Gollevainen's Quizz of the week (old)

[Gollevainen]

Ok here's the new thread for the quizz. So to refresh the newbies, here's the rules.

1. The one that answers correct has the right to post the next quizz.
2. The quizz can be recognition pic of military (related) thing, but not post something else, like a question or similar.
3. The posting the quiz needs to follow the thread so he can annouce if the answers are right.
4. If you know the answer, please dont post any links to verify it, it will ruin the fun of the others.
5. If the poster of the quizz doesn't annouce the correct answer after it has been posted or otherwise the quizz lags or you simply dont have any quiz in your mind, Gollevainen as the grand referee has the right to post new quiz.
6. Try to not enter into deep conversations over the quizzes, so that the thread wouldnt go off topic. I will allow little moving base in this, but so far we have managed to work this pretty well.

But Ok, here is the first new quiz:
Might be bit unusual, but as there was talks about naval jacks in one of the last quizzes, and I personally poses little vexillogy intrest, here's a naval ensign of some country.

[Skorzeny]

The flag of your baltic neighbors?
The naval ensign of Latvia.

[Gollevainen]

Thats right...ok your turn to open the "real thing"...

[Skorzeny]

Starting of with an easy one,but so cool looking :)

Yep, Its the Canadian Multi-Mission Effects vehicle. a modified ADATS system on a LAV III

[isthvan]

This shouldn't be to hard...

Lockheed X-27 version of CL-1200 Lancer.

That is a fine answer. I just realised it says "X-27 Lancer" on the side, lol.

Don't worry, I did it with one of the tanks I posted:rofl:

No, although You guessed the time period, it's pre-WW2

[Gollevainen]

Perhaps enough time has passed and no one knows it. :( You can now reviel it Snake and post another, we need to keep this going on...

[planeman]

yep, it's had me stumped :) Somehow it looks 1930s or 1940s Italian, but that's a gut feeling and no amount of research has produced a hit.

[Gollevainen]

well it could be soviet too, taking account that it's snake who posted it

[planeman]

It could be Martian given its apparent invincibility to to Google ;)

[snake65]

Golly is right, that it's Soviet;)
It's prewar passenger hydrofoil cat by V.A.Gartvig. It was used in 1940 between Sochi and Sukhumi on Black Sea coast, carrying 130 passengers at 50 knots. With the beginning of war the engines were used for torpedo boats and the boat was destroyed in 1942 when Germans were near Tuapse.

[snake65]

OK. This is next. If You feel that the angle is too weird for identification, I'll post a different view.:coffee:

[bd popeye]

Another angle would be nice! Thanks!

Should be quite easier now;)

Hmm! It is soviet.

[Costas 240GD]

@ Golly: I figured they'd be interested in learning the history of such a unique (and lackluster as it turned out) aircraft. But, anyway, as you wish, Golly!

Well by giving the history of that aircraft before your right awnser is noted spoils the possibility from others to participate if they would tough their awnser would be right instead of yours. You are free to post the history alongside with your turn (Tough I agree that it is an unique aircraft and almoust deserves its own thread)

OK, got it.

[Finn McCool]

Wait is that truck the next question?

If it is I would guess that it is a technical designed to hide its weapons...though I cannot for the life of me figure out why it has mattresses.

Is it one of the vehicles responsible for the downing of several US helicopters earlier this year?

[Skorzeny]

In afghanistan that would be known as a Tallywagon :D
Dont know the real name..

[Costas 240GD]

Two hints: It's American made and it belongs to the Lebanese Army.

[Skorzeny]

Its a dodge pickup, also known as the M880 series

[Costas 240GD]

You got it! ;)

[Costas 240GD]

Thanks Zaky.
Try this: ID type and user country.
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/2975/75463700ms5.jpg

[zaky]

The type is M113 Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle . The country I only guessing is Turkey.

[Costas 240GD]

M113(A2) yes, ACAV no (but it has the shields associated with the ACAV, a term which applies correctly only to the US Cavalry M113s), and the user is a country that has a lot of cedars (hint).

[bd popeye]

Ahemm..I know where Costas gets those pictures:D ..so I will stay out of this.....

