The AMX 10 was designed to kill insurgents in civillian cars in Mali and the Ivory Coast. It has a high reverse speed because youre supposed to run away once they bring up anything serious.
Lol
Lmao
I'm guessing these things are getting shredded by WW2-era AT rifles?
Fun fact! (Which I'm sure you knew already, but some folks may not) There's Soviet machine gun (which is still in use) - KPV (or KPVT for vehicle mounted version). It uses the 14.5 mm ammunition that was originally designed for the aforementioned WW2 WT rifles. Except now it's a machine gun with machine gun fire rate.
How tf is it even considered a tank it's an apc with big gun
it's offically classified as "tank", undoubtly for padding French egos and pockets of manufacturers, but it's hard to really classify because it's essentially heavy armored car with really huge cannon for this kind of vehicle. Closest analogue would be tank destroyer/recoinessance vehicle.
In liberal fr*nce you have smol tank big gun, in People's Democratic Republic of Algeria we have big tank smol gun
The vehicle replacing AMX10 in French army looks like that, so even they considered that gun to be too big:
That a BMP?
It's a BMP-62, it's a t62... With a BMP turret
If it works! Thanks
