…or IFV in this case. Thanks to miszczu666 for sending me this video :)

GJ. Many cars are not possible to do something like that :)
Tanks have it easier, as the area in contact with the road is bigger.
Tanks have pneumatic brakes, thats why they are possible to brake like this.
this has nothing to do with pneumatic brakes
Keanel, you know that Pneumatic means it uses Air, and Air can be compressed, while Hydraulic (that is used on cars) uses Oil that is nearly uncompressable. Hydraulic > Pneumatic if it comes to immediate pressure generation.
The reason is, you have breaks on all or most roadwheels (7 per side on this one if i count correctly, bad video quality) vs 4 brakes on a car.
and then the area of roadcontact comes into play, there is nothing that has a higher contact area then a track.
A car on his side has more contact area :P But I dont think you’ll break fast anyway then…
And quite a nice video.
hmmm its more like testing the grip of the tracks themselves
It has no abs!
Nice pile of melted asphalt is left there smoking… ;)
Thats not melted asphalt, thats rubber from the tracks.
Looks like we Dutch like doing brake tests :P (It’s a video from a Dutch website called “dumpert.nl”).
…and the military had to pay for the costs involved in extracting the truck drivers fingernails from the steering wheel…
..and some “commercial cleaning” costs…
CV90 or? Kinda looks like one :)
Yup! It looks like CV9040B…
CV9035NL. Dutch version of the CV9040 AIFV, but severely upgraded with BMS, etc.
What’s that armored vehicle SS?
See comments above – apparently CV90
I remember a norwegian comedy where a conscript nicks a CV9030 to go pick up his daughter in kindergarten, and brakes it onto it’s nose right outside the doors. Shame it’s not on Youtube.
How it would look like if the tank didn’t have rubber pads? Skidding over the tarmac? Sinking into the road due the weight and clogged tracks? Tipping over the nose (probably damaging the gun)?
I´d say sliding over, shouldnt be hard to get some video as a proof or something…
