Today’s “Odd Tank” is Argentina’s TAM VCA, a SPH. Built on the same hull as the TAM (big surprise I know), it uses the Italian “Palmaria” 155 turret and the Oto Melara L41 155mm howitzer. It is powered by a 720hp engine with a top speed of 60km/h.

#OTD in 1941 the first Valentine tanks were issued to Soviet units. The armour and armament were generally found to be satisfactory. Most complaints were about a low top speed and poor mobility in winter conditions. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/usa/m32-trv The M32 Tank Recovery Vehicle (TRV) was the most significant recovery vehicle of World War 2. In the turmoil of war, the scarcity of resources meant that it was essential to conserve military assets.

Trials of the AC IV tank armed with a 17-pounder gun and a new 510 hp engine began #OTD in 1942. This was an exceptional tank considering that Australia had no tank industry before the war, but it remained a prototype. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

@WilliamShatner You might be underestimating the power of the parasocial connections that come with long form conversational podcasting. That said if you wanted to talk about your favourite tank we could keep it to whatever length suits you ;-)

What baffles me is that one big reason for not doing a podcast is the time commitment of an hour+ with my busy schedule. I only give national, legacy media 15-20 minutes so we can stay on topic on what I am there promoting but they can get their Star Trek question in if they choose. There’s all these craycrays that think I’m going to fly to Texas and sit down with a stranger for a 3 hour talk. Sorry kids, but no. I don’t have time or the inclination to talk at length about past projects.

The Trophy APS is the most effective active protection system on the market, but its ELTA radars can pose a threat to the platform. They emit energy to detect incoming threats and can be easily detected by the enemy. Rheinmetall's 2020 presentation indicated that a typical APS, such as the Trophy, can be detected at a range of up to 400 km by an electronic intelligence aircraft. calibredefence.co.uk/us-rapid-capab…

Attention, all my followers. Buy and read this, now. That's an order. You won't regret it.

The SG-2 SPG combining the T-34 chassis and a 122 mm M-30 howitzer was due #OTD in 1942. This vehicle went up against the U-35 (future SU-122) for the title of the Red Army's first mass produced medium SPG. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

2nd Cavalry Regiment comes Ashore!

Today's "Odd Tank" is the Italian Otomatic prototype. This prototype is built on a Leopard 1 hull instead of the Palmaria hull (which is based on a modified OF-40 hull). The gun is the 76mm Oto Melara autocannon. While the vehicle was intended as an anti air vehicle, the gun could also fire APFSDS rounds against armored ground targets.
