PROTOTYPE HISTORY

In the last years of World War II strategists and manufacturers of military equipment began to think about new generations of weapons. And one of the successful embodiments of the new concepts of armored fighting vehicles was the French light tank "AMX-13".

Its first prototypes appeared in 1945 and its subsequent modifications were used in military operations until the XXI century.

This maneuverable tank with a length of 5 meters and a height of 2.4 m originally possessed several unique design features. The most important of these was the "rocking" turret. The main design principle was that after the gun had fired, returning impulse was delivered to the turret and caused a new shell to move to the breech block of the gun and the loader mechanism to push it inside the barrel. This allowed automatic firing at a rate of up to 12 rounds per minute! Considering that such tanks were equipped with a 75-mm gun, this turned the tank into a vehicle for the continuous destruction of everything in the line of fire.

Further modifications of the "AMX-13" were equipped with 100-mm and even 155-mm guns. In such a form it could compete with medium tanks and mobile guns. However, another difference of this tank was its speed. It could reach up to 60km/h on a hard surface (up to 400km), get over obstacles up to 60cm high, ditches up to 1.5m deep, and water obstacles up to 0.8m deep.

Along with the brilliant characteristics, "AMX-13" also had disadvantages. It had weak armor, which was typical of light tanks, and the downside of rapid fire - the need to replenish ammunition. When the shells ran out in combat, the tank became unarmed and was often doomed to destruction.

Features

The "AMX-13" in its various versions took part in many battles in dozens of countries around the world, including the famous battles of the Vietnam War, the Six-Day War with Israel (on three sides), the Second Indo-Pakistan War, and others. The last combat use of this vehicle was seen in 2007 in Cote d'Ivoire.
