This is just too good not to share......

Wonder what Gen. Patton think!

[Imp]

Pretty awesome to say the leadt. Also noticed the gun stabilization . Both leaping tanks lift the gun for a moment presumably because itscant go any lower then are straight back to tracking level while the tanks bouncing around after landing

Would not let me edit, obviously I now need my glasses on to enter text on the ipad

[cbreedon]

Are those German Leo's? They sure are cruising at speed.

[DRG]

IDK why but I *think* they are Norwegian ( or at least in Norway )but I don't have any hard evidence

OK this is fun to watch as well

Tanks have German insignia and the terrain looks too flat to be in Norway arctic regions. I suppose it's North Germany during winter.

Now these are the Snow Leopards in Norway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmKt80EtuGc

From what I can see this is the same location in both

I find it implausible, as there are deciduous trees in the first video that don't grow much above Oslo latitude. Not much except birch survives up north - and then coniferous trees.

I just can't resist this one anymore, I believe the "focus" is too close in, on what everyone is looking at to some degree. Look to the horizon there's the answer you seek, this is the same video. Notice the clouds are the same on the left side of the video. Also what looks to be either a distant mountain or cloud formation center right, they both share the same "horns" at each end. Also don't the turrets look just a little bear of equipment and it also appears the tank commanders are pretty set in their positions (Especially their heads.) without any real perceivable movement as compared the the tanks. I'm not afraid to say that the video might not even be real but, computer generated.

Just some food for thought.

EXACTLY. It's the same exercise in the same place using high and low quality recordings

Yeah in my delirium (Really really bad allergy attack and no sleep.) I didn't catch the horizon breaks of the hilltops, so my "clouds/or distant mountain" is clearly a cleared slope with two trails coming in from the upper left and right. I can see this area being used to train ski troops as the slope reminds me of a nordic/cross country ski slopes of my youth.

Once you see it... the mountains in the back (in the HQ video) that are not visible in the low quality one and the trees fooled me quite well. But the areas cut open look way too similar to be a coincidence.

[gila]

I call it a faked,for these reasons.
Look at the brush or trees beyond the outermost leos,they are passing at the same speed and clarity as the distant formations when they should much more blurry.
Also shouldn't there be much more snow spray "roostertail" behind them?

[Suhiir]

Depends on the temperature.
If it's cold the snow is "dry" and will create great rostertails, if it's warm the snow is "wet" and thus nada.

Also that's a very light covering of snow/ground frost in the video look at the tracks.

You are all missing an important factor,
Tanks that heavy say 12 tons or more moving at that speed will throw a rooster tail even in light dry snow.
Also the air time shows they are very very light,most likley a fast wheeled vehichle with a fake Leo shell, military propaganda, no new thing, and no dukes of hazzard here

[Dion]

Could be the camera is mounted on another tank in the formation or some other vehicle, and it may be using one of those automatic focusing cameras, causing it to out of focus for a split second. Also it may be why the backround is moving (though I never looked at the background very closly, so I didn't notice if it's moving or not, just replying to observations of another poster).

[Dion]

Aso, the camera might be one of them high tech jobs, that moves up and down like it's foating on air, makes action seens in movies look flawless.

[DRG]

Personally I think the fottage was shot from one of the helos seen in the other video

[wulfir]

I live above the arctic circle.

Not that I have filmed tanks driving through the snow I have many times filmed (with a simple hand held digital camera) friends driving snowmobiles while myself driving one). When you look at the footage it doesn't bounce around all that much...(?)

Trees grow a fair bit up north, but only to a certain height on the mountain sides...

Funny how we are all different my first thought was did the suspension bottom out or was that within the parameters it was designed for. Sure there's several struts but that's 65 tons landing.
As to bouncing about I am no suspension expert but I would think the rebound control is very important in a vehicle of that weight to dampen the movement otherwise it would start oscillating.

[wulfir]

Hmmm, I wasn't clear enough, I think.

I meant the camera footage doesn't seem to bounce around all that much even if you record the film while yourself also going across country, even at some speed.

[DRG]

It won't bounce when it's shot from a helo . How else would you see the tops of the turrets ?
