5:30 Fun fact: BMP's are designed to be amphibious, but in practice, their not. Takes too much work setting it up, and half the time it wasn't maintained properly anyways. BMP's are mainly used as IFV's. Their not tanks, but are used to carry infantry, dismount them, and help them fight along. Much the same capacity as the US Bradley
3:10 Thats an anti-air platform lol. Those are 50 cals bundled up in one big turret for anti-air purposes. Ground vehicles would only be sent in after air superiority was established, so America didn't invest into many fancy AA equipment. It was pretty cost-effective to use the good old M2 in that configuration lol
The M47 Patton tank did serve with US forces but very briefly being replaced by the later M48 Patton tank. M47 Patton tanks where retired in 1959 only serving for 7 years and is known as an interam tank.
Those are recoiles rifles, not cannons on that M50 lol. They were made back when the US was still figuring out if HEAT was better than regular AP shells. They were debating whether recoilles rifles, ATGMs, or cannons would be the future.
4:57 Those are not canons, they are 106mm recoilless rifles on the M50 (Ontos). Also, If it has tires instead of tracks, it's not a tank. For size, that is a good museum, not near the largest. Check out the museum at Bovington in the UK, the collection at Ft. Moore in the US state of Georgia, Arsenalen in Sweden, or the Kubinka museum outside Moscow. For the largest in the world, you have to travel to France and visit Musée des Blindés. Nice video though.........
Wow
I love it and 🇬🇧❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Are you sure thats a german anti-air vehicle?
It looks soviet to me, and I don't know if they put anti-air shells on regular tanks like that.
you are correct, its a soviet t34-85 with no anti air capability whatsoever.
That is a surprisingly diverse and interesting collection.

Enjoyed the video and would love to go to this museum, but my guy you need to brush up on your info on some of the vehicles you covered.
That Tiger 1 is a movie tank based on a T-55 that looks like a Tiger1, same with the Jagdpanther
I saw the thing in the background that better be covered
that is not even close to be the biggest tank collection
