Germany Reveal New LuWa Airborne Armored Vehicle For Replacement Of The AWC Wiesel
In 2021 demonstrator of a new airmobile tracked armored vehicle was revealed in Germany. It was designed as a replacement for the Wiesel 1. The new vehicle is designated as the Luftbeweglichen Waffenträger (Airmobile Weapon Carrier), or LuWa for short. It was jointly developed by The ACS was responsible for armored hull and internal systems and final assembly, FFG for driveline and suspension, and Valhalla Turrets for the turret.

I love these tiny tankettes. I wonder why nobody other than Germany makes a tiny one like that.
Our Bridges are in Bad shape. It ist cheaper to built smaller and lighter tanks. :D
Actually, the Russian do ..
@@Scoti17 Yet you guys still have proper main battle tanks, like the Leopard.
@@shaolindonniedo what? Presenting an prototype which never been built?
German engineering is a beauty
That hard braking at the beginning… oof! Btw the Wiesel is amazing, it can honestly be used for much longer with minor modifications
thanks for watching
well it will be used into the 2030´s.
currently the Wiesel 1 MK and Wiesel 1 TOW are getting upgraded. The TOW is going to be replaced with MELLS (SPIKE LR) and the MK might get an MK30-2ABM upgrade similar to Puma.
Both will recive 3rd gen thermal imagers etc.
I hope it is, there is quite a chance that the wiesel's service life will be extended to account for the expansion of the German military. It could also be mothballed instead of scrapped afterwards due to the same reason.
Also, nice protogen.
@@sybrandwoudstra9236 unlikely. The size of the german army is limited by 2+4 and CFE Treaty
Fun thing the video shows my company building I'm sitting right now
Der Wiesel mit der tow zerstört jeden aktuellen kampfpanzer. Zudem ist er sehr mobil und leicht mit dem Helikopter zu transportieren:))) beste Gerät der Fallschirmspringer
I love the Wiesel doing a stoppie!😂😎
As tank engineers, we always had to watch out for the holes we jumped into.
Every now and then the hole was occupied by a weasel 😂
LOL
I remember that ! PzPiKp 20

A lot of work has been put into the LuWa vehicle but all things considered the original short Wiesel-1 remains the best vehicle for air-mobile forces and for light reconnaissance in my view and should be far cheaper to acquire and operate so can be purchased in large numbers.
The original Wiesel-1 design just needs modernising with modern communications, sensors, light weight composite armour and a more modern and stabilised turret fitted with a suitable 20 to 30mm cannon. The cannon variant could also be fitted with a co-axial 7.62mm gun to improve the usefulness of the vehicle.
For improved stability when firing the gun and to provide a little more internal space, perhaps another road wheel could be added to the Wiesel-1 configuration which now has only 3 small road wheels plus the large return roller which also is a road wheel which would then have 4 small road wheels plus the return roller.
The Wiesel-2 has 5 small road wheels plus the return roller but this vehicle may be a little too long for the cannon variant which requires good agility. A similarly modernised Wiesel-2 would better suit the role of ATGM carrier (Spike/MELLS), ambulance, SAM launcher and mortar carrier for example.
Perhaps improved mine and IED protection can be designed in but only if this can be done without increasing weight significantly. Please don't go down the wrong path by choosing the LuWa vehicle.

Exactly. Save some money & modernize/upgrade what you have with the Wiesel. Start over from the ground up, if necessary.
the black vehicle in this video is a modernized wiesel I think no idea why he put it in here... I think it can also be used as a drone
The is a modernisation program for the Wiesel for, for exampel the TOW is replaced by MELLS / Spike. But due to payload and space of the Wiesel a lot of the points you mentioned can not be upgraded and replaced by new features. So it is more to clear the obsolescence.
For the LuWa, it is not that big you might think. It still can be transported inside the Ch53 and has nearly the same weights and dimensions like the Wiesel2. And it is still only a technology demonstrator. The final vehicle will be a worthy successsor of the Wiesel, even when it will look different. Have in mind, that it also is a vehicle developed dedicated for the airborne infantry.
