| Source measurement | — | The VCR is a 6×6 wheeled APC designed in the late 1970s and is based on the earlier 4×4 M-3 APC which had been a huge success for Panhard on the export market, with over 1,200 built. Production of the VCR began in 1979. The center pair of wheels can be raised when the vehicle is operated on roads (when down all six wheels drive). The engine is located in the front to the right, with the driver in the front-center of the vehicle. The VCR has 8 mm of steel armor on all sides except the front which has 12 mm. This gives protection against 12.7 mm AP rounds in the front and against 7.62 mm AP rounds on all other sides.[source]Panhard VCR · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The basic weapons option was either a 7.62mm light machine gun or a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun , on a ring mount located on the left-front roof.[source]Panhard VCR · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The VCR can also be fitted with a ring mount with a one-man armored turret with a 7.62 mm machine gun or a one-man armored powered turret mounting a 20-mm automatic cannon located at the front-center of the vehicle roof.[source]Panhard VCR · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage An ambulance version, the VCR/IS, which has provision for three stretchers (four in an emergency for quick transport) and a medic, heavy duty air conditioning system, water supply, a refrigerator, electric sterilizer, medical cupboards and a large tent that can be erected from the rear of the vehicle.[source]Panhard VCR · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
