Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

That’s really tricky, in the first it’s something familar, but on the second look:
It’s not a Semovente, not a Vickers not a Japanese or Czech or Hungarian.
I suspect the British, but I need a hint:roll:

A Czech Marder with pierced armour design… There… I guessed. :smiley:

So sorry for my protracted silence, honorable ladies and gentlemen! Unfortunately, I was beleaguered with my current professional obligations at the International Book Fair in Belgrade, but I think that very soon I will be able to serve you in full capacity.

And no, my dear Mr. Prime Minister – this is not a Czechoslovakian vehicle. However, I am taking the liberty to draw your attention to an almost incredible, but very important fact: this vehicle has the engine compartment at the front of the chassis! :wink:

Israeli.

have at it

JS-3.

The other one seems Israeli to me…

Israeli self-propelled gun, produced in the WW2? :shock:

Alas, my dear Mr. Prime Minister, that kind of a… rarity is completely out of this world. :roll:

I’m just saying things…

Italian 90/53 Self-Propelled Gun.

Could it be one of the many Waffenträger prototypes?

Actually it’s an IS-3.

If you want to be that exact it would be ИС-3. Both designation are used in western countries: IS = Iosif Stalin, JS = Joseph Stalin.:wink:

lol :wink:

Italian 90/53 Self-Propelled Gun.

You mean Semovente 90/53, my dear Mr. Prime Minister? Well, this proposal of yours surely is a significant improvement in your analytic approach, however, your suggestion is still suffering from a deliberation fatigue.

First of all, our cannon evidently has a double-baffled muzzle brake, whereas Italian solution is not equipped with this recoil-reducing device. Furthermore, Italian vehicle has only three top rollers, whereas our mystery machine has four rollers beneath the track. However, I have to admit that this suggestion of yours is much more suitable than that previously mentioned one. Please – carry on! You are obviously on the right track. :smiley:

Could it be one of the many Waffenträger prototypes?

No, my dear Mr. Kamehouse. Our vehicle is not connected with Germany. :wink:

Hm…

Sorry, no idea.

Can you give a hint, please?

Of course, my dear Mr. Tom: our machine was equipped with the 3.2 liters, one-piece-casted L-head petrol V 8 engine produced by Ford and capable to set free astonishing 85 HP! :slight_smile:

This is an Cañón Autopropulsado de 75/40 мм. “Verdaja”.

Exactly, my dear Mr. Sergej - Pieza Artillería autopropulsada de 75/40 mm Verdeja-I.

Bravo! :smiley:

That was a long search.

My offer: Yes the chassis is well-known
but what is the strange stuff on it?:wink:

Maybe a poison gas attack tank. The cones have lights in them, and the long tubes have a poison gas in them, to be detonated behind enemy lines… :wink:

Very good!:smiley:

The gas isn’t poisonous but you are definitely on the right track.
