This is either: A. The new "Leopard Lite" for nations which can't afford a chassis. B. The new "Leopard Hovertank" C. The new "PionierPanzer Leopard 2A5-XT" with the "X-treme Tunneling" option. D. A Leo stuck in a deep mudhole.

The Smoke Grenade Dischargers/Vehicle Protection System in the semi-conical housing. 2. LRF detectors on the front edge of the turret face. 3. Roof armour against top-attack munitions.

I did that once when I was in Officers Basic at Knox. It was a little soupier and I remember the exact moment of realization as it climbed up the front slope that it wasn't going to stop before it got to the open drivers hatch. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2004/02/sorry_wendell.html#comment-2311 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2004/02/sorry_wendell.html#comment-2311 Fri, 20 Feb 2004 20:20:30 -0600 I vote for the hovertank too.

We're not interested in the truth - besides, why Swede and not someone else? Or have you seen this picture elsewhere and know already? Came to me untitled, I was assuming Dutch or Danish. I think those two gents with the shovels display an admirble, if unlikely, optimism. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2004/02/sorry_wendell.html#comment-2291 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2004/02/sorry_wendell.html#comment-2291 Thu, 19 Feb 2004 12:16:55 -0600 Swedish Army- Strv 122 (Leopard 2 (S)) Next question?
