SWISS ARMY 1973 DEFENSE TRAINING: Vintage Film "Performance Standards" (w/ Subtitles)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2021
- This short, but sweet film highlights the application of the "Leistungsnorm 1" or Performance Standard 1 of the Infantry Training Division.
During the 70s, there was an increasing shift to reality-based assessment of training through short depictions of combat. This particular exercise, designed to simulate a typical Warsaw Pact mechanized offense, involves all the main tools at the disposal of the reinforced rifleman squad.
The situation is represented as follows:
- 250m: tanks appear on the crest of the hill. Engage with rocket launchers.
- 200m: tanks and APCs continue their approach. Engage with rocket launchers.
- 70m: APCs approach the position. Engage with rifle grenades.
- 60-70m: infantrymen disembark. Engage with assault rifles.
- 20m: infantrymen approach the firing position. Engage with hand grenades.
All of this to be achieved in 3 minutes!

Special thanks to P. B. and J. J. for the translation help!
In life, you can have bad days, you can have good days - and then you can have days on which Dale uploads a new subtitled training film!
These vids are very educational ❤😊
Quite a recoil with those rifle grenades.
I would love to have seen how many pieces our l85a1 sa80,s would have been in if we had been issued the flying carrots of doom for them !🥴 lol
@@johngreen-sk4yk Rifle grenades probably have been issued with the L1A1 but I'm not sure. They have been in use with the HK G3.
@@franktower9006 the main difference was that the rifle grenades in use in other European armies were shot using normal ammo, these needed a special high power propellant round with a specific magazine that blocked the bolt.
The first day of shooting those grenades, the orange ones being rubber training rounds, usually saw a high percentage of recruits in sick bay.
ATTENTION! Lapin à 100 mètres. Préparez les carottes!
(anyone wonder why Dale has a pet rabbit? ) :)
Excellent. Thank you :)
Another interesting video, at least for this American. Always nice to see angry flying carrots! Please keep posting these, and thank you for posting!
Artillery fires at enemy infantry positions, tanks press against the gaps and, at a safe distance, approach the defense until enemy soldiers can stick their heads out of the trench because of the breaks. The artillery moves the fire forward, the tanks drive into the positions. Following them is the infantry, as soon as it reaches the trench, the tanks leave, the infantry clears the trenches. The armored personnel carriers go behind the infantry and finish off with machine guns those who were missed by the artillerymen and tankers and tries to shoot at the tanks and infantry.
Jolie vidéo
Ah yes, the Swiss flying, exploding carrots.
Deadly Carrots!
J'avais jamais fait attention à la façon dont ils saluait à l'époque. J'imagine que ça a changé avec le FASS 90 et les nouvelles tenues. En tout cas le fusil est porté différemment, j'imagine comme le mousqueton
En 1979 on tenait les pieds séparés comme dans la position de repos actuelle.
En 1980, dans ma ESO, on a dû apprendre la "nouvelle" position du garde-à-vous.
@@Braun30 Merci pour la précision ! C'est le genre de détails qui sont impossibles à connaitre sans parler directement aux bonnes personnes
@@Braun30 en 1980 on a recommencé de claquer les pieds ensemble en attention comme dans les années 50, cétait plus sharp...
@@jurgbangerter1023 Pas exactement, on nous a dit que la difference entre le vieux garde à vous e ce que l’on avait à apprendre en 1980 êtait justement que l’on ne claquait plus les pieds ensemble.
Un like de ma part 🍻
👍
I hadn't even noticed how funky the combat uniform was until Dale mentioned it in his recent episode with the Bloke. Has any other military uniform ever been asked to bear as much of a load as these? As awkward and hot as it looks, I bet it would be nicer than chest rigs and other load carriage of the era if you intended to spend time in a cold climate.
the old Swiss camouflage uniform was complete shit, stayed wet for days, easily catched fire, the pockets also were useless to carry anything...
@@jurgbangerter1023 actually found it good, only thing I hated was the plastic coating, that went as soon you got it from the MatMag.
@@Braun30 the plastic made you sweat like hell in the sommer, and I have a friend who as a kitchen caporal got the wrong kerosene for his cooking burners, so they constantly stopped burning, he cleaned them and got this flammable stuff on this camouflage pants and suddenly was on fire, flames all over his pants, with bad biurns to his legs was flown into the hospital in Sion where he met his future wife a Québecoise Nurse, they are still together now living in Canada, where the fishing is so much better then in Switzerland he told me.
@@jurgbangerter1023 it was better than the Gebirgs outfit in summer.
As for flammability, anything will burn if it's soaked in white petrol.
@@Braun30 you were never with the old camouflage suit in the snow as we did, no the Gebirgs-Outfit was a little better than the Camouflage, also the Raichle Mountain shoes and Gebirgsgamaschen, we had an Austrian Major doing a Gebirgs WK with us, he told the Swiss general staff how miserable our Swiss uniforms were combared to theirs and he was right, Austrian Mountain uniforms already in the 1980's were exceptional modern and extremely well adapted for Alpine climate, we felt shame being Europe's richest country and walking around like Bourbaki soldiers, worst was that you couldn't even use Civilian equipment such as harnesses, crampons and ropes in mountaineering, today they have the most modern equipment possible.

I don't know if the weapon is effective, is it a tandem shape? or just plain explosive
Which weapon? There are many in this clip.
@@DaletheStgwDude euuh, that one who can fly, i mean thr carrot
is this weapon are design to deal with light armored vehicle or they can beat heavy armor too?
@@kakakiri2601 The anti-tank hollow charge rifle grenade is rated for 280-320mm of penetration in rolled homogeneous steel armor! Therefore, it theoretically can damage most armored vehicles in the 60s.
@@DaletheStgwDude thank you for the information, can i get the source of this weapon information? at least an article or website, for reference my weapon knowledge
It’s so much easier when no one is firing back at you...
when somebody is firing at you even only by accident, you go as low as possible...when they use hunting ammunition..you jumb into a creek bed and get the hell out of the firing range as fast as possible..
Which army has people shooting at you in training?
Indonesia amry VS swiss amry iron dome indonesia TNI-AU
WOW reminds me what my cousin’s poor husband had to go through in Swiss Army as a conscript
Regular meals, outdoor activities and best mates. Yea, sounds awfull.
