ShPlK STYX


The project of a self-propelled anti-aircraft 35 mm cannon Styx was an international project created in Škoda, a.s. in Pilsen in cooperation with the renowned Swiss company Oerlikon-Contraves (cannon) and Pardubice Retia
(electronics) as a replacement for still used, but completely unsatisfactory ShPlDvK "Ještěrka"
The Oerlikon turret was to be placed on an armored chassis T815 VP 31 29 265 8x8.1R with an engine behind the cab or on a modernized T816 8x8. As with the lizard, it was a separate carriage and a rotating tower, the tower had its own drive, the tower should be possible to lift and build separately with 4 hydraulic legs, while the own chassis could leave.
The actual cannon is for the type of ammunition AHEA (parameters and maybe I will add pictures later)
