#42 Auf Stube On Tour: Aufklären mit dem Fennek - Bundeswehr

Today we went with a student guard to Aalen and Ahlen, because they didn't really have anything there, there was definitely an order problem behind us and in the middle of that we broke into Westfalenkaserne. They are here in the second company of the battalion. Now they are in our meetings to give orders, as I said, first we will discuss everything and then we will go out with the game car, outside with two vehicles, each. with a three-man team you can come with us, but you don't have to go first. I can do everything once and, above all, I have to get my glasses fixed again today.

I've had to do it many times. They already look very good. I have the feeling that I can go to the forest. They look pretty good. Girls, I brought you too in the g, thank you very much, what do you really need? because if you really have it as a reconnaissance task, we need it to be able to defend ourselves, so we are far from being enlightened, but if they then see us, of course I need it with that. We are not such. an easy target for self-defense, if only for self-defense, for other purposes. Yes, I'm sitting as comfortable as you can of me, yes of me too because you can't go with me, why? there's not enough room there now and now he has to go out second at night, okay we'll take it, yeah hello, then there's the door, hey hello, two had good freedom, yeah, yeah, probably not that exciting like yours, I really want to finally get in this time.

You can always sniff, yes, and the other side says so, but you actually had a job. My job now would be to prepare it. bra and observation equipment or/that is why my position needs to be explored, but you can do it together with our clients. I'd like to take over your job now and have fun for both of us, thank you. , commander. Now I'll go. Only then will I go to the commander, which is exactly what I finally arrived at the commander's house. Now we have some peace here. Let's see what his job is here.

I feel like I am tasked with operating the weapon if necessary, the SMG, which is a big dream. But Fennec's real mission is also different or exactly Van Eck's real appearance is of course to provide reconnaissance without being seen and of course the gun. The effect is a little boring at first with the bra, so it becomes the viewing facility we have on top. Yes, the special thing is that inside there are two cameras and a rangefinder with which we can see up to ten kilometers. Until now, here too it is your job, that is my job, that is exactly what works on this device.

I would like to give you a warm welcome and here is the screen and behind it is the entire computer unit of this camera. we drive it behind enemy lines, then we have to survive alone for up to five days and then be in factorization while we are, as long as the Internet is alive there, so here, we basically live here or sometimes when we hide in the form of a hood together to him outside on the floor, but otherwise, everything happens here, but we are many other buttons and switches and what is everything for, from down here the gun is the gun.

It was a simple crank technology, so we are not yet modern enough to be able to control everything with the joystick. We still have to turn the cranks diligently. We also have a 1 80 device, so we have a thermal imaging device, the cable. it's also hanging on your side during the day of the conversation we communicate with in the vehicle it's probably quite loud when it's moving inside it's definitely very loud and there's a lot of people it's your turn here we fit three people so the driver is now way up front in the middle, that's all.

A special feature where you now sit is the commander who has the floor here in the vehicle. Here I have the task, as I said, of operating all of them. devices We could just exchange them. Yes, everyone here in the vehicle is trained so they can take any seat. It might be okay, we can't necessarily agree on the commander now, but there are situations where he gets off like now, for example. For example, then at least one person always stays in the vehicle and then he has control of the vehicle and what exactly is his task here, now we are here in an unusual way, that seemed quite wild then because we went into the bushes here and right now we crawl Go down first now the vehicle is taking off a little so you can't see it as well in parallel anymore Robert scans Bea's position Then go in and then look at the open space behind us and see if there are any enemies. movements The weather has turned a little worse again, but that does not matter to the reconnaissance officer.

I have already installed and, above all, chosen the place with the platoon driver and tripod mounted, now the optics are added. I hope it arrives around the corner Hello Robert Hello, I know I already did a bit of preparatory work, yes, I hope it corresponds to what you had in mind, that's great, everything is set up well, yes, we can work with that . now it's basically the same optics that he had on the vehicle that's exactly what's behind you now yeah that's the optics for it and that's just the tripod that he himself basically had on the vehicle but then we're no longer so mobile, which means we can help build a little on the side.

