Very well-made, insightful, and informative video! Thanks a lot!
I came a bit late to the party and did my whole career on the AMX10RC, but the "old guys" always spoke very positively about the EBR.

Exceptionally good episode. I learned there was quite a bit of innovation and interesting engineering in these vehicles

[ShaneBlack-udie]

Excellent video, and very informative.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lack of up to date references on a lot of French AFV's available. Well, in the English language anyway. So it's fantastic to be able to watch this video and get so much information.

I'd love to see some books published on French armoured cars as they have had some amazingly capable and quite formidably armed examples in service.
And I was aware that the Tank Museum had an EBR-10 in their collection, but I was pleasantly surprised to see in the opening shots of this video that you have an EBR-11 sitting behind it as well.

As a car enthusiast, I've always admired Panhard for being a very innovative and distinctly unique company. It's cool to see that their penchant for outside-the-box engineering extended to their tanks as well.

Great presentation.
Thank you Dave Willey.

Well that was cool vid and I didn't no there was an APC version which Portugal had in service. Learn something new everyday.

Thank you again for these fantastic displays and sharing of your knowledge. There is a Panhard currently being restored at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum. Wednesday Workshops on YouTube are compelling viewing. It’s an incredible Museum to visit, if you ever get a chance.

Interesting video about the history of this machine, very well documented thank you

[ddraig]

It's interesting that some modern lorries can raise pairs of wheels to save fuel when not carrying cargo.

[colinelliott]

A bold and innovative design. That made it complicated, yet they seemed to have mastered the engineering. That makes me think of the GD

[alexgregory]

Amazing video and awesome tank! Can’t wait for Tankfest!

[bobsyoruncle]

the name Panhard suits the vehicle - flat as a cast iron pan and hits hard. Exceptional "shoot-and-scoot" AFV.

[jaredneaves]

Cant wait for the Australian Armour Museum to restore theirs

One of my favorites when playing tank quartet.

[garynew]

Australian armour and artillery museum in cairns, australia are restoring one of these.

Wheelieeesss, Awesome history breakdown. 🏎👍

[atomicshadowman]

A 12 cylinder boxer air cooled engine...😍

Thanks to remember the use of Panhard by the Portuguese army.
Don't forget, the Panhard participate in Portuguese revolution, in 25 of April 1974, and in Lisbon in that day, some ones take position in several important points in the city.

I could be wrong, but I think the EBR is the last military 8-wheeler that had raisable middle tires. I wonder if this feature was abandoned on future vehicles because of the added weight and/or complexity of the retraction mechanism?
