Looking to ID this Armoured Corps badge
Hi Guys,
Does anyone happen to know what country this armoured corps badge is from? It has 2 lugs on back and is about 30mm high. I'm assuming its a small hat or cap badge. Mick

The strangest tank that I have ever seen as it appears to have a periscope and a conning tower.

A PT76? (Wracking my brain for details of decades old Russian tank info).

I think they swim not crawl along the river bed.

PT76 swam but had a vertical tube arrangement of some kind. It's all beyond me now, this recognition stuff, old recognition slides, books, photos, posters somewhere..........

Didn't India purchase a load of equipment from Russia when the USSR broke up? IIRC from my AFV recognition trg, the T72 and 82 had some type of snorkel rig for fording rivers. Might it be that?
