I remember seeing photographs of the Australians mounting the 75mm gun turret from Saladin armored cars on some of the M113’s they used in Vietnam. That would give the Taliban their own ‘tank.’

Having seen some of the videos from those “ISIS tanks” in Syria, I wouldn’t lose much sleep over it.

Having operated an M-113 for a period of time, I can promise that wouldn’t last long if a real tank showed up. Or an RPG.
