Description
In answer to Michael (T.Rex) wondering how the gun barrel would handle coming down on the other side - plenty of clearance!
I have just realised that it is Friday - yippee!

OOPS!

Aha! I see they have the automatic aim system turned on - the gun barrel automatically adjusts as the vehicle moves. So, down she goes and up goes the barrel, saving it from damage. This kind of demonstration is rather rought on engine, transmission and suspension. The German army of WWII disaproved of this kind of driving, but it was used for propaganda purposes. Howerver, this modern type of tank takes it better than the WWII types. Nice shot of the upper surfaces of the tank. The extended turret rear contains the ammo and has blow-out hatches on the top in case of a hit, thus saving the tank from being blown up. There's an armoured wall between the ammo and the foreward part of the turret to protect the crew. Automatic or manual loading. It looks like you have a fast camera to get the "up" and then the "down", considering the tank's moving fast. Good going with this series of photos!

They're really putting it through its paces! Great action capture!

I wondered how sharp a "V" it could go into before the front end just dug in and stopped the tank, but in this exact position you've captured I can see there is a lot of front tread exposed ready to ride up a pretty steep oncoming grade!

Sad to see this series end Clive. The aircraft and armor photos have been amazing. Dana
