    The Russians were doing doughnuts with them in the car park late last night.

    I called the Guards but they said there was nothing they could do about it

    That's a very strong stand. I respect your opinion, but I am not sure I agree. Your arguments seem a bit contrived.

    Yeah I saw some of their new military kit and was quite alarmed tbh. I rang my buddy Jack Ryan and together we pieced together that the SOBs actually managed to get a caterpillar drive working on their new generation of subs! Can you imagine.

    Doesn't look much more advanced than WW2 tanks to me. The American tanks, though, look crazy.

    I like the bike rack on the side. Russian soldiers will be able to enjoy the countryside amenities of the country's their invading now.

    It's armour is exactly what you see its a totally blended surface with the ability to add modular armour on top depending on the mission it's a fairly cleaver idea .
    It can even have a modular unmanned turret added

    If that's so, adding explosive reactive armour for example would take away the stealth aspect. Unless it's just a coating like the special paint of the F-22 Raptor. Even putting them cages on for pre detonating RPG's and alike would kill the stealth.

    meh, nothing beats the Nod flame tank.

    Now it's how your thinking Stealth should work .
    For instance the B2 or f22 /35 aircraft are considered stealth 99.99% until the open bomb bays or activate refuelling nozzles .
    The term Stealth for tanks isn't the same if i read correctly stealth refer to avoiding laser guided munitions or infra red lazing from aircraft or vehicles mounted weapons for tanks and vehicles .
    Add some kinda of future camouflages it well could be considered stealth .
    But it's going to be wait and see when it become fully operational in 3 years time
