The SAAB Coupe was fun, but didn't really cut the mustard hacking across Salisbury Plain....

Is the guard rail around the tanks an Aussie invention if you'd call it that???

Hi threedogs,
The so-called "guardrail" around the vehicles is known as Bar Armour, the idea is that it either catches, disrupts or causes pre-detonation on an Rocket Propelled Grenade ( RPG - also known as a bazooka), thus making the RPG inefficient or destroying it before it has a chance to go bang ! - I don't know where it was invented, but I have an idea it may have been a British idea developed during the invasion of Iraq.
I hope this answers the question !
Thanks to liking the pictures as well
bar armour was designed by germans in WWII for the Wehrmacht, it used to be caller slate armour, there are a couple of different designs now, even a wire rope mesh, but the stop RPGs from detonating as the tip needs to contact to go
