Tiger 1:35 ERC-90F1 Lynx French AV

The ERC 90 Sagaie is a modern wheeled French reconnaissance combat vehicle. The first prototypes were built in 1975 and series production started in the early 1980s and is still ongoing. To date, approximately 410 vehicles of this type have been built. Propulsion is provided by a single Peugeot V-6 PRV engine with a capacity of 155 hp. The vehicle's armament consists of a single 90 mm GIAT F4 cannon and two 7.62 mm AAT M52 machine guns.

The ERC 90 Sagaie was developed by Panhard on the basis of the armored personnel carrier of the VCR. The new car was subjected to very intensive tests by the French army in the period 1978-1980 and after introducing the necessary corrections and modifications, it entered mass production. The car was designed as a light reconnaissance vehicle with the greatest possible firepower. It has steel and composite armor up to 10 mm thick, providing protection against small arms and artillery shell fragments. The car also has a long range (up to 700 km) and good performance, especially a top speed of up to 95 km/h. The car has a very limited ability to overcome water obstacles. The main user of the ERC 90 Sagaie is France, but the car has been and is still exported to countries such as Argentina, Chad and Gabon. Spain undertook license manufacturing of this vehicle under the name Lynx. Vehicles of this type were used in combat, among other things, in the war in the Persian Gulf (1990-1991) or in the course of action in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period 1992-1995.
