The Marder 1 of West Germany

Histoire

L'Allemagne de l'Ouest a créé le Marder à la fin des années 1960 pour soutenir les chars Leopard sur la ligne de front. Les véhicules de transport précédents étaient peu protégés, mais le Marder a été construit comme un véritable véhicule de combat d'infanterie avec un blindage avant épais capable d'arrêter les obus ennemis. Il transportait des soldats à l'intérieur qui pouvaient rapidement débarquer pour combattre à pied. Le véhicule était armé d'un canon automatique de 20 mm et de missiles antichars guidés pour détruire les cibles blindées. Le Marder est resté une pièce maîtresse du plan de défense de l'Allemagne de l'Ouest pendant toute la guerre froide.
