Weasels in the snow
How about these great images from the German Army of a Waffenträger (weapons carrier) Wiesel 1 Aufklärung of the 1,700-man multinational battlegroup Panzerbrigade 45 (the “Lithuania Brigade”) frolicking in the snow, complete with MG3.
The Wiesel is one of the few modern tankettes in service today. Just 343 Wiesel 1s and 148 stretched Wiesel 2s have been delivered since 1979, and the 2.75 ton Audi 298-powered tracked vehicle just always looks like fun.
Activated in Vilnius on 1 April 2025, Panzerbrigade 45 currently includes the 122nd Armored Infantry Battalion (Panzergrenadierbataillon 122) from Oberviechtach and the 203rd Armored Battalion (Panzerbataillon 203) from Augustdorf and is set to grow to around 5,000 soldiers and civilian employees by 2027.
