Germany's LYNX Is About to See Combat for the First Time in Ukraine

you forgot to mention the important fact that it can balace a glass of beer on it's barrel while driving 60 km/h

Well, the Lynx will show us whether it still makes sense to send tanks onto a drone-dominated battlefield, or whether their time is finally over. If it turns out they are obsolete, however, I fear that Western strategists lack the foresight to part ways with their beloved tanks and will continue to cling to them.

Can it detect and shoot down drones, everything else is whatever..

Even Belgian subscribers with knowledge of the German language, most dogs and cats, random donkeys, bats too I heard and surprisingly enough jumping spiders as well as no surprise there Germanic AI applications. Furthermore we brace ourselves for the surge of depressions and acts of despair among writers, poets, translators and educational staff. That about covers it.

Feels more like a light tank.

Timestamp 00:11 to 00:15 - FYI - Actually the Lynx lost in Australia. It was a finalist in the Land 400 competition against the South Korean Hanwha Redback, and lost to the Redback. Australia actually bought the Redback IFV as the AS21. It will be produced in Australia, and the 1st Redback is expected to be delivered in 2027.

Hello, Wes from us down under. Enjoy your show and sense of humour that helps it from being to techno stiff. I was in our reserve forces and can see just how much things have changed with todays tech. Ukraine kicks butt, slava Ukraine.

If there was generally an "tournament" of different tank's.
Which tanks were part of the set tournament...because, I just wanna know if...the Australian redback tank was considered, or not.

🇦🇺🇺🇦Just asking, because I want to if Australian government money is going into the right place or not. Like Yah, us Aussie's do the...Lynx tank as well. Yet, the Australian labour party says they want to create more Australian own technology. Like, if the Lynx won fairly against the redback tank in actual combat. Congregation, on Germany. I'm no saw loser.😎 With that said...if the Redback tank didn't get battle field tested, long side it. Well, Australian-Ukraine should get on it.🇺🇦🇦🇺

Never been done before at this scale? Two world wars don't count it seems.

You've probably lost as many German viewers, for your danke, as you have lost Australians from your Crikey! That is, basically none. Please keep up the wonderful work that you're doing, Wes. Crikey!

THE ugliest language in the world for me personally is hungarian one.

Unsinging like that may just loose the last of us Brisbane subscribers too mate…

The era of armored vehicles is over. Even unmanned vehicles will no longer stand a chance of survival on the transparent battlefield. They’re essentially death traps. Anti-tank mines, drones, and MANPADS will take care of that.

US stops sending Bradley's. Germany sends a better more modern Lynx. EU is overtaking US equipment

Although I think these vehicles are 'a thing of the past' (especially counting price/benefit), I greatly appreciate the great support from Germany

Thats nice but what they realy need are skyranger going with them to the frontline to shield them.

Keep going. Stay awesome. Слава Україні.

Thanks mate another informative and great video keep em coming

Thanks Wes, yet another excellent analysis of a new weapons system.
Lets hope this platform delivers as advertised,
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! Glory to the People of Ukraine. Crimea is Ukraine!

Australia didn’t order the Lynx. We should have, but we didn’t. Instead, we’ve ordered the South Korean IFV. This means Australia has a German Armin reconnaissance vehicle and a South Korean IFV.
We missed the opportunity to have alignment around uniform tech

It is good to see Germany help a country attached by a genocidal enemy.. now if they only also did that for browner Palestinians we could have concluded they learned the correct lessons of their past

Something thats pretty neat about the Lynx is that you can fairly easily replace the turret with a mortar or turn it into a Skyranger to fight off Russian drones with air burst ammo. Ukraine could make their own little modern Gepards locally. I thinks thats pretty neat.

How does it handle the difficult terrain over there ? Anyone ?

Hungarian IS like SOME other European languages: Finnish 🇫🇮 and Estonian 🇪🇪. C'mon Wes! Don't be THAT guy!

Aand the US President got finessed by Israel into starting a war with Iran whilst the biggest near peer armed conflict since WW2 is raging in Europe. I'm sorry for bringing it up, but it's the fully grown bull elephant perched on a footstool in the middle of the room and it's just blown up again(thanks Bibi).

Hi Wes,
Australia didn’t adopt the Lynx. It went with the Hanwa Redback as our new IFV.

Cheers,
Scotty

Check out the price action of Rheinmetall!

Is there a reason the pew pew on vehicles like this is no longer circular? It looks cool but does that protect the round bit or what?

Effectively a wonder that the Germans haven't claimed your comment section yet.

as always, great coverage Wes.

0:12 Australia purchased Redbacks not Lynx.

The Aussie did not take our Lynx.

They took the Redback frim SK.

Somehow losing to SK or Japan is not as bad.

Fascinating Wes! It will be interesting to see how they do! The process is the right one!

SLAVA UKRAINE!!!! WELL DONE WES!!

NATO has too many IFV. Why does Germany alone have like three?

Europes new testing ground.
The only reason they get stuff since no one gives a crap about Ukraine!

Love that Bush laugh.

Hungarian is indeed completely different from all other European languages; Hungarian and Finnish are the outliers in Europe. The peoples from whom the Finns and Hungarians descend arrived in Europe much later due to nomadic migrations; both originated in the Central Asian steppes and are more closely related to Turkic peoples than to those of Europe. The Hungarians, in particular, only took possession of the territory of present-day Hungary during the Middle Ages.

Ich bin noch da keine Sorge, nur für meine Landsleute kann ich nicht bürgen😂

I have talked with one of the officers which were in the development project for the Puma IFV. When i look at the Lynx it looks like the Puma without the "we need to build it by several German companies" aspect of it and lessoned learned by the Puma and the errors the Puma had. Which is good as the Puma is the first Next Gen IFV with lessoned incorperated from Afghanistan and the Lynx is the successor. For example the Lynx is 3 tons heavier then a Puma, because they had to make the Puma lighter for Air Transport but which means that the protection against Heavy Machine Guns on the Sides is only given when the Puma is uparmored to konfiguration C. While the Lynx has it in the Base configuration etc. For most European Armies it makes sense to have the heavier base variant. Or as the Officer said about the Puma: "Leicht rein, tod raus." "Lightly Armored in (Konfiguration A), Dead out". So yes the better Puma with most kinks ironed out.

Zalaegerszeg Zala-egers-zeg makes much more sense to me than Massachusetts.😉

Fingers crossed….but between drones, etc., is this the best investment?

Digital block camo- does it work? 😎😇

Lynx is literally a 80% Puma for 60% of the price.

Thanks Wes always feel smarter after watching your videos. 🇨🇦👍👍Glory to Ukraine
