"There are some things that Puma does better than T-15" - I guess the main advantage here is that, contrary to the T-15, the Puma IFV does actually exist in deployable numbers and is not vaporware.
@@PugilistCactus The Puma's raw speed on on roads is higher, but large tanks like the Leopard 2 are usually faster on rough terrain due to the tracks being bigger. They have more stability and roll easier over the rough stuff. That's why the Puma's mobility is impressive , it's because it can also go over rough stuff as fast as the large tanks.
The puma hits a target in 3 km during driving full speed ……. It has a communication system on board so the driver sees everything that the infantry around him. This is the most advanced machine in this class. The newest and best.
@@EreVR-jp8dd The Jaguar is mainly a reconaissance vehicle. They are not in the same class with the Puma. But yes, the reconnaisance of the Jaguar is also state of the art.
Yes I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry as he said the T-15 would be superior like as the Su-34 is superior to the F-35 right ? 🤣 Well at least the Puma EXISTS and the Bundeswehr got 300 combat ready at any time.
Hi RedEffect there's one thing I would like to point out: engine torque doesn't matter. I don't blame you for making the mistake that more 'torquey' engine is better: it is popularized by car journalists who tend to know little about how cars work, and car makers advertise this figure fully knowing it's BS. What really determines how fast a vehicle accelerates or how much load it pulls is torque at the output axis: the tyre or drive sprocket. And this torque is engine torque multiplied by gear ratio and final drive ratio minus drivetrain loss. This means an engine with less torque can make up the deficit by using shorter gear ratios, but that also means they need more engine rpm to make up for the higher reduction which they tend to do. What's unique about Puma's engine is that it's unusually high revving for a military vehicle, in fact it's higher revving than many passenger cars. The design philosophy is to maximize specific power (kW/L) and power density (kW/kg), so the power pack can be more compact, weighs less, and consumes less fuel (fewer friction/heat loss). Instead the real problem here is not it has less torque than the Armata or any other military vehicle. It's that higher power density designs tend to have more stress and possibly more maintenance. This is the true reason pickup trucks and large SUVs use big 'torquey' V8 engines instead of a small screaming I4; the same applies to military vehicles too. I don't know how reliable Puma's engine is though, since reliability depends on many factors.
finaly someone who understand mechanics, also with more torque and unskilled crew there is greater chance of braking transmission. it is cheaper to produce it like this and I think it is safer to use it :D
@@PugilistCactus Not really, if the transmission is any good. You could go up steep inclines in much heavier vehicles with less powerful engines and less sophisticated transmissions 80 years ago.
@@PugilistCactus not necessarily. The transmission does it's job and the engine has a more flexible RPM range than most vehicles. If you need to climb a steep hil just shift down a gear or two and drive with a higher RPM. The Puma can do this due to its flexibility. Most other vehicles use truck like engines that don't vary a whole lot in their RPM range.
Der Kernspalter the KF31 was... it was a proof of concept and based on the Marder... the KF41 is it’s own vehicle... both the Lynx and Puma use the MK30 weapon system but the Lynx has a manned turret
Hah- NO! It doesn't look "badass"! xD On the contrary - its hull looks fat and overweight with a horrid cartoonish grid on the turret instead of a normal cannon mantlet... So sorry but Puma is one of the most visually repellent one, out of modern IFVs... And not to mention that it's so overcomplicated flawed that it - can't be even certified for active service...
It's hard to estimate the real price tag on the T15 since it won't be exported any time soon and things in Russia work very differently than in Germany.
Things the Puma can do better than the T-15: drive, being deployed, not being basically a paper tank, being more than a inventory statistic/meintion in the arsenal. And many more, but no need to beat a dead horse...
This newest cornet i last test on tiger will be on atlet because russia will produce atlet instead of tiger, cornet i meantion is on the link and that cornet destroy from 90deegres to and they called it sniper cornet, at last this cornet will be installed on t14armata ruclips.net/video/Q5ynLv2jKq0/видео.html
2:35 wow! I always wondered how some auto cannons can be "duel feed" and swap between different cartridges on the fly, so it's an open bolt. I've learned something new today 😁
open bolt systems make maintenance and cleaning a lot easier as well, as long as you have a proper safety... that's a big problem for open bolt designs, like many german MGs, as the MG3, you have no real safety, as you can't lock the bolt when it's not opened, but an open bolt is the fire ready position
also generally open bolt systems aren't as precise as closed bolt systems but thats for machineguns rather than auto cannons since these are able to reliably fight threats at 3000 meters
The budged of the german military is more than adequate. Look where it stands in the world, relative to soldiers fielded. We could accomplish so much if we downsized bureaucracy and stopped throwing the money out the window, having corruption scandals and having shitty ministers of defense back to back for decades.
@ What you mean is a warmongering budget. There is a distinct difference. All three of these nations cripple their civil progress for excessive military spending. Look at how much money Germoney spends for each active soldier, then compare it to countries within a margin of reason, like France, the UK etc. Lack of funding is not our problem.
