Already used for horribly fat people. But then, TOG II is too heavy for what it offers....

I think this one gives a better notion of the dimensions of the mobile pool.
The Desert Warrior, Britain's only successful foreign export of the Warrior IFV, to Kuwait. The Desert Warrior has a different turret, mounting a 25mm autocannon with a coax 7.62mm machine gun and a single TOW Launcher on either side.

The fact they didn't even bother to repaint it from the Syrian cammo, shows the opinion Russian army has about the BMPT.

The BMPT is a solution looking for a problem. Is very good if used in action movies, btw.

I think the company that created the BMPT has already tried 2-3 times to sell it to the Russian army, only to be rejected. Thing is, apparently the Russian military feels they can't offend that company too much, so there hasn't been a 'stop insisting on this' message yet.

Funny video about the Char 2C.
At an VFA I'm guessing?Retiree..
I cannot tell if that's a short 76mm gun, or one of the longer 75mm guns.
The Sherman's never had a short 76..

It's a long 75mm, there were no short 76mm guns in the US arsenal.

I should have expected that really
I'd guess either an early M4A3 or a late M4A2, hard to tell without seeing the engine deck which is the giveaway for the A2. It has the more angled hull which is a mark of early tanks, but it also has the cast instead of bolted nose, and that turret is a later design. A lot of them were modified in their lives so it could be a real frankenstein of mixed and matched parts 
That is a 75mm gun which was okay, but the long 76 was much better. Not as much punch as its German or British contemparies but it was considered the most accurate gun of the era

More accurate than the 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70? That one has a very good rep.
