The captured AMX-10RCR opens the Russian Federation to Western Military Technologies-Experts Assessment
In this regard, Army Recognition observers noted that the car has attracted considerable attention due to its advanced technological characteristics, and its admiration gives Russia a strategic opportunity to study and analyze the latest Western military technologies. Experts suggested that judging by the published personnel, it is the latest version of the armored vehicle, namely AMX-10RCR.
It is equipped with modern protection technologies, including reinforced armor and modernized aiming systems, which makes it a formidable opponent on the battlefield. AMX-10RCR is a modernized version of AMX-10RC, which is in service with the French army. This version is equipped with additional armor modules that provide excellent protection against penetrating kinetic energy and explosive devices, such as mines and homemade explosive devices (SVP).
The fire control system includes advanced guidance and support technologies, improved optics, thermal imager and laser rangefinders, which allow you to find and strike goals in different conditions, including at night. In addition, the technique is equipped with a hydropneumatic suspension, which provides better resistance and maneuverability in the rough terrain, increasing the mobility of the machine.
The authors of the publication concluded that the capture of AMX-10RCR opens unique opportunities for Russia in the study and counteraction of modern Western military technologies. Technical and strategic knowledge gained through the analysis of this machine can significantly affect the future improvements of the Russian armored vehicles. Recall that Defense Express reviewers believe that French "light tanks" AMX-10 RCs were developed for war with an opponent who has no heavy anti-tank weapons.
