Seems to have a strange turret, or lacking a gun?

Small alteration the Belgian army did to T16 Universal carriers (made in Canada, '43 till '45) in the 50's. They gave it a 90mm Gun. This could have been an allied hetzer if they would have modified it earlier :p

Maybe the guy is in front of the gun, as it isn't that impressive in size or maybe it's removed because as Invincible said, it's a command version. Can't confirm that but I'll trust his sources  ;D

Look a tiny puny gun:

It's actually based on a Loyd Carrier. More akin to Marder than a Hetzer imo.

SU-100 incident, Moscow, few day ago.



How the hell did they manage to do that, i hope the commander didn't come to a squishy fate.

As an aside, the T-34/85's and SU-100's are Model 1969's, hence the T-55 style starfish roadwheels.

Heh, the evidence is left behind in the bottom left of the corner (look near the telephoning guy's left leg).

@sillian,: I said Hetzer because it has like twice the speed of the Marder, it is also a lot lower then the Marder.

For the SU-100, it is very likely a loading incident of you ask me, it probably drove improperly on the truck, skid of the side and capsized. That bottle could be the reason for it :p

I did not know they still made those in 1969, lol, i just tought they were WW2.

Why would they change a completely working design? When it comes obsolete, it's another matter.

Not quite. Half a minute of wiki-fu gives this explanation:
Quote
By the end of 1945, over 57,000 T-34s had been built: 34,780 original T-34 tanks in 1940–44, and another 22,559 T-34-85s in 1944–45 (The Russian Battlefield 1998a, 1998b). --- In 1946, after the war, 2,701 T-34s were built, and large-scale production ceased. Production was restarted under licence in Poland (1951–55) and Czechoslovakia (1951–58), where 1,380 and 3,185 T-34-85s were made, respectively, by 1956. --- In the late 1960s, Soviet T-34-85s underwent a modernization program (T-34-85M) for export and reserve service, being retrofitted with drivetrain components from the T-54/55 series tanks—a testament to the level of standardisation in Soviet tank design.

I don't know, I know there is one in the KLM-MRA in Brussels and probably some more in the Depots of Kapellen and Visenaken.
