All that tangled stuff about politics and surviving a shutdown and all that other stuff took my attention off the real issues: keep the troops happy.\u00a0 So I pulled back, regrouped and hunted down a few tanker videos which, I hope, will make our tanker peeps happy.<\/p>\n

Here they are, and the nightfiring part of the British Challenger tank was impressive. I’d bet the Challenger pairs well with one of those robot machine guns that can track incoming shells and planes and knock ’em down.<\/p>\n

Here you go.\u00a0 Enjoy it. Pop some popcorn, grab a cold one, and be glad these things are on our side.<\/p>\n

Old Tanker may like this NATO 25-tank lineup firing a simultaneous barrage.\u00a0 I found it to be rather impressive – kind of like watching a brigantine firing all the 16-pounders at once.<\/p>\n

Next up is a video of the Challenger tank in action on the firing range, day and night both. Glad they’re on our side of the fence. If I run across any Russian tank stuff, I’ll post that, too.<\/p>\n
