The Panhard AML-245 (Auto Mitrailleuse Légère or Light Gun Car) is a fast long-ranged and relatively cheap armoured car with excellent reconnaissance capability. Designed on a small lightly armoured 4X4 chassis it can carry a turret-mounted 90mm gun or a breech loading 60mm mortar for armament. The vehicle is considered a match for second-line and older tanks.
