i did a quick search of this site for the above mentioned vehicle and found nothing so if there is a preexisting topic i am sorry for failing to discover its thread i was looking for any info and/ or pics about this vehicle or these vehicles ( i know of the DP-2 ( the one which almost...

I don't know if you have more info about this. The French magazine RAIDS, dedicated its special issue N°73 to the "Secret Projects of the French Armoured Forces" published during winter 2019-2020. I haven't managed to get hold of the magazine yet, but it mentions the AMX-APX ALLARM project with...

Quoted by Gary Paul Johnston and Thomas B. Nelson in "The World's Assault Rifles" - This rather curious and unusual weapon was part of a program during the 1970s to develop a very high rate of fire assault rifle (RFCT: Rifle à Forte Cadence de Tir ). Firing rate experiments were carried out by...

I am cleaning up the wiki articles on Swingfire and TOW. One source mentions that in the early 1960s when the US decided to move ahead with TOW, after promising the British they wouldn't, they argued there was no point continuing Swingfire because the French were replacing ENTAC with a...

So I have been looking at various late cold war tank projects (abrams block 3, Panzerkampfwagen 2000 ect) and one thing that keeps popping up but which i can not find any information about is the mbt-90 program, aperintly Germany figured 3ed times a charm (after mbt-70 with the US and mbt-80...

The history of the bullpup in France began long before the famous FAMAS which certainly marked its time but it was born under the constraint of the international conflicts. as assault rifle France had its misadventure during years from 1945 to 1970 with various programs and much expenditure...

There is already a thread on what might have been in the 1930s. I want to focus on the land forces. Britain and France in 1940 had some tanks (Somua and Matilda 2) which could match the Germans. If the French and British General Staffs had understood the importance of armoured units in a...

If you read French and you like weird tank projects, the latest issue of GBM Magazine (number 124) has a feature on the various French projects before WWII with multiple sets of tracks. Typically these would be two front tracks and two rear tracks, moving indepedently. The more spectacular are...

I have just discovered a tank I did not know existed. It is the AMX ELC, a light tank intended for airborne forces. It is very small but well armed, I can not find much information about it. I can't see where the drivers seat is-in the turret? If you know any more then please let me know. I...

[raises eyebrow] French army red-faced after command post stolen The French army top-brass were left red-faced when after a mobile command post worth 600,000 euros (£523,000), complete with military computers, was stolen, judicial sources said on Tuesday. 4:04PM BST 20 Sep 2011 The modular...

A late 1990's French government sponsored project for a "Ground Target For Simulating The Heat Silhouette Of A Vehicle Such As A Tank". Intended for both peacetime use as a training (including live fire) target and as a wartime mobile decoy system. Was what would be known today as 'optionally...

How are French Tanks named now? I know they were named AMX-??, but with the Leclerc, I'm confused.

Many years ago I read about this project (end of 70s or early 80s). It was a short-range small caliber rocket launcher, destroying low flying targets by salvo of unguided rockets. A box with 48 tubes was installed in the turret similar to the turrets of modern AA guns, with integral radar system...

Would anyone possibly possess illustrations of the TEL for this missile, which was supposed to replace Pluton? Thanks.
