Comparing: Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger vs. Kanonenjagdpanzer

Developed by the Rheinmetall-Borsig company and designed as a special artillery carrier. The vehicle was designed to carry an artillery system as well as to fire from the chassis. The vehicle utilized the suspension of the Hetzer tank destroyer. Development continued from the end of 1942 through the middle of 1944. However, the project was discontinued in favor of the Ardelt project because of a complicated design, high cost, and excessive weight.

The first prototypes of the Kanonenjagdpanzer, also known as the Jagdpanzer Kanone 90mm, were produced in 1960 by the Hanomag and Henschel companies for the FRG. Production continued until 1967. A total of 770 vehicles for the Bundeswehr and 80 for the Belgian Armed Forces were built. However, in 1985 the vehicle was deemed outdated. Some of them were converted into artillery observation vehicles and others were refitted into anti-tank guided missile carriers. Some Kanonenjagdpanzer remained in service until 1990.
