Description
An AMX 10 Light Tank of the French Foreign Legion, probably the 1st REC, as part of the Coalition forces against the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Note that this useful item of light armour is wheeled, rather than tracked for speed and durability on roads as well as a descent off-road capability. It is armed with a powerful 105mm gun.
Location
Iraqi/Kuwait desert, 1991
