CZK - Motorový obrněný vlak J. M. Hurban

MOV J. M. Hurban (cvičná súprava) (OV-8)
The motorised armoured train was built in Nymburk in the summer of 1945. It was assembled by the soldiers of the Armoured Train Company from captured German material.
At the end of 1945, the set consisted of four cars (one gun, two machine gun and one mortar). The train set was supplemented by an armoured Panhard train. It was a training train set.
In the equipment inventory at the time of the official conversion of the Armored Train Company to the Armored Train Battalion in the fall (autumn) of 1947, the train set composition was the same as at the end of 1945. The only thing missing was an armoured Panhard dredge.