Wobbegong its warmongering if you are the top spender. Germany’s position as the shield of europe means it SHOULD invest more for the security of the EU
7:15 in real combat the units deployed by a puma would carry Anti-tank weapons and adapt their loadout to the situation (offense, defense etc. A.e. in defense the team also has one engineer to erect barricades) keeping them versatile.
So these aren't German soldier it looks like American What I miss in the video is that the puma isn't there to be used against tanks but to support the soldiers against light armour vehicles and personnel the units deployed by the puma have good enough anto tank weapons to destroy tanks
the firstt time i ever watched red effect, when he said fire control system i thought it meant when the engines caught on fire and it needs to be extinguished. im dumb
Me, a soldier who just wants to know what some guy on youtube has to say about our Puma: *clicks on video* Video: *plays German National Anthem* Me: *suddenly stands at attention saluting*
@Denis This is mainly because the Puma has more technology in it than the Leopard. The ATGM modules for example, and the laser sensors, and keeping compatibility with all of that means you have to keep all the systems in. Of course you could just take away the turret of a tank and reduce its armor, put the engine at the front and make an APC out of it. This is essentially what the M113 is. But the M113 does not have all the features that the Puma has. No real scouting ability, no ATGM, no 30mm gun, no protection system, no composite armor.
This IFV video series should go on. I would love to see about the BMP-3, the swedish CV-90 and Bradley. Actually, the T-15 beats the Puma with it's ATGM system, where both Commander & gunner can fire two missiles at the same time and slightly with front hull protection. The amount of tourque is rather trivial as long as it fits into the combined arms role. Which is the case with the newer Leopard 2 models, as the MBTs got heavier all along. When the Puma was developed/designed, this was a "must have requirement" for the engineers from the beginning. Edit: I think the video was a little bit too quiet this time, I had to increase volume pretty hard.
The dual fire ATGM's of the T-15 is an awesome system but if the missile can't see the target or gets jammed (due to MUSS) it wont help too much. But I guess it is not much different for the T-15 since it has an APS so both will have trouble hitting each other with ATGM's.
the weazel is also quite nice as you can stuf 2 of em in a helicopter and paradrop them are fast and can even be used in the dessert because of it's relative low weight. also has a lot of optional upgrades as antitank systems and mortars.
So in other words the Puma is an actual fighting vehicle in use by an armed force rather than a technological demonstrator used for propaganda like T-15 IFV.
Nah, they are Russian made. Most likely overcrowded with problems, even the PUMA still has, and tons more. The Russians are currently not able to surpass any western powers regarding military technology. That should not sound racist in any way, but it is an dictatorship/"communism". Everyone is corrupt and the production highly depends on bribe money and persons in charge. Complicated, highly advanced technology is nothing Russia knows something about or can produce on a greater scale, simply put. That is the main reason they still use realiable but totally outdated T-72s, T-80s (even as BVM) and T-90s. Their MBTs are as heavy as German specialised IFV (the PUMA is much more than "only" an IFV). In Ukraine, you see the full problem of Russian military: Not enough planning and bribe money. Catastrophic planning, basically no logistic making thousands of armored vehicles heavy road blocks and a troop morale that cannot even be strengthened by Russian generals - of which they have lost almost a fifth total. Believe me or not, Russia or more likely Putin, has totally overrated its own military.
This was really comprehensive and informative with tecnical data that make sense. The narrater speak in such a way that one can follow exactly what is meant to say. No warm patato in the mouth accent and the video clip shows exactly what is under discussion. No B.S and rethoric nonsense. Very professional. Thanx so much.
Vehicles like the T14-15 need to be considered technology demonstrators / prototypes and not combat vehicles, because they're not in production and AFAIK not deployed to combat units.
Amazing audio. It makes all the people requesting footage speak with the same voice. That's like one of those space age translators you see on the late night infomercials. Amazing by any standard.
Just a little addition concerning the pumas protection. In its combat configuration passive armor at the front, the sides and the turret provides protection against 30mm. In the back there is still armor against 14,5mm. Additionally there is 360° RPG protection (CLARA-ERA at the front and sides and cage armor at the back) and roof protection against artillery bomblets.
Why puma IFV has no competition *Forgets about the OP Arjun and its trick shot capabilities and how the Arjun multi purpose tank crew have to go through extensive World of tanks training and Call of Duty no scope championships in Search and destroy on MW2 and not MW3 because they dont like that one* EDIT: I forgive you this time Red lol jk good video as always
The T-15 isn't the best IFV because it is WAY to heavy and large, plus I'm willing to guess they cost a lot compared to most other IFVs. The T-15 is as big/heavy as some modern MBTs. So now crossing bridges and transporting the T-15 is going to be a a huge issue when compared to other IFVs.
The Puma with it's latest configuration and armor setup is still significantly lighter than the T-15 in it's base setup. It doesn't require that much power. It's also an easier overall build, which is less prone to issues, and weighing cost, efficiency and production, on the long run the Puma is a far more profitable long term investment than the T-15.
