Al-Fahd AF-40-8-1
Notes: This is the newest APC for Saudi Arabia. It comes in three versions: a basic armored car, a version with a 25mm KBA autocannon, and a version with a 40mm Bofors L/70 autocannon. They entered production in that order, with the basic APC being the most numerous, and the 40mm-armed version being the least numerous. There is also a version with a 120mm mortar; this is dealt with in Middle Eastern Self-Propelled Artillery section. Versions also exist with a TOW ATGM mount, a 106mm recoilless rifle, or a 105mm cannon; these are dealt with in the Middle Eastern Self-Propelled Guns section. The Al-Fahd has a very tight turning radius, being steerable on all eight wheels. The biggest advantage of the Al-Fahd is its high speed; the biggest disadvantage is the high fuel consumption of its powerful engine.
Twilight 2000 Notes: Of these three versions of the Al-Fahd, the only one available for the Twilight War is the basic armored car version.
Merc 2000 Notes: The model armed with a 40mm autocannon was not produced.
