@red.wrench.films: 🦂The FV101 Scorpion was a British air-portable recon vehicle that entered service with the British Army in 1972, becoming one of the lightest and fastest tracked armoured vehicles ever built. Armed with a 76mm gun, the Scorpion was designed primarily for reconnaissance and served in that role across a wide range of theatres including the Falklands, the Gulf War and Northern Ireland. A family of variants on the same hull — collectively known as Combat Vehicle, Reconnaissance (Tracked) - CVR(T) - included the Scimitar, Striker, Samson, Spartan, Sultan and Samaritan, as well as the later Stormer and Sabre families. The Scorpion was retired from British Army service in 1994 but continued to serve with numerous export customers well into the 2000s, with some nations operating it to this day. #military #History #tank
