[OT] Jagdpanzer Panther

No, I am not talking about the Jagdpanther of WWII.

Which reminds me:

I came across some old press notes:

In the 1980's the Bundeswehr tended for proposals for a new 
tank-killer vehicle ("Jagdpanzer Panther") using anti-tank missiles. 
Apparently the idea was to mount a hydraulic platform on an armoured 
hull (Marder or PZH 2000). The hydraulic platform would carry a pack 
of missiles (HOT or similar) and could be elevated as high as 12 m to 
shoot over trees, low hills, or buildings.

Apparently Krauss-Maffei built two prototypes that were tested by the 
Bundeswehr.

The project was canceled in 1993.

Anyone ( Oerjan ? ) know more ? Any pictures/drawings ?

Something similar might make a nice project for a DS2 or SG vehicle 
conversion - I think one of the Battletech vehicles featured such an 
elevating turret.
