TonyT Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I believe the York is a radar guided anti aircraft gun platform, a mobile triple A battery that is radar guided, similar to the Ruskie ZSU 24 the other one try here you might find some details http://www.primeportal.net/the_battlefield_armor.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I believe the York is a radar guided anti aircraft gun platform, a mobile triple A battery that is radar guided, similar to the Ruskie ZSU 24 This is partially correct. The M247 SGT York was an experimental AAA system. It was not reliable and failed miserably in testing. It was never adopted for use by the US Army or any other service.

Jetboy Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 hi arty, is that the same vehicle on your bottom shelf, it seems to have the same radar configuration,also anychance you could post a better view of your scud launcher as im building that now thanks don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Sorry, no other pics of either one. Both are long gone as casualties to prior moves. The SGT York AA Gun was built and tested, but not accepted. 50 test vehicles were actually built, but the program was cancelled in 1985 due to it not meeting hardly any of the design perameters and having huge cost over runs.
