Poland's future stealth tank
Posted by Ixion on Monday, January 5, 2015 6:52 PM

Hopefully it's performance is commensurate with it's striking appearance. It would make a cool looking model. Cool

It looks like a tank out of that 70's video game "Battle Zone"

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Stealth looking for sure...but stealth to what? Radar? Thermal imaging? Laser guided missiles?

Oh wow, yes it does! 

I saw a TV show about an attempt to make a Challenger II 'invisible' some years back. I didn't quite get the point, if you make it so it can't be seen it still makes more noise than a locomotive.

TRON tank!!!

Looks like the design is trying to reduce radar signature?  I have seen those shaggy "car covers" on armored vehicles that are designed to cut down on IR signature.  I would have thought IR, laser, and the old Mk II eyeball were greater threats to a tank on the battlefield.  Still, a model kit of that design would be just peachy!

Are modern tanks quieter than older designs?  A Challenger drove by me on the road to Bovington, and it just sounded like a really large truck.  When I was on a school field trip, a USMC LVTP-7 drove up next to the bus we were on, and the windows rattled like they were going to fall off!

I have been told it is based on the CV-90.  Any truth to that?  Can anyone expand on just what this cool looking AFV is?  Is it an MBT, IFV?  I'm hoping this thing reaches production, as I'd love to have a kit of it!

It's weird, that's for sure, but I don't dig it. It would look awful as a model--;like a toy!  It actually looks like they built just a frame over an actual MBT underneath it, if you look at the fender sticking out there?

Meh. Too bizarre for me! What are they going to call it--the Kielbasa? lol
