U.S. M132 Armored Flamethrower

The M132 was an American armored flamethrower vehicle based on the M113 personnel carrier. It combined protected mobility with a turret-mounted flame weapon and associated fuel equipment, sacrificing the ordinary troop-carrying arrangement. The type is particularly associated with service in Vietnam, where fortified positions and close terrain created demand for specialized assault support. Its mission and internal equipment distinguished it sharply from a standard infantry transport despite their common chassis. The vehicle replaced an ordinary machine-gun arrangement with specialized flame-projecting equipment and its associated fuel system. Vietnam service placed it in close combat against defended positions and vegetation-covered areas. Its tactical purpose differed from that of a standard personnel carrier, while limited fuel capacity constrained the duration of its specialized attack.
