Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

PRP - 4 MU.... but
The vehicle enjoys high performance of its base vehicle - AIFV (BMP-1): extremely high manoeuvrability, high speeds of movement, good cross-country ability and the ability to negotiate water obstacles afloat using its track assembly; sufficient armour protection. The armoured reconnaissance vehicle is provided with devices for protection of the crew and equipment inside the vehicle against the effects of mass destruction weapon, fire-fighting equipment and the devices for laying smoke screens for the purpose of consealing.

It's a PRP 3 or 4...the diff between the two of them consists in an additional fairing on the right side of the turret. Nevertheless, the PRP 3 is also known as the BMP-SON - previously known as BMP M1975...so, it starts with a B after all...

WE'll stick with the current 'title' and go with PRP-4

Next!

It is a PRP-4 period. Current titles only.

Last thing anyone wants to do is confuse somone who is actually learning this stuff as we go along.

Thank you, it has been so long since I engaged in AFV recognition that I was starting to get confused.

Shall we continue?

George
I'm guessing that it's an ARV based on the Leo 2.  But, I doubt it's that easy.  Armoured Engineer, anyway, and I would hasard a guess that it's also for explosive breaching of minefields?

 

[George Wallace]

Not Leo 2.

 

[vonGarvin]

Hmmm...tough one (and I'm not googling: trying to reason this one out)

Seven road wheels: all I can think of are leo 1, leo 2 and m1 series.  Not Leo 2.  With that cam pattern, I'm "guessing" German.  Not Leo 2, so Leo 1 variant?

 

[George Wallace]

Nope.  Wrong Nation.

 

[vonGarvin]

Well, I guess I'll have to go with USA, therefore M1 Armor Engineer Variant??


(NB: note lack of "u" in "armor")

 

[George Wallace]

Not German.  Not 'Murican.

It's a Leclerc ARV, fitted with a mineclearing kit.

 

[AmmoTech90]

C'est francais je pense.  Not sure of the vehicles but it has Polish Pronit line charges.

D

 

[BernDawg]

Check this out.  Same rig different chassis.  This one looks like a Leo1 but I'd say the other is an M1A1 chassis but still no country found?????  ???

Edit:  Damn just found it.  Yup it's a Leclerc with a K2D mineclearing kit.  Thanks Janes.
