Do you know any autoloader that would fit in the turret and house 42 120x570mm NATO shells? Or preferably 130mm. Because I am having a hard time designing an autoloader that accomplishes this.

Has this layout ever been considered? Instead of placing the engines in the sponsons, we could place the electric motors in the sponsons, and in this way have a rear sprocket drive while also having a front mounted engine, or wherever you want. (Gearbox is a reduction gear). Also, has a industrial robot arm like autoloader ever been considered? It would be quite flexible and be able to use normal racks like a loader. And do we have a place for discussing autoloader designs?

And everyone from Nordic countries. ADL really hates vikings. I remember Sweden also being tricked into thinking ok sign is for white power, that milk is racist and so on.

"WASHINGTON — The U.S. now has blood and urine samples from last Saturday's deadly attack in Syria that have tested positive for chemical weapons, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/mideast/u-s-has-blood-samples-show-nerve-agent-syria-gas-n865431 Norwegian Media used this as a source, though it lacks a source itself.

It is actually stupendously easy to buy a ABC-like suit: https://hansenprotection.no/landbruk-industri/beskyttelsesdrakter/index.html Costs 2300NOK, roughly 300 USD. These types of suits give full protection against chemicals. Considering all the drones they can afford, they defiantly could afford these suits.

This guy. First off, Shouldn't he be wearing full NBC equipment? Like this: Second, Isn't his hair causing gaps in the seal between the mask and the head? OR THIS?!: It looks like he has a huge gap on the left side of his head. So either the gas is gone already, or he is very lucky.

Does anyone know what type of motors and controllers used in the elevation/traverse mechanism, as well as the fire control system in the Leopard 2? - For example, does the electric version use a stepper motor, BLDC, PM, Induction or synchronized motor? - Do they employ dynamic or DC injection breaks? - If mechanical breaks are used, are they spring-loaded? Do they run on AC or DC? -Is regenerative breaks used? -Is the controller a simple on/off, soft starter, transformer or solid state controller? -Does the hydraulic system require breaks? -Does the fire control system directly control the motors, or through the controls of the operator?

I guess the Chinese ZTQ fits this. And maybe the Type 10. Though I can't really find anything extraordinary about the Panzer 61 or 68. In short, a AFV capable of traversing rocky fields at a practical speed, capable of climbing steep slopes and driving at angles. It needs to preform well in swamps, mud or snow, being able to traverse terrain common MBTs can not. It needs to be small, it has to be able to use the old infrastructure and poor roads of the mountains. This pretty much excludes all Israeli AFVs since they tend to be large and heavy, the opposite of what you want. Being amphibious or having the ability to ford small rivers on the move is advantageous. The idea is to have the mobility to outmaneuver and ambush enemy forces which are forced to use main roads and predictable paths. What makes it stand out?

General question, has there ever been AFVs or tanks built for fighting in mountainous terrain?