The T-15 isn't even a thing, honestly i don't understand how RedEffect could ever believe that it was a serious program. The entire armata program has been clearly dead since at least 2018-2019. I mean they didn't have enough money to upgrade the T-90 to T-90M and stated that it was unnecessary to upgrade the T-90 because the T-72B3M was good enough
Germany did it again ,another wonderfully designed wat machine. And it's beautiful ,that is a plus and it never hurts ,right? Respect from France ,our German allies really know how to make great peaces of equipment ,they always knew and always will , that's in their blood i guess 🇲🇫🇩🇪✊ Great video as always ,keep going like that it's perfect.
@@uteriel282 the Leclerc MBT is not the best but not the worst either ,it have been upgraded and is pretty capable so I'm good thank you .plus I don't have any room left in my garage ,I couldn't fit a leopard if I wanted to lol.
so last year I saw an autocanon on a truck on the way to a test, didn't recognize it but this is it, it was the PUMA's autocanon, apperently they want to upgrade our APCs to IFVs with this.
Puma has one absolute no-go problem: Its electronics sux more than hard! It crashes in the middle of operation without any reason, and it takes an hard reset by pulling the main fuses to reset the system, which could easily take more than 10 minutes...
I just love the comedically tiny barrel inside of the giant outer barrel cage or whatever you want to call it. Also this thing is the goat in War Thunder, absolutly love it.
I have seen an interview with an engineer of IBD Deisenroth who sad that the protection system of the Puma holds 14,5mm rounds all around and with the Modular AMAP-B pack front and sides can hold up to 30mm rounds and more So he implies that there is a class higher protection but wasn't allowed to say more
@@moritz6056 sry mate I don't have the footage(or a link) but is was German so if u could find it pls put a link below But i think it is logical that these ammor cann hold more than 30mm caliber rounds (look at the wight and materials used, and now look at the leopard 2 in size and weight bough vehicles a not to fare apart (Leo has more weight but also a bigger and heavyer gun) so I would estimate that the frontal armor could withstand at least a 50mm or 57mm round)
Germany tested the CV90 in 2002. It was rejected because of insufficient mine protection, bad weight-protection ratio and low growth potential. They went on developing the Puma afterwards.
@@scheisseaufpasswort I disagree. While the continuously changing and from the start very demanding requirements indeed delayed the program and increased its cost the end result is the safest IFV in service. There were some far worse AFV development processes that ended in nothing.
One of your only videos that I TOTALLY agree with... Except for the Nammer, and the Brand new Wheel version (of the Nammer called the Eitan). Israel’s own version comes standard with an unmanned 30mm turret and the trophy anti Anti-Tank Missile System built right into the turret from the start. But it’s that 35m monster that I love!!! 5mm doesn’t sound like a lot, but it increases the projectile’s weight from about 300-320 grams to ~550 grams. With a barrel that’s 90 or 95 calibers long!!!! [That’s 3.325 meters]
Over all a good video but i have to mention that you mixed two different variants. Mostly you spoke about the serial puma for the german army with a vehiclecount of (when all are ready) 340. But sometimes you talked and showed specs from the upgraded version called vjtf. When you talked about the great camera coverage you showed a picture of the camerapositions from the vjtf. I build the Puma and some of the footage was filmed at my workplace
@@komradearti9935 that has more to do with cost and politics rather than the performance of the vehicle. CV-90 is a far more capable system than Puma because of all the different variants BAE offers to fit different nations needs.
@@markschoning5581 I never said it wasnt. However the biggest selling factor of the Lynx and AS21 is cost. They are almost 1-2 million USD less than CV-90. But again number of adopters isnt necessarily indicative of quality or being the best
Nick Graham But you said, that cost were an issue, why the CV-90 was not succesful in the respective bids. But as I said, the Puma is by far the most expensive IFV on this Planet! Far more expensive as the Lynx aswell.
*I just don't understand the hate behind this vehicle, especially on German videos about, well, their very own military in general!* Most of these people have probably never even done basic training, nor ever been in an Armored fighting vehicle or ever fired a gun. The Puma in itself is a very potent and promising IFV, very much up to date and equipped with the latest possible technology, with more to come for it. The crews who actually operate it (and not he Internet haters) are very, very happy with their new IFV, and KMW and Rheinmetall have done a fantastic job to implement most of the (ex-) Marder crews ideas and expertise. Of course it's not perfect and still has it's little flaws, but what new Military tech has ever been flawless on its introduction?! Think about the years of development the M1 Abrams had to go through, look at the T-14 Armata etc. Honestly, my respect for the Engineers and the German military in general that they still managed to pull something like this vehicle off, especially when looking at their budged and how much their own government holds them back with funding. In the end, it's always about money
Hey could you do like top 20 best tanks in the world cause you are the only channel which uses real information and not just emotions when talking about tanks
Puma certainly has competition. It's all about the specifications of the buyer. If you want a very expensive IFV with high armour that only transports 6 infantry to the field, then go ahead. But if you want cheaper options that transport 8 infantry, has a bigger gun and is smaller and easier to navigate through heavy terrain, you can buy a CV90 for example. You want defense, you buy a Puma. You want logistics, you buy a CV90.

