WOW is that a 120mm gun on a light tank?


Unfortunately the book doesn't say anything about the armament. Could be an L7 from a Merkava II...

From the fume extractor it looks like an M68/L7. There have been low-recoil derivatives of this around for a while. GD put one on an ASCOD as a demo and the Stryker MGS carries one.

BAES Hagglunds have put a 120mm on a CV90. It's a Swiss derivative of the Rheinmetall gun adapated for lower recoil. No-one has bought it yet. It's been over to the UK for unmanned firing demonstration and it is still possible that the UK might go down a similar road for a lighter tank. In FRES days it was projected that the Scout family would have a big brother on a stretched hull with a 120mm gun, possibly firing guided munitions. The return of the medium tank, armed like an MBT but much less well protected. Perhaps more of a tank destroyer than a tank.

Any idea how can I make the pictures that have been posted already work?
I'm definitely switching to a more user friendly solution from now on...

I'm laughing hard. Not at you but at was seems to be a hopeless situation which has hit everyone here. Your guess is as good as anyone's. But it seems to begin with dumping photobucket.

You need to add this att the end of the picture url

~original

So you need to edit all the post with that ~original text. If you can´t anymore edit, then you need to copy the url´s in a new post.

Tell me about it...you have no idea how much time I spent uploading those pictures. Nevertheless, I'll start a new one after I find a new picture hosting site.

I hear ya brother. I know it's a lot of work as I did similar when I had done couple online builds. It does take a lot f personal time to orginiaze for a photo thread. And, then continue to support it reguraly. So, as a viewer of your work...I want to say I appreciate all you did and continue to do for our hobby

Thanks Mike, much appreciated! Meanwhile I've opened a new IDF thread, hopefully it will last at least as long as the old one...
