VEC Cavalry Scout Vehicle

Notes: The VEC CSV is the standard reconnaissance vehicle of the Spanish military. It has had no known exports. The standard version is fitted with a 25mm Bushmaster cannon of the same type on the Bradley and LAV-25; however, there is another, rarer version that mounts a 90mm French gun, using the same turret as a Panhard AML-90. The engine of this vehicle is very quiet, with baffles in the exhaust system and soundproofing for the engine compartment to quiet the vehicle to about 60% of normal engine noise for a vehicle of this type and size. The VEC has a 4.5-ton capacity winch at the front of the vehicle. The driver has a hatch on the front left deck, and the commander and gunner have hatches on the turret deck. There is a hatch on the rear right face for the crew as well, as well as two hatches in the roof of the passenger compartment. The VEC is fitted with extra radios (3 in all) and a computerized land navigation system. The VEC also has air conditioning and heating for the crew.
