This video appeared on youtube today.  The description says “an FSA tank belonging to the Saif al-Sham Brigades takes an IS rocket, but it glances off harmlessly.”

Photo of the Day: The Tiger-Stuart

Over at the AFV News discussion board, someone mentioned a Stuart Tank modified to look like a German Tiger in the not terribly good 1969 film “Mosquito Squadron.”  We decided it might be fun to find the film on youtube and grab a still image of the mighty Tiger-Stuart!
