Tank Silencer
Here's another photo that's doing the rounds on the internet. It's captioned 'Tank Silencer'. I have no idea what this device is actually used for, but somehow I don't think it's a tank silencer. So this would be a case of 'real picture, false caption.' Click image for larger version. (via

That is not a silencer. Silencers must cover the barrel as they do on pistols. But that thing is spaced from the artillery's barrel. "So what is it then", you may ask. When enemy aircraft tries to shoot down that artillery, he see a big "pFUCK you" on ground. That's what it is. It's a swearing equipment. Hell, the enemy aircraft may take a few rounds in sky and take some pictures for analysis by the time which they will shoot him down. So, its a swearing machine and also a mind interceptor.

You are all wrong. It's a new way to launch Hubble kind telescopes. The painting is to avoid to recover the sat' if launching fails (and ask for a new space shuttle mission to NASA).
