The AMX-13/105, also known as Modèle 1987, was an upgrade and modernization for the French AMX-13 light tank upgunning it to use a 105mm gun. This powerful upgrade allowed this lightweight vehicles a much stronger punch than the original 75mm gun had offered. Further improvements to the optics as well as the addition of a laser rangefinder further enhanced lethality.
The GIAT Industries AMX-10P is a French 1st generation IFV, produced starting in 1973 as a direct response to the innovative Soviet BMP-1. The AMX-10 chassis proved exceptionally versatile, and acquitted itself well in numerous specialty configurations. Perhaps one of the most fearsome variants is the AMX-10 HOT, named after the Haut subsonique Optiquement Teleguide Tire d’un Tube (High Subsonic, Optical, Remote-Guided, Tube-Launched) anti-tank missiles it carries. Four missiles are mounted on twin launchers on either side of a small turret, and 20 additional missiles are stored within the troop compartment. ATGM carriers like the AMX-10 HOT were considered crucial force multipliers for NATO forces, as it greatly boosted anti-vehicular firepower at relatively low cost. The HOT in particular was a potent weapon for its era, having a range of 4 kilometers (~2.5 miles), outranging most Soviet equipment it could encounter. AMX-10s of all variants remain in limited service today.

The AMC AMX is a two-seat GT-style muscle car produced by American Motors Corporation from 1968 through 1970. As one of just two American-built two-seaters, the AMX was in direct competition with the 2.5 cm longer wheelbase Chevrolet Corvette, for substantially less money. It was based on the new-for-1968 Javelin, but with a shorter wheelbase and deletion of the rear seat. In addition, the AMX's rear quarter windows remained fixed, making it a coupé, while the Javelin was a true two-door hardtop.
Fitted with the standard high-compression 4.8 l or optional 5.6 l or 6.4 l AMC V8 engine, the AMX offered sporty performance at an affordable price. Despite this value and enthusiastic initial reception by automotive media and enthusiasts, sales never thrived. However, the automaker's larger objectives to refocus AMC's image on performance and to bring younger customers into its dealer showrooms were achieved. After three model years, the two-seat version was discontinued.
The AMX's signature badging was transferred to a high-performance version of its four-seat sibling, the Javelin, from the 1971 to 1974 model years. American Motors capitalized on the respected reputation of the original two-seat AMXs by reviving the model designation for performance-equipped coupé versions of the compact Hornet in 1977, Concord in 1978, and the subcompact Spirit in 1979 and 1980.

The AMX 10P is a French infantry fighting vehicle designed in the late 60s and used by many armies from the 1970s to the present day.
It replaces the AMX 13 VCI as a mechanized troop transport vehicle. In France, it will equip the chasseur regiments accompanying the AMX 30 tanks until 2015.
This model can accommodate up to 7 fully-equipped soldiers inside (1 driver + 6 crew), with functional roof and driver hatches, as well as a rear ramp. It can also roll.

The AMX-VCI was an armored personal carrier variant of the french AMX-13 light tank. Being a variant of a light tank, the AMX-VCI had exceptional frontal armor for an APC while managing to fit 10 soldiers into the passenger bay. Numerous variants were produced, with later versions such as the one shown here having 20mm cannons as their primary armament. Over 3,000 AMX-VCIs were produced and they saw service until eventually being phased out of front line French use by the newer AMX-10P.

The AMX-13 was a French light tank created during the early Cold War. It's distinctive oscillating turret housed autoloader drums for the main cannon, which depending on the model was either 75mm, 90mm, or 105mm. The AMX-13 was quite mobile but only lightly armored, with a maximum of 40mm of protection. Dozens of variants were built and they were exported to many nations around the world, making it a major success for the French arms industry.
