    Look, if you think of the Booker more are tank destroyer, and less like a MBT or even LT, it's design makes much more sense.

    So at least one Hetzer continues to Hetz.

    ...this is just...why did Warthunder/Wargaming camo mods have to become actual battlefield things.

    Gotta say, that new turret for the M-60s is looking pretty spiffy.

    Give Ukraine some time and they can probably figure out how to put a Grad launcher on a Gavin.

    Behold, the Gavin-BMP.

    And yet a Russian refinery got blyat'd by a drone the Ruskie's apparently either didn't see coming, or thought was their own.

    Because ATGMs aren't the only sort of exotic munition that can be gun-launched; having gun-launched anti-drone/SHORAD missiles or gun-launched drones for tanks are possible.

    Pretty sure Israel has had some successes with gun-launched missiles, and we already have the Excalibur shell, which is almost a gun-launched missile, except it has no rocketmotor. See, I can agree that a mortar-launcher might be a better option, but gun launched missiles have worked for other...

    Gun-launched missiles and drones; those few extra millimeters might not mean much for a shell, but for a small drone or gun-launched missile, it could open up new options.

    Because now Finland and Sweden are looking to be in NATO.

    I'm rather surprised they dared to call it a Panther, after how much Germany wants to distance itself from WW2. Though given the original Panther was the first true MBT as we know them today, I guess it is somewhat fitting.

    It's not a bad video, but he seems to be focusing on 'missile vs tank' 'missile vs APS' and not factoring in drone-spotted arty. Tank vs missile is a fight APS can win right now, or at least break even on. However, drone+SPG seems to have more value than a traditional 'heavy armor' from what...

    I disagree that those sorts of systems will be that effective at countering drones, at least competently handled drones, in the current state of affairs. Now it we were to go full GDI and effectively create Mammoth Tanks with integrated anti-air capability and enough armor to shrug off anything...

    Plus, with the new drone warfare paradigm, heavy armor is likely going to be going the way of the battleship; theoritically useful in limited circumstances, but effectively outmoded by advances in air power. Better to focus on mobility, firepower, and active protection systems for things like...

    Now how do we mount it to a Gavin, or Toyota Tundra? Those are the important questions.
