Spotted at EnglishRussia, the award-winning, worst armored vehicle of all-time.
"390 gun armoured cars BA-6 were made in the period from 1935 to 1938. The fuel bank with capacity of 108 kg of petrol, is located in the upper part of the cabin. It means that the burning petrol was spilt over into the heads of the crew."
The BA-6 is sort of the Obamacare of military vehicles, the inevitable result of Soviet-style, central planning in some far-off capitol. In other words, fail de epic.
Man, I howled when I saw u put Obama in there!
ReplyDeleteOTOH Doug The T-34 was the best designed armored vehicle of WWII when you take into consideration armor, firepower, cross country mobility and cost of production. Of course, it wasn't as good a a Tiger one on one -- but you could stamp out four T-34's fot the cost of one Tiger.
ReplyDeleteThe Soviet Union did a few things well, like manufacture iron mountains of superior weaponry for a 30 years period between 1941-1970 Okay, it did one thing well

Not to be a dick, but the correct grammar is "fail d'epique".
ReplyDeleteI have French (poodle) heritage, so I would know.
