Spahpanzer 2 - Fotografije in video

V Spähpanzer Luchs (English: Lynx) is a German 8×8 amphibious reconnaissance armoured fighting vehicle (Spähpanzer) in service since 1975 with the German Army, who used 408 in their armoured reconnaissance battalions. It was developed by Daimler-Benz between 1968 and 1975, replacing the M41 and the Schützenpanzer SPz 11-2 Kurz. The all-wheel drive Luchs made by Thyssen-Henschel (now: Rheinmetall) is well armoured, has an NBC protection system and is characterized by its low-noise running. The eight large low-pressure tyres have run-flat properties. At speeds up to about 50 km/h, all four axles can be steered. As a special feature, the vehicle is equipped with a rear-facing driver with his own driving position. Up to the first combat effectiveness upgrade in 1986, the Luchs was fully amphibious and could surmount water obstacles quickly and independently using propellers at the rear and the fold back trim vane at the front.

Spahpanzer 2 Luchs je nemško amfibijsko izvidniško vozilo, ki ga je Bundeswehr uporabljal od leta 1975 do leta 2009. Ima osem koles, ki jih je mogoče krmiliti, in nazaj obrnjenega voznika za vzvratno vožnjo. Oborožen je z 20 mm avtomatskim topom in 7,62 mm mitraljezom ter ima nizkohrupni motor in zaščitni sistem NBC. Spahpanzer 2 Luchs so zasnovali Daimler-Benz, Porsche in Thyssen-Henschel in je nadomestil starejša vozila M41 in SPz 11-2 Kurz. Dvakrat je bil nadgrajen, v letih 1986 in 1991, da bi izboljšal sisteme za nočno opazovanje, komunikacijo in nadzor požara. Spahpanzer 2 Luchs je sčasoma zamenjalo vozilo Fennek v nemški vojski.
