I especially like the claim of "very small turning radius IF ANY". ;-)
Well, that and the website that must have taken all of 15 minutes to
throw together...

There are lots of lawnmowers with a so called 'zero turn radius'. The
pivot point is inside the footprint of the wheels. The IF ANY
indicates the writer perhaps doesn't really understand what's going on
but that doesn't necessarily make him wrong. Tanks can turn 360
degrees without even going anywhere. One track forward, one reverse.
They call it a neutral steer. Useful to keep the thicker frontal armor
toward the enemy, without actually going anywhere and attracting
unwanted attention. Or just to manuver in a tight spot. I wished the
bulldozer I once drove could do that. It is possible to spin some cars
without going anywhere. You need rear wheel drive, and a big motor.
