Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

No darn it! I don’t want a turn! But since you obviously won’t let me rest about this, here:

Modification of a Soviet tractor, known as KhTZ 16, my dear Mr. Prime Minister? Here is a direct link:

The only problem is that the factual Soviet designation is [b]NI - 1 “На испуг” /b. Here it is:

Yeah… I can’t hide things from you, Librarian… Have fun.

Thank you, my dear Mr. Prime Minister. I hope that our next task will be funny for you as well! So, here it is. Therefore please - take a good look and tell us what was the oficial designation of this armored vehicle? :wink:

Hi.

My guess:

Automitrailleuse de Cavalerie type Reconnaissance Renault modèle 1933 (AMR 33) prototype No. 79758 with the improved suspension tested in April 1933

Yours

tom! :wink:

Hi.

A nice one:

Yours

Oh, what a pleasant surprise - another Czechoslovakian rarity, prototype of the Škoda Š-III, my dear Mr. Tom. Here you have a direct link:

Thank you! :smiley:

Again too easy…
:twisted:

Your turn

Heya, Tom!

I know how you feel… I’d post something that I thought would be a real “stumper” either here or in the Airplanes Quiz and someone would come back with an answer in about 9 minutes… probably wasn’t such a stumper! There’s some pretty sharp characters that lurk around here, makes it more challenging!

That´s not a real problem.

It just leads to something higher than a medium level quiz…

Next times I´ll choose real hard ones :mrgreen:

Well, in that case perhaps this one will be a little bit trickier, my dear gentlemen:

Do you recognize this… pretty rare contraption? :wink:

Hm, maybe the hungarian experimental 75 mm tank hunter based on the Toldi light tank?

Correct, my dear Mr. Tom – official designation of this vehicle was 75 mm-es Önjáró páncéltörő löveg M 38, built in February of 1944 upon M 38 Toldi chassis. Here you have a slightly better snapshot:

Your turn again, my dear Sir! :smiley:

Not cool Librarian… Showing the back of things… :wink:

Oh, so sorry my dear Mr. Prime Minister – but everything is utterly intellectually undemanding when those national markings are right there in front of us. That spirit of a true, tricky mistery in that case is completely absent. :slight_smile:

BTW: diverse perspectives – if honestly presented! – are always intriguing.:wink:

Eh, we’ll see when Tom! posts his. Then we’ll see whose laughing… :slight_smile:

OK, let´s take another rear view

I’ll say an R-35 missing a track protector, an exhaust pipe, and the spare road wheel on the back, but I’m probably wrong.
