What is crocodile armoured personnel carrier?

The Crocodile Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) is a military vehicle designed for the transportation of troops and equipment in combat operations. It is named after the crocodile due to its armored exterior, which resembles the crocodile's scaly skin.

The Crocodile APC is manufactured by the Ukrainian Defense Company "Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau". It uses a T-64 tank chassis as the base and can carry up to 20-25 personnel, including the driver, commander, and gunner. The vehicle is equipped with a 14.5mm machine gun and a 7.62mm machine gun, providing effective fire support to the troops during combat operations.

The Crocodile APC has a maximum speed of 70 km/h on the road and 10 km/h on water, thanks to its amphibious capabilities. It can cross rivers, lakes, and other water obstacles, making it an ideal vehicle for military operations that involve water bodies.

The Crocodile APC's armor provides protection against small arms fire, artillery shrapnel, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The vehicle's electronic systems are designed to protect against radio-frequency jammers, and its suspension system allows it to maneuver over rough terrain and obstacles.

The Crocodile APC has seen service in various conflicts around the world, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where it has been used by both sides. It has also been exported to several countries, including Egypt, Pakistan, and Kazakhstan.
