Never, but never deploy tanks in an urban environment where there are tall buildings.

Really. Tanks in an urban environment. Isn’t that chapter one in the infantry manual? It’s Christmas and Easter rolled into one if you can lure the enemy into it.

Your 58 ton multi million dollar investment becomes a human barbecue for anyone with a bottle of gas and a match.

A whole 200 main battle tanks is all that there is in the entire British Army...?
The PA National Guard has more main battle tanks.

Paint them up to look like a rusted ‘85 Escort.
Should blend right in?

If the news can be trusted (which is a big if) most of their urban residents are Islamic gibs and libtards. Maybe they are starting to wake up. Still, tanks against an entrenched, urban opponent are useful only as artillery.

Not so. Foul the tracks with barbed wire and immobilize them and pour the bottles down on them. They will burn and they can’t move. Armor has it’s place but also it’s limitations. I know that and I was a Medical Corps officer.

“Modern tanks are not vulnerable to molotov cocktails.”
True, but it will piss off the crew because of the paint damage.
And they will take it out on anything within range.

The UK is about the size of WA,OR and a bit of ID. So maybe 200 of them isn’t that far out of line considering country size. And perhaps one modern battle tank is the equiv. of maybe five or six WW2 types?
