#2 "Mahmoud! You paid $11,000 for a used tank with a remote-detonated bomb welded under the driver's seat!"
"Yes, Effendi! But we found it, didn't we?"
"Except that it has 'bomb number 3' painted on the side!"

#5 Well that's a new one. I had only heard about the Ukrainians doing a little two-way contraband operation involving their aircraft and certain agricultural products. But that was just a rumor.

#6 On the modern battlefield, they would end up as Purina Tank Chow, but a T-72 might be just the thing to take on cranky students, disgruntled citizens and other members of the unarmed populace.

Personally, I wouldn't mind having one. Always thought they were kind of cool. But then, I'm not planning on going head to head with the US Army.

#7 Are these the T-72s with the extra tank on the back, over the engine, thin enough to be punctured by a .223?
If so, they're not really suited even for suppressing civilians.
