Most of the welds shown wouldnt stand up to small arms hits hate to see what an AP round would do. Using that in a real fire fight it would attract all the attention from the other side not a good thing to be in:)

This sort of thing is probably quite effective when the other side is not equipped to deal with armour - I do not think that is the case in this conflict. But the danger to operators is probably no greater than, for example, a rocket launcher mounted in the back of a Hilux, which would attract similar attention and be even more vulnerable. Personally, I think the whole conflict is " not a good thing to be in".

They'd be better off spending their effort making gas masks. ****s about to get real over there.

Looks like a playstation controller. The US army use them for their bottom of the line bomb robots as well.

Hmm sounds a bit like a 4bd1 when it fires up the engine and the way it corners, 130 underneath ? :)

I'd pass on being inside that tank even under small arms fire. It might not penetrate, but still risk of injury from spalling

Spall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Better to be on your feet and able to run and take cover I reckon.
