It has no hunter/killer capability?

The commander is the gunner.

Think of it as a CROWS with a 30mm/7.62mm gun instead of a 12.7mm gun.

XM1296 Infantry Carrier Vehicle – Dragoon

I guess it has neither of the sights MM and I argued about.

Late response, but yeah, that's the autoloader style/blowout panels used in the Type-96A/B series.

 

Obvoiusly going by the graphics, you're almost always going to lose at least 1 man in a penetration scenario, but better that then the entire crew.

When I asked about this picture on another forum a while ago I was told that it was redesign of the T-72 called 龙 (Dragon).

You don't think there's a significant risk of violence from right-wing groups if Hillary and the Democrats sweep the Presidency, House, and Senate, and appoint Democratic justices to the SCOTUS, and thereby take control of every facet of government for eight years and possibly deal the death blow to the Republican party and conservative movement as we know it?

I dunno, I don't really share your optimism.

To quote Dilbertman.

 

On average, Democrats use guns for shooting the innocent. We call that crime.

On average, Republicans use guns for sporting purposes and self-defense.

Ok on my second watch, the missile flew over the engine deck and and hit dead center on the turret rear.

I hope you guys are not basing your opinion on polls like the Arizona one that sampled D+34 in an R+5 state.

Oops.

At an unspecified time, disclosed before Trump even announced his candidacy.

But hey, that totally invalidates Democrat operatives admission of electoral fraud and instigating violence.

Is it bad that the first thing I notice is the lady in the red dress?

Well, I didn't intend to shit stir so have the dinner roast that both Trump and Hillary attended tonight.

Obama emails now.

BAE does intend to offer a modernized M8 for MPF.

The Modified Tank Ammunition IMI M152/6 HEAT - AP - T

Basically a fuse swap that turns a 105mm HEAT into an airburst round.

Includes a bit of info about APAM.

According to Fofanov and Kotsch:

Svinets was a research topic, not a mass produced APFSDS. It is the longest Soviet APFSDS capable to be fired from the existing Soviet autoloaders used on the T-72 and T-80. Fofanov uses the names "Svinets-1" and "Lekalo" for the same type of ammunition, but he uses a different designation (3BM-42M projectile in assembly 3BM44M), which is not used for Svinets-1 in other sources. Kotsch calls the 3BM-42M "Mango-M" instead, which makes some sense since 3BM-42 (without "M") is the "Mango" APFDSDS.

The 3BM-39 Anker (not Ankor) was designed with a special sabot for the 2A66 (D-91T) gun of the Object 187 tank, which is fitted with a muzzle break. This required a special sabot design. Given that the 2A66 gun never was adopted, the Anker round was probably never adopted in service.

Thank you.

I am surprised that there had not been a mass produced round since Vant and Mango.

Was 'Svinets' mass produced? And is it short enough that older autoloaders can use it?

Was 'Lekalo' mass produced?

Is 'Lekalo' another name for 'Svinets-1/Svinets-2'?

Was 'Anker' just an expermental round?
