A total waste of resources? A 70 ton LAV? A ridiculous idea that someone decided on after drinking too much coffee one morning? I'm bristling with idea's but none of them sensible...

 

[Pallas Athena]

ironduke57: Yup, it's a looker.

Hales: You got the gun right. For a more complete ID, though, we need: a ridiculous, total waste of resources, 70 ton LAV wearing a very large hat. Or a name ... 

 

[ironduke57]

Okay. Let´s get this one out of it´s misery. It´s the FAADS "Paladin". M1 hull, new turret with 25mm MK and Roland AA Rockets.

Thanks for the mercy killing, Ironduke!

It was indeed the Paladin/Roland, a Hughes/Euromissile submission for FAADS-LOS-H. Hughes lost out to Oerlikon/Martin Marietta (MIM-146A ADATS) before the whole program tanked in '92.

Over to you.

OK. Try this one.

In my book on Operation Totalize I called it a contendor for the ugliest military vehicle of all time. It is the Canadian armoured 15 cwt or 3/4 ton truck, made I think by Chevrolet. There is an ambulance version in the Canadian War Museum.

If I am correct, I pass on posting.

You beat my by ~6 minutes 
But I'll post in your absence then

 

[Old and Tired]

Correct. C15TA armoured Truck. Build by Chev to a British Spec, then used almost exclusively by the Canadian Army during the war years. Served with a host of European nations after the war.

[RICE] your up, Old Sweat gave it a pass.
