SMV CC-64 Vipera

An Italian tank destroyer with a limited turret traverse angle. Development on the vehicle began in the first half of the 1960s as a collaboration between the countries of the Western European Union. The project aimed to develop new prototypes of armored vehicles, and was highly influenced by promising designs for German tank destroyers. The vehicle itself was a successor of the turreted tank destroyers produced by the OTO Melara company. Due to a number of reasons, no metal prototype was ever created.
