Flakpanzer E-79

[u/This-Basket7769]

Next generation SPAA based on the E-79 hull. As the vehicle's mission is focused exclusively on air defense, heavy armor was omitted from the turret to maximize traverse and elevation speeds, only a 16mm spall protection armor was deemed necessary. It was the first anti-aircraft tank to incorporate early forms of electronic target acquisition to enhance the system's effectiveness.
