  1. So this is very old Soviet AA 37mm cannon. Photos from Jhobar.
  2. Merkava layout with engine in the front and ammunition in the back creates higher requirements for side armor. In T-14 "full" side armor cover capsule and autoloader, while engine is not as well protected from sides as autoloader or crew. This means saved weight. In Merkavas armor layout is dictated by a need to cover crew compartment, ammunition, and frontal part of tank. This can lead to higher weight of a tank in general. Maybe thats why they don't really change suspension, that partially work as armor, while still being suspension. If they would have used torsion bars, big amount of lower side surface/space would have been free to mount armor, but maybe because of the additional weight of that armor they never bothered with those changes.
  3. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/10/14/official-russia-deliberately-targeting-us-backed-forces-in-syria/ This feels like surreal circus from pages of Cold War era newspaper.

  5. So, one thing that bothers me - why ammunition storage between cre compartment and engine is almost never used in tanks designs? Maybe because it is harder to provide reliable work for blow-out panels?
  6. Some time ago we had an agreement with Germany. They were sending to us their "difficult" teenagers, while we were moving them into remote Siberian villages, far from civilization and Facebooks. And it worked! I bet that we can find more of those remote Siberian villages, so others can send their hippies to be remade in hands of both Mother Nature and Mother Russia. When their urine will become ice and bears teeths will be inside of their drug-filled trashbins that some people can mistakenly call "body", only then we can start to hope that at least some of them will survive and have a chance to become a human. And i hope that many others will be eaten by bears and wolves, will be frozen to death or die from eating snow 7 days non-stop. At least this is how USSR was fighting Soviet hippies and thats why there is almost no hippies in Russia.
