Historical Description

The Flakpanzer V Coelian was a German anti-aircraft gun project developed on the chassis of the legendary Panther tank. It was intended as a response to the increasingly daring attacks by Allied air forces. The project included the use of a modern turret with twin 37 mm or 55 mm cannons. Due to Germany’s capitulation, the vehicle never advanced beyond the prototype phase – sources indicate that no example entered mass production, even though its widespread use in defensive battles toward the end of the war was planned.
