In fact, our MK II has almost the same turret design as the Wiesel with
the 20mm
autocannon.
If the Bundeswehr can make one, so can we, :p (insert one wet
raspberry).
Fast tracked and light armored (lightly armored for Recon units!)
vehicles can be
possible. Our Badger MK I and MK II's are one man, (MK I) and two man,
(MK II).
That's even smaller than the Wiessel, which has a crew of 3.
BTW, Thanx for the link Karl
