I’m seeing a strange pattern of successful American planes getting Swedenized.

Anyways, here’s the mendeleev tank, it’s a highly advanced WW1 concept proposed by the son of Dimitri Mendeleev.
Screenshot from 2024-07-22 19-35-39

Its front plate is 150mm, its side and rear are 100mm.

It bears the 120mm canet gun and a light machine gun (looks to be a maxim gun)

Top speed is 15 mph (24 kph) with 1.44 hp/t

Crew of 8

It would have pneumatic suspension, the tracks and machine gun turret would both be retractable.

as the wikipedia states:

Mendeleev’s idea of allowing the tank to completely lower the hull onto the ground, turning the tank into a mobile fortress that could bunker down when need be

The initial design is thought to date back to as early as 1898. It was worked upon in 1911, and presented in 1916.

Let’s share something italian, shall we?

Looks like Israel had a 140mm gun, aswell as APFSDS for it, but cannot find any images of it, aside from the shell

Looks like they were possibly made, as a choice, but no pictures exist (?)

Looks really cool

A proposal to upgrade their aging M41s (and possible m42 hulls) to a more modern standard. It incorporated an Abrams turret interior skeleton with a 105mm Gun. Project was canceled due to the fact this turret made the M41 more vulnerable than the original vehicle.

Made for ROCA

Just a reference
The Avro was one of the first interceptor/fighter that is canadian made and one of the fastest for its time, the project was cancelled because the US doesnt want Canada to have the first, so they demand Canada to dismantle it and hired all of the person that worked on the CF-105
But in short, its quite fast, has good manuverability at high speed, carries weapon on the belly bay which include air to air missle, 1000lb bombs, and guided missle. The missles were all under development(hasnt finished) but ultimately was switch and cancelled because of the US
pretty sad

that’s hilarious, I love it.
