The adaptable French-built AMX-10 Armored Personnel Carrier. By Staff Writer
The AMX-10 series of APCs serves a variety of roles in the French Army and in export countries. Like other APCs of this type, it can be fitted with a spectrum of turret systems for a particular assignment. The AMX-10 replaced the AMX VCI Infantry Combat Vehicle which served as the primary French APC in the 1950s. Indonesia and Singapore have both invested in the Marine version of the AMX-10 which features full amphibious support and is propelled through high water by water jets. These marine variants can be fitted with a powered 12.7mm (.50 caliber) machine gun turret, a 25mm cannon Dragar turret, or the 90mm TS-90 turret.