[Costas 240GD]

Well, the source is written all over that one, hehehehe ;)

[planeman]

:confused: Lebanon obviously, the bed-frame is the giveaway not the cedars. I love Lebanese food BTW, much better than their local tank modifications.:coffee:

[Costas 240GD]

Balcony railing most likely, not bed frame , but otherwise, you are right!

[zaky]

The great issue is who put the next question?
:D

[Costas 240GD]

I think I'll give it to planeman.

[planeman]

ok, it was a partial win but I'll go anyway
http://i16.tinypic.com/4kb7bbt.jpg

[Costas 240GD]

Pandur 8x8 with Rafael 30mm turret.

[planeman]

blimey, Pandur-II I think. Indeed that's more than correct enough for me :)


You guys nevercease to amaze me.

[Finn McCool]

Man I gotta get here quicker...I knew that M113 one! That was my one and only chance!

[Costas 240GD]

Any 8x8 Pandur is a Pandur II anyway, as there was no Pandur I 8x8. ;)

BTR-80K:confused: Must be some Russian police variant...

[Costas 240GD]

As it is indeed a rather obscure variant, I'll give it to you mate.
It has the raised roof of the BTR-80UNSh/BMM-2/Kapustnik-B, etc, but no turret. It is a Police APC, though, which is enough for me (along with your ID of the basic vehicle).

[Costas 240GD]

Yes, you win! ;)
For the record, it's an Oshkosh MTVR (Mk36 recovery vehicle with EYAL crane).

[Finn McCool]

Well here it is. Most random thing I could find on short notice.


http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/ww1/usaarmoredcarsww1.jpg

I wasn't ableto find a name for this particular vehicles so tell me what war and what country it is from.

[Gollevainen]

wild guess - Chinese in the war against Japan in the 30's??

[planeman]

American, WW1. Guess at Ford.

[Finn McCool]

American, WW1. Guess at Ford.

Correct-a-mundo

[Costas 240GD]

Armored cars of this type were built on Locomobile, White and Mack truck chassis for use by the New York National Guard. These are based on 2-ton Mack AB chassis (The MGs with shields are an identifying clue).

[Aluka]

Nope.
well thecnically it would be Costas turn to post the new pic....but after a thousand or so quizzes, I cann allow this "rule-braking" to get fresh blood to the thing
I am sorry. Must have forgotten this after all the time i wasn't here.

[Gollevainen]

No props. I changed the rules of the game so that now the one that answers correct post's the next one and so on...

My guess would be some sort of coastal defence launcher of Granat (SS-N-21 Sampson)

[snake65]

РК-55 "Рельеф" (RK-55 Relyef)

[Aluka]

That's it. Unfortunately it received quite a publicity in a recent few months, i was a bit too late with it.
It is notable that this thing was the only Soviet GLCM designed not for coastal defense, but as intermediate range ground attack missile. MAZ-543 TEL carried 6 (but you know this already ;)) kent-based missiles, each of 200kt yield. It was in service only for one year, and in the end suffered the same fate as BGM-109 GLCM.

[Gollevainen]

Ok, time to brake the domination of the armoured car mafia, that has taken over the Thread;)

[snake65]

"Harald Haarfagre" or "Tordenskjold"

[Pointblank]

"Harald Haarfagre" or "Tordenskjold"

No, smoke stack does not look right. Turret configuration and mast layout is also not correct... If I were to hazard a guess, she's Dutch, a member of the Herulf Trolle class coastal defence ship...

[Gollevainen]

Ah, cunning one, eh;)
Nope, its not even an european, but Argentinian predearnougth ARA Libertad, thougth build in Uk 1890, and so small that it fits in the coastal defence ship category rather well.

Ok, how about this one

[Costas 240GD]

Shershen class torpedo boat.

[snake65]

Yes, TKA Project 206 "Shtorm"

[Gollevainen]

If it's Shershen, where is its rear gun?:D :D

[snake65]

OK, East German P6

[Pointblank]

I say it is a Polish Project 664 class torpedo boat. More specifically, its ORP Sprawny.

[Gollevainen]

Pointplank is rigth. This little Polish boat looked like little cut out Shershen, but it featured Gas turbine engines and other automation that eventually led to many trouples and unreability wich make Polish to dislike the desing. Also they were build in alunimium alloy that vibrated lot in high-speeds and the use of Gas-turbines made their range drop considerably from diesels.

[Pointblank]

Alrightly, what vehicle is this?

