The Church Tank: Not Aerodynamic Enough For Battle

Filed under: Hacks, Transportation

The Church Tank is the brainchild of Russian artist Kris Kuksi, and you probably already guessed that it makes a statement about war in the name of religion. It’s not an actual tank, only a model measuring 8″ h 4″ w x 10″ d, but I have a feeling that a full-size version would generate a little too much drag to be practical in battle. —Sean Fallon

I don’t think drag would be an issue. Maybe its clearance, so it couldn’t go under low bridges. But think about it. No one’s allowed to fire at a church under the Geneva Convention, so this thing is legally invincible.

Kris Kuksi is not Russian, he is American.

Is this “Church-tank type 4″ a model of a real church and an real tank ? Which ones ? And what about the other Church-tanks (type 1 and 5) ? I though Church-tank 1 was a german Tiger, but I was wrong…
