Morning alfa6

Russian Sherman tank

LOL! Never thought of it that way but I guess you're right, not very good buy mass produced. Quantity vs quality.

Morning tomball. Like the T-54 on the beach, looks like it'd be fun to tool around in on the coast here.

2003 Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France, an international 2,036-mile cycling race, for the fifth consecutive year.

And with his sixth win this year, france has decided to rename the event "Tour de Lance"

Morning Feather.

Makes the tank function as an armored, armed bulldozer. In Iraq we used them to break through berms, bury bunker entrances, fill anti tank ditches, etc.

Oops! This was supposed to be for your question.

Reading today's TreadHead Tuesday reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask you about tanks.

I have read the threads and tried to learn something on a very amateur level yet when we watched "The Beast" a few weeks ago it was a huge surprise to me to see the Russian's exiting their T-62 from underneath it!

All this reading and I had no idea. I remind myself there are no stupid questions so here goes;

Do all tanks have an exit underneath the body?

Rocks??? Ice???? What next, eh

LOL. Sometimes it's spitballs and empty cans. Life in a foxhole can get messy.
