FNSS Kaplan MT

The precise direct fire capability of the KAPLAN MT provides the vehicle with the required striking power along with its superior tactical and strategic mobility. The electronically controlled power pack and suspension system located behind the tank give the vehicle high mobility in all kinds of ground and climatic conditions.
The KAPLAN MT gets its advanced mobility from its 6-wheel anti-shock suspension system based on double pin tracks and torsion shafts. It is a tank that successfully combines its adaptability to the terrain and superior driving control features, especially in mountainous, high rough terrain conditions where main battle tanks will have difficulty entering, and on roads with low-carrying bridges.

Yeah. I'm thinking the CIA & SOCOM haven't quite left Afghanistan...I'm thinking they're in Panjshir...

The fact that the Taliban haven't mounted a full on assault on this enclave tells me all I need to know. The CIA & SOCOM have their lilly pad to rescue trapped Americans and to deal with the Taliban long term. The war continues (my guess) but its just low key. Contractors, Spooks and Snake eaters ball/olympics/playground. Whatever you call it they're doing shit!

Is it perspective or just the fact that the J-20 is one big fighter?

I call this beast a fighter but I wonder if that's correct. Looking at this pic all I can think is that its one BIG ASS interceptor! Maybe its just perspective but I wonder if this thing is approaching the A-5 Vigilante in size.
