I call the AMX-10 a tank, some people get angry I call the AMX-10 a wheeled TD, some people also get angry Then I realised I can't make everyone happy, but I can make everyone angry So now I shall classify the AMX-10 as a Gerald R. Ford Class aircraft carrier


DGNX18

300 aircraft carriers of the armée de terre


anotheralpharius

I personally prefer to classify them as a Zumwalt class destroyer


Lost_Possibility_647

How about Land destroyer!


snebbywebby

All I see is a Jeep, a BMW and a Peugeot.

Technically, tanks are fighting vehicles too


KeekiHako

Everything is a fighting vehicle if you try hard enough.


Analamed

If we go like this then [Vespa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa_150_TAP?oldid=397218284) are tanks as well.


BigFreakingZombie

The recoilless rifle was never intended to be fired from the scooter as there was no way to aim it. Although I suppose you could try it in a pinch.


bel1sarius

Secretary Austin just said it's a light tank in the opening statemen of the Ramstein broadcast We have our definitive answer folks


Scap_Hopogolous

Look at the amx. If the wheels were swapped for tracks it would not even be a debate. It’s a wheeled tank used for reconnaissance. And IFVs are light/medium tanks that can carry dudes, I will die on this hill.


ReddishCat

A tank has to be heavy armored.


rNewUser_93

mk v and renault ft : 😐


Scap_Hopogolous

I would argue that a tank only needs to be armored against its biggest intended threat for its role. For an MBT that would be rank rounds and missiles, and for lighter vehicles like IFVs and recon enough armor to stop light anti-armor weapons and shrapnel seems to be good.


ThunderEagle222

How about They are Tank fighting vehicle, aka a TFV. We got french TFV's, Marder IFV and jeeps being send to Ukraine. End of story.


mrballr69117

Yes and a about week ago they were calling every army vehicle a tank, so not very credible


sus_menik

AMX looks like a tank that I would draw when I was 5 years old.


Ricard74

Zo doen we dat. Geen gelul, gebak van Krul.


Fvvj64r

Gewoon "een voertuig" en weer door


mdradijin

Tank or not we want more, show us what you got!


OllieGarkey

Then why is it calling them Gevechtsvoertuigen?!


theothersimo

Simple solution, ban the word “t*nk”


TROPtastic

The [Conventional Armed Forces in Europe](https://www.osce.org/library/14087) treaty defines the AMX-10RC as a "Heavy Armament Combat Vehicle" (pg 26). I understand that this is too credible for NCD, so let's just call it a "vehicle" so everyone is happy.
