
5.
Carmel Street Fighting Tank As far as military technology is concerned,
the Israelis are usually at the forefront of cutting edge development and the Carmel
battle tank is no different.
After years of secrecy and rumors, the tank was finally unveiled to the public in 2019.
The development of the tank was inspired by the country's experiences during the 2014
Gaza conflict where heavy battle tanks had challenges navigating narrow streets.
The tank is manned but most of its operations are executed by Artificial Intelligence.
The coolest fact?
It's mostly controlled by a simple X Box like controller.
4.
USS Zumwalt This imposing structure, the USS Zumwalt,
is the first of the Zumwalt Class Destroyers; naval vehicles that give a glimpse of how
the future of naval warfare could look like.
It was delivered to the US Navy in May 2016 features a strange tumblehome hull design
which is more for functional than aesthetic reasons.
That unique design significantly cuts down the radar cross section of the ship, making
it much harder to detect on radar tracking systems.
The vessel can be configured with a large range of weapons for both defensive and offensive
missions.
3.
Cougar 6 by 6 Lessons learned from IED challenges faced
by troops in Iraq and Afghanistan led to the development of this armored behemoth.
The Cougar features a unique V shaped hull that's specifically designed to help deflect
the force of an explosion away from the vehicle.
It is available in different variations but the 6 by 6 looks particularly formidable.
It serves as a very useful troop transport platform in combat situations where its armored
frame can mean the difference between life and death.
2.
Panhard CRAB Here, CRAB is short for Combat Reconnaissance
Armoured Buggy and it provides an insight into the role performed by the hardy vehicle
in combat operations.
There's enough armor to provide all round protection against up to 7.62millimeter rounds
and artillery splinters.
The CRAB is not entirely defenseless too and can fight back with machine guns, anti tank
missiles, or automatic grenade launchers depending on how it's equipped.
Even better, it can be operated remotely for incursions into enemy territory.
1.
Zil Punisher This unusual vehicle was developed in Russia
and is generally deployed as a lightweight troop carrier.
Lightweight does not mean unprotected and the vehicle actually packs enough armor to
shield its occupants from mines and bullets.
The Zil Punisher is big enough to carry a squad of 10 combat loaded soldiers.
It is powered by a potent 8 cylinder turbo Diesel engine that cranks out 730 hp.
That power is enough for a 93 mph top speed, making this one of the fastest armored personnel
carriers ever made.
