  • BMW1200 in War Zone!

    I got a chance to drive a tank and shoot action in a training field. This is the result of around 3 hours on the field. There are lots of other photos which I cant publish due to security reasons.

    It was an amazing experience to see these massive seemingly invincible vehicles in action. I was often hypnotized by the mass and power they exuded while on the move. 1000+ bhps working to get such a humongous mass on the move with only one purpose - defeat the enemy. Even the training 'safe' environment was hostile - with the hard sun beating down and the GIANT clouds of dust being given birth by these metal behemoths was amalgamation enough to bring out more than a sweat. I shudder to imagine how must be the conditions in the real battlefield where the nature is the least of your enemies.

    A big salut to the soldiers and brave men who defend our country night and day!

    Equipment Used to 'shoot': Canon 450D, 400D with 10-22mm, 100mm macro, 70-200mm f4.

        Come on Sunny, the least you could have done is taken a scale model! Duh....
        On a serious note, the TATRA truck look oh so cool! Best weapon for Marsimek La

          Awesome pics as is always the case with you behind a cam, Sunny
          I thought the T90 was christened the Arjun, but i read Bhishm in one of the pics
          Some Motor 'tank' head please clarify

              The T90 was christened as Bhisma. The Arjun is indigenously developed by the DRDO.

              Sunny Bhaiya,the pics are great. Still cant understand the reason behind the BMW. Did some offroading I suppose? (not on the replice)

                    nice little OT thread in between those stupid brand wars/speculations going around in the forum.

                    Our armed forces have few of the best war heads/technologies in the world. Seeing pics/environment like these would make any Indian proudly salute the "men" with puffed out chest.