There is literally a dragrace between an abrams, Bradley, Fuchs and a puma. 🥇Fuchs🥈Puma🥉Abrams and Last the Bradley
This IFV video series should go on. I would love to see about the BMP-3, the swedish CV-90 and Bradley.
Actually, the T-15 beats the Puma with it's ATGM system, where both Commander & gunner can fire two missiles at the same time and slightly with front hull protection. The amount of tourque is rather trivial as long as it fits into the combined arms role. Which is the case with the newer Leopard 2 models, as the MBTs got heavier all along. When the Puma was developed/designed, this was a "must have requirement" for the engineers from the beginning.
Edit: I think the video was a little bit too quiet this time, I had to increase volume pretty hard.
I think the Puma wins actually as.....its in service.
The dual fire ATGM's of the T-15 is an awesome system but if the missile can't see the target or gets jammed (due to MUSS) it wont help too much. But I guess it is not much different for the T-15 since it has an APS so both will have trouble hitting each other with ATGM's.

Make a video of the Swedish CV90 (STRF90)
Before this video the only thing I really knew about the Puma was that it's absolutely OP in War Thunder.
I have shares from Rheinmetall. From the war they gained 85%. This shows how many countries even the US trust in these weapons.
Next could be cv 90
i ve to disagree with the torque comparison, horse power is horse power. the Puma has an high rpm engine which allows it to use a different gearing.
So in other words the Puma is an actual fighting vehicle in use by an armed force rather than a technological demonstrator used for propaganda like T-15 IFV.
T 15 is a propaganda machine, ok brainlet
The Problem with T14/15 is that they are so expensive in production, hence why they are only build in small numbers
Nah, they are Russian made. Most likely overcrowded with problems, even the PUMA still has, and tons more. The Russians are currently not able to surpass any western powers regarding military technology. That should not sound racist in any way, but it is an dictatorship/"communism". Everyone is corrupt and the production highly depends on bribe money and persons in charge. Complicated, highly advanced technology is nothing Russia knows something about or can produce on a greater scale, simply put. That is the main reason they still use realiable but totally outdated T-72s, T-80s (even as BVM) and T-90s. Their MBTs are as heavy as German specialised IFV (the PUMA is much more than "only" an IFV).
In Ukraine, you see the full problem of Russian military: Not enough planning and bribe money. Catastrophic planning, basically no logistic making thousands of armored vehicles heavy road blocks and a troop morale that cannot even be strengthened by Russian generals - of which they have lost almost a fifth total.
Believe me or not, Russia or more likely Putin, has totally overrated its own military.

