Vehicle ID Help
« on: 25 October 2016, 12:39:03 PM »
Is anyone able to say what this M113 variant is? I don't think it's an M901 or NM142, but I have no idea.



Source from the website I got it from only states "United Nations M113 APCs, Bosnia."

Excellent - thanks. Further googling and I'm sure it's the M113A2 TUA, Wikipedia stating it's a "Canadian version of the NM142 anti-tank vehicle. Very similar to the Norwegian version, but with external fuel tanks."

And found another image that confirms it:

Looks like my UN force has access to some TOW now.
