Serious question guys, cos I don’t know.
Do the Tank manufacturers give a warrantee with their Tanks, like car manufacturers?.considering they could be put (Probably) into a battle situation.Straight off the line.

No such thing on defence products, at least I never came across it. But nowadays there are usually support cost and availability clauses, depending on the contract.

Is the Type 10 still undergoing trials or has the go ahead for production been given? Looks like a nice bit of kit, prefer the South Korean K-2 though

Japanese Type 10 MBT prototype.. perhaps the lightest MBT of this and last generation and most revolutionary tank coming from Asia?

Er…

It says you can’t spell ‘armoured’ :p

Moggy

I think ‘armored’ is the American way of spelling it, just like the Yanks leave out the U in colour.

J-20 I think this is a great idea. I have a keen interest in modern fighting vehicles and for one would love to see a thread like this on here. I can’t see why not since we have a forum dedicated to naval warfare 🙂
