It's seen some shit

Challenger 1 got the longest range confirmed tank kill in history.
Can someone explain why the Abrams has yet to beat this?

Why does it look so beat to shit? Was this one sold off to some middle eastern shit hole?

The dissolution of the USSR happened.

>>34132141
You are confusing opportunity with capability, most Western MBT's can reliably hit moving targets at that distance. If you get into guided ammo like MRM you can hit at twice that distance or more.

>>34132987
It's what happens when your tanks see regular use.

>>34135395
for 50k you can buy one:

Beast of war.

Does anyone know where a civilian could buy an APC and the legality of it? I know it isn't really a tank but I didn't want to make a new thread just for this.
I've heard there are ones that are street legal and I'd prefer those. Amphibious is a plus too.

Google "APC for sale near me."

Be warned though, while many can be had for quite cheap, the maintenance costs will fuck you in the long run. Tires especially.

Thats the Chrysler TV-8

Here have a shit load of info about it for no specific reason.
