well, it wasn't ****ty ... 30 years ago :)


the latest version of the good ol' 30 is the "Brennus" (named after a famous Gallic chief to whom we owe the famous "Vae victis" expression)

It's one of the smallest 1st/2nd generation MBT especially when compared to M60's and Leopards I. It's been designed to replace the M47 Patton in the French Cuirassiers, Dragons and Chasseurs armored units.
