From a 1976 US report on Soviet Tank Company Tactics comes this rather unconvincing artists rendition of the T-72.

Ooops.

Jordan has introduced a new heavy APC based on the Centurion.  Since the back of the vehicle is taken up by the powerpack, the infantry enter and exit the vehicle through the front.  This seems like a bad idea to me...

 

 

No. There's a 450mm tall door to the left of the powerpack in the rear. The front door is larger, though -- 750mm wide and little over 1m tall. While it is easier to use the front door, there's still a mini back door.

 

The "father" of this APC, the "Temsah/تمساح" (Crocodile or Alligator) APC had the engine in the front, and had a conventional rear door. It did not have any customers though. The Temsah is from 2002 or so. I don't remember, sorry.

 

 

Actually, disregard that. I was talking about the older model of this APC. The new version (the one in the picture) is smaller and has no rear door. It's better protected, though. Got confused, sorry.

 

Old version of it:

 

 

(MAP II/Dawsar) MAP = Modular Armored Platform. It's from 2014.

 

Temsah:

 

 

2001.

Those poor bastards. They'll be running up against trained killers in Toyota HiLux pickups.

 

They don't stand a chance.

Hey guys, check out this "ultra realistic" computer generated model of a US M2 Medium tank from a cable TV documentary.

 

[SuperComrade]

Oh, that's from Killer Tanks. Yeah, the 3d models were very hit or miss

Wow, such add-on armor

[Sturgeon]

A cheap and easy way to cause HEAT rounds to fuse early!

[Bronezhilet]

Except that's not a very smart thing to do, unless you can manage to get around a meter of stand-off.
