FV107 Scimitar armored reconnaissance vehicle excels in various combat zones, including the Falklands War, Gulf War, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq War, and Afghanistan. Its armor is made of lightweight yet resilient aluminum for enhanced mobility and protection. The primary armament is a 30 mm L21 RARDEN cannon capable of firing sabot, high-explosive (HE), and armor-piercing special effects (APSE) rounds with precise accuracy. A coaxial 7.62 mm L37A1 machine gun provides additional firepower for suppressive fire and close-quarters combat. Power is delivered by a robust Cummins BTA 5.9 diesel engine, producing 190 horsepower (142 kW) for swift maneuverability. The vehicle's suspension features torsion bars for improved stability and traction on uneven terrain. Scimitar reconnaissance vehicles can travel up to 450 kilometers on a single tank of fuel, allowing them to stay ahead of enemy forces for extended periods. A top speed of 50 miles per hour (80.5 km/h) enables the Scimitar to rapidly respond to changing situations. Weighing in at 7.8 tonnes, the FV107 Scimitar is agile and nimble despite its robust build. Its compact dimensions - 4.9 meters in length, 2.2 meters in width, and 2.1 meters in height - allow for ease of transportation and deployment. A crew of three highly trained soldiers operates the vehicle, providing a strong foundation for effective reconnaissance missions.
