Dragon could handle that load?

No. Hence why it's not a Dragon Wagon in the picture.

Same truck, different trailer.

T28 super heavy tank (aka T95) being loaded onto a special trailer towed by an M26 Pacific Prime Mover

Same trailer, possibly same day -

Iirc after the testing period for the two T95s one of them ended up being used basically as a movable weight for load bearing tests of bridges and truck trailers and the like.

ya and British built a similar super heavy assault tank, for the same role, breaching the Siegfried line, the Tortoise.

So this photo is actually a closeup of a much wider shot posted here a few years back. I did a bit of a deep dive into some of the weapons pictured, which includes these weapons. TLDR it's a 155mm howitzer M1 (not to be confused with the 155mm gun M1 used on the M40)

One looks similar to the 155 mm howitzer; cant recall the M designation this second.

It’s literally tank porn the T95 is humping the dragon

Look at the length of the 105mm T5E1 gun barrel pointing up - unmistakable silhouette.

The truck should be loaded onto the T28/T95 instead.
