The medium tank M4 may give the Merkava a run for its money, as a few years ago my better half commissioned an art upcycler to paint my cat named Sherman riding a Sherman.

Is it OK to note the 'smaller, lighter' vehicle (a light tank, no matter what the doctrine weenies claim) is taller than the immensely heavy Abrams??

Anything with engine forward will be taller than with back placement of engine, because in rear engine design hull can be made "stepped" (M1 is a prime example) and have lower height over fighting compartment. edit - hull, not crew.

Yama Posted November 3, 2024 Posted November 3, 2024 (edited) This perhaps would belong in some kind of 'jokes' thread, but... A homemade Finnish "APC" or "Pirkka-Pasi" as its owner calls it. In actuality it's a standard pattern garbage container on top of a Nissan pickup chassis. It's for sale in net auction, winning bid atm is 1700 euros, which I take to mean that the owner pays some hapless soul that amount to accept ownership of this monstrosity. This is probably third-worst Finnish-made AFV, after VK and BT-42. Edited November 3, 2024 by Yama
bojan Posted November 3, 2024 Posted November 3, 2024 Made for airsoft or as a part of some mad Finn's Reconquista plans?

Turns out you're correct, it's made for paintball: https://www.facebook.com/Paintballpori/videos/224500573414444/?locale=fi_FI That's probably what its protection level can (barely) handle.
