I've been checking eBay, I might find the offer of a lifetime and set up adventure holidays for kids to drive them around the Welsh hills and shoot paint at each other.

Russia warship heads to Africa after pirate attack
Russian navy spokesman Capt. Igor Dygalo told The Associated Press that the missile frigate Neustrashimy left the Baltic Sea port of Baltiisk a day before the hijacking to cooperate with other unspecified countries in anti-piracy efforts.
But he said the ship was then ordered directly to the Somalia coast after Thursday's attack.
According to the British-based Jane's Information Group, the Neustrashimy is armed with surface-to-air missiles, 100 mm guns and anti-submarine torpedoes.

The pranksters, 33 Russian Tanks, they could start their own country in Africa with them. Though they will need a fair bit of diesel and few 120mm shells. Like someone said, if they try and go anywhere in those things they will be get the heads blown off them by someone or other. Probably the USAF, it would just be target practice.

They jumped the wrong ship, this is turning out to be like stealing the hope diamond, what in the hell are you going to do with it? Put it on the mantel and let it look pretty?
Galbally, all Russian tanks come standard with a 125mm gun, the new one in the works may have a 145mm though.
Sorry, well I was only 5mm out though. :rolleyes:
I'm still working on the old 88mm German standard. :wah:
