AMX-10 RC Armored Fighting Vehicle

The French AMX-10 RC was a wheeled reconnaissance and fire-support vehicle carrying a one-hundred-and-five-millimeter gun. Its purpose combined mobility and observation with useful direct fire, rather than the protection of a main battle tank. It served in French overseas operations and underwent modernization; its relatively light armor remained consistent with its reconnaissance and fire-support origins.

Entering service around the beginning of the 1980s, the vehicle combined a six-wheel chassis with hydropneumatic suspension and the ability to vary ride height. Its gun used ammunition distinct from standard NATO tank rounds despite sharing the same nominal caliber. French forces employed it in expeditionary operations, including the Gulf War. Later upgrades improved protection and electronics. Transfers to Ukraine brought the vehicle into a demanding contemporary battlefield, where its reconnaissance origins and relatively light armor remained relevant to how it could be employed.
