- rynokiGreat pictures there. Is that a T-55 or 62 in the background?
I'm unfamiliar with the braking system of a modern tank. How is emergency braking actually applied?
Regards

I don't know about "modern tanks", but when we did the same sort of manuver in M60 variants, we just pulled ourselves out of the seat (literally) by the T-bar and stood with both feet on the brake pedal, with pretty much the same effect (though undoubtedly from somewhat lower speeds). Lurid slides on dusty concrete.

Thanks doug. That's a vivid picture you paint. I guess that would be something you would hope to avoid doing in the wet!

Hi Doug,
I'm away from Milano, I live in Sardinia, just surrounded by the Mediterranian sea.
You come in Italy in the indicted days?
Benvenuto Doug
