That's Not A Tank

2S9 Nona self propelled mortar

Aljazeera included this picture with their daily update of the situation in the Ukraine, but they labeled it a tank. It kind-of sort-of looks like a tank with a big gun barrel and tracks, but it all looks too light duty to be a real tank. I posted a question on reddit and tarkin1980 was kind enough to answer.

The 2S9 is a Russian machine from 1980. They built a thousand of them.

  1. That looks really fun, scooting around the country side. Quicker and more nimble than a main battle tank MBT, yet with all the thrills of having a really big gun.