Yes, you have almost the same target vehicle. So from now on you will need exactly what you need. This now has the advantage that you don't have to carry two lenses. with you, but you can use what you already have again, which is exactly right, so it has the advantage of course that now we can put it somewhere here so that we don't have to open the vehicle somewhere here . this voluntary site where you can then see it as a small roll of the dice. That's really the be all and end all for you, for the reconnaissance officers, to not always be seen but always be able to see everything or whatever.

You have favorite areas where you would like to go immediately, where you hide, where you are far away. Preferably, of course, always in the forest or, above all, in the forest, where they cannot see you from above. , and of course not if you have a good view there, but this is not always the case, since now you can see the vehicle 30 meters behind us and looking from here, so the optics are here and the vehicle is hidden so that It doesn't look much, so I take the bread, I tilt my head or yes, it weighs a little bit, yes, that's a little bit harder, that's true, of course, adjust it a little bit now, yes, so let's look down here, you can see these holes, yes, and that has to go there later.

So to speak, I don't just mount the head and that's it, of course I also did something beforehand on the vehicle. and I set up what I was planning to do now, so I also have to say in the vehicle that it's no longer up and that I have it. Now I set everything up in one system. I'll configure it later. the vehicle with a compass, but how far away is it where we know everything about the vehicle? What do you need this data for? The vehicle actually needs the data to be able to determine where the optics are now. , I don't know if while I say and that we work there, he also uses coordinates, yes, and that would just completely falsify the data and finally you use these coordinates and transmit them, for example, for artillery support. for example, if you want to open the hatch, yes, with wipers, it really is just as nice, first of all, we can adjust that here, but that's great, beforehand you have done the fine adjustment exactly, the fine adjustment that is definitely in vertical position and tripods.

I can come. Since January I've already been looking at this screen, what you just did looks pretty idyllic, yes, everything is calm at the moment, yes, mom, now explain it, okay, so what's going on? looking for everything that moves, so the ops are tanks, whether they are just vehicles or maybe a normal soldier walking, that's all we want because here you have the black dot, for example, you can push it forward so that I It looks like a barrel at first and then the previous one we go back to the TV, no, that's one of those drinks, so anyway it's a potion for spicy people.

That's what you're looking at. What is happening in that. time, I think I have to report it now. Exactly the principle is to keep an eye on the enemy so that we do not completely lose him again because what we have seen once we do not give up again. I also clarified that an armored personnel carrier in this direction the lawyer could be around 600 ok, soon behave in cross movement from right to left, everything is clear, that means superior enemy, we have to evade alpha back to the area of vehicle power, we prepare to Marchen as quickly as possible and flow according to my orders.

There I am. I will report if for the attack in today's training situation, an enemy reconnaissance tank has detected the Fennecs. Now the only thing that helps is a quick evasion. Now we are back. from the military training area here in the vehicle room, but before entering the hot shower, it's time to follow up, that is, now we have to clean all the weapons that were with us very carefully and I also have to look How long have you been doing this? How long have you been here? I've been here since 2016, so of course you first have to go through basic training like any other soldier.

It's also been three months. complete and then there is also special basic training, so again the specialization in the reconnaissance itself and then there is another advanced training which is the specialized vehicle, what would you say you can do? The most exciting thing about your job, so what? What do you enjoy most or what makes your job particularly fun? Of course, when you get to the first place like we did today and you can go over your situations a little bit and think about everything again. This is what is really special about the job. is that you can do many things independently.

You don't have to be able to do things independently, whether in the vehicle or outside the vehicle. You have already been on a mission abroad and, in fact, you are still not yourself, but me. I'm still waiting for that or what awaits me. At the moment there is no exact data, so they are deployed everywhere. Scouts are in demand today, especially in Afghanistan. Now we help a little with the washing, cleaning and then. clear us and I would say next time and if you have anything new, write it in the comments and make sure to give us a like, see you next time on stage and on

tour
