The ÖAF gl sLKW (abbreviation for "heavy offroad truck") traces its roots to the 1973 oil price hike which resulted from the Yom Kippur war in the Middle East. Trying to provide economic stimuli to the stuttering Austrian economy, the government initiated the procurement of a new heavy offroad military truck with 10 t payload capacity.
On Saturday June 8, we will be supporting the 35th Tank Grenadier Battalion in Großmittel south of Vienna during their traditional "Open House Day".
We are happy to have a very special highlight for you this time. Our friend Wolfgang HInteregger has shared with us his video about the training of new tank drivers for the - then - brand new Kürassiers from 1975. Enjoy this memory of a bygone area ...
2-1/2 years ago we started our presence on Youtube and Facebook in September 2021, and by now we stand at 2700 subscribers on Youtube and 1700 followers on Facebook. Given the relatively tight scope of our hobby, we feel motivated by this feedback to continue our presence in both channels.
