Comparing: 113 vs. (R) AMX 50 B

Development on model 113 was started in 1963. The vehicle was conceived as an alternative to WZ-111 and used parts and components of medium tanks. However, the project was canceled due to the development of main battle tanks.

Developed starting in 1951 by DEFA, the state weapons design bureau. By 1958, the AMX 50 B received a number of improvements, including a low-profile cast hull and torsion-bar suspension. A new oscillating turret with a 120-mm gun was also mounted on the vehicle. Despite the fact that the Maybach engine power provided just 1000 hp, the specialists from the German Gruppe M company were looking for a solution that would allow the vehicle to reach the speed up to 65 km/h. Only one finished prototype of this variant was built.
