Home›Armored Vehicles›Armored Cars and Reconnaissance VehiclesGroupArmored Cars and Reconnaissance VehiclesThis group collects the Armored Vehicles subcategory's armored cars and reconnaissance vehicles: wheeled armored cars, armored and amphibious scout cars, and tracked or wheeled reconnaissance vehicles built for speed and observation rather than a main battle tank's firepower and protection. Its 17 members span the type from early wheeled armored cars through modern reconnaissance platforms, kept separate from the sibling Tanks and Infantry Fighting Vehicles groups because a reconnaissance vehicle trades armor and armament for speed and sensor range in a way those two roles do not.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1902 1Browse ByAll Armored Cars and Reconnaissance VehiclesArmored Cars and Reconnaissance Vehicles23 entriesArmored Cars and Reconnaissance VehiclesFilter Results23 entriesWeapon FamilyAllArmored Cars and Reconnaissance Vehicles (23)Weapon Type or ClassAllAmphibious armored scout car (1)Amphibious armoured scout car (1)Armored car (4)Armored car / Scout car (1)Armored fighting vehicle (4)Armored scout car (1)Armoured car (3)Armoured car (wheeled reconnaissance vehicle) (1)Armoured car with reconnaissance capability (1)Armoured reconnaissance car (1)Armoured reconnaissance vehicle (1)Reconnaissance armored car (1)Reconnaissance vehicle (1)scout car (1)Tracked reconnaissance armored fighting vehicle (1)CaliberAll.303 British (1).50 BMG (2).50 caliber (1)105mm (1)15mm (1)20mm (3)25mm (1)37mm (3)40mm (1)60mm (1)7.62x51mm NATO (1)75mm (3)90mm (2)Introduced EraAll1932 (1)1935 (1)1937 (2)1940 (1)1941 (5)1942 (1)1944 (2)1951 (1)1952 (1)1957 (1)1960 (1)1962 (1)1963 (2)1974 (1)1981 (1)1982 (1)Service StatusAllIn Service (6)Retired (13)OperatorAllBrazilian Army (1)British Army (2)French Armed Forces (1)Indian Army (2)Israeli Defense Forces (2)Red Army (1)Royal Air Force (1)Soviet Armed Forces (1)United States Marine Corps (1)Wehrmacht (3)Wars Used InAllAngolan Civil War (2)Cambodian Civil War (5)Chinese Civil War (1)Croatian War of Independence (1)Djiboutian Civil War (1)Eritrean War of Independence (1)Falklands War (1)First Congo War (1)First Indochina War (4)First Sudanese Civil War (1)Gulf War (5)Iran-Iraq War (3)Iraq War (1)Korean War (1)Kosovo War (2)Laotian Civil War (2)Nigerian Civil War (1)Rwandan Civil War (1)Second Congo War (2)Second Sino-Japanese War (2)Second Sudanese Civil War (3)Sino-Indian War (2)Six-Day War (2)South African Border War (1)Sri Lankan Civil War (2)Syrian Civil War (1)Vietnam War (4)World War II (8)Yom Kippur War (2)ManufacturerAllArzamas Machine-Building Plant (1)Auto Union (1)Cadillac (1)Daimler Company (3)Engesa (1)Fiat Automobiles (1)GAZ (3)General Motors (2)KNDS France (1)Panhard (3)Rootes Group (1)Textron Marine & Land Systems (1)White Motor Company (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 23AEC armoured carArmored VehiclesAMX-10 RCArmored Vehicles2 linksAutoblindo Fiat-AnsaldoArmored Vehicles1 linkBA-64Armored Vehicles4 linksBRDM-1Armored Vehicles4 linksBRDM-2Armored Vehicles3 linksCadillac Gage CommandoArmored Vehicles5 linksCadillac Gage Commando ScoutArmored VehiclesDaimler armoured carArmored Vehicles4 linksDaimler DingoArmored Vehicles2 linksEE-9 CascavelArmored Vehicles5 linksFerret armoured carArmored Vehicles10 linksHumber armoured carArmored Vehicles2 linksLeichter PanzerspähwagenArmored Vehicles3 linksLynx reconnaissance vehicleArmored VehiclesM2 half-track carArmored Vehicles3 linksM3 scout carArmored Vehicles7 linksPanhard 178Armored Vehicles5 linksPanhard AMLArmored Vehicles14 linksPanhard EBRArmored VehiclesSchwerer PanzerspahwagenArmored Vehicles2 linksSd.Kfz. 234Armored VehiclesT17E1 StaghoundArmored Vehicles2 linksSources1.
