Hello Patreons,
Here is your wallpaper for June! We hope to see some of you at TANKFEST as well.
Second World War experience influenced the design of the Saladin armoured car. Having six wheel drive instead of four greatly improved its cross-country mobility, and the powerful 76mm gun gave it sufficient firepower against a wide range of targets.
Development began in 1946 and production ran from 1958 until 1972, with 1177 built. As well as the UK 23 other nations used Saladin, including Indonesia, Jordan and Australia. Most were in the Middle East, Africa or Asia, but a version was also used by the West German Border Guard.
Saladins saw combat in Oman, Sri Lanka and Kuwait and some remain in service.
