Russia invites the US to their Tank Biathlon

[TacticalSledgehammer]

I thought this looks like it might turn into something fun worth watching. I'm not sure how fair it will be seeing as to how we might have to use their old T-72s.

I bet we have some OpFor/Aggressor/whatever tankers who might be familiar with T-72s... might not do too badly, either.

Finally a spectator sport I would watch. :D

Maybe the NRA and Nascar could make this the next big thing and tick off the anti-gunners royally in the process.

You haven't FELT a recoil until you've been out of the turret when that 120mm smoothbore round leaves the tube - you can feel the heat and the shock of the concussion can knock you off if you aren't prepared for it :)

Ah..the good old days :)
