Parade of the most unusual tanks (20 photos)
"Lit up in his tower, Joe!»
The enemy can be shot out of a cannon, machine gun, crush, ram, a flamethrower to burn, to put a missile in the end, there are loopholes for small arms. But the creators of the machine Grant CDL figured out how to light the enemy to death. At the tower tank was a special design with arc searchlight capacity to 15 million candles. Luminous flux is focused through a narrow viewing slit. To these secret machines do not stand out too, the tower was installed a fake barrel 37mm cannon to mask. These tanks are intended for night battle - the enemy is illuminated by spotlights and blinded and destroyed weapons onboard.

Rommel, I remember, used trucks to simulate the movement of armored columns desert - baffled Tommy. The British, being at that time against the Germans full antagonists, were completely opposite. That is used tanks to simulate the car. War - is a serious matter if behave as an enemy, then what is he after that enemy?
Hippopotamus in a minefield
Tank - in essence the car, being able to quickly deliver a large tank inside of another heavy piece of metal, immediately after this change of position, but if you do not have time - to sustain the delivery of cargo response. Some tanks are able to do one thing a little better. Sometimes specialization is quite narrow. Like this unit. He trained one - always survive in a minefield. Not because of some tricky special technology system or - in it just a lot of metal. A thick caterpillar with massive fingers, trolleys, bolted to the top of the board with additional armor plates, very thick bottom, whole discs of rollers. Such a "behemoth" even put the tower did not.
Aerotyagach
The tanks are often used for towing. Sometimes situationally - well, there is someone to pull out of the swamp, a ditch or a pit. Sometimes special - just a trailer - still occur, which disappear in vain draft power. The British, who first invented and began to build the tanks, all of the head of these opportunities lost - the tanks began to cling at all everything that moves. And it came to airships. This Mark IV was converted and used as a guide KVVS (or mobile mooring mast) dirigible R-23. The machine is used on the basis of the RAF Pulham.
Bronegrob Rolling
They say that the Japanese built it for raspugivaniya saboteurs from the Chinese Nationalists and Communists. It's hard to tell how they managed to reach the goal - no saboteur did not admit that it scared the trolley. But perhaps it might really puzzle guerrillas so that they do not have time to undermine the train.
A similar case was in Poland. A little more than a slender German trolley also amazing ... its inexplicable nature. "But why?" - With such a question, frozen on startled faces, she left behind her the Polish partisans.
The Swedes are Swedes!
Always come up with something of such things than you can hit, if not an enemy, or at least the viewer. And in general, if the "Saab" You can build a fighter, then why "Volvo" can not be tanks? I must say that in the distant '40s that a fighter had "Saab" the tank at the "sale" turned ... to the delight of all spectators. They did not fight for them to beauty - most importantly, to more trunks and armor can be smaller. Swedish Fight tankers to (them) fortunately did not have to.
Betonenpantser
Concrete tanks - Pets Shushpanzer_ru. The word "concrete" is impressive. Maybe it's just a subconscious desire to do your tank car is the same as a reliable some bunker. I do not need much - just to be able to flop down on the frontal part of the solution slightly. Even easier.
Get involved too, should not - tank molded entirely of concrete, usually loses.
Kovboets
Tanks, according to many, often bear the features of the national character of the country, to build them. If so, then the T31 Demolition Tank - classic Texan cowboy. If you wish, you can even see the outline of the tower hat. But the essence of his cowboy is not that. It is - in the two revolvers on the sides of the tower, shoot missiles. The series did not go - too scary.
Two in one
Sometimes, as mentioned above, the tank designers have lost the sacred sense of balance and made cars that have some one property has been developed better than others. Logically the same: if you destroy an enemy, you can not then have to run away from him and not be afraid to get back shell. And to destroy the enemy - every child knows - you have to have a big gun. Or just a lot of conventional guns. At least two.
P.S. Then the shotgun was "Leopard-3»
Skeleton
When the tank shell falls, it breaks through the armor, gets inside and makes it a lot of bad things. Often - fatal for the tank and crew. Therefore, at the dawn of the era of tank designers tried to break this pattern is monstrous in its very basis. If there is no reservation, the projectile, first, there is nothing to break through, and secondly, there is no place to fall (because no "inside" is not for lack of walls).
Rubber products
In general, fans of naive logic among tank builders abound. Actually, the idea is quite tank gives children's games voynushku "I'm in love with you from a gun-bdusch bdusch!", "I'm in this thing made of iron - she moves and shoots!". Rubber armor according to the law of logic - the ultra-efficient. Shells a bounce!
There is another option - to cover up the car cushions. All children know - it works!
Tankolapti
Again, within the spirit of the national character of the tanks. On Russian soil brainchild Christi has changed so much that eventually acquired instead of caterpillars sandals. The tank sense. To overcome the tank BT-2 separate wetlands and virgin snow in 1934 in the workshops of the Red Army NIIT landfill have been developed and manufactured special wooden mats.
Okinawa Regatta
Amphibian Tank Christie. Just striking mechanism.
When tired "tridtsatchetvёrka» ...
Poland - not the most famous shipbuilding power. Pro Polish submarine is known, in general, not very much. But apparently he wanted very much. So we take what was on hand - "tridtsatchetvёrku", for example. And we put on top of something as similar to cutting. The result was quite a diesel submarine.
Tommy Cannon
Firepower is never superfluous. Stabbed you, for example, in "Tiger" shell, but if you can, and even a machine gun on the armor go - passed. It is not superfluous. Let it be. Little remains of the tank's photos, but certainly on the other side of the tower he attached a good colt. For the greater the power.
Samopal
From bulldozers to the tank - one small step. Make it, as a rule, people are desperate, completely carried away by his work. Such as Marvin Heemeyer. Or, as the Tamil separatists, which, according to the Asian military tradition, decorated his creation with terrible thorns, which pulled a terrible home. True, the "Liberation Tigers" did not take into account that there are enthusiasts, not only among soldiers. Corporal Gamini Kularatne, who fought on the government side, was no less passionate fan of VET - he climbed up on the course and put a bulldozer in the open hatch two grenades without checks.
"When the earth is burning under their feet»
Each occupant knows that this figurative expression persists only as long as he will not get into a minefield. Then, as they say, the soil itself rebels against the invader. The Americans apparently did not exclude the possibility that their tankers can be in such a role, we decided to create a tank to fight a hostile soil. "Shoot the damn ground!" - They decided. No sooner said than done. This machine is equipped with seven machine guns for the shooting of the soil. The Pentagon estimated the beauty of the game, but did not take arms. With nature is better not to fight.
