tlodernWheeled
Nowhere
has
the
spread,
of
armament
manufachtring
capability
become more apparent
than
in
the
production
of
wheeled
armoured,
vehicles.
With
manufacture
rangring
from
the superpowers
to the
Third
World,
the
prospective
putchaser
faces
a
bewildering
choice of
equipment,
from the
simplest to
the
most
sophisticated.
Armoured
Personnel
Carriers
Pqrt2
The
wheeled
armoured
vehicle
is
inherently
less
massive than
comparable tracked
vehicles,
and its
air
and
helicopter
portability
has
found
it
a place
in
the
evolving
military
doc
trine
of
s
peedy
deployment and rapid intervention.
Most
of
the
wheeled
armoured personnel
carriers described
rn
the
flrst
part
of
this
feature (for example
the Soviet BTR-152
BTR-60, BTR-70,
the
South
African
Ratel
and
the
BLR
from
Spain)
have been developed
specifically
to meet the requrrements of the home market, although in
many
cases these
vehicles
have
been exported
in substantial
numbers,
Most
of
the
vehrcles discussed in
this
second part, however, have been
developed with company money
as a
private venture,
In
these cases the
manufacturer detects
a
gap
in the
marketplace
and designs
a
vehicle
to
meet this requirement,
A
typrcal
vehicle of
this
type is the
Belgian
SIBMAS
6x6
vehicle,
which
can
be
used
for
a wrde range of
roles
including
that of an
armoured
personnel
carrier,
The Malaysian army
had
a
requirement lor
a
new armoured personnel carrier,
and the
many
vehicles evaluated
in
Malaysia included
the
Belgian
SIMBAS, West

Brazihan EE-11

and

many
countries purchased new vehicles from

manufacturers, and there are still several companies whose entire

is

devoted
to
exports.

tested.
After

of

the

were
selected, plus
a small

Since
the end
of
World War
ll
the
MOWAG
company
has
manufactured
a
wide
range
of
tracked
and
wheeled
armoured
fighting vehicles
aimed
mainly
at
the export market, and
has
also
built prototypes
of
armouredvehi-
cles
for foreign
governments. For ex-
ample, MOWAG built
some
of
the
pro-
totypes of the West German Marder
mechanized infantry combat
vehicle,
In
the
1950s
a
4x4

ofarmoured

8,
and this was
subse-
quently adopted
by
the West German
border police
in
two
confiqwations,
the
SW
I and the SW2. The first
batch of
20
or
so
vehicles
was
supplied
drrect
by
MOWAG, but main production
was
undertaken
in
West
Germany by
Henschel
and
Bilssinq. Total
produc-
tion
in West Germany amounted
to
ab-
out
600
vehicles.
MOWAG continued
to
develop
the
MR
8
series for other
export
markets,
and
these vanants
included the
MR
8-09
sporting
a
one-man
turret armed
with
a
20-mm cannon, the MR
8-23
that
had
a
two-man

a 90-

and
a

9-32
fitted with
a 120-mm (4,72-in)
mor-
tar
at
the
rear
of
the hull. The
last
ver-
sion had an open-top hull, and before
the mortar could be fired it
had to be
lowered to the
grround, TWo
multiple
rocket-launchers
were
also
designed
