Newsflash! Japan's military notices the Soviets are gone

GSDF's tank forces may be scaled down
SAPPORO, June 24, Kyodo -The Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force's tank forces, which were strengthened chiefly in northern Hokkaido during the Cold War as a deterrent against the Far East forces of the former Soviet Union, are expected to be halved from the peak of about 1,200 vehicles to less than 600 in the near future because the main threats now are seen as ballistic missiles and terrorism.

My favorite Anime quote:

"You want us to fight crime? THEN GIVE US MORE TANKS!"

Dominion Tank Police

They should give the decomissioned tanks to the police. And train them on their use. And give them ammo!

It might motivate the bastards to start doing their jobs...at least they'll have fun with those damn bosozoku kids!

Memo to invading countries: Please use Route C.

... Route C, for example, is the only road in Japan that has been reinforced for the passage of tanks, and most other roads would have problems permitting rapid deployment of the armored vehicles even in time of emergency ...

For Sale: 14 year old, 50 ton tank. 90 in stock. Only used to go to the shops (along Route C). Good condition. Will consider any reasonable offers.

Just remember to stick to the path - Route C - or your invasion may not get far ...


BTW is that Evil Pongi just inside the turret ...

Hah hah, that's hilarious. Didn't anyone tell those guys that the cold war ended some time ago?

And what's the deal with Route C? I'm sure that a tank-friendly road would be nice for an invading forces, but there's more than one way to skin a cat...
