Lla 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.
Le Fox a été conçu pour effectuer des missions de reconnaissance et d’appui-feu à l’appui de l’infanterie et des unités blindées. La Fox dispose d’une grande mobilité et d’une grande vitesse, grâce à son moteur essence Rolls-Royce B81 et à ses huit roues motrices. Le Fox peut également traverser des obstacles aquatiques à l’aide d’un écran de flottaison et d’hélices. Le Fox a un profil bas et un bon champ de vision, ce qui le rend adapté aux opérations furtives. Le Fox dispose d’un système de protection NBC (nucléaire, biologique et chimique) et d’un dispositif de vision nocturne infrarouge.
Lla Renard 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.
