Who said tanks were slow?

A demonstration of turret rotation... surprisingly fast.

 

Isn´t this tank a french Leclerc ?

I think it's a 2A4, that is what I searched for on video.google anyway...

Can anyone clarify?

 

It's a Leclerc - hunter-killer sight on left hand side of turret and the flattened "notch" on the right.
What I found "interesting" was one of the other videos - "F-15 launch from a submarine".... presumably a model rocket that happens to be F-15-shaped.
Some of the titles are incorrect, e.g. "minigun" tests on an A-10.

 

It's amazing the agility these modern day MBTs have when you consider their weight.

 

Yes indeed SturmTiger... consider also the stress that treads/gearbox get doing this kind of driving, completely unthinkable for older tanks. Also the engines are much more powerful.

Could a mod please change the topic title to "Modern tank videos", since the original one is misleading.
