C13

Notes: The C13 was designed specifically for the export market. It is mostly a basic box APC, but has three firing ports in the left side of the hull and two in the right. The commander has a high cupola that gives him good protection when firing his weapon. In the rear of the vehicle is a ramp for infantry entry. The vehicle’s high speed is matched by its high fuel consumption.

VCC-1

Notes: A highly modified M-113A2 built in Italy and used by Italy and Saudi Arabia. The VCC-1 is fitted with two firing ports on each side of the vehicle. In addition to the usual M2HB, there is a MAG located on the roof at the rear of the troop compartment. The VCC-1 has a layer of steel armor added to the front, sides, and rear, giving an added 2 points of armor to all faces except the deck. A more powerful engine, better transmission, and larger fuel tanks complete the modifications.

VCC-80 Dardo HITFIST

Notes: This new infantry fighting vehicle was first seen in the ranks of the Italian Army in late 1997. It is somewhat similar to the BMP-2, though the shape is more elongated and the turret bigger. The turret, though normally manned by two, can be easily operated by one man, and has a TOW II launcher and four smoke grenade launchers on either side. There is a reloading hatch for the TOW missile launchers on the roof of the passenger compartment, and a large ramp on the rear of the vehicle. Two firing ports are on each side of the passenger compartment, and another one is in the rear ramp. These allow the occupants to fire assault rifles or submachineguns from inside the vehicle.
