What are these?


Seen at the Huntsville Veterans Museum, but I don’t know what they are. Restoration of these may be my son’s Eagle project.





I know one (or more!) of our smart readers will know.

    Congrats on your son (and you) going for Eagle!

    My son is on the other side of the line having just crossed over from Webolos to first year Scout (a/k/a Webolos III)

      We said to him after he made Life Scout, “Up until now, we’ve been just supportive of your Scouting, but now, you finish.” He has three cousins who have all achieved Eagle rank, so there’s some good peer pressure, too. He turns 16 this month, so there’s plenty of time.

    The one with the turret is a Panhard VCR. It’s a special export version sold only to Iraq, for use as a tank destroyer with the HOT ATGM launcher. Probably spoils of war from the first go-round in 1991.

    Oh yeah – the other one is an old Soviet BTR-152.
