The length of the barrels makes it look somewhat impractical. Robert

There are several more variants shown further on in that link- the actual designation eludes me……….Similar shape to the BA-64……. |

Cheers Geoff- been bugging me all morning…….. |

Nose was wrong for a BA-64. Tim's comment about Czech was the clue – I did a Google image search for Czech recoiless and spotted it.
That's about all I have been able to find, mind, so if anyone can expand on that… |

It just reminded me of a Ba64 at the back…….can't find any vehicle designation at all……….one of the other variants has a square looking compartment where the Cz59's are on this one, another shot shows a group of soldiers crammed in the back – with a rear door…….one BA-64 variant was a troop carrying version with rear door but never developed beyond the prototypes…….this thing looks like the offspring of Sdkfz222 and Ba64…… |

Here we go…….T805 OA 82, catchy name ? link |

Well researched! Yes, it is very 'BA-64' shaped. One of the photos I found was titled 'Jarmila' but couldn't relate it to the vehicle (might have been the person posting it). However from your link: "This particular model designated as the OA-82 and code-named Jarmila" Here it is from the back:

Google does a reasonable job: "After aborting the armored car OA W 971 in 1957, the Army decided to continue to use the T805 chassis for the creation of an armored car OA 82 Jarmila II and armored OA 8th Project and competed with each other 4-digit and 8-digit carrier and S 971 Jarmila with bezzákluzovým canyon" |

My ipad was struggling! Kept 'tripping out' of the search engine……back on the olde steam powered desktop! |

Thanks my friends. Looks like it suffers from the Ontos flaw. You would have to get out to reload it. Robert |

Or at least be exposed in the open top compartment- I think the breech of the 82mm r/r hinges open for loading….. |
