“Riding in a Scorpion tank is literally like being in the middle of an explosion. All around you are the sounds of small-arms fire deflecting off your armor, and the head-bashing boom of the 90mm gun.

I listened to it for much too long.” | “Riding in a Scorpion tank is literally like being in the middle of an explosion.
