Afgan Lancia-Ansaldo 1ZM Armored Car, Model 1918 modified in 1928. (Side view).


Afgan Lancia-Ansaldo 1ZM Armored Car, Model 1918, rearmed in 1928.

He was active until the 2nd World War. In the RED circulate current photographs of this armored vehicle found in Kabul by NATO troops in a military depot in 2001. In the aforementioned photographs you can see several bullet impacts.

On the Lancia-Ansaldo 1ZM found in Kabul in 2001, see photograph (although the accompanying text is not entirely true, regarding the information about the Lancia 1ZM, since this Lancia was the only one existing in Afghanistan):

Autocarro Fiat 665 NM Scudato (Italian Armored Troop Carrier)



Autocarro Fiat 665 NM Scudato (Italian Armored Troop Carrier) 

A Fiat 665 NM Armored Truck destroyed in a Tito's partisans ambush to an Italian-German convoy, between Comeno and Rifembergo in Slovenia, February 2, 1944.

The Fiat 665 NM Scudato distinguished to the Fiat 626 NM Scudato (among many others differences) by carrying 8 portholes instead of 6 of the latter. Apart from these two basic models, both the Italian and the German made about these or other chassis a significant amount of improvised armored trucks, of similar design to the standards Fiat 665 NM and 626 NM.



Autocarro Fiat 665 NM Scudato (Camión Blindado Italiano para trasporte de tropas)

Un Camión Blindado Fiat 665 NM destruido durante una emboscada de los partisanos de Tito a un convoy italo-alemán, entre Comeno y Rifembergo en Eslovenia, el 2 de febrero de 1944.

El modelo Fiat 665 NM Scudato se distinguía del Fiat 626 NM Scudato (entre otras muchas diferencias) por llevar 8 troneras en lugar de las 6 de este último. Aparte de estos dos modelos básicos, tanto los italianos como los alemanes realizaron sobre éstos u otros chasis una importante cantidad de camiones blindados improvisados, de diseño similar a los estándares Fiat 665 NM y 626 NM.
