Except with 105 mm low recoil gun it is not a much of a tank destroyer, these days you either go for 120 mm or for missiles. With modern day technology they could have done much better job at this weight.

Actually, I find it believable, this was Warsaw Pact military and if we learned anything from the true successor of WP - Russia, such things happen and once the cameras became common they were documented as well, although I'm in no mood to browse through Russian dashcam (and mobile phone) videos...

Train vs vehicle - armored edition Although M109 is technically not a tank

There were prototypes? I thought the entire project was still in the conceptual phase when Chauchescu fell. In their T-55 variant they extended the hull to fit new engine and transmission so it would make sense it would be the same with T-72 copy.

Ukrainian engineering was not up to task, so we will never know if Polish factories were up to task or not.

There is a reason why that thing died in prototype phase, they could never get it to work well enough to be production ready.

It does not, the walls are still there, but workforce is long gone as is most of the tooling, if USA decides to start building tanks again, it will be starting almost from scratch (other plants building IFVs does keep some relevant skills alive).

Also M-36, if we count WWII era vehicles.

Reminds me of that ISU-152 that was left at the entrance to the town in Ukraine for decades and it was brought into running condition buy couple of local guys

And still there were not enough of them for their needs, hence all the Marders (also not enough of them).

Interesting fact, the last of these IVs were knocked out trying to take the road bridge over Drava river in Dravograd on the 12th and 13th of May 1945 But they never had enough of them

OK, that could be one explanation, they made a normal turret at first, but then Lizzo sat on it.

The horror, the horror. Was sabra upgrade too jewish for them and they had to conceive this unholy abomination to wash off the stain?

I think the early versions indeed had a hull MG, this one is probably Besa MG that was used in Pz-38t and all British tanks. Funny thing, when the Brits licensed Vz-26, the British changed the caliber to .303, but with Besa they kept the original 7,92x57 caliber, thus needlessly introducing yet...

Looks to me like three different alt-history upgrades of Type 74 tank.

Because due to corrosive influence of white patriarchy they refused to send them to the frontlines, saving them as force of the last resort, but cowardly gaijin nukes precluded their deployment. The more progressive members of the military understood that if they fully embraced the schoolgirl...

Tank communications in 1917-18

I keep forgetting that the British never bothered with laser detector.

The dig came up empty, they relied on foggy memories of one guy and it turns out that's not a good thing.

Nope, Turkish military did not develop anything, Sabra is Israeli development and some components for the upgrade are still imported from Israel, given the downturn in relations between the two countries, it makes sense for them to turn to domestic industry.
