Bronezhilet got a reaction from TokyoMorose in Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) and Euro Main Battle Tank (EMBT)
Don't hide behind "muh secret data" too quickly since a lot of things aren't actually that secret. You'd think that the external ballistic performance of M829A1 would be secret, but whoopsy daisy it's not.
Effectiveness of cage armour? We know.
APFSDS interception methods of APS and its effectiveness? We know and we can figure it out fairly accurately.
Effectiveness of Nozh? We know.
Terminal ballistics of HEAT jets? We know.
Effectiveness of ERA? We know.
Seriously, a lot of information is buried in papers or can be gleaned from papers. But the average military enthusiast can't be arsed to read through thousands upon thousands of pages of information to find interesting tidbits of information.

Nope!
It's a DAF YAZ-2300 'Mad Max'.
When it was clear that the Netherlands army had to operate in ex-Yugoslav republics not much was known about the possible dangers. So in 5 weeks a unit called "770 Hrstcie" (770 repair company) build 20 armoured cabs for the YAZ-2300 which could be lifted over the cab by its own crane. The armoured cab itself was constructed with polymer plates in a steel frame. After it became clear that these cabs did not provide sufficient protection they were used as static emplacements for an encampment in Santici. At least two variants existed.

Since nobody got it, I'll finish this one off. It's the Martel "Mechanical Coffin". Page 47, David Fletcher's book "Mechanized Force: British Tanks Between the Wars". Martel had created some of the early tankettes in the late 1920's, but after a while, he decided those were too big. So he created this silly thing. A soldier was supposed to lay down in it and drive forward. Once he got close to the enemy, it had a lift up panel he would use as armor and fire his rifle through.

Correct.
Also correct.
You got it. It's in the American Armoured [sic] Foundation Tank Museum in Danville, VA. I tried to hide the vehicle beside it since it's kind of iconic.

No idea. I mean, it's not like you can't do it, and it'll work, but its not like 2 bunker busters in the same spot will go twice as deep as 1. As for the actual effectiveness: No idea.

It's like Nexter and KMW looked at when General Dynamics slapped an Abrams turret on an M60 hull and said "we can do something even dumber!"
