Thacker) Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 17 Approved: military@att.att.com From: "Larry W.Jewell" WNN reported on 02FEB91 that the Germans were sending NBC-capable recon- aisance vehicles to Sandi Arabia. I got just a glimpse of them and didn't get the designator. From my books they look liked Transportpanzer I's but this is an 1988 book. Is this the current version? Does the U.S. or anyother Coalition member have similar vehicles? How about Iraq? (These were not NBC *proof* vehicles, but APC's that could check for contaminants and mark suspect areas without leaving the crew compartment.)
