这 FV603 撒拉逊人 是Alvis自1952年以来设计和生产的六轮装甲运兵车。它已被世界各地的各种运营商使用,并且在一些国家/地区仍在次要角色中使用。撒拉逊人之所以成为一种公认的工具,是因为它参与了北爱尔兰的治安工作,也因为它在南非政府执行种族隔离制度中的作用。

General Characteristics (Cold War Era)
The FV603 Saracen is a classic British six-wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) designed and manufactured by Alvis. Developed in the post-WWII era, it was part of the FV600 series (sharing many components with the Saladin armored car). It is most famously recognized for its use by the British Army in internal security and riot control roles, particularly during the conflict in Northern Ireland.

- Main Armament: One 7.62 mm (.30 cal) Browning M1919 machine gun (or L37 GPMG) in a small one-man turret.
- Secondary Armament: A 7.62 mm machine gun (often a Bren or another M1919) on a ring-mount at the rear of the troop compartment roof.
- Fire Ports: Firing ports in the hull sides and rear allowed the transported troops to engage targets from within the protection of the armor.
- Riot Control Role: For non-lethal use, Saracens were often fitted with wire mesh screens (for protection against improvised explosives/firebombs) and, occasionally, water cannons.
