Try a Saturday night out in Whitley Bay. You can probably manage to find a combination of the two.
We don't have "anything that macho" because we spend 2% of our GDP on weapons rather than the 13% which the Soviet Union gleefully spoffed.
Multiply our defence spending sixfold and we'd have something a sight more impressive than the Tu-160, pretty as it is.
I love the T34 more than I have loved any woman.
Am I wrong?
Not necessarily, but I hope you wipe it down after you finish.
The Centurion shits all over the T-34.

So do a lot of tanks that were built decades later, but for its time it ruled.
The Centurion first appeared in January 1945 and was in full service by 1946.
Hardly "decades later" than the T-34.
ok, fairy nuff.
The T34 was around in 1940 tho' and there was a lot of tank stuff happening during the war.
Apples and oranges.
You'd expect a heavy tank to beat a medium.
How does the Centurion measure up against a JS-3, though?
We do have two shiny aircraft carriers,no planes yet, but they have a cute gun at one corner.

Great !
That aircraft is quite tasty, but why is it in Morris Marina w̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ beige?
At least ours are a reasonable, militaristic grey, although personally I'd have mine done in matt black with all hammers and sickles and stuff. Keep the red star though of course!
But their carbon footprint is terrible
Vulcans are AWESOME. And they could totally have a Blackjack in a fight. Sadly they fell victims to David Cameron's cuts (probably). Boo!
Vulcans were axed years ago, I'd guess late last century.
We were going to replace them with something but spent huge bundles of money on some stuff that never quite got finished.
I liked Vivienne Westwood's white tank (or APC, whatever): http://www.theguardian.com/environment/video/2015/
