AMX-10 PAC 90 in SAF?

insouciant SG

Was at the Marine Carnival over the weekend (which seem more a SAF carnival than anything else) and saw the AMX 10 PAC 90.

Any idea what it's role in the SAF is? Are they a recent acquisition? Haven't seen much of them in Singapore.

They are no longer in service, used mainly for exhibition purposes to wow crowds when they find the amx-13s too boring. Laughing

they are used by some reservist unit. no doubt the amx 10 can swim well, but it's gunnery syst sucks. gen 1 type.
SM1 is much more accurate.

Well, the AMX-10 does look a heck lot better than the AMX-15. But wah lao, that really boh liao rite? Juz keep a tank for exhibition purposes? All that work maintaining it and all?

Sheesh!

The last time i heard they are being used by the 42SAR and together with Guards they are used for amphibious assaults. They are not even officially acknowledged yet(not in official websites),are they retired already? Very Happy

They're still sent to gsmb for maintenance. Laughing

The AMX-10Ps and AMX-10PAC-90s should be still in use, after all they are comparatively new whwn compared to the AMX-13s. Officially these are assigned to the 21st Division with an emphasis on amphibious operations...
22 of each type were bought in the early 1990s, with rumours that more may have been acquired...
