The M109A4 self propelled howitzer looks like a tank, but is in fact a Howitzer cannon mounted onto the body of a tank- much bigger than a tank's normal weaponry.
More vehicles over this way.
The BRM-1K was a reconnaissance vehicle used by the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War.
Beside it, the Chieftain, the main battle tank for the British into the 1990s.
Side by side, two Leopard tanks, mainstays of the Canadian military from the 1970s into the current day, and used in Afghanistan. I've been in one once. As big as they are, they're confined within. If you have a problem with claustrophobia, this would be problematic.
These two are throwbacks to the Second World War.
Those tanks are scary! Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
ReplyDelete...the one good thing about the Cold War is that we knew who the enemy was!
