| Video Discription | The AMX-10RC has been in service with the French army since 1981 and participated in the first war in the Persian Gulf, in Afghanistan and in the Sahel. The machines recommended themselves perfectly in the role of a mobile anti-tank reserve. A large range (800 km) and reliable chassis made it possible to get long marches. Highly mobile, these vehicles can be used for reconnaissance missions as well as fire support during combat. The French Army currently has 247 AMX-10s, which will be phased out due to wear and tear and replaced by the new EBRC Jaguar armored vehicles, which are already beginning to arrive in individual units. The first prototype of the AMX-10RC wheeled armored vehicle was presented at an exhibition in Satori in June 1971. Due to the lack of armament, it was made in the version of the AMX-10RP armored personnel carrier (P – Personel). The first prototype with a TK 105 turret - AMX-10RC (C - Canon) was ready in two years. The tests ended in November 1977. And at the end of 1979, the first serial AMX-10RCs arrived at the 2nd Hussar Regiment. By 1987, the French army received 325 units of AMX-10RC (in 1995 - 12 more machines, manufactured instead of delivered to Qatar). They formed the basis of armored cavalry regiments and were also part of the Rapid Reaction Forces. In the latter, in the mid-80s, two divisions equipped with wheeled armored vehicles were formed - the 6th Light Armored Division and the 9th Marine Infantry Division. Each of them included two armored cavalry regiments (three squadrons each - 36 AMX-10RC) and two motorized infantry (on VAB APCs), as well as an artillery regiment and support and supply units. Corps regiments could have four squadrons (48 AMX-10RC). The sixteen-ton machine has a "tank" layout: in front is the control compartment with the driver's workplace, behind it is a combat compartment with a three-seater turret, and in the stern of the machine there is an engine and transmission compartment. The AMX-10RC is armed with a 105-mm F2 rifled gun with a semi-automatic shutter, capable of firing at a range of up to 2,000 meters. The length of the barrel is 47 calibers. A serious drawback is the lack of a stabilization system. Auxiliary weapons are represented by 7.62 mm AAN F1 machine guns. One of them is paired with a gun, the second (optionally) is installed on the tower, near the loader's hatch. Ammunition of machine guns — 4,200 cartridges. In 1987, the subcaliber OFL 105 F3 armor-piercing projectile with a mass of 3.8 kg and an initial speed of 1400 m/s was introduced into the ammunition. It is capable of penetrating 365 mm of homogeneous steel armor mounted at an angle of 60˚. Thanks to this, the AMX-10RS can effectively fight the T-55 and T-62 tanks. Ammunition consists of 38 shells (as a rule, 10 subcaliber, 9 cumulative and 19 high-explosive fragmentation). 12 of them are in the tower, the rest are in the body of the machine. The AMX-10RS became the first French model of armored vehicles to receive a fire control system. The Safran M401 COTAC UAV, combined with the APX M550 laser rangefinder (range measurement range 4000-10000 m, accuracy 5 m), provides firing at moving targets at any position of the turret, as well as automatic calculation of corrections. The data calculation time for shooting is 1.5 seconds. Although the gun is not stabilized, its guidance drives allow automatic guidance of the gun based on the data of the anti-aircraft missile system. In the 90s, AMH-10RS received sets of mounted armor. As a result, the weight of the AMX-10RS increased from 15.8 to 16.6 tons, and it lost the ability to float. And in 2005-2010, 256 machines were upgraded to the AMX-10RCR (Rénové) standard. They received the combat information system SIT-VI, which provided the exchange of information with other machines and control bodies, means of self-defense (including the infrared suppression station LIRE and the grenade launcher system "Halyksom"), updated communication and a new thermal imaging camera. Once again, the reservation was strengthened, bringing the mass to 17.2 tons (with the installation of the anti-mine and anti-explosive protection complex SEPAR, the mass increases to 22 tons). 29HY-_xSicI |
