The first prototypes were completed around 1968. The AMX-10P was developed by the Atelier de Construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux (AMX) in response to a French army requirement for a new tracked armoured fighting vehicle to supplement or replace the ageing AMX-VCI. ĪMX-10Ps share a number of common transmission and chassis components with their armoured car counterpart, the AMX-10 RC. Special marine variants were developed for Singapore and Indonesia, including a fire support model known as the AMX-10 PAC 90, which mated the AMX-10P chassis to the complete turret and 90 mm gun assembly of the Panhard ERC-90 Sagaie.
AMX-10Ps were popular with a number of Arab armies and have been operated by Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. It is fitted as standard with a trim vane and bilge pumps to assist with the flotation process. The AMX-10P is fully amphibious, being propelled through water at speeds of up to 7 km/h by twin waterjets. The first prototypes were completed in 1968. It was developed after 1965 to replace the AMX-VCI in service with the mechanized regiments of the French Army. The AMX-10P is a French amphibious infantry fighting vehicle.
