Historical Information and Usage

The 40M Nimród is a unique vehicle produced by the MÁVAG company from 1940 specifically for the Hungarian Army. It was based on a license of the Swedish Bofors gun, but adapted for the combat conditions of Central Europe. During World War II (1941-1945), Nimrods were mainly used by Hungarian units as mobile anti-aircraft guns, but thanks to their precisely engineered construction and high firepower, they were also successfully employed as anti-tank guns on the Eastern Front, especially in defense against Soviet armored units.
