Prototype T-84 Yatagan. Based on the T-80, It has a 120mm smoothbore gun that uses NATO-standard ammunition as well as a laser-guided AT missile. The autoloader and Ammo storage were moved to the blowout-pannel-equipped turret bustle. It was designed by Ukraine for evaluation by the Turkish Army. Now it appears to be a parade star.

 Pereh (Onager) ATGM carrier disguised as a tank. The Pereh was developed in the 1980s in tandem with the Spike-NLOS (called the Tamuz in service) missile, but was not revealed to the public until 2011.[3][4][5] The concept of the Tamuz and the Pereh was conceived during the Yom Kippur War, where Israel seemed to be in danger of being overrun by Egyptian armor. The eventual nature of the weapon system and the operational doctrine of its deployment were furthered by Israeli experience against Syrian T-72 tanks during the First Lebanon War.

Vietnam, 1969 We stopped at the USS Alabama several years ago for the tour. There was a little museum next door that was full of Navy stuff. They had a PBR rigged out in there. I was shocked at how small that boat was and how much firepower it had on it. I played softball with a dude that was a 50 gunner on the forward tub and wore hearing aids in both ears. After seeing that boat, I understood why.

Most of the problems were solved at the end of the war, the Panther was really good, but it was too expensive to keep them in service once the spare parts were used up. The French took many German WW2 designs and developments and refined them over the years. |

The French took many German WW2 designs and developments and refined them over the years. Additionally, the 75mm gun that went on the AMX-13 was basically a copy of the Panther's main gun. Panther wasn't a bad design at all, but by 1947 it was eclipsed by tanks like the Centurion on the Allied side and what became the T-55 on the Soviet side. |

The French took many German WW2 designs and developments and refined them over the years. the treads were cut straight whereas the Sherman's were cut at an angle. The Panther's gears were a little fragile and they were driven per SOP at a reduced speed. Also there were problems with the final drive being unreliable and not lasting long at all. I am not familiar with the mechanics of all that, so I just had to take their word for it. |

The Panthers were rare orphans,there simply weren’t that many Panthers in France in 1944,let alone in working order in 1945,to say nothing of spares. |