@@JS-mb7yo"But due to payload and space of the Wiesel a lot of the points you mentioned can not be upgraded and replaced by new features. So it is more to clear the obsolescence."
I don't agree that the Wiesel-1 and Wiesel-2 configuration cannot be adapted to suit modern systems. I am suggesting redesign and optimisation with new systems based on the existing mechanical design which is simple and cost effective.
Yes the Wiesel-1 is the best for Airborne but Ukraine is not in an airborne War... The 2 troops or extra ammo or ability to evacuate the wounded of the Wiesel-2 with a 25 or 30mm gun would be a bonus to Ukraine's war... and as I said they could produce Thousands... Though maybe Poland would lend a hand in the endeavor as they could use them as well.. Thanks!
Ich freue mich für unsere Bundeswehr🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Klar warum nicht noch mehr Panzer ich mein Munition oder generelle Verbesserungen unserer Bundeswehr sind doch überflüssig.
@@wppz7691 Das Gerät hier wird als Ersatz für die alten Wiesel 1 entwickelt, was genau so Notwendig ist.
@@patta8388as einzig nötige wäre eine etwas dickere und modernere Hülle, modernere Sensoren und Richtsysteme gewesen.
Kein möchtegern minipanzer der für vorherige Rollen kaum zu gebrauchen ist. Der sinn des Wiesel ist infanterieunterstützung und eine hochmobile Waffenplattform und Aufklärung. Leicht absetzbar in grossen zahlen per Flugzeuge oder Helikopter. Ja so viel dazu
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti Interessant, wie du besser weißt, ob der LuWa was taugt oder nicht, noch bevor die Erprobung abgeschlossen ist....
@@patta8388 Bei der Clownwehr taugt gar nix
They are adorable! Now, every kid is going to want one for Christmas 🎄
Kids? I want one 😫
Many people here seems to don't understand how deadly these tiny tanks like Wiesels are.
The importance of speed is underestimated.
@@flybywire5866 And even more the ability to come from the backside of a enemy
Yeah real great lookin bit of kit!
But as any military will tell you, GET IT IN THEATRE!! That’s where it will prove it’s self!👍👍🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Keep the Weasel I and II. Add a 30mm auto cannon.
that thing with some decent camo would be an utter nightmare to deal with, a tiny 27mm cannon sniper.
It is not armed with the MLG 27. The MLG 27 is a naval weapons system consisting of the BK27 in a mount and a electro optical sensor system. The LuWa is armed with the BK 27.
The vehicles seen driving through the mud/water is actually an UGV version of the Wiesel and not the LuWa Demonstrator.
Just have hundreds of these as drones supporting infantry.
That's a serious force to contend with. They don't cost nearly as much as an mbt
And they can knock out MBTs with their tow
🇩🇪 is the best for military number one ☝️
Hmm,ich würde beim Wiesel bleiben...die Teile sind der Hammer!
Der gefährliche kleine Maus👊
After my Opinion the advantages of the Wiesel 1 is getting less and less to size and weight of the new versions. 3,x t are not 6.x t and the size of the new ones are making spotting again easier.
Little better
Man sollte trotzdem am Wiesel festhalten, für z.B. Spezialeinsätze von Fallschirmjägern oder Spezialeinheiten.
I drove British army sarasan would have loved a drive in this tank.
Germany: "Look at all these fancy new weapon systems that we're developing and that our own military will never have enough to even use effectively!"
A civilian model would be excellent!
It's what THE OLD BLAZERS AND BRONCOS WANTED TO BE!
Mit der Kanone kann man jeden schützen panzer ausschalten
So viele Ausschnitte zeigen den ACW Wiesel und nicht LuWa
We gemans have the best weapons for sure ,but we always forget order them ....

Танкетка отличная.
so by this video, the new System can drive zigzag on a normal road, every other part of the video shows other vehicles, mostly the Wiesel, wich are in service at the moment. The Luwa is just a concept study and far from any confirmation of actual service.
The Polish had one during the begining of WW2 that the Germans called Cockroach .
