Interesting video of a S. Korean tank

Very nice video TF, good find that man!

Some interesting features there, namely that suspension, clever little idea that, darius makes a good point in that it would help a tank in a hull down position, although as with all good ideas, I do ponder how easy to maintain it is. After all, it's all well and good building a tank with pimped out features but if it has the reliability rate of the early Tiger II then it'll only be useful as a wall.
I like the submarine feature too, it's not the first tank to do that, IIRC I've seen at least one other tank display those characteristics, however it's the deepest I've seen one go. Sod being in that should it develop a leak...

Reliability of the tiger, if it has that then It will break just getting to the front.

The Leopards can do the same.

There are a few pics of that here:http://88362.forum.onetwomax.de/topic=101570408525

Just scroll down a little.

That must have been the one I remember seeing.

Gotta love those Leopards

Aren't all modern tanks with NBC protection capable of that, I man to provide that protection they have to be air tight with exception to their air filtration system?

I would think so, antikristuseke. Can't imagine any military fielding a drafty modern tank, but I could be wrong.

I think so too, but the Leopard is the only one were I know it for sure.

IIRC the T-72, T-80 and T-90 can go underwater to a point as well.

EDIT: Well, probably the T-64 too, but I don't know for sure.

But can it come back out of the water again afterwards though?
