Tank PL-01 idea invented by Polish businesses and a large English company. The tank has a unique look and can be completely changed around to fit the user's preference.
Tank and men
The tank is not a heavy construction that has a goal of fighting other vehicles in combat. The PL-01 lets 3 crew to be seated inside the vehicle, which allows for more armor against outside threats like explosives and mines. It has a new age, ceramic armor that has many different layers.
New hybrid
The tank will use steel or rubber tracks to move along the ground, with a drive that is powered by an engine that is a hybrid. The vehicle can drive at fast speeds wherever it pleases. It can easily go through water as well.
Lots of firing options
The tower has modules, and it allows for a mount that has an auto ammo feed system located on the backside of the tower. It also has a machine gun and a selection of weapons that can be controlled by remote, plus a larger calibre rifle and a grenade launcher.
It is both ready to fight at night and during the day. It lets the drivers observe enemies during the day and night. There will also be an auto detection system for missiles and for partnered forces. Everything will be connected to one system which will be the head behind the guns.
This is one of the most powerful tanks out there. The Polish tank PL-01 will begin being manufactured near 2020.

According to Boeing, the company has recently retrofitted fighter jets that have since been retired and transformed them into drones. Last week an F-16 that was stored for 15 years in an Arizona facility flew last week with the cockpit empty. The Lockheed Martin aircraft was controlled from the ground by two pilots of the US Air Force. The drone took off from a base located in Florida and flew over the Gulf of Mexico at 40,000 feet (12.2kilometers). The retrofitted jet reached Mach 1.47 or 1,800km/h (1,119mph).
Boeing said that this innovative approach could one day be used in pilot training particularly when they are provided a target for firing practice. This F-16 is not the first former fighter plane to be re-commissioned as a drone. An F-4 Phantom was used for target practice by the American Air Force in the past.

In the Second World War Dirk J. Vlug, and American soldier of the US Army left a path of destruction still to this day unequaled by his peers. His feat was almost unbelievable. On 15th of December, 1944, an ordinary private 1st class Dirk J. Vlug from one of the Infantry Regiments single-handedly demolished five enemy tanks. Here is how this incredible feat went down:
-He advanced without cover and came under enemy fire (37-mm machine gun). He was carrying a rocket launcher. He carried with him six rounds of ammunition.
- After loading up the rocket launcher, he put the first tank to waste. With just a single round the enemy tank was destroyed and all those poor souls inside were killed immediately.
-The crew of the second enemy tank started out to where he was stationed for his attack. He killed one by firing his pistol. The others headed back to the tank. With the second round, he shot at the tank and totally destroyed it.
-Three tanks rolled up to put end to the destruction. He flanked the first one that came. It was destroyed as well.
-Under heavy enemy fire he pressed on and destroyed one more enemy tank.
-He used his land round of ammunition to strike the last tank. It crashed onto a steep embankment and was destroyed.
To summarize, Vlug managed to singlehandedly annihilate five enemy tanks. He acted on his own to accomplish the mission that was assigned to his whole battalion.
One year later, on 26th of June, 1946, Dirk John Vlug was presented the prestigious Medal of Honor.
Dirk John Vlug died a hero in 1996. Rest in Peace.
Do you have any heroic story that can top this one?

The US created the FGM-148 Javelin as a way to replace the Dragon antitank weapon. It's a weapon that can be carried by a man and then fired at a tank.
The way it works is that you can lock on your target before firing and the missile will self guide its way to the target. The missile specifically is used against the top armor of armored vehicle since it is normally much thiner than the other armor. It can also be used to shoot at buildings and go after enemy helicopters. It can go up to a height of five hundred feet when being used in top attack mode and sixty meters when in direct fire mode.

My god, this is by far the best footage of slow motion automatic weapon firing that I have ever seen. Gamers have their own virtual guns, but it does not even come close to this. It is a marvel of beauty to watch this in slow motion. Thanks to the Slow Mo Guys to who made this happened.
