V Panhard AML (Auto Mitrailleuse Légère ali "lahki oklepni avtomobil") je hiter, dolg doseg in relativno poceni oklepni avtomobil prve generacije z odlično izvidniško zmogljivostjo. Zasnovan je na majhnem, rahlo oklepnem šasiji 4×4, tehta približno 5,5 tone - veliko lažji od rezervoarja - in je zato bolj primeren za hitro uporabo v zraku. Od leta 1959 se AML tržijo na največ petih celinah; Več različic je ostalo v neprekinjeni proizvodnji pol stoletja. Te je upravljalo štiriinpetdeset nacionalnih vlad in drugih subjektov po vsem svetu, ki so bili priča rednim bojem.

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.”
