This is the translation of the long Hungarian book what Molnibalage made in cooperation with other guys for ex. with Hpaps, he is well known for the SamSim.
This is the whole, in Hungarian: click here

Because these chapters (booklets) just a part of a big book are some parts in the document which refer to content of the book in other chapters. Slowly the whole book will be translated, but it could take years to finish it.

Have a good reading! 

This seems like a blatant move to make their terrifying hell-creature less horrific by familiarity.
 
It doesn't work, frankly.

F**k me.....This is gonna be priceless!

Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

You love me really! 
 
Plus, if you will let Brits on your forum, you gotta account for our sense of humour.....But in all honesty the US just doesn't do socialism in any meaningful sense (what you guys think of as 'left wing' is pretty much 'centre-right' from a European perspective, slightly less so in the UK since the Blairite infestation of our left), so asking you for a definition of it is kind of like asking a Kalahari Bushman to define the advantages of Windows 10 over rival operating systems (no offence). 

An internet fight-to-the-death with the Admin only ends one way lol

To an American conservative, almost any program that uses taxes to pay non-government-employees or contractors is socialism, because American conservatives believe in the slippery slope principle that any successful move leftward will only result in more movement leftward.

What is your definition of 'socialism' exactly?
 
Because I've learnt from bitter experience that what people refer to as 'socialism' differs wildly.

I am not a fan of Sprut, but there is not much in Russia AFV collection quite like it. Yes, it needs some sort of soft kill and hard kill APS, because of no armor and high price of each vehicle (T-90A level of money AFAIK)
 
 
For Tankers day in Sholokhovo local comrades build this...

Dude they don't need to be told to do that. 

Dude they don't need to be told to do that. 

The problem is that there isn't a lot of actual investigative journalists left. There are 'web managers' like the dufus mentioned above who pull tweets and bits and bites off social media, and that is what is called reporting these days.  Media concentration and lack of actual investigative journalism is much of what is wrong with the media these days. Nobody can be bothered with who, what, where, why and when anymore.  Just grab a quote from someones social media and manufacture outrage to get clicks.
 

Oh no:

my point is that the both the Sherman driver's and commander's optics can be retoated, while the Tiger's cant. Hell the Tiger only has slits on his cupola, that cant be rotated and leave alot of blind spots

There was a discussion on Tanknet about this particular Centurion. I believe it to be one of the Jordanian Centurions knocked out in 1973. 

The Cent has none of the fittings for ERA, so it's probably a wreck from the YKW or earlier. Both the Israelis and the Jordanians used the Cent in that war, so there would likely have been a few hulks left over in Syria.

We had wondered this before and came to the conclusion that it was likely a derelict from one of the past conflicts on the Israeli-Syrian border in Deraa (acquired after the fighting there.)  The Russians just took it and a whole bunch of other vehicles back for their display.

Just for you, Kondensator's tube vs. a M48A3 hull, both in 1/72:
 
 

North Korea military parade. New SPG and ATGM carrier (posted them in Artillery and long range ATGM thread), everything else we already saw in previous parades.
