A vaporware, unfortunately, but...

Is that the M-95?

 

[Aldarion]

Is that the M-95?

M-95 Degman, yes.

EDIT:

It would be interesting to see how the M-84 would be modernized if the Yugoslavia stayed together via ASB intervention.

Not hard to see... in fact, Degman was developed from precisely such a modernization. I present to you M-90 Vihor:

Centuries from now the mighty FT-17 will still be remembered as one of the most revolutionary tank designs in history and a predecessor of modern tanks. But what will be lost to history in the interim?

Look at all of those revolutionary features the FT-17 introduced!

Is it's name by chance the Metal Slug?

US Army will retire Striker MGS

Army to retire older Stryker vehicle variant

 

[Zachowon]

Huh.
Wonder what will replace it

 

[PsihoKekec]

They will probably rely more on the Hellfire variant for the direct fire support.

 

[Typhonis]

Behold a relic from the '80s!

Known to Twilight 2000 enthusiasts as the LAV 75. It's the RDF Light Tank.

There is a right way to do artillery demonstration, wrong way and Indian way.

Well, they bought a load of Bofors guns in the 80's(the contract was cancelled after it was found Bofors bribed the Indian offcials - the gun on the video is an Indian-built derivation of the Bofors FH-77 design). Maybe they bought some trolls along with the guns?

The Abrams doesn't need such tactics.

 

[PsihoKekec]

Actually it can be very useful when doing hull down in uneven terrain. You can't just presume that you will never meet a weapon that can penetrate your armor.

Article detailing the personalization done to American tanks over the years, starting with the famous 'Cobra King' a Sherman tank of the 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division that led the battalion into Bastogne on Christmas Day in 1944 and ending with an M1A1 Abrams tank dubbed 'New Testament' which was stationed at Haditha Dam during the Iraq War and ree'd many people because it used biblical based graffiti on a war machine.

American Graffiti: A Look at How Tankers Have Prepared Their Armor for Battle

Tanks have been used throughout American military history to turn the tide in some of the toughest battles in the most austere terrain. While they are a powerful and necessary machine, they are essentially just a tool that is brought to life by the crew members who operate them.
