The general director of the French company AMX-APX, which worked on a series of relevant programs, proposed to develop a wheeled version of the tracked infantry fighting vehicle of the 70s (AMX-10P), but to arm it with a 105-mm gun from another project that had been cancelled (IFV ERAC ). The AMX-10RC is a development from the 1970s, which arose against the background of attempts to replace the outdated EBR armored reconnaissance vehicle with more modern technology. So, in French, this car is often called a tank (char). There is an indication of this even in the name of the equipment: RC stands for Roues-Canon (“cannon on a wheeled chassis”). It is equipped with a much more powerful weapon than most conventional IFVs – a 105 mm gun. Formally, the AMX-10RC is a French infantry fighting vehicle designed for reconnaissance in dangerous environments, which is also capable of providing fire support.
