Anti Tank M1008s....no joke...

[linx310]

Check this out...this country uses M1008s as an anti tank platform.

I tried a search and did not see this stuff posted before so I am hoping its new.

Chevrolet M1008 Estoni | Sobchak Security

Figured this might give some one an idea to build one with a demilled TOW.

looking at the left side of them it appears they came from GL.

 

[unclemikey]

Love to take that to the local range.

LOL!!!

They probably got them cheaper than we can these days .

HA! I love it! Probably bent driveshafts and all.

Ever go to GL for a preview and see a truck with FMS freeze papers in the window? Thats where they go.

hope they don't have to fight in cold weather.

We've had TOW launchers on HMMWVs some we first got them. Not too surprising they were only other vehicles. Anyone remember the 120mm AT guns on Jeeps back in Korea?

120mm is a BFG.....could you mean the recoiless rifle????

Yes, I'm referring to the Recoiless rifles.

I'm guessing that make more sense than the grossly overloaded TOW M151s we used to break springs and shackles on every time they hit a few big bumps. they were so top heavy that they'd flop over in a light breeze.

It looks like they will have a Chinese fire drill for crew drill when it comes to reloading. The reloads are in that box under the diamond plate and it is in the lethal zone of the blast area for the whole frontal arc. It also looks to have very limited traverse to the right side and that gunner's seat sure doesn't look like they expect to use it often.

I wonder if the intent is to always fight dismounted?

Interesting to say the least. I was thinking I could do something similiar to the M1009.
Cut the crew hole in roof and have storage in cargo area .......
O.K. next question Geography for 300.
What Country is this from?

 

[KsM715]

My guess would be Estonia

 

[jasonjc]

What about the jeep that had the NUKE rocket on it.

 

[brianrbull]

A NUKE on a Jeep.... I would LOVE to see that.....

 

[uscgmatt]

This is one.

Heck we used to carry the same system on a mule!

Interesting picture. I would have thought the mounting point for the TOW would have been the same as the recoiless rifle at the circular cut-out in the center of the bed. I'll post some .50 Cal mount pics in the future.

Least we forget..........THE DREADED FRENCH ARMED VESPA . If I remember right, it had a 75 on it.
