    Type 96 APC air defense system

    It is supposedly a short range air defense missile system built on the Type 96 APC chassis. I tried Googling, but I couldn't find anything on it. The only thing I found was the source I found it from. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Here is the source I got it from...

    Taktisches Luft-Verteidigungs-System (Tactical Air Defense System) [TLVS] 1980s

    The primary contractors on this late 1980s program were MBB, AEG and Siemens. Unfortunately it fell prey to the post-Cold War peace dividend, being cancelled in favour of what originally had been a stopgap program as far as Germany was concerned, the US led Advanced Tactical PATRIOT, later to...

    RBS70 air defence turret

    I’m looking for any copies of a picture of a self propelled RBS 70 turret developed in Sweden in the 1980s. It was marketed widely but with no takes and I can’t find any pictures of it around the place now. This was a fully armoured turret with all the RBS 70 guidance equipment inside and a...

    Rapier SAM / Marder MICV Combination Project

    I found this proposal for a British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) Rapier SAM system incorporated into a West German Marder MICV chassis, in a copy of a 1972-73 Jane’s Weapon Systems, which I purchased the other day in a second hand book shop. This Rapier/Marder project looks a very thorough thought...

    BAC PT 428

Apparently the UK gave up its own equivalent of Mauler, a system called BAC PT 428, and then had to adopt the simpler Rapier when Mauler was cancelled. As far as I can gather...

    60s Point Defence Missiles: Mauler and the UK PT 428

    The US Mauler system for point defence was also intended for the British forces, both in its land and sea versions. It is interesting to speculate what the system would have looked like in UK service. Even more fascinating is the BAC PT428 missile system, similar to Mauler, but cancelled in...
