Nice pics !

That poor old range of yours takes a good pounding by the look of that hillside !

Looks like aluminium "splashes" on the turret of the British looking tank with the long barrel-I wonder if that is from Prac A.P.D.S. rounds ??
Nice pictures spott-keep em coming !

This is what happens to left over Centurian Tanks in Australia.

Hit by 84mm RCL, 66 LAAW. Other targets arn't so lucky when hit by 105 HESH, APDS & HEAT from the Leopards.

Some Leopards are also being used as targets now for our Abrahms with their 120mm guns, unfortunately I havn't got pics.

Any Aussies out there with range pics of Leopards & other Cents?

Regards Ozzi.

I think the T-55 barrel was modified by yours truely

 

[Falcon]

I wonder where that T-55 came from, could it have been bought back from the first Gulf War or the Balkans?
