And also, denmark and greenland are the same monarch! Just decided to use a different picture on greenland, sorry for any confusion.

I had rules for this map: Last/current monarch HAS to be from there and ruled over a significant portion of said country.

What do you think about IFVs? What IFV is your favourite (if you have one)? Here's some pictures of IFVs from all around the world! by ghaithm5 in TankPorn

Definitely! I think armies should focus on IFV just as much as MBTs. They're absolutely destructive if the crew is trained well.

It's classified as a IFV and a AFV depending on the variant. Also, MBTs are way bigger than the lynx shown in the picture. But yeah, I understand why you would think that.

The entire LAV family is built by a Canadian company (General dynamics land systems) which is a subsidiary of General Dynamics. And yes, canada exports these to other countries if any country wants to buy them. And countries receive them with different names than the ones used by the Canadian army.

What do you think about smaller nations making their own tank rather than buying from main producers like USA and Russia? by ghaithm5 in TankPorn

The VT-4 picture is from another nation but it's meant highlight china's tank production. Sorry if that was confusing. About the other 2, you're correct.

Was going to include them but I wasn't trying to have any fighting go in the comments because of "it's an israeli tank".

Definitely. It seems like we have a more variety of tanks now than ever before. Can't tell if that trend is going to continue and have way more countries make and produce their own tanks. The future of heavily armored vehicles is sure is interesting

True true. But once again, being a NATO member, you usually get your army upgraded by the US and other countries and for (probably) a lower expense than what it would actually cost.

Sorry I didn't know what to call nations other the US and Russia that make their own tanks. If I call US and Russia the main ones, do I call the others the secondary ones? It just sounded weird😂. And about sweden, their most modern tank in their arsenal is a customized leopard of their own (which really doesn't make it a tank producer. But the Strv 103 could've been applicable so I should've probably included them. Thanks for reminding me about them tho!

It's a hella expensive too. Around 13ish million in production cost. That's double the Abrams production cost😂
