  • Excellent Discussions!

    This is a great podcast, with excellent discussions of the show topic. The guys are open and honest in their evaluations and add good perspective with each show. Some political talk is included in each show but that provides “food for thought” whether you agree or disagree with the stated opinions. Highly recommended!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

80 - Multi-Turret Tanks - Too Much of a Good Thing
Q: What made Miktila/Mektila such a significant battle in the Burma campaign?
It represented a rare instance of high-level, integrated brigade-group maneuver where armored, infantry, artillery, and air power were brought together under a consolidated command with a strong logistical backbone, allowing rapid exploitation of gains and the capture of a critical river crossing.
76 - Panzer II - Tour De France Champion
Q: So you spent a year maintaining a whole bunch of tanks, driving a whole bunch of tanks, and can you tell us which one you hated the most and which one you loved the most?
My favorite is the Leopard 1, as it's easy to maintain and amazing to drive. I wasn't fond of the T-72 due to its complexity.
53 - M24 Chaffee - The Voting Machine.
Q: Can you tell us about the M24 Chaffee's design features?
The M24 Chaffee was designed as a light tank with a crew of four, and it featured a 75mm M6 gun, a hydromatic transmission, and a relatively low profile design for better maneuverability.
54 - Type 99 - The Red Wave.
Q: What is the operational range of the Type 99A?
The operational range is 600 km with an internal fuel tank, plus an additional 200 km using external fuel drums.
59 - TR-85 - The Romanian Bison
Q: What does the Romanian economy look like today?
There's been a move towards reindustrialization while still valuing agriculture, but past deindustrialization efforts have created challenges.
