Looks like that Iranian "Zulfiqar", although I can't believe anyone would paint a tank that colour, or at least not one of their own :-?
Well it's got to be one on the early cruisers, so anyone of the CS variants of the A9 A10 or A13 fit that description.
The Sentinel had pretty much the same quick-release setup as used on the Crusader (to which it owes a great deal), Valentine, Matilda etc. It's...
Sounds familar, I've heard somthing like WW1 100,000 per soldier killed, WW2 200,000 per soldier killed, Vietnam 250,000 per soldier killed. But...
And the 20 pounder at 83.4mm, the Brits went metric after that.
It's been tried a few times in various configurations, the US M6 Heavy tank with a 76mm and a 37mm gun, the german Maus with a 128mm and a 75mm,...
Probably Chobham/Dorchester(whatever you want to call it). The Americans have apparently given a great deal of information to Israel of the years,...
It probably didn't do much because chances are it's practice ammo they were using. The web address is Danish, so the language most likely is too....
Its possible that this 70 calibre optimum length applies to full calibre projectiles, subcalibre rounds will be accelerated faster and possibly...
No, that sounds about right to me. The M41 is only protected by about an inch of armour plate, easily vulnerable to both the MkIII and MkV 6...
Israel still gets quite a bit of US aid/funding which comes with a lot of strings attached and since the Merk development was partially funded by...
Blaster, spin stablisation is still the most effective method of stablising the vast majority of projectiles regardless of size. Small arms, long...
Sounds like a pretty good solution to me. There should be a little more room in the M3 and the side doors would make for slightly easier entry and...
It was abandoned for a number of reasons, US Lend-Lease wasn't especially happy with the diversion of labour from railway works to tank production...
No he meant the US. There weren't enough Pattons available so the US bought Centurions from the UK and leased them to the Netherlands and a couple...
Ome_Joop, that sounds about right. Just beware that nominal strength indicates what a unit should have, not what it actually has, but then why...
I don't know, it can't have been many. A lot of AFVs went for scrap a the end of the war and apparently these were pulled from junk yards and up...
Re: Up-gunning the Ram That's not quite how it was seen at the time. The Sherman has a 69" turret ring and the Ram has only 60", the M4 then had...
Very nice, thanks Merlin.
The british great war tanks had thier fuel tanks external to the crew compartment at least, so that if hit it wouldn't incinerate the crew....
