# Wiesel 1A0

Role
: Tankette

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/wiesel-1a0.md#general-information)

Description
: The **Wiesel 1A0** is a Tankette, the baseline variant of the German Wiesel 1 family of air-droppable, lightly armored vehicles developed for airborne and light forces from the 1980s; it was adopted by the Bundeswehr for reconnaissance and fire support. In-game it is a tracked vehicle weighing 2.9 tonnes with a crew of two — driver and gunner — and is powered by an **Audi 2.1 diesel** producing 87 horsepower for 30 hp/t and a top speed of 80 km/h forward and 25 km/h backward, with neutral steering and an automatic gearbox.
Armament is the **20mm Rh202** autocannon with 2x and 6x magnification and no laser rangefinder or thermals. The vehicle has no stabilizer or smoke and minimal protection; it excels in mobility and low profile rather than firepower or defense.
