@redxenos Ever hear of the Stryker MGS? The US Army is beginning to use those because Russia doesn't plan on having a huge armored battle in Europe any time soon. The Leo serves the same purpose for us. We also have the Leo 2A6's which are more advanced then the M1 and Challenger in the case that the Russians want to do Kursk all over again.
rick is got such quick dirty mind when the soldier starts explaining to him about he crew positions hes gonna introduce him to although i went as well like thats quite some terminology to explain it lol i was laughing cause i noticed rick almost cracking up and the soldier couldnt help himself either lol "driver's hole gunner's hole , loader's hole and load a blank round" lol priceless, and then he says "when you mount the tank hahaha that was funny" lol
One of those "Rubbish Leopards" Saved my life in Afghanistan so I can tell you with some authority they are not rubbish. Just because something is old doesn't mean it is garbage. If you were to look it up you would see the New tanks that Canada has the Leopard 2 A6 is the best tank in the world, Superior to both the Challenger and the Abrams in all respects, the Americans even admit that. As for cost for the work we do overseas it is Cheap compared to not having that firepower on the battlefield
@vancouverbman probably the platoon command tank. Most likely a Srg. or Master Cpl. would be the other two tank commanders. At least that is how it worked in the mechanized infantry.
Anyone ever think maybe Rick doesn't drive - or has lost his license? He has way too much fun, never looks where he's going and in always being told to slow down. Hmmmm
+Drive Gaming no its a centurion, the centurion was replaced by the leopard 1 rick was seen driving here in the year 1978 and 1979, the leopard one is now being replaced by leopard 2a4m and 2a6m tanks the Caernarvon tank was never used by canada, only by the united kingdom' service for the tank United Kingdom 1955-1966. Deployed in West Germany only.
Thankfully we've finally upgraded from that tanks (to the Leopard 2A4 and 2A6)
took time
@@shimavitz47 now we need Heli upgrades
@@shimavitz47 not too long, they used 2a6s in afghan
"A lot of bang, no results, I keep that up they'll make me environment minister!" LOL
"What's a 93 Ford Tempo worth?"
about 2 bucks
Rick has the coolest job ever!
He is soooo lucky, driving a Leopard, flying on a CF-18...
i dont think thats where zipperhead came from haha
All that Tempo needs is a little scratch remover and a good polishing and it'll look good as new.
Pretty sure it's already as good as the day it rolled out of the factory.
Haa haa thats awesome! cool how he was sliding the tank around in the snow!
Mr Warrant Officer needs t fix his beret
You should go pick him up and see what he tells you LOL
He's a Zipperhead...
So sadly...his head is actually shaped that way
I remember seeing this a while back and now I've worked in the tank barn next to that hanger (its a white whale BTW)
how does a warrant walk around with a beret looking like he just signed up
He has such an awesome job.
You have the best and coolest job in the world!!
Drifting a tank, that's freaking awesome!!:D
lol he looks so pleased
He has an awesome job because he's an awesome person.
Jesus... The white whale was so clean 15 years ago.

Rick you should visit the royal montreal regiment.... The RMR ;)
every soldiers dream...to be confined in a tank with Rick...Loaders hole for sure.....LMFAO.....:)
I lost it when he said load a blank into the loader's hole
"maybe i should leave a note on the windshield". lolz
Awesomesauce!
I want one :D

Someone please, put Eurobeat over Rick driving the tank!
I want to drive one of those tanks!
My first impression Rick+Tanks=...
Anyone ever think maybe Rick doesn't drive - or has lost his license? He has way too much fun, never looks where he's going and in always being told to slow down. Hmmmm
I would be afraid someone would swing the turret around and take off my head. This trade is not for me! Love Rick Mercer!
I want to see him stalk people with the Coyote Reconnaissance Vehicle. Raise up the mast in the middle of a field and ask if he looks like a tree.
Holy hell that was funny
Im pretty sure on the left (his left) is the drivers seat. If im wrong.... Nice driving.
only 1 hole in the hull of a leo 1 and it is on the right side, no rad ops in MBT's
Too bad the Leopard 2A4m and 2A6M weren't in Canada yet. Those newer tanks are way more fun to operate than the Leopard C2.
Better in every way too!
no man 4:19!! his laugh is hilarious!!
@vancouverbman yeah. A W.O will most likely be the Alpha call sign.
@redxenos they are far too expensive for the kind of "work" we do overseas.
@14Schofield
true... I wish i can work for the mercer report just to travel all over canada :)
4:15 - powerslide !!
@m1up It's a Leopard tank.
Rick was being a douche to the guy at 0:28. but then again, I'm jealous of the Leftenant
that would be funny if we saw it in real life
Best part 4:27!
lol tokyo drift... in a tank
I wouldn't even call it work. :D
@m1up It's because It's Leopard 2.
@Connorjayphotography It's actually a Centurion.
@m1up It's a Centurion.
yay! edmonton =)
Canada has Tanks? Royt!..Those German cat claws thingys.
'Loader's Hole'? Of course, they didn't know that Mercer was gay at the time this was filmed.
He's a *zipper-head* ... what do you expect?
UNLESS you're a higher rank...
tankyo drift much
lol I have tank in my school xD
MERCER FOR PM!!!!!!!
@m1up Centurion.
@NlcEpAnTs edmonton
@TehSiggs That's not funny you know, that's mean
In the beginning, he was in front of a Caernarvon, a British Made tank.
+Drive Gaming actually a centurion modified to Canadian standards
Cold War Sure..
+Drive Gaming no its a centurion, the centurion was replaced by the leopard 1 rick was seen driving here in the year 1978 and 1979, the leopard one is now being replaced by leopard 2a4m and 2a6m tanks
the Caernarvon tank was never used by canada, only by the united kingdom'
service for the tank
United Kingdom 1955-1966. Deployed in West Germany only.
The Caernarvon was used as a training tank for the up and coming Conqueror - it never entered mass production.
@TheTRAVISJUNIOR He's an officer, gets paid too much.
I wonder why the Asian hasn't driven
They cant drive for shit
