ROCA AMX-13  ???

(Actually it's a Singaporean AMX-13SM1 training in Taiwan and wearing ROCA serial number for administrative purposes.)

Source collection HERE!

Sorry, I detract from the main thread, but I find it fascinating how Singapore has been able to physically and politically been able to establish so many foreign training areas - If I remember correctly, it's included France, United States, Australia and now as depicted - Taiwan 🤔😯

AA versions:






TA-20 20mm turret with RA-20 search and tracking radar is very compact and impressive AAA turret arrangement IMO. Would it take much for this turret to be upgraded to 25mm cannon?

If I may, I've just read:
Quote
The AMX VTT/VCI was the first French APC and IFV (Infantry fighting vehicle). It was developed in the 1950s based on the prolific light tank AMX-13 after a specification of 1952 from the army for an APC, and two rejected prototypes from Hotchkiss.

For a 'whatif', does any one have the designation,  pictures/drawings of these 'two Hotchkiss prototypes?🤔

I'm presuming the Hotchkiss CC 2/Hotchkiss TT 6 which led to the Hotchkiss SP1A which led to the Schützenpanzer SPz 11-2 Kurz and related (shown alongside):

Yeah, I know - Austrian derivative but this one's for Hobbits. Maybe it's battery powered, Musk style?

I'm thinking the main gun is a dummy (or maybe a permeant .50 cal subcal) and that the Hoffman Device (over the tube) is it's primary weapon.
