- AML-60 (Auto Mitrailleuse Légère, or “Light Machine Gun Car”) is a fast, long-ranged, and relatively cheap armoured car with excellent reconnaissance capability.
- Designed on a small, lightly armoured 4×4 chassis, it weighs an estimated 5.5 tonnes, and suitable for airborne deployment.
- The AML-60-7 was initial production model and included a rounded turret with twin 7.5mm machine guns and a breech-loaded 60 mm mortar, with 3,800 stored rounds of 7.5mm ammo and 43 (53) mortar projectiles. AML 60-20 replaced 7.5mm MG with an M621 20 mm autocannon with 500 rounds.
- With its D921 main gun, an AML can destroy targets at a range of 1,500 metres.
- It is considered a match for second-line and older main battle tanks in this configuration.