It carried a 20mm cannon and had success against early model German Panzers...Maybe the Germans could give their Wiesels to Ukraine to use as recon and or as Hunter killer teams against Russian armor..
the point is no one will notice this tankette ... and when the little green box appears from the undergrowth you are dead
OK---------. The AWC Wiesel is Just So Cute.. But they look like something that Ukraine Would love to have all 500 of the Wiesel 1 and 2's... With external fuel Cells off the back of the little tank like M-113s giving it a decent range they would give Ukraine a Huge Boost to their Campaign to take back All of Ukraine as they could go places the Humvee style Armored Gun Trucks they are using now in great numbers... Germany could also start sending the Wiesel's replacement straight to Ukraine from the Factory Floor... LOL!!! Ya, sure... But the old Wiesels will do just fine if they get enough of them...
You gonna pay for them? We paid from our taxmoney. Send your own things and stop trying to pull us into your proxywar. Economic institute of our country predicts a 650 Billion economic loss for this year thanks to your warmongering
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti OK----ABU; I love people like you that twist facts around to justify Turning your Back on Friends and Neighbors that need your Help. I just hope that someday Thugs do not decide to break into you home and Rob you blind, Rape your family kill your kids if they act up, turning you into their SLAVE as they live in your home at gun point... After all you are so UN-Selfish that you would never want your Nieboers to pay for the Police to come save you and your family and kick the Thugs out of your home... That would be Way to WARMONGERING...!!!
👍
Yeah but no they're not doing anything like that.
I love the Weasel, this not so much. 4 sets of tracks is NOT a good idea...
Demonstrator often means many years of additional testing but only if it's ordered.
The spiking music background is truly annoying and spoil the quality of the presentation. Great vehicle with a true potential on modern war field.
oh yay ! the "Ripper" with a gun
Please tell me the advantages and disadvantages of having separate tracks in the front and back.
If it loose a track, can going on
The USARMY wants a tank for the airborne. So they make a tank that can't be air dropped or carried by a helicopter. The Germans want a tankette for the airborne. They make a tankette that can be put inside of a helicopter. Mmm come on man
OK---. Nick; the US airborne already has mini tanks of sorts in the Striker and Bradley. They have found out in Iraq and Afghanistan that the 25mm and the Strikers new 30mm turret is just not up to the job of neutralizing really HARD points. The 105mm neutralizes just about anything and from 4 and 5 times the range of the 30mm and 25mm respectively...
@@1701Larry I've been around for a few years, but I have yet to see a Bradley get airdropped, and neither can a stryker. Before the striker with the 105 was selected to support the airborne, it competed against a tank that could be dropped with a 105mm main gun.
The AGS/MGS/M8 system was air-droppable, unlike the stryker MGS. The stryker MGS was only in service for around 15 years before the army decided to drop it. It was officially out of service at the end of 2022.
The MPF, the new army light tank, is still not airdroppable. It has other things going for it, but still not airdroppable. But if the idea is that the airborne will capture an airfield we can land on for the new tank to offload from the c-17, then it will work.
But what do I know? I only gave my whole adult life to the army.
That was the rumor, and that request has been around a long time, but it keeps getting ignored, The MPF was never intended for airborne operation, which is what people assumed it was for, but the reality of the program parameters were always for a heavy weapon platform to support normal infantry operation. Just like the Stryker MGS. This was mentioned in the Chieftains initial review of the MPF
This would be better for the Marines
@@nickc7320you are talking to MAGA armchair generals who have 10 years of military experience from call of duty and battlefield 2, 3 "1" and 4.
Real Experts you know
Tanks....its in our DNA! :D
❤
So if it's about the LuWa, why do you keep showing clips of the wiesel?
I think these are great and could defo see their usefulness on the Battle Field. I don`t think the fact that they only have light Armour would be an issue either as the Ukraine War has proved heavy armour will not protect you from modern missile systems etc.
Drohnen Nicht zu vergessen, die zerstörten in der Ukraine den größten Teil der Fahrzeuge
That thing almost flipped over and hit the people in the start of the video. SMH 🤦♀
Can't really see how two separate sets tracks will be all that beneficial, given that it only increases it's engineering complexity and reduces it's off-road performance by placing more weight onto a small area (aka, more susceptible to sinking in mud) while not really reducing weight.
