    The French very often introduced new ways of waging war. Everyone made fun of the AMX 10RC which was a tank on wheels, in the end it was the one which most proved its effectiveness in light combat. They also invented the CAESAR, a rapid wheeled howitzer for maneuver firing. Even their “revised” older generation vehicles compete with the most modern ones because they are very efficient. France is the second largest exporter of military weapons, not for nothing.

      1500years of experience… just to remember that George Washington got France help for the Independance war, and got french military councelors and fighters: Lafayette (Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette ) who was named General at… 19 years old, by G Washington…. (Lafayette names hus son George Washington Lafayette) but also Rochambeau who come with 6000 french but command them like an american army part, and place himself under Washington’s autority. But also « le Comte de Grasse » from the Navy . at the Shesapeare battle for exemple, suprised by the english, he does not take the time to reload all the sailors on board and begins the attack, 1000 sailors stays at ground.. he fked 20 english boats and 7 fregates, he captured 2 fregates. He also helps a lot at Yorktown battle where was also Rochambeau ans Lafayette.

    Regulars of French Battle Order videos may notice that the NCO ranks here are different from the infantry video from 2 months ago : that's because the French army has traditionaly been divided since the monarchy era between "armes de pied" ("corps of foot") and "armes montées" ("corps of horse").
    That means that the infantry, engineering, light army aviation (helicopters) and signal corps as well as the Legion are "foot corps" : they have regular ranks with yellow/gold insignia, are organized into companies and sections etc. the usual
    However the cavalry, logistics, materiel corps as well as the gendarmerie are considered "horse corps", with different rank names reminiscent of old times cavalry (brigadier, maréchal des logis), white/silver insignia, are organized into squadrons and platoons, have smaller square-shaped standards rather than big rectangular flags, and many other differences in terms of terminology, appearance and traditions.
    The artillery corps is technicaly "horse" (since canons used to be horse-drawn, same reason why logistics and materiel are "horse") and shares some stuff with the other "horse" corps, but they have "foot" style ranks and some artillery-specific terms, like batteries instead of squadrons or companies. The Chasseurs (light, mountain and parachute infantry) are the reverse : they are infantry and thus "foot" but have "horse" ranks, because they were originaly mixed skirmishing units with both infantry and cavalry.

    • @louisgangloff
      @louisgangloff 2 месяца назад +29

      Everything you say is right except a little think, there is two criterias : in one hand the "armes à pieds" use the terms "sergent" et "caporal", the "armes montées" use "maréchal des logis" et "brigadier" ; and in other hand the heavy units use yellow galons, the light units use white galons. That explain why chasseur use white galons with "sergent" ... *in most cases* because we love exceptions to the rules in France.

      Fun bit, the gendarmerie use yellow ranks for it's riot unit and the republican guard. And because nothing can be simple:
      -adjudant are using the oposite color or their corps, chief adjudant use the right color. Good luck sorting them out once in a army that use both ranks.
      -the trick is to look at the colors of the grenade on the shoulder ranks. If they match, it's a chief adjudant, if not, it's an adjudant.
      -there are actually two sub division of the gendarmerie that doesn't wear the grenade on the shoulder insigna
      -pretty much no one use shoulder rank insigna and instead favor a chest velcro patch rank, which is simplified
      -the single chevron NCO rank which is used as a cadet NCO in the rest of the army is used as a full fledged rank for NCO with less than four years of service
      -one single chevron or two chevron indicate not a maréchal des logis, but a gendarme.
      -however, if a gendarme has white ranks insigna and grenade on the shoulder, then it mean they are part of the support corps and thus are maréchal des logis
      -if a gendarme has a single white chevron but on a blue shoulder rank insigna, he is a maréchal des logis, but not an NCO, since he is actually a deputy gendarme, so a rank and file, but the highest of them.
      -remember that no one use the shoulder rank insigna and use the chest velcro. There is litteraly no way to distinguish an NCO with a single chevron from deputy gendarme maréchal des logis with a single chevron.
      -There is finally a raging debate about how the chief brigadier rank is supposed to be worn on the chest velcro. Blue-blue-white or white-blue-blue.
      Finally, the legion use green chevron for it's private and corporal ranks.

    The Jaguar armament is top notch IMO. The 40mm CTA cannon is very flexible since it can shoot programmable ammo and makes it capable of facing infantry, drones, small structures and light vehicles, whil you can still us APFSDS for medium AFVs. The akeron is a terryfing anti tank missile and to be hones pairing it with a drone means that you could win a battle against two MBTs without ever entering their line of sight. In oother words you can do a bit of everything.

      As we have seen in Ukraine - an autocannon can deal serious damage even to a MBT.
      It might not destroy it totally and kill the crew - but without sensors, optics or radios - a modern MBT isn't much more than a very, very heavy paperweight.
      And that Bradley Bushmaster in Ukraine was "only" 25mm. 40mm is a whole different ball game - with significantly bigger payload.

      It kinda feels like they took the idea of the M3A2 Bradley CFV, removed the dismount capacity, made it french (trackless and lower armor. Not actually lighter funnily enough) and put every possible modern sensor in it.
      A potent autocannon, combined with a good ATGM. But with all the sensor capabilities of the modern day and a ridiculously high top speed. The perfect evolution of the armored recon concept.
      Also the return of the cannon-missile pairing in the french army. Took us long enough

    In the Canadian Army, warrant officers would not be sergeants major. They are not senior sergeants, but senior NCO's. They would be troop warrant officers in the armoured corps, platoon warrant officers in the infantry, and squadron warrants in the artillery. Master warrant officers (MWO) are typically company sergeants major (CSM) in the infantry, and squadron sergeants major (SSM) in the armoured corps, the artillery and engineers.

    And due to each wheel being independent huge clearance off the ground. And off course full scorpion integration.
    They got 2 prototypes racing for the contract, they each have different thing like the one that can straff has no atgm ect, reguardless french love thier jeeps for everything from scouting to escorts , they’ll stick them in everything, they also have your expectations of high intensity armor and mine resistance.
