The wife and I took the girls to the local Military Day at Stirling. On display was a beautiful new Panther which looks like it could be a very useful piece of kit.





















It really looks like it could be very useful on the battlefield with its remote controlled weapons station on the roof.

War in the Play Station era.

I would love to take one for a spin.

Hope you like

I have sat in one of those and played with the weapons it is incredibly fun. They sound cool when i reved it.

These are for CO's to travel on the battle field.

How about this for the other options. Soft top being used for demonstration of convoy protection with canvas side skirts and a GPMG.

I think I would prefer being in a Panther for sure. Would feel a bit exposed even they were instead bagged up with kevlar jackets strapped to the sides. Brave guys going out with open top Landies in proper war zones for sure.
