(Yes, I know this is not strictly a tank). But it was also used in offensive tasks, as a tank.

Some say that tanks are obsolete in modern battlefield. One example is a recent total destruction of Leopard tanks in Ukraine by Russian Lancet drones. On the other hand, it may be just because Leopards were not prepared for such a kind of weapon, and tank designs will adapt for the use of drones. I hope tanks will survive of course :) What do you think?

Tiger and a T34. I later made a diorama with the Tiger wrecked and the T34 looking like a champ next to it.

No pics of that though, my son was a teenager a pre-teen at the time and decided to destroy it /

Literally just T-26 with flamethrower and radio equipment. It work as well as you'd expected for the technology of that time (read : barely), but a really ambitious project for the time.
