Where do you live that you pay a road tax?

This is true also when putting old NATO vehicles on a range to shoot at. But bespoke targets can look like whatever you need them to look like.

Are you really optimally served looking at something that has been soaking at ambient temperatures for year with major internal components & many minor external components removed (and through most of its life with significant surface area mangled by HE), so it no longer presents representative...

Why needlessly aggravate a bad situation? Especially when a scrap vehicle is still more value that bespoke steel targets which are just as effective.

It’s prohibited to install used AFV as new targets now. Too many environmental contaminants.

I suspect the field force guerrilla war against the Tac Vest has build a culture where everyone other than "the system" knows best what they need for their own load carriage.

Who is the "we" that tried to get rid of Turkey?

Yes. That is what this thread is about.

If total time used is the only metric, Red Coats have them both beat in use over 1645 to 1903 in North America (258 years).
