Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: Kanonenjagdpanzer, Pt 1.

What vehicle would best be covered after a Jagdpanzer? A more modern Jagdpanzer, of course!
And it's amazing what a few years of difference will do for your design. Correction: The engine deck is manual pump/elbow grease only.

The tone makes me think someone has personal experience with smoke launcher fires.

The subtitle calling it the cannoli egg panzer is great. Machine transcriptions sometimes have real gems.

I'm imagining a German cop walking up to a BMP, tapping his ticket book in derision, as he walks around the IFV a few times. The crew inside are confused, nervous, and just want to get this thing to the army base where it can finally be added to the Bundeswehr inventory. He finally walks up to the window and asks


"You boys lose your mirrors? Cause I sure ain't seeing any mirrors on this bad boy...." But, you know....in German. So it sounds even more intimidating.

The series is great.
but when you talk about certain parts of the tank like specific engine parts, it would be helpful to get some kind of indicator (arrow or circle) to mark the specific part that is mentioned.

Noice! Was waiting for the chiefs head to pop out the other hatch at the end though 😂

I so enjoy each and every episode of Inside the Chieftain's Hatch - thank you for all these great videos!

6:05 Actually that bin (EDIT: I meant the rack) in the back is for the camo nets. And german vehicle crews never had their gear stored externally, it was not a thing in the Bundeswehr.

I love that I can watch these videos in quarantine!
Keep up the excellent work Nicholas! ;)

I remember learning about this vehicle in AFV recognition training when I was an armoured reconnaissance guy.

Kanonenjagdpanzer: *exists*
Russian milk trucks: "its free real estate"

[andrewlee-dorf]

Aaaaaw. There was no track tensioning in this video. I feel a bit ripped off :(








Just kidding. Thanks for the great video Chief :D

Most Kanonenjagdpanzer became later arrillery forward observer tanks with the cannon cut off.

I don't know about anyone else but these types of videos are my favorite

[BatmatYT]

Always cool to see a close up of the real deals.

[gustavlicht]

The track design is interesting. Do you thing that you could do a video on tracks themselves, going over the history of tank track design and their field performance?

[travisyelland]

Anyone else like seeing what's on the inside of the armoured vehicle's more?? N can't wait for the follow up to this video?

[ZenFattyCat.]

"Wut is this, a RU251 without turret???" 🤣🤣🤣 my feeling seeing it for the first time

[hependos]

I keep thinking always when i see an infantry telephone in the back; One day the TC will get a call from that phone and the caller is speaking in a foreign language. Would be quite the nasty surprise.

[glennsamson]

This is the vehicle that led me to WOT, I was interested in the vehicle and couldn’t find many video clips except game clips

Belgium and belgian tankers who operated this bad boy really were pleased with it and fulfilled all the tasks and purposes belgian army asked to do !
Don't forget that Belgium had a Brigade in Germany at that time and was supposed to defend its "corridor" against hordes of "red" tanks !
JPK were also very appreciated as "jaloning" (dont know the term in english) but it something like a "protect avant-guard" and harass enemy on the retreat
We still got several running ones, not in duty but for "memorial" purposes !
JPK was used by "Cyclists Regiments" called "Black Devils" and specialized in tank destroying ! They were disciplinary battalions and were feared by the whole belgian army as "madmen" ! they operated along MILAN crews mounted on AMX-13VTT
*Ask me anything*
