Dragon Armor Combat Engineering Vehicles

The AAV7A1 family of vehicles is the newest rendition of the LVTP7 that originally made its appearance in 1971. Developed by FMC Corporation (now United Defense, LP), this 17-ton amphibious vehicle can achieve speeds of up to 64km/h on roads and 13.5km/h in water.

The USMC relies heavily on their tracked 'tuna boats' for amphibious operations. The AAV7A1 is able to operate on both land and sea with equal ease, and it has seen extensive service in Iraq since Operation Iraqi Freedom kicked off in 2003.

The M1 Abrams was the next stage in American tank development after the M60 series. Chrysler completed the prototype in 1978 and the first production vehicles appeared in 1980 with 30 tanks a month being built in the years that followed by General Dynamics, then a division of Chrysler Motors. Its advanced Chobham armour makes the M1 the best protected US main battle tank yet devised.

Early in 1943, orders were given to design a heavy, self-propelled anti-tank gun, which would mate a 12.8cm gun with a Tiger II chassis. On October 20th, 1943 a wooden mock-up of the enormous vehicle was shown to the OKH planners who authorized that a prototype be finished by April 1944.

In 1944, three Tiger I tanks were field converted by the sPzAbt 509 to recovery vehicles and redesignated Bergepanzer Tiger. In November of 1944, all three were transferred to the sPzAbt 501.
