So when will we get another one from
Chieftain? ps: Why is Challenger always looking at the
camera panicked as if the thing is holding him at gunpoint?

I know presenting is scary but you
don't have to forcefully open your eyes wide, it makes you look
panicky. Cobra 6
TheKroo: As someone who knows him very well, I definitely would not
say he was panicked. Although I do have an information that The
Challenger was slightly cold! We film the tanks in their natural
habitat, without many alternations, and I am afraid it sometimes
provides for a bit less than cozy environment. Nevertheless,
your feedback is most welcome, and we'll be happy to read more of
it.

TheKroo: Glad to read you like the video. Would you be so kind to
tell us what you like more? A bit of references would do us good

interesting video. It's surprising just how complicated restoring a
tank is, especially one that looks as if it's in relatively good
condition, and it must have been a monumental task even finding a
new engine for the AMX-13, let alone installing it! A very good and
informative video as always, keep up the good work, and I'm looking
forward to the next one!

Am I right in thinking that the Israelis
took the turrets off of AMX-13s and put them on the Sherman hull as
an upgrade. I know that they made a "Super-Sherman"; one that I
believe to be an upgraded and up-armored variant of the Easy '8,
though I think that they indeed upgraded at least one standard
Sherman with the AMX-13 turret.
TheKroo: Egyptians took the AMX 13 turrets and put them on
a M4A4. They equipped them with the diesel engine
of M4A2 and the FL-10 turret of an AMX 13. Israelis have done a lot
with their Shermans though: great example being the so called Super
Sherman - upgraded Sherman with the French CN 75-50 75 mm gun,
