Wait for it to advance and put one or two just under the gun...nice stable
target when it's headed right for your position. As Paul's video shows,
this won't damage the tank or injure the crew, but it will blow the tank
upside down, making it a stationary target. How many hours do you suppose
they'll need to tip it back on it's treads? Meanwhle they can call a 3
hour truce to deal with it. LOL!

Doesn't look like it's too much of a job; when it's traveling left or
right in front of you, take out the treads. At a max speed of only 37mph,
that can't be too hard to do.

Note that it doesn't use a Svede engine, instead it uses a Rolls Royce
diesel or a Boeing 502 turbine, making it agile at best. With todays laser
guided tank canons, it wouldn't take much time to put that 103 in a
grevious situation where it can be used for target practice by a modern
tank, like those used in the Desert Storm war or these days in
Afghanistan.

Max speed is rated at 60km/h. Not very fast, but faster than a duck I
guess.

 Thus, we have "Climate Change Science" - which isn't capable of
 explaining anything.
