40M Nimród

Common card · No. 472624

The 40M Nimród was a World War II Hungarian license-built modification of the Swedish Landsverk L-62 Anti I self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, featuring components from the Hungarian 38M Toldi (a license-built Landsverk L-60) and a new turret. Originally, it was intended to be used both in the anti-aircraft and tank destroyer roles, but it proved to be ineffective against heavily armored Soviet tanks, like the KV-1. Therefore, it was primarily used against lightly armored vehicles and for air defense.
