2007 FV721 Fox CVR (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance) is a British armoured car that was developed in the 1970s as a replacement for the Ferret scout car. The Fox is based on the chassis of the FV432 armoured personnel carrier, but with a smaller and lighter aluminium hull. The main armament of the Fox is a 30 mm L21 RARDEN cannon, which can fire armour-piercing or high-explosive rounds. The Fox also has a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and two smoke grenade launchers. The Fox has a crew of three: a driver, a commander and a gunner.
Rebane oli mõeldud luure- ja tuletoetusmissioonide läbiviimiseks jalaväe- ja soomusüksuste toetuseks. Foxil on suur liikuvus ja kiirus tänu Rolls-Royce B81 bensiinimootorile ja kaheksarattaveole. Rebane saab ujuda ka üle veetõkete, kasutades ujuvekraani ja propellereid. Foxil on madal profiil ja hea nägemisulatus, mis muudab selle sobivaks varjatud toiminguteks. Foxil on NBC (tuuma-, bioloogiline ja keemiline) kaitsesüsteem ja infrapuna öönägemisseade.
2007 Rebane entered service with the British Army in 1973 and was used in various conflicts, such as the Falklands War, the Gulf War and the Iraq War. The Fox was also exported to several countries, such as Nigeria, Oman and Sri Lanka. The Fox was gradually replaced by the FV107 Scimitar and the CVR(T) series in the British Army, and was retired from service in 1994.
