Discovery Channel's special on tanks about 2 weeks before the war began had the LATEST British tank---this was incredible: it was a CERAMIC tank that was 1/4 the weight of a Challnger (admittedly, a smaller gun) but they showed tests in which its armor withstood full side blasts from Challenger ordinance and from standard anti-tank weapons. You could load 3-4 of these in a Galaxy and put thim on a desert airstrip!

Yup. Isn't that the same program where they mentioned experimenting with plastic tanks?
