Den AMX-10 RC is a wheeled armored vehicle designed for reconnaissance and fire support missions. It was developed by the French companies AMX and APX in the 1970s and entered service with the French Army in 1981. It is armed with a 105 mm F2 BK MECA medium-pressure gun, which can fire a variety of ammunition, including high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) and armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds.
AMX-10 RC har en fire-mands besætning og en variabel hydropneumatisk affjedring, der gør det muligt at justere frihøjden og vippe. Det er også amfibisk, selvom det kræver yderligere forberedelse og udstyr til vandkrydsning. AMX-10 RC er blevet brugt af Frankrig i flere konflikter, såsom Golfkrigen, Kosovo-krigen, krigen i Afghanistan og Mali-krigen. Det er også blevet eksporteret til Marokko, Qatar og Ukraine. AMX-10 RC erstattes i øjeblikket af EBRC Jaguar, et nyt pansret køretøj med hjul med forbedret beskyttelse, mobilitet og ildkraft.
