el Panhard AML (Auto Mitrailleuse Légère, o "Light Armoured Car") es un coche blindado de primera generación rápido, de largo alcance y relativamente barato con una excelente capacidad de reconocimiento. Diseñado en un pequeño chasis 4×4 ligeramente blindado, pesa aproximadamente 5,5 toneladas , mucho más ligero que un tanque, y por lo tanto es más adecuado para despliegues aéreos rápidos. Desde 1959, los AML se comercializan en hasta cinco continentes; varias variantes permanecieron en producción continua durante medio siglo. Estos han sido operados por cincuenta y cuatro gobiernos nacionales y otras entidades de todo el mundo, viendo un combate regular.

General Characteristics and Role
The Panhard AML (Auto-Mitrailleuse Légère, or “Light Machine Gun Car”) is a highly successful and widely exported French armored car. The AML-90 variant is the heavily armed version, distinguished by its large turret mounting a 90 mm gun. Developed in the 1950s, the AML series was designed for long-range reconnaissance, internal security, and fire support roles in areas where traditional tanks were too heavy or cumbersome. Its key features are its light weight, high road speed, excellent cross-country mobility provided by its 4×4 drive and large tires, and the ability to carry a potent gun system, often referred to as a “wheeled light tank.”

Global Export: It is one of the most successful armored car designs ever, serving in over 50 countries across Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Notable Combat Use: The AML-90 saw extensive combat in conflicts such as the South African Border War, the Lebanese Civil War, and the Western Sahara conflict, where its speed and potent 90 mm gun were highly valued.
