If you don’t know what drifting is, it’s a motor sport that involves getting the car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx2tB9wph4E or truck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSfgyvHGFeY sideways (or for idiots, an on road activity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEi7UQE7d7Q ).

And now, tank drifting.

Imagine drifting and then it just topples over, poor guys inside. Anyway where they get the permission to drift a multi-million dollar tank.

Maybe its a private one…If it was realy in the military I bet the guyd be shot.

Also, I don’t know if this is the modern attitude, but there used to be a ‘it’s all good training’ approach to a lot of activities that weren’t part of regulation training, as long it helped develop military skills, attitudes and confidence. Testing armoured vehicle limits was one of those things, although god help anybody who badly bent the firm’s vehicle or, worse, seriously injured someone.

Yes, that was pretty amazing. I didn’t think you could do that kind of thing with something so heavy:shock:
