Members Ssnake Posted April 5, 2016 Members Share Posted April 5, 2016 It was a study for a tank designed to withstand the pressure wave of a nearby nuclear blast. Apparently is also had really great mobility in snow and mud conditions, but from what I remember it was deemed too costly for production. But I love it. It's funky. A space-age tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
