What’s the top speed gonna be?
105-115km/h are the figures I have seen so far
(Jane’s, Waffenarsenal and some other german source)
Still looking for MILTECH or SuT sources on it rn

West German M8 rearmed with a MG42
(might be and MG3 as this is from the early to Mid-50s and the MG3 wouldn’t enter service till 1959).
I’m not sure what truck this is but it’s also armed with a MG42 (or MG3). It is west German as well afaik.
This isn’t as interesting but I’m did find a photo of a BTR-152A in East German service. Not sure if it’s NVA or KVP though.

I’m pretty sure it’s an NVA vehicle, as the M56 Stahlhelm seen in this photo wasn’t introduced until after the NVA was formed.

Is that different, i haven’t played my Alpha jet since i bought it on sale lmao, im gonna be real the Soviet Jets on Germany and such are the my main vehicles i enjoy just because of the woodland camo. Mig 23MF my beloved lol.
Shame we dont see more camos like that cause they are really beautiful works imo
Judging by the mud guards, flash suppressors and ammo box placement I think that’s a ZU-23-2 rather than a ZPu-2.
Mb, I mean the Zsu, get them mixed up sometimes lol.
New “possible” GDR Fasta-4M platform just dropped
Behold: The possible Wartburg 353W Mit Fasta-4M…
Ok so the photo doesn’t show the Fasta-4M mounted to it but the photo does claim it was offered at some point.
Rough translate of the text under the truck:
“The GDR offered liberation movements in Third World countries, among other things, the FASTA-4M, built on the Wartburg 353W Trans—a pickup variant of the passenger car.”
I can’t find much info on the truck itself but if it has the same engine/transmission as the Wartburg 353WR (group B rally version of the car), it’s top speed could be somewhere around 188kph or 112mph. However if it has the engine of the standard Wartburg 353 (most likely), I it would top at about 150kph or 96mph.
Also, would this be the first full East German vehicle? Both the launcher and the truck are East German.
Also, uaz-469 with a single Stela-2 solider on the back.
Fahrzeug Profile has a lot of intersting finds, if only I could afford to purchase the books instead of looking preview images :(

I also found in a copy of Fahrzeug profile that the GDR intended to procure 25 ISU-122s to supplement their IS-2 tank regiments. Unfortunately, they were only able to get the early ISU-122 (1943/1944) instead of the newer ones.
I’m assuming the older ones had the A-19 122mm over the preferred D-25T 122mm. They did not purchase the vehicles unfortunately.

Idk if this vehicle is fully functional but it’d be an awesome event vehiclez
training T-55, GDR
Edit: after doing some digging, I’m like 90% sure it’s a modified Su-76M hull with a superstructure added to the back rear to fit a gunnery training T-55 turret. I also am like 90% sure that the turret did work.
