    Remote-controlled 5cm FlaK 41 battery

    In the late-war period a battery of the ill-fated 5cm FlaK 41 was directed by a remote controlled system, overcoming it`s manual traverse problems and testing what would be the Gerät 58 5,5cm control system. Does anyone know about this development?

    Hello again everyone, I am not sure how rare this is, yet I stumbled across the following link while looking for inspiration: https://www.panzer-modell.de/berichte/brencarrier/bren.php At first, I thought it was a tongue-in-cheek story invented for a model, similar to the likes of Luft46...

    Kazantsev ET-1-627

    Just found this, and thought I would share it: https://alternathistory.com/teleupravlyaemye-krasnoarmejtsy-elektrotanketka-fantasta-kazantseva/ It seems to be a little-known Soviet equivalent to the German Goliath (and likewise French Kegress Machine).

    Romanian remote-controlled tracked mine (1944)

    In some sources, a Romanian remote-controlled demolition vehicle - supposedly, a version of Sd.Kfz 302/303 "Goliath" tracked mine - is mentioned. According to a few available data, though, this machine was much larger, about 2 tons, and supposedly radio-controlled. It was tested in 1944...

The hull was a normal planing bow with a tunnel aft to carry a Pentane A/S homing torpedo. The hydrofoils and rudders were separated to allow the...
