Panhard AML 60 / 90
A low-cost export favorite - the French-designed AML 90 Scout Car.
By Staff Writer
The French Army used the Panhard AML 60 / 90 series of light armored cars to replace the 1950s-era Daimler Ferrets. Scout / Armored Cars have served on the battlefield for decades and continue to serve today in the form of four-wheeled 4x4, 6x6 or 8x8 armored personnel carriers. Their missions can range from a variety of low-conflict roles including reconnaissance and observation. Scout cars, in general, served vital roles in World War Two, the Korean War and in the Vietnam War.
Over 4,000 Panhard AML series of armored cars have been produced with a large number for export purpose (a total of 30 countries have used the Panhard AML series in some form). A pure APC model is also available and shares many common parts with the AML 60/90 variants.
