Default Re: Tank question

Thank you redcoat2. That's from an issue of ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΙΚΗ (the company behind other magazines of its type and the portal defencenet.gr) that I no longer have. Good thing you have that copy lol. One thing is actually two, numbers 5 and 6. Independent panoramic periscope of leader (commander I guess) type PERI R-17A2 and its extra armour.
Number 12 is a simple basket, I didn't think of that.
That round part is a bit weird. Perhaps it is a mini fridge. We like our coffees ice cold.



DRG, yes that is the standard colour now days. I believe that is the standard colour for all new vehicles of the army too. Although I doubt they will paint everything (older) any time soon, perhaps in time. I read somewhere recently that they decided to change it as it was making a better job, plus it has some special coating or something against laser targeting, but what how, I don't know. I didn't even know it was possible to begin with.
