The FV432 is a tracked armoured personnel carrier built by GKN Sankey as part of the British Army FV430 vehicle family, entering service in 1963 to move infantry across the battlefield. It became the most common variant of that family, and by the 1980s close to 2,500 vehicles were in use through the Cold War. Many have since been replaced by vehicles such as Warrior, but around 500 were upgraded, some as the Bulldog variant with extra armor and modern systems, to keep them in service into the 2020s.