This was really comprehensive and informative with tecnical data that make sense. The narrater speak in such a way that one can follow exactly what is meant to say. No warm patato in the mouth accent and the video clip shows exactly what is under discussion. No B.S and rethoric nonsense. Very professional. Thanx so much.
Vehicles like the T14-15 need to be considered technology demonstrators / prototypes and not combat vehicles, because they're not in production and AFAIK not deployed to combat units.
Yes we see in Ukraine... They are just Show models for Putin... But the Puma is real
Amazing audio. It makes all the people requesting footage speak with the same voice. That's like one of those space age translators you see on the late night infomercials. Amazing by any standard.
5:44 Puma gun laughs at camera (smiley face). :D
Just a little addition concerning the pumas protection. In its combat configuration passive armor at the front, the sides and the turret provides protection against 30mm. In the back there is still armor against 14,5mm. Additionally there is 360° RPG protection (CLARA-ERA at the front and sides and cage armor at the back) and roof protection against artillery bomblets.

@@MrTangolizard by just watching a biased video you can't tell everything about a tank
The T-15 isn't the best IFV because it is WAY to heavy and large, plus I'm willing to guess they cost a lot compared to most other IFVs. The T-15 is as big/heavy as some modern MBTs. So now crossing bridges and transporting the T-15 is going to be a a huge issue when compared to other IFVs.
It also doesn't exist so that is a big -
The Puma with it's latest configuration and armor setup is still significantly lighter than the T-15 in it's base setup. It doesn't require that much power. It's also an easier overall build, which is less prone to issues, and weighing cost, efficiency and production, on the long run the Puma is a far more profitable long term investment than the T-15.
The T-15 isn't even a thing, honestly i don't understand how RedEffect could ever believe that it was a serious program. The entire armata program has been clearly dead since at least 2018-2019. I mean they didn't have enough money to upgrade the T-90 to T-90M and stated that it was unnecessary to upgrade the T-90 because the T-72B3M was good enough
Do the CV-90 IFV next please
Surely with the CV90-120 model

Nice, although I think that the Lynx has more potential thanks to its modular approach, so it depends on how much the customer is willing to expend.

