Continuing on with more of what we've been looking at in the Lebreton Gallery, with military vehicles.
The Lynx was a standard reconnaissance vehicle for Canadians during the Second World War.
Motorbikes were also in use during that period.
The Mobile Tactical Vehicle Engineer is more recent, specialized for engineers but based on the standard M113 armoured personnel carrier.
Across the way, a contemporary tank with an addition. The Leopard saw service during the Afghan War. This one is fitted at the front with a mine clearing roller system.
This is the ADATS- the Air Defense Anti-Tank System, which started being used during the Cold War.
We leave off here today.
Some of these look quite scary, William.
ReplyDeleteFor good reason.
DeleteWar is so costly in so many ways ~ good photos, though ~ thanks ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteThey are scary war vehicles! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSome of these war vehicles would still be useful in Ukraine today, but drones have changed the nature of war.
ReplyDeleteDrones are the new frontier in war.
Delete...I like the motorbikes!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteThese do look scary. Thanks, William.
ReplyDeleteAt the time these vehicles must have been fairly safe.
ReplyDeleteQuite the collection of big war vehicles.
ReplyDeleteAn important exhibit. We need to learn about war, so we don't repeat it. Though, Trump thinks differently :(
ReplyDeleteThey certainly mean business, heavy indeed!
