________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 advantages, like relatively strong armament,*
sufficient armor and rear driver post, the car had*
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, mounted at 120-degree angle in different*
turret sides, manned by one man, and 7.92mm MG in a*
rear plate). They were initially fitted also with a*
turret AAMG, but they were removed as ineffective.*
*
In 1939 eight cars formed the armoured car squadron*
of the 11th Armored Battalion of Mazowiecka Cavalry*
Brigade. The combat record of those few obsolete *
machines was surprisingly successful, and they*
destroyed at least 7 enemy AFVs.  *
