Tur (Tur 1) (Polish : Aurochs ) is a light infantry mobility vehicle designed by the Polish factory AMZ-Kutno in 2007. The Tur was designed for intervention and patrol tasks behind front lines, specially equipped for operations in dangerous areas. It has a 5 person transport capacity.
The vehicle was developed especially for the Polish military contingents in Iraq and Afghanistan in response to requests of the soldiers stationed there. Its design and armour allows it to withstand an explosion equal to 6 kg (13 lb) of TNT. [1] It may be fitted with a remote turret. Mechanical part comes mostly from IVECO (engine, transmission, suspension). [2]
It is designed as a safer and more modern alternative to the Humvee operated by the Polish Army. [1] Despite needs of military contingents, as for 2009 no orders were made, and a contest for a light armoured patrol car (LOSP in Polish) was not settled (its main counterpart is Iveco LMV). As of 2008, five prototypes were made, two of them were destroyed in tests. The last, fifth one has modified look of a forward part, and minor improvements. [2] In 2008 AMZ-Kutno developed new, bigger variant Tur II. [3] Two prototypes Tur 3 vehicles completed mobility trials with the National Security Guard. [4] A single Tu IV prototype was developed for the Indonesian National Guard. [5] The Tur V and Tur VI were unveiled at the International Defense Exhibition in Poland (MSPO). [6] In 2018 the AMZ Tur VI went into production. [7] The Tur VII was introduced in 2022, along with a medical evacuation variant. [8] [9]
The ISU-152 is a Soviet self-propelled gun developed and used during World War II. It was unofficially nicknamed Zveroboy in response to several large German tanks and guns coming into service, including Tigers and Panthers. Since the ISU-152's gun was mounted in a casemate, aiming it was awkward, and had to be done by repositioning the entire vehicle using the tracks. Therefore, it was used as mobile artillery to support more mobile infantry and armor attacks. It continued service into the 1970s and was used in several campaigns and countries.
