Kettenfahrzeuge der Bundeswehr
Since the end of the Cold War and the increasing global asymmetric threats, the Bundeswehr's areas of responsibility and the focus of its equipment have changed. What has remained, however, is the aim of being able to master new missions in the future with the best possible equipment.
In this volume of the Spielberger series, which contains over 271 illustrations, Jürgen Plate introduces the military vehicles of the Bundeswehr, including transport and reconnaissance tanks, infantry and battle tanks. He explains their technical features, equipment and areas of application in a competent but understandable manner.
The M113 armored transport vehicle is a special success story. It has been built for more than 50 years and is used by over 50 countries. It was also used by the German army, and the last vehicles were only decommissioned in 2010. The M-113 has been repeatedly modified, optimized and adapted to changing requirements. This book describes the development, technology and use of this vehicle.
Each type is presented with a photo, a historical description and a technical data sheet.
