Okay, my search skills are one step below "Google? Wha's dat?" (Okay not that bad, but close. LOL)
I am looking for the names of various armoured vehicles, ie: we call the M-1 series of tanks 'Abrams', and I remember from my stint in the service the ZSU 23-4 was called the 'Shilka' and the Isrealis have the 'Merkhava' tank.
What do other countries/languages call their vehicles?
Okay, I have one other question: The US named it's tanks after generals and this started from the Brits in WWII. Why did the Brits name them after US Civil War generals?
