Guys, sad news just before the ranges close for Christmas, bad timing but then there is never a good time I suppose.

What the hell is a jeep doing on a training ground where you have Leopard tanks , its not as if the tanks can see a small jeep up close and if they turn and the jeep is to close its an a accident waiting to happen

Dave, I believe it was a Mercedes Wolf which is 'their' jeep is what I meant. From my mates I gather the Wolf was moving North on a hard road in the middle of the training area and the tank was maneuvering at speed East West or vice versa not expecting the soft skin vehicle in the area and also the tank was no doubt closed down being tactical and for the grace of a few seconds either way it has happened sadly....
