The 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.
The AMX-10 RC has a four-man crew and a variable hydropneumatic suspension that allows it to adjust its ground clearance and tilt. It is also amphibious, although it requires additional preparation and equipment for water crossing. The AMX-10 RC has been used by France in several conflicts, such as the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the War in Afghanistan and the Mali War. It has also been exported to Morocco, Qatar and Ukraine. The AMX-10 RC is currently being replaced by the EBRC Jaguar, a new wheeled armored vehicle with enhanced protection, mobility and firepower.
