I don't recall where I found these two pictures... and I do not know what they are. Can anyone ID these "tanks"?
In advance, thanks!

TANK #1 -- an AA gun of some sort?
TANK #2 -- looks like some kind of rocket launcher... or is it?

The first one is one that I had not seen, although it looks just like their 2S-19, 152.
The second one is Isreali rocket launcher, on Centurion hull. I will look for it.

From Wikipedia for the second:
Eshel ha-Yarden
a quadruple tubular launcher for 290 mm ground-to-ground rockets mounted on Centurion tank chassis. The project was cancelled after a single prototype was built. Both this vehicle and an earlier version based on Sherman chassis are often referred to as MAR-290.

Thanks for the replies! I've not "followed up" on the second tank (Israeli rocket launcher) yet, but have on the 1st one (Russian SP artillery). One of the websites I've come across:
http://www.strategypage.com/militaryforums/4-2679.aspx
has some posters believing it is a "Photoshop" -- and even posted another version to illustrate that point - if you want to follow the link I noted above, it's fairly near the bottom of the 1st page of that thread:
Thought I would pass this along for "consideration"...

They both look like something dreamed up by Games Workshop.

...Wehrmacht 46...
Or is it 47?
"220... 221, whatever it takes."
