AFV identification quiz #1 (results on page 3)

Posted by M1abramsRules on Tuesday, February 3, 2004 9:47 AM

they have been doing this in the ac forum for a while, so I thought I'd bring it to here. I'll do this first one, with (hopefully) someone with a little more AFV knowledge taking it over.

ok, this will probably be an easy one, but I'm not that up on armor to come up with really obscure AFVs. so here it is.

and another one of the same vehicle

DO NOT POST ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD!! (not serious ones anyway)
you can email me your answers via the email button.
ENDING TIME IS FRIDAY MORNING!!!

HINTS:
Its neither north american nor european
it is a modern tank (1970's+) (believe me, that is a very good hint because there aint too many modern AFVs with 7 road wheels)

I'll try to keep a running total here:

REPLIES: 21
CORRECT: 12

An easy one!?!?
Yikes, I'm dumber than I thought!
No idea, Chris.
Even checked all my refs!
Must be something familiar with a bunch of extra stuff stuck on it...don't recognize any of the bits, though!
