A mighty Sd.Kfz. 9 "FAMO" half-track towing a TIGER Tank

The Sd.Kfz. 9 also known as "Famo" was a German half-track that saw widespread use in World War II, and the heaviest half-track vehicle of any type built in quantity in Nazi Germany during the war years. Its main roles were as a prime mover for very heavy towed guns such as the 24 cm Kanone 3 and as a tank recovery vehicle. Approximately 2,500 were produced between 1938 and 1945.
The Sd.Kfz. 9 had a ladder frame chassis. Power was provided by a Maybach 12-cylinder, water-cooled, 10.8-litre (660 cu in) HL 108 gasoline engine of 270 hp (200 kW). It had a synchromesh ZF G 65 VL 230 transmission with four forward and one reverse gears. The vehicle had two fuel tanks, one of 90 L (24 US gal) and the other of 230 L (61 US gal) capacity.

Is that a real Tiger shell, or like the "FrankenTiger", part composite? Either way, still cool to see...

[@jkparkww]

It is a composite, hybrid late-model Tiger made from scraps of parts. The engine is being built, so it should be able to move in a few years.

Thank you very much!

Die Nazis haben den Krieg zurecht verloren! Euthanasie,Konzentrationslager und Mord aber egal oder? Sich hier hinzustellen u das noch als Kult zu feiern ist so widerwärtig! Ihr solltet darüber nachdenken was mit euch persönlich passiert wäre wenn Heydrich oder Himmler nach Hitler diese Schweinereien fortgesetzt hätten!

The tracks look strange to me.

[@puppyrupy]

Which tracks do you mean? Famo or Tiger?

[@vadimdikmed5372]

FAMO великолепен.

Thank you for sharing this

[@JKtheKtrucker]

You are welcome!

[@THX11458]

I'm puzzled. Why does the Tiger have zimmerit on its gun mantlet at 2:03 & 3:30 but none at 4:30? Is the video at 4:30 an earlier recording??

[@JKtheKtrucker]

You've seen it very well. These scenes were recorded at Militracks in 2022 and 2023.

[@GunstockBayA90]

Everyone wants a fine German car. Until its time to do German car stuff

[@speckledjim_]

A Heinz Tiger?

[@alekhaordonesa...belgatoy2359]

Is this tiger cardboard?, how many tons does it weigh? Врядли он весит 57 тонн, от силы 30

[@user-vs3rl8tg6t]

Оригинальный Тигр E весит 57 тонн, он без внутренностей 51 тонна , но не как не 30 тонн.

[@puppyrupy]

This Tiger has no engine, so I guess it looks lighter.

[@patrickforrest3109]
