Try this one...  Need designation and country of origin.  Bonus points for naming an additional user...

 

[Cloud Cover]

looks like a 4 wheeled toaster.

 

[sober_ruski]

Some old crappy soviet prototype that never made it?

 

[Teddy Ruxpin]

It's not Soviet...

[wiezel]

i thought i'd give it a go. name vehicle and country:

 

[George Wallace]

M60A3  USA

 

[wiezel]

well the m-60 part is correct but have another look at the turret...

 

[George Wallace]

M60 Super/AX  if you want?

 

[wiezel]

nope not the super/ax, as far as i know the super ax didnt have that turret on it or my sources are totally screwed  :-\
think middle east...

 

[Mortar guy]

Israeli Mag'ach 7c?

MG

PS Sorry for not posting earlier. I'm on leave and don't log on often.

 

[wiezel]

no but very close and easily confused.

 

[chanman]

A Sabra?

 

[wiezel]

BINGO! 

 

[Eland]

A Sabra?

AKA Magach 7a. Whoever said this tank was an M60A3 was close, because the Magach *is* an M60A3 with an uparmoured turret and
other upgrades.

Someone already guessed Magach, but the original poster said 'closely related but not it'

 

[zipperhead_cop]

PTZ 89?  (Got a big hint from the photo name  ;D )

 

[chanman]

Dang it!  ;D

Taking the time to find a picture without the red star on it, and then forgetting to rename it.  Forgot about the letters, doh.

The idea of Tank Destroyers is interesting - would it be comparable to the 120mm CV90?  Why not call it a light tank?

Anyway, your turn Zipperhead!

 

[Mortar guy]

Yeah except, IIRC, that tank destroyer was a result of a failed tank project rather than some need for a tank destroyer. The 120mm gun it has was a failed Chinese project to develop that caliber, wasn't it?

Yeah, SinoDefence gives it as a project to develop a 120mm smoothbore after plans to license from the Germans fell through.  In the end though, they settled on the 125mm, leaving these tank destroyers the odd-one out.

Is it just me, or does the rear-set turret make it look like a midget SPG?
