i start with this funny piece of equipment:

-Finnish Defence Forces "Bridge tank" BLG 60 M 2
basicly its T-55 hull carrying a bridge component.
which it can install in battle conditions.

this bucket of bolts with modern APFSDS...
well.. the same as thrusting hot kife to butter..

we now have those aswell.. BMP-1 and 2 are beginning to be kinda old
exelent vehicles in their time tough.

Do you have the "combat hatches" back on your cv90's?

I know that some nations have desided not to have them, damn stupid if you ask me.
