A tank of the 2de battalion, 34th armor in position to provide static road security.

NVA and especialy vietcong where know to lay ambushes on these vital roads. M48 pattons where used with great succes on these roads. Especialy on the mine clearing duty.
Wich ment pattons simply drove in front of convoys. If it hit a mine, it was simply a roadwheel missing. Crude yet effective

Great topic

Here is something from my country:



Slovenian War in 1991. Here is a JLA Tank (if im not wrong) M-84 based on a T-72. You can see the blockade that people put on roads (in this pic a Mercedes Truck).

Isn't it the JNA ?

This picture is taken from a TV recording, and it was recorded 26. June 1991 in Croatia (Croatian Independece War)when JNA tanks drove through Osijek and crushed everything in front of them. The tank is probably a T-55, and you can see as it crushes a "Fićo", a Yugoslavian copy of a Fiat 500

Both In Slovenian it's JLA (Jugoslovanska ljudska armada), in original form it's JNA (Jugoslavenska/Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija).

A rainbow over PT 91 (T72)

Sorry for quality but it was shot using a Mobile

whats that thing above the barrel on the patton? propaganda loudspeakers? i seem to remember this tank including this strange device from bfbc2vietnam if not mistaken.

Thats a searchlight, if I am not mistaken an infra red searchlight.

Rofl.

thx for the info, honestly i expected something like that. a 5.1 surround system with this being the subwoofer is kinda unlikely. if americans would have used propaganda devices on their tanks, it  rather would have been tv's with fox news or something

Too much tanks, instead I give you an anti-tank rifle grenade.  



Soldier of the 1er RIMa during training, Tora Base, Afghanistan, 24 September 2010.

hhhh

Probably most famous picture involving tanks in the world, it deserves a place in this topic. Brave, brave man.

Great pic
too bad the FAMAS is in the end of its life, with no clear successor for the future.

Maybe the PGM Ultima Ratio?



yeah i know i'm dreaming a bit ^^

Personally I hope that they will replace it by an original model (don't want to see an umpteenth M4/M16 or Hk 416/417   ).
