It's a anti-air turret on top of a Leopard1 chassis, so it's technically half a tank.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
Ah, I saw something about the Swiss banning the export of ammo and I'm assuming its for that.

Re: Moldova and Romania, it's a long shot, but if Russia invaded Moldova/Transnistria and Moldova and Romania were to reunite, what are the NATO obligations there? The reunified nation would inherit Romania's NATO and EU statuses, and Russia would now have troops inside the borders of a NATO member state conducting open warfare.

Skid steers are the ones with wheels. Compact Track Loaders are the ones with tracks.

If you're looking at farmer listings it's skidsteers all the way down

Edit: colloquially I mean. I've only ever seen both referred to as skidsteers if I'm honest, so I might have gotten the technical terms mixed up
