Panhard EBR

The Panhard EBR (Panhard Engin Blinde de Reconnaissance) is a light armoured car designed by Panhard for the French Army and later used across the globe, notably by the Portuguese Army during the Portuguese Colonial War in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. The EBR is an 8x8 wheeled reconnaissance vehicle designed before the Second World War, but with production only commencing afterwards, with over 1200 vehicles being manufactured after 1954. While being lightly armoured, the EBR was armed with the 90mm FL-11 or 75mm cannon known as the FL-10 or L/48 and supported by up to four machine guns, one co-axial, one operated by the driver, one by the co-driver and one by the commander, though the latter was not found on all EBRs. The EBR was run by a crew of four, and driven by a 12 cylinder engine.
