  • The AMX-13 has entered the AusArmour restoration pipeline! It will be a while before we get around to getting it running but keep an eye on the channel for more updates!
    This French beauty arrived a few weeks ago. It needs a lot of work on the engine and a coat of paint but we are very happy with our newest addition to the collection.
    Follow the progress of our workshop restorations every Workshop Wednesday! A must watch for students of history, engineering, mechanics and metalworking! 🧐🛠️

    Now this is epic! An AMX-13 with SS.11 ATGM launchers! Please, please, please keep and hopefully restore the ATGM system, would love to see the details on that antiquatied system.

    This is truly a rare version of the AMX 13.
    The version with the SS-11 missiles was armed with the 75mm gun.
    Yours having a Thermal sleeve, indicates that it is armed with a 90mm gun
    I only knew of 1 other AMX 13/90 with SS 11 ATGM like yours and I thought it was only a modernization attempt.

      Me, I am from The Netherlands too and I watch this program every week. The AMX (I think it is the 90 mm cannon) is very interesting. The Panhard as well. But this makes me wonder whether they also are buying a AMX-30 (that is very cool) and / or a AMX-10 (again very cool). The French were always a bit different and I like that.

      @@gvdschoot The presence of a Thermal sleeve indicates that it is armed with a 90mm gun.
      Which makes it a rare example, because the AMX 13 equipped with SS11 was equipped with a 75mm gun.
      There were modernization and export tests, equipping AMX 13/90 with SS11 missiles but not adopted in France and I do not believe that this version was sold for export.
      I only know of 1 other copy of this trial version.