It can still somewhat drive/retreat if one track is damaged.
@@matthiasklopke161 That's _fair_
But, I'm pretty sure it's not at all a stretch to give a pair of roadwheels the ability to steer. That was a thing on Christie style suspensions for a lot of tanks from the 20's to 40's.
But, hey, if they're confident it's not a big deal, who am I to say what should or shouldn't be done tbh, looking back on it.
It has better offroad capability and can maintain higher speeds offroad. Its main use. Also maintenance is easier as a damaged track (usually 1) is way faster faster removed if its way smaller on only stuck on 2 wheels
I want to see if being smaller and faster will help their survivability in drone/MANPAD type of war.
All vehicles are vulnerable to modern missile systems though so you`d be "neutralised" regardless of how thick the armour was as the Ukraine War has proved.These little beauties can be dropped in via Helicopter so have many benefits if used correctly.Look how useful the Jeeps were in WW2 and they had no armour what-so-ever.
Using a voice simulator only works if your writer is competent. Having someone to check your work might also help.
Wow I hope the Mexican Cartels never have a German Weapons advisor. 27mm Drive By"s.What kind of maniac does this stuff?
Top 😉👍👍
Why nobody builds for peace with the same dedication that they do for war?
And what have u been building for peace ?
loving these vehicles ! Wonder why the quadruple tracks ??
Maintenance, each track is lighter, requiring less personel (maybe even repairable, at some point, with only the crew of 2).
Maybe you can still drive with a lost or damaged track?
A computer-generated narrator who states "Germany is the only county to use" instead of country. Nice job, guys...
I don't think that Germany would use this version with external hoses
I still like the Weasel better. But this is good .can you mix the anti air and anti tank . Say two tank and two aircraft missiles
Never underastemate a Wiesel.
Hauptmann Bertram wurde mit so ein coolen ding (Wiesel) verabschiedet
.. im sad to say that thing is a death trap, no V shaped hull= big boom.. though this leason was learnt by now.
Where is the county of Germany?
Thumbs Down for the lousy computer narration, it ruins the whole video… for me, anyway
Does that mean i can buy a demiled one as daily driver soon???^^
Nope. Sorry. The "old ones" are still in duty, my friend. Those babys are extreme populare in german and few other european armys.
Das geht gar nicht ,mit den Schläuchen außenliegend der ist schnell verwundbar !
which one finally ?
So long as nobody pulls out the 20mm anti personnel gun their ok?? … what a savings……😂😂
Seems needlessly complex and expensive. Don't foresee anyone other than the Germans buying this.
You keep showing two vehicles, which one is it? Hell confusing, don't know whether the vehicle is produced, at design stage, or something else.
Perfect armes
Germany revealed? It's an armour company, nothing more
Germany have no more enough money because this we build way smaller Tanks.
0:01 maybe do that a bit further away from the kids ?
Is it so hard to have someone do a proper voiceover?
It look like a tracked Trabant
Looks over engineered to me. I love the KISS principle: Keep It Stupid Simple.
Wiesel 3 ?
Question, if it can fit into the ch53, can it also fit in the chinook?
No what
Probably.
Of course!
Perfect to go to work!
Didn't show any of them knocking down trees, an essential quality of a tracked armored vehicle, or at least it used to be.
They weasel between the trees. Very stealthy.
They're funny for sure. When you drill save the last beer for them !Savage's!
Even and Abrams will come to a SUDDEN Stop if the TREE is big enough!!!
This... but with Brimstone
Wow I 😍 it. ‼️
don't you think that this material could help the Ukrainians to postpone the inevitable date of their defeat more than MBTs

Wtf first clip 😂
It looks better than the weasel, lol!

Germany learned its lesson from the Polish cockraoches in ww2 they were tiny little tanks with speed and a 30mm cannon they destroy big mighty German panzers, and the the tanks had a hard time with them, they were to quick to catch and shoot and were to maneuverable to be a ke to get a shot on them by the time the tanks turret has got around the cockroach is already blasting its sides and rear end in and fked off 😂
Most of the german tanks back then were cockroaches too, like the very big and mighty Pz. I and II. Only a few hundreds were bigger than that.
