−	The Spähpanzer Ru 251 was designed in 1960 to replace the [[M41A1 Walker Bulldog]] that the Bundeswehr had been using in the reconnaissance role. Prototypes where built in 1963/64 and underwent testing, it was however decided to cancel the project as the newly deployed Leopard tank was just as if not more capable of fulfilling the intended reconnaissance role. Documents related to the development of the Ru 251 are still considered classified material by the Bundeswehr and the surviving prototype is kept in a secure storage facility, as such there is only basic information available and a few photos from during it's testing. Recently someone working at the storage facility managed to take and release several photos of of the prototype tho, marking the first time it has been seen in several decades.	+	The Spähpanzer Ru 251 was designed in 1960 to replace the [[M41A1 Walker Bulldog]] that the Bundeswehr had been using in the reconnaissance role.
