That's awesome. That tank looks brutal. Do they still use that design in their tank warfare today?
I heard that in WWII, the Germans trained dogs to dive under tanks while strapped with bombs to counter the enemies tanks in the battlefield. Only problem was that they used their own tanks for training, so when the dogs were released on the actual field with bombs, they dove under the German tanks and blew them up, instead of the enemy's.

In fact, the opposite happened... It was the Russians, who trained dogs!

Ah, that's right. I couldn't remember if it was the Germans or Russians. Still an ironic story though
