  2. While a trial of the M551 as a TOW vehicle may have been done it was never adopted. In any case the Sheridan was on the way out, FAST, in the Eighties. Only 1 battalion remained, in the 82nd Airborne, to give it something like a tank. As far as the M901 goes, it wasn't supposed to be employed on the front line, but from overwatch

  4. "The neologism technical describing such a vehicle is believed to have originated in Somalia during the Somali Civil War in the early 1990s. Barred from bringing in private security, non-governmental organizations hired local gunmen to protect their personnel, using money defined as "technical assistance grants". Eventually the term broadened to include any vehicle carrying armed men"

  6. Try hitting a tank with a 155 howitzer round. Unless you got a CLGP, the chance is vanishingly small.

  10. Back in the era of the Color Projects https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Code there was "The Tornado F2 was the initial version of the Tornado ADV in Royal Air Force service, with 18 being built. It first flew on 5 March 1984 and was powered by the same RB.199 Mk 103 engines used by the IDS Tornado, capable of four wing sweep settings, and fitted to carry only two underwing Sidewinder missiles. Serious problems were discovered with the Foxhunter radar, which meant that the aircraft were delivered with concrete and lead ballast installed in the nose as an interim measure until they could be fitted with the radar sets. The ballast was nicknamed Blue Circle, which was a play on the Rainbow Codes nomenclature, and a British brand of cement called Blue Circle"

  16.  @a.rogers1403  How lost can you get? Very "The Ju 88 was a more recent British acquisition after the pilot landed at night at RAF Chivenor in the belief it was an airfield in France –the crew had made a navigational error after being deceived by a Meacon; decoy, navigational radio beacons set up by the British to mimic German ones. " An unidentified aircraft was seen circling the field and given the green light to land. The aircrew bus ambled out to pick up the crew and it's hard to say who was more surprised.

  28. The "Lost Battalion". I have a friend whose great uncle was one of Whittlesley's men. "Poor Uncle Irving was never the same after the war" I can believe it! BTW, it was the 308th Infantry Regiment of the 77th Division, composed of troops from New York and its suburbs

  29. The T-34 was a prewar design. About the only significant change was the 85mm in an improved turret replacing the 76mm

  33. No mortars, the suspension couldn't take the recoil. No "roaming" - they were assigned to escort particular convoys. Maybe one or two dragons - most not. "Eve of Destruction" at Eustis is an example of not

  37. No they were not tanks. They were used as parts of the stationary Wagenburg - a circular formation of carts chained together that was as much a tank as the wagon trains of the Old West laagering up in a circle. Was the Conestoga wagon a tank.....
