And the Skink is American. Glad we can settle it.
Polish btw.
Stink is Canadian. And had nothing to do with america in its development. You sound stupid

Its mentioned quite a bit around here, Especially in German centric threads, But heres a few examples I was able to quickly look back and find.
And the French had nothing to do with the SK105, glad we agree.
It’s just stupidity then.

Ey, leave some Abrams for us because of M68/L7A1 /s
The US has more to do with the Skink than the French had to do with the SK105.
No they don’t.

The L44 was derived from the US 120mm Delta LASH program.
You are stupid

May I see the US parts in the real Skink? Because I doubt a domestically made turret with Polsten uses US parts. Oh wait, it doesn’t.
This image, this right here:
It’s the beginning and end of the Skink.
This here is a Skink on the Grizzly hull (in the UK before it was tested in service (with guess what, the Canadian & British Army))
One of many forms the Skink would have taken.
So you’re claiming the US should have the Skink just because of one of the many hulls it could have been put on. It’s like claiming any of Markman’s vehicles that used a US hull to show it off, as the US didn’t make those; Markman did independently. At that point, claiming the Skink and “claiming the world” is the same thing.
And it’s been repeated multiple times: the US could have a claim to the Skink, with versions it used, but it REJECTED IT WITHOUT TESTING, meaning the US didn’t even want a part of the program, which means if the production line (as the Skink wasn’t a prototype but a production vehicle) it still wouldn’t have used it.

Eeeeeh, SK-105 uses CN 105-57, and its oscillating turrets are based on the AMX-13 turret design.
Unlike Skink, which the USA has ZERO Connection with.

Yes, the hull, engine and transmission. The tracks and speakers were American until the Canadians changed them later.
If you consider the Grizzly to be Canadian because they changed some of the M4, the Packard Merlin is American because it was completely redesigned and used American components.
Trust the licenced production is surely american

Congrats on two things: not reading a word I said.
And stating every tank to use a L7 (or any other British gun) is a British tank.
