It’s December and I thought I’d do up a special post that honours the brave men and women who served in the British Army during the stabilisation years of Afghanistan post-Al-Qaeda. After all, this is a special month with regards to both the counter-terrorism operation and its iconic armoured...

Additionally, the Bronco 3 is a multipurpose armoured fighting vehicle. Think of it as a swiss army knife on tracks. You could have a counterdrone fighting Bronco variant, deployed by helicopters to a location suspected of enemy UAV recon activity, or a troop transport variant armed with a GPMG...

Hello. Whilst checking out the Bronco 3, I came across this tweet by defence analyst, Nicholas Drummond: . To see the Bronco 3 being flown into close to the frontlines and being deployed for use is a sight to behold. Imagine the mobility, speed and reach that it would have offered to defence...

As they say .. things change with the times. But I'd love to enter both the original and newer M113s if I could to try & immerse myself in the vehicle. Also, I'm guessing you've been deployed overseas as a M113 crewman back then?

Absolutely impressive. Goes to show how successful this APC is and how such vehicles could prove so effective and necessary in combat despite not being your standard MBT. Think the M113 went on to inspire anymore of the modern APCs?

63 years .. for all its operators or just one particular country ?

While technology and machines further the scope and capabilities of battle, troops on the frontline remain the lifeblood that push these boundaries forward; sustaining the relevance of Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) such as the iconic M113 APC. Here’s a peek back in time to the US Army’s...

Heyya, it's me again. The guy who posted on the Bronco 3 some time back. This time around, it's still on the same vehicle, but in the civilian context. Non-military I know, but still fascinating enough to share I suppose. This variation of the Bronco 3 is called the ExtremV. Attached is a photo...

Heyya guys. Recently, a relevant article concerning the Bronco 3 ATTC was published. This time around, it pits it with BAE System's Beowulf vehicle, which is proving to be a worthy contender when it comes to future Arctic operations. Here's the link to the article...

Hey guys, I'm new to SteelSoldiers. Not sure if this were the appropriate place to post a news article I found. In Singapore, there's talk of the US military customising a variant of the Bronco All-Terrain Tracked Carrier (ATTC) for future operations in the Arctic. The Bronco family of ATTCs...

I kinda have a thing for multi-purpose armoured vehicles. Vehicles that span an array of variants and roles. I hear of the German halftrack having such an advantage, which subsequently impacted the Allies to develop their own halftracks.

I was reading up on early armoured personnel carriers when I came across the Sd.Kfz. 251 - one of the earliest and most widely utilised German half-tracks of WWII. It was one of the Wehrmacht’s primary armoured personnel carriers, and deployed across multiple battlefields. The vehicle featured...
