Talk:PSZH-IV

Reason for redirecting.
All the information that was in this article was taken to the FUG article and that's why it has been redirected. - SuperTank17 (talk) 16:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Condensing three paragraphs and infobox down to a single sentence is not "all the information". Why do you want to strip this fully sourced infomation information and merge it? "Developed from" is not the same as "variant". Marasmusine (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me show you:


 * PSzH-IV article:


 * The PSZH-IV D-944 is a Hungarian amphibious armoured personnel carrier in service from the mid 1960s onwards.[1]


 * FUG article:


 * PSzH-IV (Late 1960s) - D-944 PSzH converted into a Wheeled Amphibious Armoured Personnel Carrier


 * PSzH-IV article:


 * The PSZH-IV is an amphibious APC, developed from the D-944 PSzH armoured scout car. It has an all-steel construction and is propelled through the water by two water jets. It is able to carry six fully equipped soldiers, who exit the vehicle through small two-part doors on the each side of the hull. The design includes tire-pressure regulation system, NBC protection system and infrared night-vision equipment.[1]

 * PSzH-IV article:


 * The PSZH-IV prototype first appeared in 1966 and only appeared on a single maneuver parade in Bratislava, mounting an egg-shaped turret and dummy automatic cannon.[2] The prototype and the PSZH-IV were first thought to be a reconnaissance vehicle by the West[1] due to its small size and 4x4 configuration, and thus dubbed the FUG-66 and FUG-70 after the FUG 4x4 scout car.[2] The PSZH-IV is no longer in service with Hungary.[2]

Thanks for the explaination; I only saw the sentence in the "variants" section. It's just jarring not having it discussed through WP:MERGE proposal first. Marasmusine (talk) 06:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
