RAM V-1
|
| |
|
| |
It is the custom of Israeli armaments industries to amortize their development costs by selling their low-tech products on the open market to everyone but their direct enemies. The RAM V-1 is a 4x4 light recon vehicle. The vehicle is open-topped and has no access hatches, but the driver and commander have small firing ports (one on each side). The RAM V-1 is armed with pintle-mounted MAG MGs, one firing forward and one to each side. All of these weapons are readilydismountable. The passengers dismount to form a recon team.
Some vehicles mount a single TOW ATGM launcher on a central pintle mount at the cost of the side machineguns (four missiles are carried in place of two of the passengers; the other two form the weapon crew). |
