#8  According to dubious rumors, the Russians actually have built an invisible tank. Unfortunately, when the crew exited the vehicle after testing, the tank remained invisible and no one has been able to locate it. Testing protocol now requires the parking lights to be on when the vehicle is un-occupied.

#6  The Magic: Gathering style cards are a great visual way to dodge the 'Tanks in Ukraine = WW111' standing.

Maybe some more limp dick jokes are in order.

#3  /\ Typo....should read 30 miles.

#2  The Russian info on this claims that the T-14 has an operational range of 300mi.

Given that it weighs over 50 tons I don't think this is possible.

In fact getting these tanks to the battlefield will be a logistical nightmare for Russia.
