Can You Identify the Insignia on this tank

a reply to: Ohanka

Check. Wrong kind of cannon and not intended to engage in direct fire against a heavily armored vehicle.

The media routinely states "tank" for self propelled artillery (as in the photo), armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, etc. Rail cars, trucks, and cars all use wheels to roll on, but are understood to be different kinds of vehicles.

I read this entire thread eagerly waiting to hear the doomporn Chinese are already here the UN is invading finally conversation you must’ve had to have even asked the question in your OP in the first place, only to be disappointed.

Lame.

Why is the red on the inside edge in one pic and on the outside edge of another? Backwards install?

a reply to: mtnshredder

They're slide in plates, or stickers like hazmat placards. There's no this side up on them.

a reply to: F2d5thCavv2

To be fair it does only need armour sufficient to protect from shrapnel from counter battery fire.

If anything else is shooting at it then something has gone horribly wrong somewhere.

if you mean the 2 squares on the turret bustle - they is convoy markings [ or similar ] - they are only on during peacetime movement // ex

Huh, I was right after all. The units on the train belonged to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division out of Korea.

a reply to: Ohanka

Oh yeah, you're correct.

I know. I know the difference between the two, but it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

I know that you know the reply was actually for everyone who doesnt lola reply to: Zaphod58

Maybe its part of a consignment Australia bought from the U.S. and it is being shipped to a transport facility ...

a reply to: All Seeing Eye

It actually just came back from Korea.

Still no update to the joint Chinese-UN invasion of the US conversation? No? Nothing?

Lame.

For the love of god, somebody please tell me this thread is an April fools joke?
Its an ISO standard sign for a heavy/out sized vehicle that t is literally used all over the world. No its not Chinese, nor is it Australian specific. Nor has Australia bought M-109's. Its a friggin truck sign so stop making up stupid theories!

a reply to: ignorant_ape

Hey, if I can self identify as an Apache, no reason they can't self identify as tanks.
