1967 US MICV mock up in Janes Weapons Systems
I wonder if anyone with a first or second edition copy of Janes Weapons Systems (1969 or 70) could help me track down an image showing a Marder like mock up of a US MICV design for the 1967 MICV competition. I photocopied it some years back from a Library copy (now no longer available) and...- uk 75

Help needed identifying unknown SPAAG prototype
G’day gents I’ve stumbled across this web site http://doktorkurgan.livejournal.com/36798.html?thread=61630 which depicts a prototype (in 1977) SPAAG, which from what I can make out (via translation), combines a 25mm cannon, with the chassis of the XM-701 MICV! It appears it’s a response to the... -

British Chobham armour MICV
From Sealordlawrence's post on MBT-80 I would add that at this point the British Army was also scheming 1,900 MICV's (which were originally meant to have Chobham armour and a 750hp engine with a total weight of 30 tons). MBT-80 was apparently cancelled in July 1980, it seems that prior to this...- PMN1

NATO Mechanised Infantry Combat Vehicle for 60s and 70s
The Russians introduced their BMP family of MICVs in the 1960s. In NATO the only country to do likewise was Germany which replaced its basic HS 30 vehicle (an early MICV of a sort) from the 70s with the Marder. Modified Marders are still in service with the German forces. In contrast Britain...- uk 75

This Rapier/Marder project looks a very thorough thought...- Pioneer
