Isn't that a Stridsvagn 103 aka S-Tank (hot chick on top is not a standard extra from what I've read)?

Nope, not a Strids. Checked that already. Still lookin' here.

well, that's definitely an m46 patton rear..look at the 3 circular access hatches. the turret has been removed and the gun moved down (probably photoshop)

Bill said...

Yes definitely an M-46 with lots of pieces missing. If really the 90mm cannon strapped to the deck, it's missing the muzzle brake and bore evac. In fact cannon looks like a 105mm L7 bore.

Definitely Photoshopped. There's a turret from an M1 Abrams behind the M46. It's lowered, so only the top is visible, along with the gunners sight. The image has been mirrored so the sight appears on both sides.

You mean there's a tank in that picture? I failed to spot it on first viewing.

That's just a cobbled mess of photoshop.

It is not even a tank killer unless it would be for the French army. The main gun is pointing out of the rear. On a tank killer the gun points out of the front, and you can move the gun a little bit. I do not know of the USA ever producing a tank killer. If we did it was very small numbers.
A tank killer does not have a turret the main gun is fixed forward you can move it up or down, the driver has to get the gun close to the target by moving it left or right.
If this is real please list what it is I would like to read about it.
