Tthe FV107 시미타르 영국 육군이 사용하는 장갑 정찰 차량(때로는 경전차로 분류)입니다. 그것은 코번트리에서 알비스에 의해 제조되었다. 그것은 FV101 전갈과 매우 유사하지만, 대신 76mm 총의 높은 속도 30mm L21 RARDEN 대포를 탑재한다. 그것은 정찰 역할에 로얄 장갑 군단 장갑 연대에 발행되었다. 각 연대는 원래 5명의 병력으로 구성된 정찰 편대를 가지고 있었으며, 각각 8대의 FV107 시미타르를 포함하고 있었다.

The Swift, All-Terrain Armoured Reconnaissance Tracked Vehicle
Tthe FV107 시미타르 is a British light armoured reconnaissance vehicle and a primary variant of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked)—or CVR(T)—family designed by Alvis Vehicles of Coventry. Operational with the British Army from 1971 through its formal retirement in 2023, the Scimitar was built to perform high-speed battlefield armed reconnaissance, screen friendly flanks, and probe enemy lines. Exceptional ground mobility, an ultra-low ground pressure hull, and a dual-feed 30 mm L21 RARDEN autocannon allowed the Scimitar to cross swampy, heavily rutted terrain inaccessible to main battle tanks. Over its five decades of service—spanning the Falklands War, the Gulf War, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan—it proved to be one of the most versatile and dependable tracked combat vehicles in modern military history.

Design Engineering: Aluminum Airframe Alloys, RARDEN Autocannons, and Low Ground Pressure
- Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Hull: The Scimitar’s structural hull was constructed entirely out of specially developed military-grade aluminum-zinc-magnesium alloy armor plate. This kept the baseline combat weight under 8 tonnes—enabling air transport inside C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft—while resisting medium-caliber shell splinters and heavy machine-gun fire.
- 30 mm L21 RARDEN Autocannon: Designed specifically for light armored vehicles, the long-recoil 30 mm RARDEN cannon fires high-velocity Armour-Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS) and High Explosive (HE) rounds. The gun is hand-fed using compact three-round clips, eliminating heavy external belt-feed mechanisms while preventing spent cartridge gases from entering the cramped combat turret.
- Ultra-Low Ground Pressure Footprint: Featuring lightweight aluminum road wheels and rubber-bushed tracks, the Scimitar exerted less ground pressure than an adult human footprint (approx. 5 lbs/sq in). This allowed the vehicle to float across soft boglands, snowfields, and deep mud that would instantly bog down heavy main battle tanks.
- Scimitar Mk 2 Modernization: Under the Life Extension Programme (LEP) developed for the Afghan theater, the **Scimitar Mk 2** variant introduced a redesigned hull structure built on a Spartan APC chassis. It integrated a fuel-efficient Cummins diesel engine, improved blast-protected seats, air conditioning, modern thermal night-fighting sights, and heavy composite bar/slat armor suites against RPG threats.
Operational History: Falklands Combat, Desert Storm Sweeps, and Afghanistan Patrols
- The Falklands War Victory (1982): Operating with the Blues and Royals, two Scimitars and two Scorpios provided crucial armored direct-fire support to Royal Marines and Paratroopers during battles for Mount Tumbledown and Wireless Ridge. Their low ground pressure allowed them to traverse saturated Falklands peat bogs that halted all other mechanical vehicles.
- Gulf War Armoured Sweeps (1991 – Operation Granby): Deployed alongside the 1st Armoured Division, Scimitar troops screened the advance of heavy Challenger 1 tanks across the open Iraqi desert. Their high speed, low silhouetted profile, and thermal sights allowed them to outmaneuver enemy reconnaissance forces and relay target data back to artillery batteries.
- Peacekeeping in the Balkans & Operation Telic (Iraq): Throughout UN and NATO peacekeeping missions in Bosnia and Kosovo, as well as during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Scimitars served as primary convoy escorts, urban reconnaissance platforms, and route-clearance security vehicles.
- Retirement and International Legacy: After over 50 years of distinguished service as the British Army’s principal light armored scout, the FV107 Scimitar fleet was officially phased out in late 2023 in favor of the modern Ajax tracked armored vehicle program, leaving behind a legacy as one of the world’s most effective reconnaissance designs.

멋진 사진이지만 정말 까다롭기 싫지만 시미타가 아닙니다. 표시된 이 버전은 실제로 76mm 주포의 연기 독성 문제로 인해 분해된 Scorpion의 선체를 사용하여 조립된 Sabre입니다. 그런 다음 Fox CVR(W) 장갑차의 포탑을 추가했습니다. Scimitar와의 주요 차이점은 보관함 구성이 약간 다르고 L7 GPMG 대신 7.62mm Hughes 체인 건을 포탑 장착 동축 기관총으로 장착한 것입니다. CVR(T) 디젤화 프로그램이 도입되었을 때 세이버는 어떤 이유에서인지 포함되지 않았습니다. 그들은 4.2 Lt 재규어 엔진으로 남아 있었고 주로 MOD에 의해 매각되었습니다. 희망이 hel [ps
