Re: Israeli unveils tank-defense system of the future

So... it's just a mini-SAM for a tank? Boring...

Kinda reminds me of... oh, I don't know... this? Has it really taken ten years for someone to realize that this idea has potential? I knew Westwood was a good company and all... but really?

For those of you who have not played Red Alert 2, go play it. That is a picture of the apocalypse tank, which has the ability to shoot down short-range missiles with its own mini-SAM.

Why is everybody so fond of writing in small text all of the sudden? It sucks, you have to squint really hard. Usually though I just cheat by either copying and pasting (though this can be hard, highlited text is small to click on) or quoting it. Trying to get this post to have more than one small line, so i'll talk you about bears. If its black attack, brown turn around, that's what i've been told. WoW isn't that fun of a game, if you want a REAL mmorpg go play guild wars. I can't wait till guild wars 2 it's gonna be epic! So yeah... small text... Your mothers a whore, why I never! Wow, this is the second time I checked and it's still not a second fucking line. 10101011101001010001010101010101010010101 How about now? YES! TWO LINES! VICTORY!! Okay bye!

Obviously the tanks won't be invincible, but imo less rocket hits is a good thing.

Land mines aren't hard or expensive to make, so I fail to see how this matters.

Gaza insurgents are just drowning in anti-tank landmines, aren't they?

Well, the new system eliminates one possible threat, making it worth it.

I stand corrected.
