During the Cold War, Canadian forces fielded the nimble Iltis light utility vehicle to provide mobility and rapid deployment across the battlefield. When armed with powerful TOW anti-tank guided missiles, the Iltis became a dangerous ambusher, capable of striking enemy armour from concealed positions and retreating before retaliation. These agile vehicles gave Canadian forces a cost-effective yet deadly answer to advancing Soviet armour.
