Even before the 3WW many combatants in ‘small wars’ all over the globe had been using ‘expedient armour’ … anything on wheels which could mount a weapon and give heavy weapons support.
The major powers also provided similar vehicles for their Special Forces units to enable them to operate behind enemy lines … or where there were no lines and all you controlled was the ground you stood on.
In addition, many Transport units who had to run supplies through contested areas armoured up some heavy vehicles and armed them with whatever Heavy Weapons they could scrounge – so called Gun Trucks.
Finally, as the war progressed the loss rates for pre-war Armoured Vehicles and APCs outstripped production – but there were often damaged vehicles which could have gone back into action but for which key replacement parts were missing, most commonly turrets. Field expedient replacements became the new normal as desperate commanders took any armoured vehicle they could lay their hands on, no matter how weird the combination. And these vehicles gained the gallows humour title of Zombi Armour.
