@ Tomi,
I was a commander of tank units and can you tell a lot about tanks.
By my mind:
This mortar shot 25cm bullets, but effective shooting distance should be no more than 500m.

Visit us in Saxony and we'll look at all this beautiful things together, Tomi!
Thanks. I think we will visit in Germany next year. Would be nice to meet you and your family! I'll have to negotiate with the government (wife).Quote:
