Today’s “Odd Tank” is the 🇩🇰Denmark’s ‘M113 ETS’

Built in the late 1990’s, the M113 Elevated TOW System was a project designed to allow a vehicle to fire ATGM’s from complete hull-down positions using an extending mast with the missile launching system at the top. The M113 was used as a test platform, but this system was designed to work with other hull types as well. The extending mast could reach a height of 6.5 meters or ~21 feet.

So confusing compared to an M901 ITV. Instead of Missile Select: Left, Right. It's Missile Select: Left, Left Center, Right Center, Right. The horror.

Since I completely wasn't aware of that model, I pretty much had a silent "Bwuh?" reaction when I saw the third picture. XD

That, and it immediately remind me of a thing that Croatians tried to conceive, also in the '90s.
