Vehicle Identification M-113 Variant? > General Discussion

Posted: 10/20/2005 5:54:04 PM EDT

Don't have a picture of it but here is a description!

Looks like standard M-113A1, except it has a slightly raised portion of roof (but not as far as a M-577 Command post!)

Has three hatches(Driver, Commander and a third one on the Left rear behind the thermal viewer) and what appears to be a thermal viwer like the M1A2 commanders independant viewer right behind the front commanders hatch on the raised portion of the roof.

It is clean of any Offensive weapons, it looks like a Reconaisance vehicle of some type.

I've seen about every variant of the 113A1 series but this one.

It may be a MICLIC M113 varient.

The reason i'm asking is i found model kits of it made in Austria, it says "MTW-IFAB" if that means anything to anyone?

Mine Clearing Line Charge. I've only ever seen these as a towed trailer though, never as a self powered vehicle. Basically it fires a rocket with a string of C-4 behind it across minefields to clear paths for vehicles.

bmick, no offense but it ain't nice showing me your TOW missle practice targets!!!! I did not ask what a TOW would do to one, I asked for identification of a variant of your choice of targets!

I have seen an M113 varient that had the miclic integrated into the M113. It looks like a big pyrimid shaped tow launcher on top of the M113.

No, that was no TOW, it was 20 lbs of C-4 I packed into it and then buttoned it up.

The pic bmick showed was laser mounting on a M-113 for EOD use.
