When Special Ops units are running a Black Op someplace no one expects them to be, like on the sovereign soil of a nation they aren't officially at war with, one thing they really need is a reliable vehicle that doesn't attach them to their homeland.

These dune buggies are Argentina's answer to a unique problem. The bulk of Argentina's chopper airlift capacity comes from a fleet of aging UH-1 helicopters, which simply don't have the power to lift most modern "light" military vehicles. With a maximum cargo weight of 1,300kg, Argentina's military issued a requirement for a well armed light reconnaissance vehicle weighing...   [click here for more]

Big Bang Ricochet 014: Britain's AT105 Saxon APC


In the early 1980's, as the conventional arms race between NATO and the Warsaw Pact escalated, the British Ministry of Defense saw a need for a new troop transport to completely mechanize the army's infantry. While the infantry attached to armored divisions got the Warrior IFV, the infantry attached to infantry divisions received the AT105 Saxon.

Throughout World War II and well into the 1950's, the halftrack was recognized as an excellent tradeoff between the easy maintenance and operating costs of a wheeled vehicle and the mobility of a tracked vehicle.

It was a very unusual vehicle, pulling back from the ever-increasing number of wheels placed on APCs, providing the driver with large, bulletproof windows for high visibility, rather than the typical periscopes and hatch, and providing...   [click here for more]

You can probably even name a few, like the AH-64 Apache, AH-1 Cobra, or even the Mi-24 Hind. If you're really lucky, you can probably even name ones like the Tigre or Cheyenne.

They were just the first in combat. So maybe that means the OH-23 Ravens of the Korean War? No, since they weren't armed, even if they were flying over front lines.

Or perhaps the 1000 ton rolling fortress the Germans tried to build in WW2? All quite odd, I agree, but barely made it past the drawing boards. For us, the oddest is a moped armed with a 75mm cannon.
