Green water is coastal sea. Basically marine APCs are supposed to to be able to cross considerable distances on water and against strong current sacrificing some combat capabilities, while regular APCs with flotation capabilities have lesser flotation capabilities for the sake of combat capabilities.

Also BMMP is a terrible eyesore.

Spoiler: Might need eyebleach

I am at loss / can't understand your last phrase.

'Green Water' is also known as 'coastal'...

Basically that while floating is a desirable characteristic it doesn't need to do so for more than a few minutes at a time so it should have a different armor configuration that protects more from impacts and mines than one optimized for navigation in large bodies of deep water.

In fact considering that one of the main threats its going to be facing are antitank weapons from concealed and dug-in infantry the frontal inferior section becomes a juicy target for RPGs and LAW missiles. The ideal configuration for its armor should be the vehicles in the lower extremes of the chart.

What about the eitan?

 

[TheRejectionist]

No, an artist that I regularly correspond with made it. He might not always answer right away but he gets the job done.

Does he do commissions or requests?

Not really right now...

Brazilian Sherman Tanks circa 1960's.

Among the fourteen "new" armored artifacts arriving at US Army Armor & Cavalry Collection is an Italian M13/40 from the World War Two era.



No doubt in a few years it will be pressed into service during the post-Apocalyptic phase of World War III.

Defense Ministry unveils 3 prototypes for Israel’s tanks of the future old but gold from the land of milk and honey?

The K2 Black Panther on paper its currently the best tank in the world however until its proven in battle it will be a question mark. The design of this tank does have me convinced the next US tank will likely use an autoloader though, Mostly so it can more easily be made into a UGV.

We should buy it instead of american shit.Unfortunatelly,ruling party do everything USA want.

Poland could have built these under license which while the deal might of been a bit sucky it would allow for the Poles to gain a lot of experience with more modern designs. I don't know why they decided to go with buying Abrams, While its certainly a proven tank those bastards are getting way too heavy and are basically at their limit for further upgrades.

Indeed.It is sad,but when USA say jump,our leaders ask how high.
And opposition do the same to Putin and Berlin.
We could choose between american puppets and german occupation.

Basically a Vietnam War era Laser Tank! 😛



Apparently it shot down a pair of drones in weapons testing back in 1976 but the concept for this platform was originally to be riverborne, laser blasting sneaky Vietnamese Snipers HIDING IN THE TREES!

The US has been ahead of the game.
What do me and @Sailor.X keep twlling yall

Though, sometimes it is far too ahead of its grasp... that is if the USAF isn't trying to screw them over...

Now how do we mount it to a Gavin, or Toyota Tundra?

Those are the important questions.

Meanwhile, Venezuela decide to revive Ontos concept, now on the AMX-13 chassis

 

[ShadowArxxy]

The sights on those vehicles are super ghetto -- they're literally Dragunov sniper rifle sights with digital video cameras strapped to them.

Something like the older generations of tanks having coaxial machine guns loaded with ammunition with identical ballistic profile to the main gun so tracers hitting a tank would be followed by the main gun shooting an armor piercing round.

It's practical and cheaper than an integrated targeting system, the main drawback is that the other guys get to know your'e aiming at them before you kill them and if they realize the shooting is not coming from a random sniper then they probably answer with an anti-tank missile or worse.
