    Israeli AFVs

    I couldn't find a thread related to Israeli AFVs in general, so I'm hoping all Israeli AFV related stuff can be consolidated here. Obviously it's not all just Merkava. Short story: IDF is looking into adding drones and LMs to its AFVs. Background: This is fairly old news. It's all part of the...

    B2, B3, BB and other secret French battle tank projects

    Hi everyone, As previous threads on French interwar-1940 vehicles, I am creating a new one centered on unbuilt Char B projects. This will deal with pretty obscure vehicles, which we presently have few or no illustrations of. B2, B3 and BB: It is possible to go all the way back to October 28...

    ERA on lightly armored vehicles

    During tests run by the USSR, it was determined that putting ERA on lightly armored vehicles was a bad idea, as it would break the hull. I see lots of people talking about "it's a vbied now lol" every time a photo shows ERA on a vehicle with less than BMP-3 levels of armor. But the thing is, we...

    Butchinsky's "Combat Fork"

    Managed to find some info on this, thing. It's a design by S.E. Buchinsky, proposed in 1940. It's a wheel battery based on GAZ-A truck with 3x 45mm, that somehow should be able to rotate to the sides, allowing all 3 guns to point at the same target. Armourwise, the cabin would be 10mm thick...

    Early British Gas Turbine for AFVs

    It seems that CA Parsons suddenly constructed gas turbines in 1954 for Conqueror prototype P.7 07BA70 and made it the first AFV to have a gas turbine engine. Cuz I have never read any materials about the development of early British gas turbines for ground vehicles. Anyone knows something about...

    LOHR VPX 5000 light armoured vehicle?

    G'day once again gents I am looking for information on the French LOHR VPX 5000 light armoured vehicle. A neat little AFV, which looks as though it could have been as versatile as the West German Wiesel series of light armoured vehicles. From what I can make out, it was proposed in a 120mm...
