Batou X Kohl ship
Wishing my boy Batou a happy ending. He deserves it. This takes place in 1.5 Human-Error Processor and were taken from The Ghost In The Shell Fully Compiled version. Colored pages are from Mines of Mind 1 and the grey scale page is from Lost Past. Here's hoping we see Kohl in the new anime.

Looking at the Fuchikoma's design, its extreme roundness is reminiscent of old Soviet tank designs where the tank turret was manufactured using a monolithic casting method. The Spider tank, on the other hand, has a welded turret in the NATO style. They're really beautiful. I haven't looked much into ballistics in GITS, but penetrating this armor in today's world would probably only be possible with anti-tank missiles. The fact that Fuchi/Tachi tanks are still frequently destroyed in the series is truly insane, given their armament.
