OMG.......that was both fascinating and entraining at the same time!!

I found myself wondering what a Javelin or Milan would do to some of these......I wonder if they'd hold up?

There was video from Syria where daesh used heavily armored bulldozers with suicide driver to deliver huge load of explosives, they were slow and not maneuverable but ATGM couldn't stop them.

For when you want truck mounted artillery, but the budget doesn’t go far enough for an Archer...

"French Saint-Chamond tanks had long bodies with a lot of the vehicle projecting forward off of the short caterpillar tracks, making them more liable to get ditched in trenches. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Chamond_(tank)

I was a big A-Team fan as a kid.
I wonder if and how do they test those contraptions, from an armor vs projectiles point of view.

Rocket launcher in tractor, Argentine forces, Falklands War

That's an interesting one - have read more than few books about the Falklands and don't recall any mention of it. I know the Argentines rigged a shipbased Exocet be fire from the ground from some kind of shore based launcher - they actually managed to damage HMS Glamorgan with it.

From the Random Falklands War Photos:

1982. Argentine rocket launcher installed on a playground. Falkland Islands

Not the Exocet launcher but still an interesting contraption.

Indeed, that's an Imperial War Museum stamp in the corner. Was apparently taken at Goose Green - https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205190542
