Re: Armoured Vehicles Discussion Thread - August 9, 2014

What was the pedigree of both the T90s sent? The engine oil after 2 km looks very fishy. Who ever was in charge of maintaining the tanks needs to be accountable. Well the Tanks belong to 7 Cav and they are from 2010-11 time frame. (if one has patience one can see the number in front of driver, try ...
