The AMX-10RC is a wheeled and heavily armed version of the AMX-10P combat vehicle. The AMX-10RC should not be confused with the AMX-10P; both share automotive components but otherwise have completely different battlefield roles. The AMX-10RC is amphibious and has very good mobility. It is usually used for reconnaissance missions in dangerous environments, or for fire support. The AMX 10 P is a French armoured personnel carrier. ...
The word amphibious or amphibian, when used alone, has several possible meanings in the English language. ...
Design and characteristics
Initial work on the AMX-10RC began in 1970, with production beginning in 1976. The vehicle features a powerful GIAT 105mm gun mounted in a welded aluminium turret. The turret also serves to house 3 crewmembers, while the driver sits in the front of the hull; the COTAC fire control system is provided for gun aiming. 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday. ...

The AMX-10RC has been the recipient of numerous upgrades over its lifetime. Newer systems include battlefield-management system terminals, most notably. For its part in the 1991 Gulf War, the AMX-10RC was provided with extra add-on armour and anti-tank missile decoy systems. Other improvements include the installation of a NATO 105mm gun, as the GIAT model was not compatible with NATO munitions. Thermal imaging systems have also been installed, using units taken from decomissioned AMX-30B2 MBTs. A central tire-inflation system is available for added traction over soft terrain. The AMX-10RC is equipped with an NBC (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical) protection system and may conduct reconnaissance in a radioactive environment. 1991 (MCMXCI) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
