Den FV721 Räv 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.
Fox utformades för att utföra spanings- och eldunderstödsuppdrag till stöd för infanteri och pansarförband. Fox har en hög rörlighet och hastighet tack vare sin Rolls-Royce B81 bensinmotor och sin åttahjulsdrift. Räven kan också simma över vattenhinder med hjälp av en flytskärm och propellrar. Räven har en låg profil och ett bra synfält, vilket gör den lämplig för smygande operationer. Fox har ett NBC-skyddssystem (nukleärt, biologiskt och kemiskt) och en infraröd mörkerseendeenhet.
Den Fox 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.
