  1. I was referring to your vision of the height of the special armor cavity. In your drawings, it stops at the heigh of the welding seam between the top and the lower front hull plates.
  2. This thing is as long as a TOG II.
  3. How does the T-80 transmission differs from those of the T-64/72 ?
  4. Vickers MARRS (Modular Armored Repair & Recovery System), the basic idea is that a MBT (here a Patton) can be quickly converted into an ARV at less than half the cost of a new purpose-built ARV.
  5. I'm nostalgic about the Teledyne Continental Motors armored gun system (it's the modified General Dynamics Land Systems-Teledyne Continental Motors AGS on the picture below)
  6. That is not quite true, Belgian and French 90 mm low-pressure gun can actually fire APFSDS and high-velocity HEAT rounds. The French even designed APFSDS for their mortars...
  7. Good but not exceptional, the work is somewhat uneven, providing good details on the Omani Challenger 2 but very few about the engine and the ammunition, for example. It's complementary to the book of Simon Dunstan.
  8. Its SOFAM SAVIEM 8GxB was a flat-eight engine. Pictures courtesy of @DarkLabor
  9. I thought that this engine only existed in Challenger 2 fans wet dreams.
  10. What is the difference between the MT-883 Ka-500 and the MT-883 Ka-501 ?
