Title: Wiesel Armoured Weapons Carrier (AWC) aka Waffenträger Wiesel
Post by: Jeffry Fontaine 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 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiesel_AWC)

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.

Love to see a bunch of Ukrainian Wiesels/Wiesel 2s of all varieties.
