Συλλογή φωτογραφιών ενός Ροϊκάτ, The Rooikat (Afrikaans for “Caracal”; literally “Red cat”) is a wheeled armoured fighting vehicle built in South Africa for the South African Army. It was designed for combat reconnaissance and seek and destroy operations. Its secondary roles include combat support, anti-armour and anti-guerrilla operations. The Rooikat is intended for deep penetration missions, so the wheeled design was needed for speed and to counter sandy desert conditions that might slow tracked vehicles.

Συλλογή φωτογραφιών ενός Ρετρό UE Τανκέτ της Renault, The Renault UE Chenillette was a light tracked armoured carrier and prime mover produced by France between 1932 and 1940. In 1930 the French Infantry decided to develop a light armoured vehicle able to tow and supply small cannon and mortars. In 1931 the Renault company was given the contract for production of its Renault UE, combined with the Renault UK trailer. In 1937, from a number of competitors, the Renault UE2 was chosen as an improved type for large-scale production. Of both types combined over five thousand were built, including licence production in Romania, and they were part of the standard equipment of all French infantry divisions. Most Renault UE vehicles in French service were unarmed; those in 1940 captured by Germany were used for a variety of purposes, including being armed with machine-guns, antitank-guns and rocket artillery.

Συλλογή φωτογραφιών ενός ΡΑΜ Μκ.ΙΙ, The Tank, Cruiser, Ram was a cruiser tank designed and built by Canada in the Second World War, based on the U.S. M3 Medium tank. Due to standardization on the American Sherman tank for frontline units, it was used exclusively for training purposes and was never used in combat as a gun tank. The chassis was used for several other combat roles however, such as a flamethrower tank, observation post, and armoured personnel carrier.

Συλλογή φωτογραφιών ενός Schweres Beiwagenkrad M-72 , The M-72 was a motorcycle built by the Soviet Union. Conceived as a replacement for the two heavy motorcycles used by the Red Army—the TIZ-AM-600 and PMZ-A-750—both of which had performed unsatisfactorily during the Winter War with Finland and were considered outdated designs. The replacement chosen was the BMW R 71 which had been rejected by the Wehrmacht as a replacement for the R 12. As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact the necessary legal, political and economic procedures were in place for BMW to provide the design, tooling and training for the manufacture of the motorcycle and military sidecar.

The carriages were used until the late 1970s. The gearbox was a Volvo VL 420 or Landsverk S-8082.

Teh PTS is a Soviet tracked amphibious transport. PTS stands for Plavayushchij Transportyer – Sryednyj or medium amphibious transport vehicle. Its industrial index was Ob’yekt 65. Introduced in 1965, it is large, with a substantial payload of 10 tons, two to four times the capacity of the BAV 485, and better cross-country performance, at the cost of greater somewhat higher purchase costs because it is tracked. The most common model is the improved PTS-M that is powered by a 350 hp diesel engine. It has a boxy, open watertight hull, with six road wheels per side, front drive sprocket, rear idler sprocket, and no return rollers. Like the BAV 485, and unlike the DUKW, it has a rear loading ramp. The crew is seated at the front, leaving the rear of the vehicle open for a vehicle, which can be driven (or backed) in, rather than lifted over the side. To aid in facilitating this, the engine is under the floor. Propulsion in water is by means of twin propellers, in tunnels to protect them from damage during land operations.

ΡόλοΑντιαεροπορικό άρμα κανονιού

Το Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard ("αντιαεροπορικό άρμα κανονιών Cheetah", γνωστότερο ως Flakpanzer Gepard) είναι ένα αυτόνομο, παντός καιρού γερμανικό αυτοκινούμενο αντιαεροπορικό πυροβόλο (SPAAG). Αναπτύχθηκε στη δεκαετία του 1960 και χρησιμοποιήθηκε στη δεκαετία του 1970 και έχει αναβαθμιστεί αρκετές φορές με τα τελευταία ηλεκτρονικά. Αποτέλεσε ακρογωνιαίο λίθο της αεράμυνας του γερμανικού στρατού (Bundeswehr) και ορισμένων άλλων χωρών του ΝΑΤΟ. Στη Γερμανία, το Gepard καταργήθηκε σταδιακά στα τέλη του 2010 για να αντικατασταθεί από το "SysFla", ένα κινητό και σταθερό σύστημα αεράμυνας που χρησιμοποιεί τον πύραυλο LFK NG και το νέο σύστημα πυροβόλων όπλων MANTIS. Η κινητή πλατφόρμα του SysFla πιθανότατα θα βασίζεται στο GTK Boxer.

Ολλανδική παραλλαγή : Search radar: X band, 15 km range Tracking radar: X/Ka band, 13 km range The Dutch version was officially called the PRTL (PantserRupsTegenLuchtdoelen translating to “ArmourTrackAgainstAirtargets”), pronounced as “pruttel” (meaning ‘to sputter’) by the soldiers. The Dutch series version was made public through a photograph of a vehicle from a C-Company, the first to be equipped with the new weapon. Traditionally all Dutch vehicles in a company have names beginning with the company designation letter and this vehicle happened to have the individual name Cheetah painted in bold type on its turret. Inevitably the international press assumed “Cheetah” was the Dutch name for their Gepard version and this mistake found its way into most armour publications on the subject. In 2000 the Dutch military authorities, tired of constantly having to explain all this and considering “pruttle” was hardly a martial name anyway, conformed themselves to common error and made “Cheetah” the official designation, when the system was upgraded.
