Wiesel Armoured Weapons Carrier (AWC) aka Waffenträger Wiesel
« on: April 19, 2024, 04:41:23 AM »
About time to add this vehicle family to the "Ideas and Inspriations" forum. 

First off, here is the link to the Wikipedia page on the Wiesel Armoured Weapons Carrier

What spurred this new entry?  Well, I was watching a video at YouTube about the Wiesel and was surprised to see a rather unusual Wiesel that was fitted with what looked like a Cadilllac-Gage machine gun turret that looked a bit out of place on this vehicle that in most cases is armed with either a 20mm cannon or the TOW ATGM system.  Attached image is a screen capture from that video. 

The video can be viewed at this link: YouTube > Weapon Detective Channel > Wiesel | They ask me why I'm bringing a baby into battle
