Porsche with an attitude

Hello everybody.

For those of you interested in modern military kit. The Bundeswehr is
testing a new Reconnaisance version of its "Wiesel" airborne tankette.
Pictures can be seen at:

With its low silhouette it looks like an armoured sports car - in fact,
the
Wiesel was originally designed by Porsche.
Crew is 3 men, commander, driver and observer.
It is equipped with thermal imager, CCD camera, and Laser rangefinder
mounted on a telescoping mast, as well as up-to-date communication gear.
It is armed with an MG3 for self-defence. The MG3 is the old
Wehmacht-era MG
42 chambered for 7.62 mm NATO ammunition

Greetings
Karl Heinz
