Thun: modern swiss tanks
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: Thun: modern swiss tanks

Time to post some more exotic vehicles Razz

First of all, Pz 58, this was mostly a starting point for the Pz 61. Cast hull and turret plus the coaxial 20mm give it a "classy" look:


At first Pz 61 used to have the 20mm as well, it was replaced with a machine-gun in early '80. The tank in Full still has the 20mm, this one in Thun has the machine-gun instead:


The last swiss build MBT was Pz68, the tank in Thun is a 68/88, updated during the late '80. This model was still in active service up to 2004:


Entpannungspanzer 65. Recovery tank on Pz68 hull. This one is an early prototype, still based on Pz61 hull:


Fliegerabwehrpanzer 68. An attempt to mount Gepard's turret on top of a Pz68. After testing in 1979-80 the swiss army preferred to order the Rapier missile instead. See the bird on the gun tube Laughing


The hardest challenge in Thun is to capture the whole Centurion bridgelayer in just one single frame Laughing
This is, again, a unique prototype. After this the swiss build a bridgelayer tank on the Pz68 hull:
