What was that vehicle with six recoilless rifles? Ontos?

Well, since you asked, and I just happened to have this slide scan in my stash:  photo ontos_zpsb39b415d.jpg

Ferocious and effective weapon, both fore and aft.

EXCEPT you had to step outside to reload the 106 MM recoiless rifles. The loader should have been eligible for triple super secret extra combat pay and a trip to Las Vegas after every mission.

Thanks for the photo. Do you know what their mission/purpose was? I’ve always wondered.
