AVGP Cougar Armoured Vehicle General Purpose

AVGP Cougar Armoured Vehicle General Purpose on display at Canadian Forces Base Borden located in Simcoe County Ontario Canada

 

The Cougar was used for training in Canada as a reconnaissance vehicle. During the 1980s and 1990s, it was used by armoured units as a fire support vehicle, for those units not equipped with the Leopard tank. The squadrons equipped with the Cougar in those regiments were humorously referred to as the "boat squadron" as opposed to the reconnaissance squadrons, which were equipped with the Lynx, and later the Coyote (another AVGP successor).
