________Wz.29 (Ursus) armoured car*
*
Number in service: 10*
*
The wz. 29 (1929 Pattern) armoured car was the*
heavier type of Polish armored car. It was built*
upon a strengthened Ursus A truck chassis.*
Despite its advantages, like relatively strong *
armament, sufficient armor and rear driver post,*
the car had faults, like low speed and no off-road*
capabilities. Also the weapons and their arrangement*
soon became obsolete (low-velocity 37 mm SA.18 gun *
and 7.92mm MG, both in different sides of a turret,*
manned by one man, and 7.92mm MG in a rear plate). *
The cars were initially fitted also with an*
AAMG in the turret, placed at 120-degree to the gun*
and the other MG, but they were quickly removed*
as ineffective.*
*
In 1939 eight cars formed the armoured car squadron*
of the 11th Armored Battalion of Mazowiecka Cavalry*
Brigade.  *
