Good stuff. I like the T-34 with the lanyard . Mark Felton did a couple of videos on WW2 ships that are still in service, one of which is an LST used on D-Day, and still being operated by the Philippines navy.

Interesting that the only western tank still in service is the M5 Stuart, when more capable vehicles like the M24 chaffee have disappeared.

You're right, it would definitely be more likely for the M-24 to remain in service. One of my military history interests is the French Indochina war, and the fascinating story of how Chaffees were dismantled,transported by air and reassembled at Dien Bien Phu.blanston12 wrote: ↑22 Nov 2021, 22:08Interesting that the only western tank still in service is the M5 Stuart, when more capable vehicles like the M24 chaffee have disappeared.
If anyone likes Tank Chats on Youtube, here's a recent one about the Chaffee, in David Fletcher's inimitable style:
