I know it's asked a lot but Is it possible to" immobilize " a Tank like "T-62" with something around 10 of old pineapple hand grenades?
It is a story in Iran and Iraq war a 13 year old boy destroyed a Iraq's tank by throwing him self under the tank with a belt of hand grenades I was wondering if it's possible or it's was just some Propaganda during war "Sorry of my bad english and grammar"
OR
Me and my friend were having a debate on whether the howitzer or and gun on the Sherman can pen a Abrams. Thoughts?
Thanks for whoever answer Asking for a video, if not interested just skip This isn't about politics or war I just want the video cause I like the sound of heavy tanks moving
First can someone suggest good books regarding tank armament, armour and mobility Second, Can someone help me finding 2 specific videos about T72 on move One was being watched by parallel car and the tank was running on 120 km/m And the other was in Mariupol being followed by Patrick Lancaster
Wondering if it’s legal to own a training round (blue tip) 25 MM Bradley round, own and sell, or are they strictly for military use only
That whole row all of them have a double barrel added,is the second one a fake or could an unknown ongoing modification of the AMX-13 ???
What would be the argument against a modern tank with 1-2 crew members. I get in the past this may have not been feasible but we certainly have the technology to do it today. I just imagine one or 2 people deciding where to drive and or what to shoot to be a lot less complicated. I think the 2 man option would be most effective. kind of a hunter killer set up, the vehicle operator drives and works the gun and the commander sets waypoints and identifies targets. You could also have a switch that allows the commander to take control of the gun when needed. My logic is rather than telling 2 people what to do to accomplish one combined task, it would be better to have one person with one thinking mind accomplish both in a more seamless fashion.
so i wanna recreate every major german tank (so every one that got a new panzer number or had major changes done to them for example the stug 3 e ---> f) since the 30s in sprocket and started with the panzer 1 and i just can't find the individual hull/turret height only both added together. If anyone can help me out that'd be much appreciated.
The Interdimensional Combat Unit is a military and peacekeeping force that works under the Interdimensional Council to respond to mandates and interventions passed by the Interdimensional Council. It is a clone army of beings similar to humans.
Their armored vehicles are maneuverable, agile, and (most importantly) cheap. They were produced by the lowest bidder.
An APC from the (now destroyed) 12th independent Armoured Corps
This APC is light, easy to maintain, and easily produced, unfortunately, it is simply not built for the purpose of fighting against eldritch horrors or conventional enemies, such as those from the 40,000 millennium. It is armed with a .50 cal, has a crew of 2.
It serves with the mechanized, armoured and assault units of the ICU.
A tank from the (now destroyed) 12th independent Armoured Corps
The need for fire support for the ICU resulted in the production of the tank variant of the APC, the hull holds the same armour as the APC, however the turret is of a new design, and as such has been uparmoured as much as the design allows for it. Its main cannon can take many types of ammunition. This particular tank serves many roles, from fire support to a provisional main battle tank, as the ICU attempts to simplify finances as much as it can. It has a crew of 4.

Found this illustration online of a m26 if anyone has info about it I would appreciate it (I don’t know if it’s fictional but I think it’s of a real tank)
