Nice video. The close impact must be the discarding sabot?

Yeah, the sabots drop around 800m? On the full screen you can see the impacts on the T55's on the horizon.

Building on the tank range with US and Iraqi Engineers and then the Iraqi Army training on those ranges. Eventually US troops might do combined training with the IA (Iraqi Army) on these ranges.

Big rifles on tracks are cool.
Keep the videos coming.
Always nice to see our heroes in action.
God bless them !

Rogue--thanks for taking the time to post. And thanks for your service!
Long time since the D-8's were low track. I wonder if that's an old 8K. Spent a few hours in them...I like the full shields, and prob bullet proof glass.
I should have just
bought a [bleep] T3...

I was a FAC back in the 80's and had a chance to work with the M60 tankers. I was amazed at the difference between the speed of a standard HE and the Sabot.
