Before you start posting comments saying that’s not a tank, but a mobile artillery piece, let us admit that we know, but saying “tank” makes for a much more interesting story. The video of the tracked goliath with a top heavy configuration looks like it was shot in south Lebanon, where UN troops are were upholding the piece... in a white piece of armor that shoots huge shells.

The main foes that the Italian and French (this team is probably French) faced in the region came in the form of carbombs, so it’s natural that the focus of the ground team loading this vehicle onto a trailer got a bit lax.

Before you watch the video, let us tell you a couple of jokes we stumbled upon: What's the shortest list of all times? List of Italian war heroesÿ. What's so special in a French tank? The fact it has 1 gear forward and 5 reverse.
