The most successful modern 8×8 — Finland's Patria AMV is a modular wheeled armoured vehicle adopted by a dozen nations and licence-built across Europe, Africa and Asia (as Poland's Rosomak, South Africa's Badger and more). One chassis, many roles, combat-tested from Afghanistan onward.
A tank's gun on wheels — Italy's 8×8 Centauro II mounts a full 120mm cannon with main-battle-tank firepower on a fast, road-mobile, mine-protected wheeled hull. The heavier, harder-hitting successor to the original Centauro, built for rapid fire support without a tank's logistics.
Britain's troubled recon vehicle — a tracked, sensor-heavy armoured scout with a 40mm cased-telescoped cannon, meant to be the British Army's digital eyes. Eight years late and beset by noise-and-vibration injuries that hospitalized crews, it finally began entering service in 2025.
France's networked 6×6 cavalry vehicle — the Scorpion-program Jaguar that replaces three older recon and fire-support types with one, mounting a 40mm cased-telescoped cannon and Akeron anti-tank missiles. The digital, missile-armed successor to the AMX-10RC.
France's 6×6 "gun on wheels" — a fast, 105mm-armed reconnaissance vehicle the press dubbed a light tank when France sent it to Ukraine. Hard-hitting and quick on roads, but thinly armored: a mobile cavalry scout pressed, controversially, toward front-line assault work.
