ABRA

Notes: This German vehicle is an M-113A1G (the German-made version of the M-113 APC) mounting a counterbattery radar. The radar may be raised up to 10 meters above the ground and has a range of 25 km. The vehicle is amphibious only when the radar is folded against the hull. The ABRA has a 5 kW generator on the roof for running the radar with the engine off, to conserve fuel.

TH-301/TAM

Notes: This is a light tank designed in the mid-1970s for the Argentine Army as a companion to the VCTP armored personnel carrier. Based on a lengthened Marder chassis, the TAM (Tanque Argentino Mediano, the Argentine name for the vehicle) is topped with a turret mounting a 105mm NATO gun. Budgetary difficulties cut short the sales to Argentina, but then some of the surplus was sold to Malaysia and Thailand after upgrading, and production was ramped up again. (These vehicles are known as TH-301s.) There is a driver’s hatch on the front left of the deck; the turret is mounted in the rear of the vehicle with a commander and loader’s hatches on the turret deck. In the rear of the hull is a door that is normally used for resupply, but can be used as a quick exit for the crew if the vehicle is taken out of action.

Twilight 2000 Notes: When the Twilight War intervened, production and the undelivered vehicles were shifted to domestic use.

Wiesel 1

Notes: The Wiesel 1 is a light and inexpensive scout vehicle used by the German Army by the hundreds. They are easy to build, fast and maneuverable, and can be serviced using common automotive parts. The standard version uses a 20mm autocannon, but the design is very versatile and had spawned numerous variants, some of which are listed below. The autocannon carriers typically have a crew of two, with the driver in the front right of the hull and the commander in the turret. They may be easily carried in aircraft and heavy helicopters, dropped by parachute or LAPES, or sling loaded by helicopters as small as the Blackhawk.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Dozens of these vehicles were used by the US 82nd Airborne Division and 75th Ranger Regiment during the Twilight War.
