German soldier shows stability of tank (video)

He places a glass of beer on its machine gun and the tank rolls down a hill

Newsroom June 26 08:31

A German soldier places a beer on the tip of a tank’s machine gun showing off how stable it is. The video shows a black beret-wearing member of the German Army’s Panzer Corps pouring a beer into a stein mounted on a tank’s 120-millimeter gun barrel. The Leopard II model battle tank then rolls across rough terrain and doesn’t spill a single drop.
