Wonder what the "North" thinks of this? Pretty cool. I especially liked the resupply coupling and transfer. Much smoother than the old 8-inch days. Don't know about the Soviet-style hub-to-hub firing, but impact was impressive. Gives a entirely different bent to "Battery Shopping".
The goezBOOM is nice, though.
Nnnoooo, NOT the comfy chair!!

Alrighty-then, no more catnip for you!
Just maybe they're running Linux instead of Microsoft. After all, EVERYONE understands that the only reason DOJ let Microsoft get off so easy after they had lost the monopoly trial (think of it as Bush's "Black Panther Terrorists" case) was because Bill has given the Feds back doors into all their products. And Linux does not seem to have the BSOD problem...
Maybe they would sell us some, since we cannot seem to build much of anything that works and is affordable any more. Do they make ships too?
I wonder how mil computer systems deal with the rather rough handling and all that dust and smoke in tanks like that one.
Catnip deprivation and the brutal assignment to the comfy chair is probably inhumane, however. There's probably something about it in the Geneva Convention. The PETA codicil, that is.
Does it have a turret?
Y) Tank
N) SP Gun
Well, at least that was true before IFV's started mounting little autocannons in a turret.
MikeD -- Easiest way to tell the difference between a SP Gun and tank:
Is the vehicle commander wearing spurs?
Y) Tank
N) SP Gun
And that crazy Swedish thing, the Stridsvagn 103. LOL

I always considered John (NTA) to be “John (Not Too Gay)", for that matter, not gay at all. I always figured, that he was secure enough to clown with, in this blog.
Armorer, did I miss something? ; - )
All of NATO has forgotten about artillery, especially massed artillery barrages. Everything is "precision strike, minimisation of collateral damage", and artillery doesn't fit into that equation.
So instead of using a batallion of howitzers to pound the heck out of an enemy position for a few thousand dollars, we use Tomahawk cruise missiles to "surgically strike" each foxhole for a few million dollars a pop.
