ACADEMY M113A3 "IRAQ 2003" - 13211 SCALE 1:35. The M113 is an American armored personnel carrier. The first models were created in 1956, and serial production at FMC began in 1960. It lasted until 1987 and resulted in the production of 73,000 copies of this vehicle for the needs of the US Army and for export. The M113 entered service in as many as 45 countries, including Israel, Spain, Italy, Greece and Germany. The M113 is the most popular transport vehicle in the world and forms the basis for the largest family of armored vehicles in the world. The hull of the M113 is constructed of steel and aluminum, with welded armor. This reduces weight, but protects the crew only from small-caliber ammunition. The Israeli army uses Rafael TOGA armor to correct this shortcoming. The driver's seat is located in the left front and the engine in the right front of the vehicle. Landing troops (up to 7 people) sit on benches along the hull and start fighting using the ramp located in the rear of the transporter, which is lowered hydraulically. The basic M113 is capable of overcoming water obstacles, driven by caterpillar tracks. The M113 has been involved, among others, in a large number of conflicts. in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, Operation Desert Storm and the 2003 Iraq War. In the US Army, it is systematically replaced by the M2 Bradley car. Among the large family based on the M113 chassis, one can mention the American M901, which is armed with a TOW launcher, or the Israeli M113 Fitter with a special mounted crane, which is the basic vehicle of the Israeli repair and repair services in armored battalions. Fitter is also used by Australia and Belgium. Technical data (version M113A3): length: 4.86 m, width: 2.69 m, height: 2.54 m, weight 12.1 t, engine power: 266 KM, speed (on road): 66 km/h, armament: 1 machine gun caliber 12.7 mm. Second Persian Gulf War 2003 invasion of Iraq) was officially launched on March 19, 2003 and formally ended with a speech by US President George W. Bush Jr. on May 1, 2003. It is worth noting, however, that American troops and the countries supporting them officially remained in Iraq until 2011. The main cause of the conflict was the desire of the United States to destroy weapons of mass destruction allegedly owned by Iraq and the alleged sponsorship of international terrorism by the country, a slogan especially popular and important for the US citizen after the tragic attack of September 11, 2001. On one side of the barricade, during this war, stood the troops of the anti-Iraqi coalition consisting of the forces of several countries (including Poland), but mainly the United States, which in March-April 2003 amounted to about 200,000. Over time, the number of these forces has changed. Their opponent was Iraqi forces estimated at 350,000-380,000 soldiers. Paradoxically, therefore, Iraqi forces had a numerical advantage, but were clearly inferior to coalition forces on other levels of the art of war. In contrast to the first Gulf War, the command of the coalition forces decided to conduct very intensive simultaneous operations on the ground and in the air, focusing primarily on the technological advancement of their forces, surprise and speed of action. The main objective of the operation was to take Baghdad following a violent raid by coalition troops deep into Iraq. It is worth adding that during this highly turbulent phase of the war, coalition troops bypassed the largest cities, making an exception for the important city of Basra. Within 21 days of the start of the attack, coalition troops had reached Baghdad, and on April 9, 2003, the capital of Iraq was formally in the hands of coalition forces. Considered from a purely military point of view, the war ended with a complete success of the coalition troops, achieved very quickly and with minimal losses. From a political point of view, however, it turned out to be a questionable victory and, moreover, it committed American troops to long-term stabilization activities in Iraq, the cost of which - both human and economic - probably exceeded the costs of the March-April 2003 operation.
