Even though the design is 60 years old, certainly with the drone on top, this thing still looks futuristic.

My entry for the FBTB Alphabet Fighter Contest. Piloted by future Expanded Universe icon Pangdarr Orzo.
The heart of the M-ATV is a Caterpillar C8 diesel/electric hybrid engine, developing 400hp. Another unique feature is the second set of rear-hinged 'suicide doors'.

Two more snaps from our visit to Greece in 1981. After roaming around Paros and Mykonose we returned to the mainland where i was due to present a scientific paper. We stayed in Athens at a friend's flat and after the meeting explored the city - here s the classic tourist's view of Lycabettus Hill looking east from the Acropolis, with M on the right (I initially got them the wrong way round - corrected by K.M.K.).
For the background story, please see the intro to the set...
(Re-posted to put in chronological order in my photostream).
Although the M-205 Lada failed to enter service, Zastava Arms was still keen on getting some sort of return from its principle design. Since the Lada was hindered by being an AFV proper, Zastava decided to reorient the vehicle to serve as a personnel carrier instead. By ripping out the two 105mm high-velocity guns, their supporting subsystems, and extending the cabin, a great deal of internal space was created. This newfound volume was quickly filled with two 14.5mm HMGs, revised crew stations, and seating for six dismounts. These revisions also translated into huge production savings as the incredibly expensive optics, ventilation systems, etc. were all removed. So, unlike the M-205, the resulting M-206 Lado was much more production-friendly and could feasibly be constructed in large numbers.
Nevertheless, despite the success of converting the M-205 into a technically functional APC, the design still suffered considerable drawbacks compared to other platforms. For starters, six dismounts is a rather meager amount for a vehicle dedicated to carrying infantry. Additionally, said dismounts are forced to disembark from the vehicle in a clunky manner: They must exit the vehicle through an awkward bay towards the rear of the cabin, walk across the engine compartment, then hobble down a step located at the vehicle's posterior. This ultimately means the infantry are exposed to enemy fire for an overwhelming amount of time compared to more straightforward platforms like the American M113. This detraction was purportedly made up for by the M-206's frontal protection and the twin HMGs since the 14.5mm guns are able to cross their lines of fire and create a wide killing arc. According to Zastava, this would hinder the enemy from engaging the vulnerable dismounts.
This assessment was seemingly good enough for the Ministry of Defense as the M-206 was introduced into active service with the Ground Forces in 1988. Over three hundred examples of the vehicle were constructed through the nineties; however, many are in the process of being mothballed as Yugoslavia seeks a more conventional personnel carrier design. Still, it's not uncommon to see the Lado conducting field exercises and a sizable sum have reportedly been donated to the Black Cross terror organization.
