Info N/A

The Bofors VAK 40 S 49 (Wagon Autocannon Swedish model 1949) was a Swedish early Cold War project to develope a SPAAG (self-propelled anti-aircraft gun). It was to connect to a fire control unit with radar for calculated fire. Project scrapped in 1959 ish. Army designation was initially lvkv...

Im looking for the upgrade proposals made for the Gepard SPAAG either before it was phased out in Bundeswehr service in 2012 or for the various export attempts (Chile, Saudi Arabia...). Sadly i dont have access to a good book on the Gepards history, so my contribution will be mostly limited to...

I found this Bofors poster of the Indonesian Armed Forces' day commemoration of 1986. The poster suggests this is a SPAAG vehicle named Trinity, or at least some parts of it were. Quick search results in several examples of the Bofors Trinity turret being installed on the MOWAG Shark chassis...

Were there ever plans to create a Centurion SPAAG variant other than one with a Marksman turret fitted?

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...

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...

air defence turrets with gau-12 and gau-13 gatling gun

Evening gents I was looking for information on the Soviet ZSU-37 SPAAG, when I discovered that there was a ZSU-37-2 Yenisei. The only information I could find was - The ZSU-37-2 Yenisei is a later, unrelated design based on the chassis of the experimental SU-100P self-propelled gun. It was...
