ABSTRACT:
An armored vehicle with an overhead or top-mounted cannon or barreled weapon, which is supported in a forked cradle support so as to be elevatable about a bearing trunnion axis, and which includes an arrangement for the storge of the ammunition and the conveyance of the ammunition from a main storage magazine and from an auxiliary storage magazine. A vertically standing projectile loading tube or barrel is rotatable about its longitudinal axis, whose longitudinal axis concurrently consists of the azimuthal or bearing axis of the barreled weapon, and which, in the position of rest of the barreled weapon, intersects at one point with trunnion axis and the tilting axis of the rotary shell or projectile chamber of the barreled weapon. Hereby, independently of the elevation of the barreled weapon, the shell or projectile chamber is movable into a vertical position extending coaxially with the loading tube.
