The Italians recycled that M47 enough to sell them to the Iranians :haha: :haha: ...Even gave it a new name ...Sabalan...which probably means "Suckers" somewhere lol

That's the kind of thing the US should develop. We need a light tank that is high tech.

I would agree Giant....these days in modern warfare...there just aren't the kind of adversary there were in previous wars....thing is...not sure that stealth technology would be needed...Light fast movers ...with added IED under armor...would be good enough IMO

The stealth could be of great use against air attack, probably the modern tanks greatest weakness.

LOL...The question might arise...who uses the kind of technology that the stealth armor is designed to ward off :shifty: ...don't think it could block wire guides or ground indicated ....and I don't think it will do anything for a targeted mini gun :haha: :haha:

The Russians are always Ready

Thing is ...they spend too much on their Military....So probably won't be able to use anything they produce ;)
