What is it?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Anyone know what this is?



And if you can, where can I find better pics of it?

It's reminiscent of some Soviet T-54/T-55 tanks that I heard were converted with jet engines to blow out oil fires in the Gulf - Googling on that might give something.

Edit - here's what I was thinking of, not sure if it's the same idea or not:

Recently discussed elsewhere, I think it was generally agreed that most likely application was mine uncovering and perhaps destruction as well (with enough heat).

Lighter vehicles (with what appear to be the same probably Nene engine arrangement) have been used for runway clearance of ice/snow.

Looking at that hook/cutter arrangement above the exhaust I would say its most likely to be for dealing with oil fires and any wreckage they generate..
