The "Kraka" airborne weapon carrier vehicle was devloped by Zwierad-Union AG and first demonstrated in the fall of 1962, with its first official trials in 1967.

This vehicle was issued to airborne anti-tank companies as a carrier for the U.S.-made 106mm M40A1 recoilless rifle.

The T-55T Armored Recovery Vehicle was, as its designation implies, based on the Soviet T-55 tank. This vehicle replaced earlier armored recovery vehicles that were based on the T-34/85 and T-54, and was used to recover disabled or destroyed armored vehicles and perform field maintenance and repair.

The BLG-60M Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) was based on the Soviet T-55 tank chassis and was put into service in the former East German Army in the 1960s.
