The guys who made the film "USS Indianapolis" (starring Nicolas Cage) would like you to hold their beer while they proceed to lower the bar. 
 

 
For some reason, that Portland-class cruiser was in the middle of mutating into an Iowa when the Japanese decided to voice their disapproval.
 
So...yeah, the CGI guys are occasionally capable of utter blasphemies that simply elude our understanding. Sorry for the naval digression, I just felt I had to post it in response to Conner Webb's statement.

Probably works better than a real Pz IV suspension.

His anecdote about the pressure sensor on the bustle ammunition compartment's sliding door was fascinating. I love those little-known details.
 
And lucky for him, too. Having your arm crushed by a quarter-ton slab of steel sounds like an extremely bad, career-ending day.

I can't believe people still claim A and B variant are "handicapped" because of B's lift fan. Is googling "F-35 variants" so flipping hard?!
I mean, it may have been a funny meme once upon a time, but by god has it overstayed its welcome.
 
edit:
I've decided to make this and leave it here, maybe someone might find it useful.

Leopard 2RI MBT

Claimed videos that were prepared for "chemical attack" in Idlib, with White Helmets saving vistims of gas attack by shower. Several scenarios were done, part of them in this video:

Ok, Japan, you... just stop.

T-80 - The Best tank ever made by USSR.
NOT BY YOU, Kharkovites!
 

 
    After everybody understood that Kharkovites can't build a tank that work well enough for the Last War of the Humanity, the Leningrad designers started to work on their view of a battle tank that can actually fight and win. They saw a main problem with T-64 - it was slow, too slow to do the job. What job you may ask? To disperse capitalism particles in the air, of course!
 
   According to scientific work of the professor Ivan Rasputin Drinkovodkavich the air of the capitalist countries were full of capitalism particles, which would resist incursion of the socialists tanks by creating a strong resistance force and they will block any attempts to build communism in this area, as people will breathe this capitalism-soaked air and this would infect their minds by ideas of free markets and useless things that they usually sell. In order to combat this, a fast-moving tank was needed, that could displace air so fast, that particles of capitalism would be ejected from it and a path for cammunism particles would be open.
 
   LKZ engineers understood that, and were working hard to build such vehicle, that could destroy westerners mercenary armies, blow away capitalism-infected air and fill it with Particles of Communism. Kirov factory workers also understood that the only way to finally kill Kharkovite abomination was to sabotage it by creating their new tank from the T-64 tractor. And the work began, until in 1976 their first itteration of their new Best tank was adopted by Soviet army!
 
 
T-80 (Object 219) - the saboteur, destroyer of the T-64
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
The T-80B (Object 219R) - toppling the T-64 Czar!
(yes, straight to the T-80B, without making T-80A, remember that, Kharkovites)
 
   It is a time to hit Kharkovites right in their fat belly! Their patrons did not noticed how Leningrad managed to grow a new tank just under their noses! Only Kirov factory knows how to make Best tanks, and not those Kharkovites, who want to sell Socialist achievments of USSR to those soulless Westerners. Leningrad will support the Fatherland with their tanks, superior to those untrustworthy Kharkovites crude creations! And who the hell put 40 tons tank on such puny rollers anyway?!
 


    
 
 
 
 
The T-80BV (Object 219RV) - if you kick it, it explode you!
A Hedgehog with explosive needles, try that Reagan!
 

 
   Kirov factory knows how to defeat enemy anti-tank weapons that try to explode Socialism-spreading machines of Brezhnev - explode them before they can explode you! Strap Kontakt-1 ERA everywhere and laugh at those puny westerners, freaked out by a tank that kick their shells back at them!
        The T-80U (Object 219AS) - Ultimate Soviet Guards Battle Tank to deliver free healthcare to your country!        T-80U. It is easy to spot and hard to confuse with anything Kharkovites made, before they created their Kharkovite-80UD, an attempt to undermine BEST SOVIET TANK. YOU KHARKOVITES HAVE NOTHING SACRED!  
    The T-80UK (Object 630A) - a battle tank to be driven by Stalin. Personally. Or other Great Leader of Communism.      The T-80U was so good that Kirov factory received a special order to build a commander version of T-80U to be driven by Great Leaders of Communism personally! This is why T-80UK was created - made out of pure hatred to discont shops and unending stream of wordspuke out of capitalist oppressors heads about how workers are free in their system of exploiting human weaknesses!             The Kharkovite-80UD (Object - we will steal country money just to put our crazy diesel engine into T-80U to ruin it - 478B), a terrible abomination and violation of spirit of true Workers and Peasants ideals by untrustworthy Kharkovites to undermine T-80U achivements, but by this they admit that their T-64 tractor was inferior to Glorious Kirov factory creation, showing how much superior was a concept behind T-80, a true way of creating tanks that Kharkovites would never understand and because they don't understand it they just copied the Great tank of Soviet Guards Armies. Kharkovites can't understand a concept of creating a tank which have everything behind and in it calculated to achive superior perfomance on battlefield against hordes of NATO invaders and not just to wave a pamflets with many paragraphs describing their unique inventions that they added to the tank without thinking about actual perfomances because Kharkovite is trying to sell his tank for personal profit, like decadent westerner, while only Kirov factory think about winning the war with imperialists.   Kharkovite-80UD      

That's me 

Don't put articles from trashbins here, Bele.

Stolen from otvaga, posted by GRU - apperently this is K2 for export (rumored to be Oman)

 
 

SGA made 299 plans of the AMX factory available online.
Ranging from 1936 to 1959 with a few documents on the M4A4 but also the Pz IV (suspension) and the Panther.

Visually yes, but in the game this thing is called "T-80".

BTW - Im not sure DM-13. In green book (Bauman 2006 Moscow) is 220mm/60@ but IMHO it could be overestimated. From the other side - some other polish Autors found  in british archves that "unkown" german 120mm KE was able to penetrate 450mm steel from 1km in late 70's... so maybe..

My resume that what we known (or not) on one picture:
 

 

And Russia. 

Tell Ukrainians next time to put Javelins there, our ATGMs are outdated. DPR trophie, restored. Now in fashionable [not really] paintjob.

 

A few more photos. I didn't know that the armored vehicle restoration group of the German tank museum has its own facebook page.
 


 
The tank is in driving condition.
 
 
 
 

Here are the pics related to the Oct 1979 intel report on the T-80. The pic was actually taken "prior to 1976." The higher quality version didn't become available until much later...
