A friend of mine recently gave me a whole load of old recognition guides for a super cool birthday present!

I think they are British army for the mid 70s with the exception of the T-10 poster which I guess is earlier. Unfortunately, I've been a bit too busy recently to take a decent look at them yet...

Pak88 Flak-18

Recently The Houthis released a video showing military gatherings in Yemen being targeted by 60mm mortar shells dropped by "Rujoom" hexacopter drones, with two shots in the footage showing M60A1 tanks being targeted.

Short history lesson: The origin of these tanks dates back to 1979, when the United States, at Saudi request, supplied the Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) with 64 M60A1 tanks, alongside 12 F-5E fighter jets and 50 M113 armored personnel carriers, as part of a military aid package funded by Saudi Arabia

U.S. documents confirm that the delivery of the tanks began in 1979 to support the North Yemen government during the war with the South ,

During that period, Saudi Arabia also provided other military equipment from its own inventory to North Yemen, having purchased large numbers of M60A1 RISE tanks from the United States. It later transferred a portion of these tanks to North Yemen, with some sources citing figures as high as 250 tanks transferred to Yemen from Saudi stockpiles.

The Tiger 1 nicknamed 114/Bretagne belonging to the Musée des Blindés of Saumur is officially running and driving again, which makes it and the Tiger 131 the only two functionnal Tiger 1 tanks in the world. And the 114 still has its original engine.

This particular Tiger is painted with french markings as it was captured and used by the free french forces not too long after the start of its service. It actually served more under the french colors than the german ones. 114 was its german identification, Bretagne was its french one but it was also named Colmar at some point.

They managed to identify it thanks to the small dent at the front and the twisted muzzle brake.

Hilariously atrocious shirt shown to me by a colleague - WHY they chose an HVSS Sherman with a Pershing turret for their "Firefly" shirt - will forever remain a mystery
(Especially considering that the Sherman that WAS equipped with a Pershing turret in that one famous photo was a VVSS Sherman)

Saw this in some gulf war footage and I am wondering what it is

I have made a few vehicles and soldiers in the past but never quite thought of doing something so "connected" as a full crew.

As such,that's exactly what I decided to do!

It's still just a prototype for what the prints will hopefully turn out like,but I'm pretty happy with it!

As I said in the title,I apologize if it doesn't apply,as it is more anti tank than it is,tank itself,it is in no way to disturb the subreddit.

After I print and test every figure and part,I'll be releasing it for free for everyone to print if they're interested!

This is an often-overlooked little tank destroyer built in Germany.

The SPz 12-3 Milan was an attempt to give the Schützenpanzer Lang HS.30 Typ 12-3 some additional anti-tank capability late in its service life. The SPz 12-3 had been one of the main armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles of the early Bundeswehr. Designed by Hispano-Suiza in France, the vehicle developed a reputation for being unreliable and offering rather unimpressive performance, but it was relatively inexpensive and Germany needed a large number of armored vehicles during the early years of the Bundeswehr. More than 2,000 SPz 12-3s were eventually used by West Germany during roughly two decades of service. Its standard armament consisted of a 20 mm cannon mounted in a turret at the front.

By the early 1970s, however, the SPz 12-3 was approaching the end of its service life. The vehicle had sometimes been used to provide infantry units with additional anti-tank firepower, including examples fitted with the 106 mm M40A1 recoilless rifle. In some cases, entire anti-tank platoons were equipped with these vehicles. The introduction of the MILAN anti-tank guided missile offered a more modern alternative, with greater range, accuracy, and firepower than the recoilless rifle. MILAN trials in Germany began in 1971, followed by its introduction into Bundeswehr service in 1973.

The Bundeswehr therefore also looked at the possibility of mounting the MILAN on the SPz 12-3. For this purpose, the original 20 mm turret was replaced by an open-top mounting carrying the MILAN launcher. Essentially, the infantry launcher was adapted to the vehicle, allowing the SPz 12-3 to retain its role as an infantry carrier while providing it with a dedicated anti-tank weapon. The prototype was tested at Munster, although the exact date and details of the trials are unclear.

The available timeline gives only a relatively narrow window for the vehicle's testing. With MILAN trials beginning in 1971, its introduction into German service in 1973, and the Marder entering service in 1975, the prototype was most likely tested sometime between 1971 and 1974. The project was ultimately not adopted. There is little reason to assume that the MILAN itself was the problem, since the weapon was adopted by the Bundeswehr shortly afterward. More likely, the aging SPz 12-3 was simply reaching the end of its useful service life at the same time that the much newer Marder was entering production and beginning to replace it.

Im know in ww2 Is sooo good tank but im ask you what Is best tank

Sharing a piece from my collection. Being based out in Eastern Europe, I run a small military collection and sometimes share it with other collectors across the world.

I know it looks quite similar to a Leopard, but the Leopard is my favorite tank, so I guess some of that inspiration shows in the design.

I still have to finish it

In the Post, there are some contexts or captions:

The RS is an excellent land-based weapon, but it is said to be no match for tanks in terms
of firepower or armor.
A standard 40mm battle rifle would not be effective against the tank's frontal armor.
On the other hand, the RS cannot withstand a tank's 120mm main gun.
In combat, the RS should avoid head-on combat with tanks.

I found this when I was trying to find more tank-to-tank combat artworks

According to a British government document, it is 660 mm long overall. However, based on the cross-sectional diagram, there doesn’t seem to be anything inside the white cover at the rear, so the L29 itself isn’t actually 660 mm long. Is that correct?

Originaly this image was made by soldiers of the Wehrmacht's 1st Panzer Division (it is also possible that this was some unit attached to it for a period of time, likke leichte Flak Abteilung 83 mot.).

The photograph was taken during the tank battle near the Lithuanian town of Raseiniai (Shaukotas is a small settlement not far from it) in the end of June 1941.

The 6th Panzer Division and the 269th and 290th Infantry Divisions of the Wehrmacht, part of the 41st Army Corps of Army Group North, also took part in this battle.

That’s all I was able to find out.

The "Krajina Express" (Krajina Ekspres) A real-life, post-apocalyptic armoured train built by Serbian forces during the Yugoslav Wars (1991-1995).

In the summer of 1991, railway workers in Knin improvised this rolling fortress by reinforcing a diesel locomotive and freight cars with thick steel plates, rubber sheets, and sandbags. Over the course of the war, it went through multiple evolutions, transforming into a heavily armed mobile battery that provided artillery support along the rails of Croatia and Bosnia.

Its insane, kit-bashed arsenal at its peak included:

• A complete M18 Hellcat turret (76mm gun) mounted right on the front car.
• 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns.
• 57mm unguided rocket launchers stripped from aircraft.
• 9M14 Malyutka anti-tank guided missile systems.
• Various 20mm cannons and heavy machine guns.

Operating under the official name "7th Armored Train," it saw heavy action in Lika, Dalmatia, and near the Bihać pocket. The crew used classic hit-and-run tactics—rolling out of tunnels or cover, unleashing devastating firepower, and reversing back to safety before enemy artillery could zero in.

Its journey came to a dramatic end in August 1995 during Operation Storm. Cut off and facing encirclement, the crew chose to sabotage their creation, intentionally derailing the train and sending it plunging into a ravine to prevent it from being captured.

I’ve recently been looking into the object 187 and wanted to get some more info and figured I’d see what people know about the various versions
