This piece of kit is in the Muckleburgh Museum equipment compound awaiting restoration. Some kind of radar directed mobile light anti aircraft cluster. What nation and what era ?

Light armour, adequate sized engine, big turret to hold four belt-fed AA guns and tracking radar. The sand brown colour makes me think it might be a Gulf War I ex-Iraqi vehicle. Any documentation in the museum files? The vehicle is listed on the Collections page, so they know they have it

If the website was so informative, how come you had to come here to ask what the vehicle was?

The internet is a great source of information provided you have a name or title for a search. A photo with no accompanying information cannot be used to initiate a search, as far as I know.

Actually, yes it can. Open google images, then drag your image from the site onto google images search box. It will search for similar images.
It boggles the mind. |

Ha Ha! I didn't know that Rob! I just tried it with my search for pictures of Velocette MAF's and it came back with every other make of bike that I wasn't looking for. It is another string to our bow though.

I got to see a Skyguard battery light up a B1 (with blanks) when we were playing OPFOR during OPMARCOT 98 in Stephenville, NFLD. The noise of the four massive afterburning F-101-GE-102 turbofans added to 35mm fully-automatic cannons was impressive....felt as much as it was heard!

Most of the Soviet client states fielded these at one time or another. I saw both the Zsu-23-4 as well as the trailered Zu-23-2 in Syria in '98/'99. The Israelis have a captured Zsu-23-4 at their museum in Latrun as well.

Used to be a ZSU 23/4 at the Museum of Army Flying at Little Wallop. Still there for all I know!
