I don't get it why do the Russians keep showing their tanks flying true the air?

Its just plain wrong it's a TANK damnit its supposed to drive around the battlefield and blow stuff up, not fly around like some silly bird

you know that the israelis lost a shitload of merkavas in the last war with the hizbollah - a great number was destroyed by russian kornet missiles

also, that girl is..."strange". she says she rather wants to sit to the left or right and not right in the middle of the tank - well, seeing as the front part is the most armored and the sides are less armored, i actually would rather sit in the front.

But if it was Russian derived armour, I'd probubly go for the T-84

if it has to be russian, black eagle ftw:

(also the best looking russian tank)

challenger to only if they finally get rid of the rifled gun

probably to show how good the suspension is and how agile and fast those things are

The BE is certainly very impressive, but its not operational yet, which is why I chose the T-84. But yes, with its crewless turret and what is roumoured to be a very big gun (some sources say up to 152mm!) and the usual Russian traits of being very fast and having a powerful armament it may well be one of the best offensive tanks in the world. However, on the defensive I'd still probuby pick a western designed tank.

The L30A1 is being replaced with the Rheinmetall L55, so the rifling is finally going from British MBTs. The British Army has finally gotten over it's fetish for HESH rounds in the AT role, it would seem.

they already decided on that, i thought the decision was still "pending".


btw, does anyone know something about the new south korean mbt, k2 or so, supposed to be teh kickass-tank ever

[robbo]

If it from South Korea i seriously doubt it will be kick ass, i await to be proven wrong.
