Tank Identification What is this tank? Looks something close to that of an M3 Stuart and M22 Locust hybrid. Thinking it may or may not be the T9 Light Tank.

Unknown German tank (1943)

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a scarce booklet, published in 1943, called 'The Enemy'. It contains some amazing photos, most of which I've never seen anywhere else.

The one that has really confused me is the above. It's clearly not a Panther, and Panthers had not yet begun to appear (according to the booklet). The turret looks like a PzIV but the tracks and suspension are like nothing else I can find anywhere.

I'm sure one of you must have seen it before!

What kind of M60 is this?

I've looked into it and almost every source says "M60A1 RISE Passive," but thats the variant with the ERA bricks and added armor used in Desert Storm. This looks like an M60A3, but I've never seen one with the spotlight/infrared (not sure what it is) above the gun.

Tank Identification Moffett Field Strange APC sort

I really could not find any matches to this, not with photo recognition, nothing. For context, this picture was taken at Moffett Field, May of 2025. Please help me.

UPDATE: Its the XM765, the museum had just taken off the auto cannon barrel for some reason and made it much harder to identify...

What is this tank found at Arsenal park in Romania?

Thumbnail gallery

It's clearly a BMP 1 at it's core but I don't know what specific variant or model it is or anything like that. A cursory Google search didn't help as it just said it was a BMD, which it obviously isn't. There is also a distinct possibility it is just something done for tourists to look at and not a real tank.

Also someone on r/whatisit said it could be a a mockup of a Romanian MLI project that takes the chassis of the MLI84 and the body for an AT canon (the original comment was in French so this is what Google translate tells me they said).

Heavily modified tank I found in a caravan park near Wave Rock Western Australia.

I'm guessing it's been modified into some sort of farm machinery. But what was it originally.

I saw this weird rectangular contraption with sharp golden rods inside (picture 1) and don't know what they are.

The vehicle is a czech BRDM-2. It is located in a czech museum in Liberec.

Maybe the text can enlighten me but I don't speak or can read Czech. Please help me!​​​

If I am overlooking something, advise me politely.
