The last masterpiece of the greatest tank designer in history the T-64 was initially a disappointment largely due to being too far ahead of its time.

Now long past its prime of the 1980s it has roared back to prominence as the mainstay of the Ukrainian Army in the struggle against Russia.

Sometimes called the Lee, other times the Grant.

A tank so bad it was replaced by older designs, a tank so good it replaced newer ones.

Despised by the Soviets, loved by the British, in the thick of the fighting for the best moments of German forces in Africa.

The M3 Medium was a weird looking tank that did strange things over a peculiar service history.

It certainly gives us a lot to talk about.

John and Rob dive deep into the Israeli-Arab wars and then detour hard into the Ukraine to cover the old and the new in tank design and development.

It's a marathon episode of tank related gold!

It's little known that Australia deployed a fleet of tanks to the middle east in 1915. Noting the date, we present to you the history of this underappreciated vehicle.

The best tank in the world in 1936 is not such a great thing to be in 1940. In this episode we take on the many tragic failings of what was on paper a very good tank, and the way it demonstrates the crucial weakness of France at the start of the Second World War.

We also talk later in the episode about recent events in Ukraine, and as for the beer we review the Lindemans Pecheresse.

In this episode we talk about China's shiny new light tank, and John talks to a private tank owner about the joys of this very expensive hobby. Also some thoughts on the Ukraine, and a review of Tsingtao beer.

We roar into the new year with a tank that was downright bad, but was built to be just good enough in an extremely cheap way.

It's the sten gun of tanks, it's the tank we'd have covered in February if we were smarter, it's the British Valentine!
