    I’m not normally one to ask the obvious questions, but how? What actually happened, do you have the story behind this?

      I’ve bumped things with a kayak on the roof of my car before, because the boat overhangs the vehicle.

      Given how long the barrel is, I can see how this might happen. Or they were in the wrong gear.

        That’s what I’m betting too, the driver was asked to put it to the side so something esle could access the garage but they forgot that the cannon extends much further out than the rest of the tank.

      Tanks don’t exactly have spacious windows.

          Oh sorry, in the US it’s classified as a light truck.

          Self-propelled howitzer, looks like a french AMX AuF1, uses the chassis of the AMX-30 tank.

      but how?

      I doubt its real. Look at the hole and the angle of the barrel. You would have to start with a lowered barrel and raise it while you drive trough to keep that hole so small.

        It might have started with a lowered barrel and there might be a hidden girder under the barrel which raised the whole tank up as the barrel slid forward over that girder. The tank does look like it’s leaning back on its suspension.
