I like the idea of the raised cockpit and the visibility, but it sure looks like a nice target for a RPG........

There is something to be said for isolationism and staying out of all the little scrapes around the world but speaking from a strictly technical point of view, the experience and knowledge gained from engaging in these actions is invaluable in developing out military. Not sure if that is worth people’s lives but it will costs lives if we are not prepared.

The German Stuhrmtiger had a stubby 38 centimeter tube that fired rocket launched (naval) shells. They had to be loaded with a little crane.
After their initial experience with Russian urban warfare, they wanted something that flattened buildings.

"We have made this cockpit with windows, so that he should have all-round visibility, but be fully enclosed himself. There is mostly anti-bullet armour protection there," said Khalitov. Mostly, eh? So there's still a chance for the handgun against an army.

Shouldn’t Russia have learned this with the slaughter of T-80 tanks at Grozny?
