Ironsight 1 Posted March 22, 2007 Isn't this the M1989 (yes, I know there is practically no way of telling )? Yes, seeing as it is probably Iranian or Iraqi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathy 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Would appear you're right xawery: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/dprk/m-1978-170.htm Better start thinking about what you're going to post Don't know how you guys know all these, i wouldnt have a clue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raedor 8 Posted March 22, 2007 I recognise the T-55 chassis, after working on them for years... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xawery 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Well, Ironsight was first but I'm going to cheat a bit and post a pic anyway Behold: Whoever gets this is my personal hero, especially if you know what its codename means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathy 0 Posted March 22, 2007 It's an improvised armoured car called 'Kubus', made by the Poles during the Polish Uprising in 1945. It was called Kubus after the wife of the chief engineer of this thing, who died during a bombing raid during construction. That took a fair bit of research!! Nice one!

xawery 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Well done Pathy, it took you little more than an hour! I should add that "Kubus" was her codename, not her real name: "Kubus" is the diminutive of "Jakub", the Polish form of Jacob. It would be strange to see a woman go by that name Where did you find the answer by the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pathy 0 Posted March 22, 2007 I knew it had to be an Armoured Car from the ww2 era just by its appearance, so i found a list of ww2 armoured cars and started trawling through them, referencing them using google image search. Took some time, but i'm afraid no recognition skills came into it, nonetheless quite a facinating backstory, and obviously a very unique piece! Answer was found here btw: http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pol/kubus.htm Lets move things on shall we. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackScorpion 0 Posted March 22, 2007 Damn you Ironsight, just found it about an hour earlier (check T-54 which eventually led to that Type 59 based thingy)... oh well. Above we have Lavochkin La-250A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Messiah 2 Posted March 22, 2007 spent 20minutes searching sites, but I think I may be following a wrong trail. my first guess is a local version/modifcation of the Ferret Armoured Vehicle - Anywhere from a MK2 onwards given the apparent age of the picture, and that it has a turret... but I can't find anything further than that - Like i said, I may have gone down the wrong path with the ferret, but im pretty sure its the same family at least.

Messiah 2 Posted March 22, 2007 I knew it wasn't british, but it just screams Ferret, if you ignore the turret - obviously they took a few design ideas from it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
