The rapid development of main battle tank technologies such as reactive and composite armor has only increased the dangers of owning a computer. The Leclerc is no exception; with Napoleon's blood in its veins, the Leclerc succeeds the infamous cavalry rush with a 120mm long rod APFSDS tungsten kinetic penetrator to the face. With main battle tanks possessing greater range and mobility than before, knowing proper defensive and offensive tactics to protect your computer is critical. In this video, we will demonstrate how a baguette can be used as improvised anti-tank ammunition as well as explain the effectiveness of other approaches such as armoring your computer and the use of scorched earth retreating policies.

“Sadly, most people do not just keep random tank shell lying in their house.”

“Retrieve the royal ordnance L30a1 120mm rifled gun emplacement we have conveniently stored in the basement.”

Your tactics seriously need work. It’s far more effective to leave some of your baguette stash outside. This will distract the Leclerc’s crew, as they are legally required as Frenchmen to eat the baguettes, which necessitates leaving the tank. Once they have left to eat the baguettes, you can enter the Leclerc with your computer and make your escape. Only 10% of Frenchmen can sniff out oil fumes up to 650 km away, so you have a good chance of getting away.

“Most people do not leave depleted uranium lying around”

"Anyways, just grab the L30A1 in your basement"

[Oyff]

Cheers I'll be telling my grandkids how I once defeated a Leclerc by filling a baguette with plastic explosives

[DanJay]

“To it, the Geneva Convention is merely the Geneva Suggestion.”

That got me good.

“The main battle tank shows up at your doorstep within seconds and is now surveying your computer for structural weaknesses to exploit” is a sentence I’ve never thought I would hear

[ExoDead]

“Most people do not leave depleted uranium lying around”

Me an American: *sweats nervously*

"Almost enough to get something through your thick skull"

This just made my day

[Dr.Silverwolf]

My uncle was tank crewman that unfortunately got taken out by a baguette. It was a pretty crumby way to go

[jakedomenick-urbansky]

“No one just has random anti tank shells laying around!”

“Grab your handy tank gun that you conveniently stored in your basement”

[asuramaru]

"We dont have HESH rounds lying around, so we must use a baggette to make a shell"
Seconds later:
"So we take the 120mm replacement barrel from the basement"

[Pegasuz]

No need to turn the baguette into explosive shell, frozen baguette will effectively crush any tank armor

[paulustrucenus]

I love the little historic details like keeping poison around the neck and splitting the army to crush it with a cavalry charge, which are both things Napoléon did.
Great job.

"The roof does not have the raw armor thickness of other more critical areas. So how do we exploit this weakness?"
"Top attack ATGMs?"
"explosive baguettes"
"ah"

[SetlingAxe]

It’s crazy that these videos aren’t being taken down for revealing top secret information like this

[brimwulf]

I love the Bosnian Ape Society continuity of how suspicious links invite surprise attacks from main battle tanks

[soulassassing]

My mom was right when she said "the internet is dangerous". Because of this video now we can't even go to the store in our Leclerc MBT without someone firing explosive baguettes at us.

[theplanetmercury]

The phrase "The Leclerc knows no fear, it can only see fear" is gonna get used a lot in f1 meme circles.

[CatastropheCatalyst]

"To him the Geneva Convention is merely the Geneva Suggestion" Nearly spit my drink, lol

[nopenope]

'You are not William Sherman. Do not attempt any scorched earth tactics. You would probably burn down your own computer in the process.'

Something about how bluntly that line was delivered really got me
