Description
The Entpannungspanzer 65 is an armored recovery vehicle of Swiss origin. It is based on the Pz 61 medium tank. The chassis and drivetrain are identical to the Pz 61 but the superstructure is much larger and seats the five men crew. A dozer blade is fitted at the front which doubles as an earth anchor for the heavy winch. An A-frame is fitted at the front and is folded over the superstructure during travel.
