hoolaman Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Actually babelfish Russian to English seems quite good, I am surprised at the lack of gibberish. Nice links. There is a nice link in there about some of the latest T-72 upgrades with closeups of the reactive armour and stuff. Interesting how reducing the distinctiveness of the T-72 is mentioned. The funny panels around the turret give a very different profile to something every western tanker has inprinted on his brain as an enemy tank. There is also some kind of stealth tarpaulin over the thing.

Sitting Duck Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Talk about a shot trap...this looks like a shot trap on that T-72, doesn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Not neccesarily, its the Relict reactive armour AFAICT. Not sure how that would react to solid penetrators though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