Could you do a video about Swedish tanks and IFVs?
I have seen an interview with an engineer of IBD Deisenroth who sad that the protection system of the Puma holds 14,5mm rounds all around and with the Modular AMAP-B pack front and sides can hold up to 30mm rounds and more
So he implies that there is a class higher protection but wasn't allowed to say more
source?
@@moritz6056 sry mate I don't have the footage(or a link) but is was German so if u could find it pls put a link below
But i think it is logical that these ammor cann hold more than 30mm caliber rounds (look at the wight and materials used, and now look at the leopard 2 in size and weight bough vehicles a not to fare apart (Leo has more weight but also a bigger and heavyer gun) so I would estimate that the frontal armor could withstand at least a 50mm or 57mm round)
You should do the CV90 next
and now war thunder is getting Puma IFV
I think the swedish Cv90 can Compete with the puma! :D
it would outcompete the puma. the puma has many many technical problems is not really any combat ready. I know people who served on these.
Germany tested the CV90 in 2002. It was rejected because of insufficient mine protection, bad weight-protection ratio and low growth potential. They went on developing the Puma afterwards.
@@jonny2954 and the development was a total desaster
@@scheisseaufpasswort I disagree. While the continuously changing and from the start very demanding requirements indeed delayed the program and increased its cost the end result is the safest IFV in service. There were some far worse AFV development processes that ended in nothing.
One of your only videos that I TOTALLY agree with...
Except for the Nammer, and the Brand new Wheel version (of the Nammer called the Eitan).
Israel’s own version comes standard with an unmanned 30mm turret and the trophy anti Anti-Tank Missile System built right into the turret from the start.
But it’s that 35m monster that I love!!! 5mm doesn’t sound like a lot, but it increases the projectile’s weight from about 300-320 grams to ~550 grams. With a barrel that’s 90 or 95 calibers long!!!! [That’s 3.325 meters]
5:49 look at that smiling face
Over all a good video but i have to mention that you mixed two different variants. Mostly you spoke about the serial puma for the german army with a vehiclecount of (when all are ready) 340. But sometimes you talked and showed specs from the upgraded version called vjtf. When you talked about the great camera coverage you showed a picture of the camerapositions from the vjtf. I build the Puma and some of the footage was filmed at my workplace
Awesome video. Can you please do a video on Sweden's Combat Vehicle 90 some time? It looks so sexy.

@@komradearti9935 that has more to do with cost and politics rather than the performance of the vehicle. CV-90 is a far more capable system than Puma because of all the different variants BAE offers to fit different nations needs.

The Puma is far more expensive than any variant of the CV-90 series!
@@markschoning5581 I never said it wasnt. However the biggest selling factor of the Lynx and AS21 is cost. They are almost 1-2 million USD less than CV-90. But again number of adopters isnt necessarily indicative of quality or being the best

But you said, that cost were an issue, why the CV-90 was not succesful in the respective bids. But as I said, the Puma is by far the most expensive IFV on this Planet! Far more expensive as the Lynx aswell.

Puma has no competition? *Dude never heard of Adidas*
In Germany we call it Flachwitz.
Mich hats gekriegt 🤣
😂😂😂
*I just don't understand the hate behind this vehicle, especially on German videos about, well, their very own military in general!*
Most of these people have probably never even done basic training, nor ever been in an Armored fighting vehicle or ever fired a gun.
The Puma in itself is a very potent and promising IFV, very much up to date and equipped with the latest possible technology, with more to come for it. The crews who actually operate it (and not he Internet haters) are very, very happy with their new IFV, and KMW and Rheinmetall have done a fantastic job to implement most of the (ex-) Marder crews ideas and expertise.
Of course it's not perfect and still has it's little flaws, but what new Military tech has ever been flawless on its introduction?! Think about the years of development the M1 Abrams had to go through, look at the T-14 Armata etc.
Honestly, my respect for the Engineers and the German military in general that they still managed to pull something like this vehicle off, especially when looking at their budged and how much their own government holds them back with funding. In the end, it's always about money
so we are just not gonna mention any of the CV 90 variant IFVs?

cv90 is crap
@@manu-pd1pj In what way?
do a video about the CV90
Puma certainly has competition. It's all about the specifications of the buyer. If you want a very expensive IFV with high armour that only transports 6 infantry to the field, then go ahead. But if you want cheaper options that transport 8 infantry, has a bigger gun and is smaller and easier to navigate through heavy terrain, you can buy a CV90 for example. You want defense, you buy a Puma. You want logistics, you buy a CV90.
Funny how your video on the puma was sponsored by WT and the puma was recently added with this update
Honestly I like the t15 better.....but puma is cool as well.....😀
T15 looks way more intimidating than puma

I feel like most people would agree t15 is better and looks pretty cool, but it's a shame there's not that much production yet.
