day’s armored battlefield.” It’s
impressive array of weaponry
include the 25mm Chain Can-

ized turret so that it has the abil-
ity to fire while on the move a
7.62mm machine gun and a
twin -tu TOW (T ube-
launched Optically-sighted
Wire-guided) missile launcher.
In addition the vehicle has six
periscope and firing ports each
ith a 5.56mm automatic

lighted to be among the first re-
serve component units getting
