Off topic, but semi-automatic only versions of both actions are used for civilian market rifles - the Saigas and some Valmets for the AK, and various AR platforms.  Remington just rolled out a new line of hunting-oriented rifles (likely sharing some design work with the DPMS and Bushmaster AR...

1800 HP.... modern MBTs seem to cluster around the 1200/1500 mark and  1800 is over 3 times what the powerplant in a stock M41 - sucker must've been fast if it could be made to work. Was it a testbed for powerplants?  Gas-turbine or hybrid, maybe?

So what you're saying is that the Bovington (and Kubinka) museum needs to commission a swimsuit calender of perky young things frolicking among multi-ton steel beasts in order to spark interest and help fundraising. Not a bad idea.  I'd like a Duxford warbird calender (with extra birds, so to...

Wait, you don't have an "Obscure AFV images" folder on your computer just in case?  ;D

The presence of a large and ready supply of unsold automobiles raises an interesting question - getting less than break-even is still better than sitting on the cars as they deprecieate away, paying rent on storage lots, wages for mechanics to keep them in working order, etc. Where will the...

And you're up!

Nope.  Saw action in the ME, but not with or against the Egyptions, and it isn't a local design.

Chassis is likely, but it's not a 203mm gun

Was it cheating to google "Tank OR AFV" and random major South American countries?  ;D This next one is for the redlegs like vG...

Argentinan Nahuel (Medium Tank Nahuel D.L. 43) http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/argentina/argentina.html

Hmm, looking again, the T20E1 and T22E1 both have 75 mm guns and the HVSS, but the hull shape at the front seems to be a bit different from the picture.

T-14 Assault tank? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T14_Heavy_Tank

Your turn!

Amazingly, it wasn't hard to get.  If you zoom in on the picture, you can see 105mm printed on the side of the vehicle.  After that, it was a quick look through US AFVs from the 1940's to get the chassis, then on the variations.  :) New AFV

US T88 M18 pilot model with a 105mm gun?

Hmm, I guess the first question I should be asking is... Is this a Russian project, or have we been barking up the wrong nationali-tree?

Wrong hull.  Doesn't have the distinctive glacis of the IS-3/T-10, and has no return rollers and one less road wheel compared to the IS-2/3 and T-10 designs.  It also doesn't have the distinctive gap between first and second roadwheels of a T-54/55. That probably means a T-34 chassis? That...

I think if they're opening fire on national warships (like the ones that the Indians blew out of the water), survival might just not be the first thing on their minds.  In fact, there are other analogous cases that come to mind.  Freakonomics notes that street corner drug dealers take a tiny...

Looks like the Czech LT-38/Pz.38

Isn't it only a strike if you stop working?  Seems to be an unusual way of saying 'widespread tax fraud'  :)
