have described the AMX-10RC as a"light tank" is significant. Despite Ukraine's pleas, the US and other countries have refused to send first-line tanks such as the M1 Abrams.
The AMX-10RC is really a six-wheeled armoured car. Designed in the early 1970s and first deployed by the French Army in 1979, it is a 16-ton vehicle capable of traveling 50 mph. France operates 245 AMX-10RCs and has deployed the vehicle in Operation Desert Storm and in counterinsurgency operations in Africa. Morocco, Qatar, and Cameroon also operate the AMX-10RC, though the French military is replacing it with the, a 23-tonne armoured scout vehicle armed with a 40 mm rapid-fire cannon and two anti-tank missiles.
"The US Army was never very fond of" wheeled armoured fighting vehicles, said Steven Zaloga, an author and expert on armoured vehicles, who compared the AMX-10RC to the US's now-retired M551 Sheridan and M3 Bradley cavalry fighting vehicle, both of which have tracks. Indeed, Ukraine has shown that modern reconnaissance relies on drones and satellites. Armoured vehicles are still vital on the battlefield, but an armoured car may have limited utility against swarms of anti-tank missiles, attack drones, and smart artillery shells.