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c21/the_pointblank/index.php1.jpg

It's going to stump you guys good. Yes, it is a real vehicle, and it was made.

Edit: It seems you guys need a hint. The vehicle is French.

[zaky]

This is a SCHNEIDER-LAURENT from 1930.

or give us some hep

[snake65]

The only other available picture will not help you much:D
It's Russian, it was actually built, it's pre-WW2
It's D-4 light tank of 1931.It had two turrets for 45mm guns and was expected to be able to travel on tracks, wheels and railway wheels. The expectations were never met and only one was built. The designer Dyrenkov was quite well known in 20-30s in SU for his light armoured trucks D-8 and D-12 as well as several other projects. He was a quite tipical Soviet type "designer" of that era with practically no technical education but with good knowledge of Soviet bureaucracy, like Grohovsky and several others less known.

This car is fantastic. I always like the small nation’s military developments.

It was produced with assistance from the US Army's Tank Automotive Command. It was based on the old US Army M37B1 truck. The US designed the vehicle itself, cut the armour and then shipped it for assembly in El Salvador.

[Costas 240GD]

As I recall it was designed in El Salvador and the armor was cut in the US, as the Salvadoreans did not have the necessary facilities.

US Navy T-2C Buckeye jet trainer...I've never seen one with the grey paint scheme..I've only seen them in white.

[Costas 240GD]

Correct. This Buckeye did wear a cool scheme, and exchanged it for SEA type camo when it became one of those bought by the Hellenic Air Force a few years back to complement the existing T-2E fleet.

Bell AH-1... but it looks like a AH-1Q, but it looks like it was fitted with a four bladed main rotor instead of the usual 2 bladed main rotor that is standard. The aircraft belongs to Bell from the markings, and the colour scheme suggests 1970's, which definitely means it is not a Zulu-Cobra, which is the only production model to be fitted with a four bladed main rotor.

[zaky]

Model 249 experimental demonstrator version fitted with a four-bladed rotor system

:confused:

[Costas 240GD]

Hint: based on the Sierra model.

[planeman]

YAH-1S Cobra

[Costas 240GD]

Go, planeman, GO!

[planeman]

Try this one for size

[planeman]

any takers? not even a guess. I'll give you a hint: not all is as it first might appear

[Pointblank]

The hull shape indicates a World War II or a immediate post World War II sub...

[snake65]

Could it be Spanish Tiburon which was built after German minisub Walruss?

[planeman]

Crickey! I've hoodwinked a snake, this must be a truly slippery submarine. If it was the Tiburon, it'd look a bit more like this http://www.heiszwolf.com/subs/plans/plans_tiburon.jpg

[snake65]

Looks like a model submarine for a movie. Although the scenerie looks like Germany, UK or Scandinavia, I haven't been able to pinpoint a minisub of such design as museum ship.

[planeman]

wow! Snake, my confidence in your detective work is restored although I think you're still too far off to declare a win. Scandinavia = Denmark. It's the Kraka, a fully fnctional midget submarine designed and made by very clever chap called Peter Madsen. Here's a page abut it http://www.vulcaniasubmarine.com/KRAKA.htm

This should be easier for you guys...

[Costas 240GD]

M60A3 uparmored in Jordan. I believe it's called phoenix.

[snake65]

Well, to be exact it's Phoenix Level 3 concept demonstrator.

[planeman]

Costas was first. Both answers as good as the same ;)

[Costas 240GD]

Thank you. ;)

Looks like a Leopard-I with a 120mm gun in the classic "Assault gun" position.

Wrong.

[Costas 240GD]

MOWAG Taifun tank destroyer...

[Pointblank]

MOWAG Taifun tank destroyer...

Correct! Now name the gun mounted...

[Costas 240GD]

It's a 105mm piece (the vehicle according to an article I have is mostly a mock-up) that seems like an L7.

And a new subject:

Some sort of a FAV, most likely belongs to either the Portuguese, the Spanish or quite possibility, the Germans, due to the fact that these are the nations off the top of my head that use a maroon beret. I see what looks like a MG3 and a Mk19 AGL as weapons. I am leaning towards Spanish because the building in the background has Spanish writing on it.

[planeman]

Supercat ATMP

[Costas 240GD]

Used in Mexico.
Planeman's turn. ;)



P.S.: The MG is an HK-21.
