We had a short lecture about the T-55 the other day and even it can fire infrared screening smoke grenades. I don't know who invented it, but apparently it's a cheap and easy to take in use and most, even outdated, tanks have taken advantage of the technology.

They should create a tank based on the flying saucers stored in Area 51.

ROFL sounds a little like "Waffles" which sounds kinda like Waffen-SS. See a pattern emerging here?

I just wish the good women of Germany would find their way on my dick, that's all. I wouldn't mind breeding good German stock at all or Scandanavian. Thor, hook me up, brother.

I'll give you something as a token of my friendship and you'll always be a friend to the family lol megatron got me into the italian tone again. Gotta love the boogie.

MBT-70, what may have come from that project? The Shillelagh gun sucked though.[/on topic]

MBT-70 pretty much did everything that the later M1 did. However, the US gov't didn't feel like spending $1 million/copy in 1970 dollars. (So they ended up spending $2.4 million in 1983 dollars...)

I recall seeing one of the MBT 70 prototypes on Ft. Knox in a traffic circle back in '90. I wonder if it's still there.

BTW, this whole extension to 15 month tours bites big donkey dick. Would have left in June, but now it ain't until November...

The MBT70's variable suspension was a pretty neat feature, not sure how it would have withstood the test of battle though.
