Name that tank!

TA got it - your turn again

and Hi Alan

 

I'll post a quickie to tide us over until TA comes up with a proper poser:

 

Not an Elefant!

 

How about an 'ellifiknow?

Su-14-2?

Could it be an SU-14-br2?

Edit u got it first Tom

 

MST got it first.....

 

Just by a few minutes...........

I'll try this one again 'cause I'm lazy today:

 

It looks like somebody put a vacuum cleaner on a tank.

 

it's a Mig 15 jet engine on a t-54 used to clear mines (mostly unsuccessfully)

called 'Progvev-T'

 

I heard something about using that thing to put out fires in the oil fields in Kuwait. Was it true?

 

it looks so, with similar model;

Ok then lets try this amazing beast;

 

By the camo and cupola I'd guess Japanese

 

you'd be guessing right

 

A Japanese variant of the Vickers C it looks like.

 

some influence to be sure, but not a variant

 

That japanese tank, it would not happened to be a Chi-I tank prototype would it? I vaguely recall it being overweight and made of soft iron but the important part to the japanese imperial army was that it moved of its own power.

 

The source I have simply calls it N.1, it's a 1927 prototipe made of mild steel that was considered successful despite being overweight at 18t and so unable to reach the hoped for 25 km/h speed. This was not considered a big failure as the other vehicles in use at the time (Renault FT and Wickers medium A) had top speeds of 8 and 14 Km/h.
