A combat vehicle, especially an armored vehicle and tank, having a vehicle body that is carried by a chassis and in which is disposed a crew compartment. An unmanned turret pivotable in azimuth via a turntable disposed on a roof plate, is disposed on the upper side of the vehicle body. The turrent contains a weapon pivotable in elevation. A panoramic viewing device, embodied as a glass optical direct viewing device, includes a viewing head disposed above the roof plate on the azimuthal axis of rotation of the turret. A rotationally symmetrical passageway extends through the turret, coaxial to the axis of rotation, from the roof plate to the base plate of the turret. An optical viewing channel is guided through the passageway connecting the viewing head with a viewing part in the crew compartment. At least the viewing head is pivotable, relative to the vehicle body, by at least 360° in azimuth, independently of the position and rotation of the turret.
