Gentlemen,
Here's a bunch of photos I took at the Kecel collection, Hungary.

Would you please help me ID the vehicles? (Hope you like them.)

Andras,

Picture #1: Airplane
Picture #2: Cannon
Picture #3: Cannon
Picture #4: Wheeled Dozer Thing.

On a serious note....I don't know the names or nomenclatures of the vehicles. BUT, your second and third pictures are VERY interesting....dually towed Artillery???? Not seen that before!

I certainly hope someone out there can identify them (and the rest for that matter!).

Thank you for posting them! Here's a couple to the solution!

The gun's a Soviet ML-20 152mm, standard WW2 piece. Couldn't view many of the other pics before my PC fell over, but there seemed like a lot of post-WW2 engineering stuff.

Andras, thanks for posting the link. From the looks of everything, it is pretty well preserved for being outside, especially the engines. From what I saw, this is what I can offer in way ID. Theres more, but I think you know those already, T34, BMP1 etc.. Hope this helps. "Q"

First is a MiG-23 dual seat trainer, not sure what model.

the 8th picture is of Bridging equipment based on trucks, URALS?

9 - MiG-17? (hard to tell)

11 Mi-1
12 Mi-2 Hoplight
13 MiG-15/17/19?
14 Mi-8/17
15 Mi-24 Hind, probably -D model (Does not look like it has the "knuckles" of the Chem-recon version...)

Much of the other photos are of engineering equipment from many Warsaw pact countries and lots of missiles that are Air Defense, Aircraft launched, or vehicle based.

Page 4 has:

1 - PKM mounted on a vehicle
2 - Scud-A
3 - FROG (Maybe a -7?)
4 - SA-4 Ganef
5 - SA-6 Gainfull
7 - 2S1 122mm Artillery
8 - 2S3 152mm Artillery
9 - ZSU-23/4
10 - ZSU 57-2
11 - BMP-1 (or close derivative)
12 - T-54/55

Page 5 has pics of the T-54/55 and a nice series of a T-34/85 to page 8

Page 8 has some shots of a SA-2 and the truck rearming vehicle

page 9:
5 - SA-9 gaskin
6 - BRDM based ATGM mobile launcher, can't remember designation.
8 & 10 - BM-21 MLRS

Page 13, pic 7 is a SU-17/22 (not sure which variant)

Otherwise lots of shots of all kinds of things...jet engines, ordinance, quite a lot of very interesting hardware.

hope that helps

Ha, Matt and I posted on top of each other!

Well, you can see that designations can now be correlated.

I stand corrected, I missed the Mi-2. Thought it was another pic of the Hare. My bad. "Q"

Thanks for the answers, everyone. Most of the "usual" stuff is not a problem, but some of the vehicles are -well- strange... The problem with the exhibition is the lack of information displayed.

I agree that it is a great collection, but there is so much stuff, and the stuff you probably want ID'd is so esoteric, that unless you know all the production vehicles put out by all Warsaw pact countries, or are in the intelligence services of a country, you probably cannot name them. And then there is the fact that the collection covers a time range of 40-50 years...just one more complicating factor!

Think of it as a good refresher course for all of us Soviet vehicle nuts!
