Armored Vehicles

The Schutzenpanzer Lang HS.30, officially the Schutzenpanzer, lang, Typ 12-3, was a West German infantry fighting vehicle developed between 1956 and 1958. It was designed by the Swiss company Hispano-Suiza and powered by a Rolls-Royce engine, and it carried a 20 millimeter autocannon. Mechanical problems during development meant only 2,176 vehicles were built of the 10,680 originally planned.
