Anti-Tank

[edit | edit source]

The RAM Mk3 AT is equipped with 4-8 LAHAT laser guided anti-tank missiles. Unlike other armored vehicles, which have the engine at the front or under the protected cabin, RAM places the entire power-pack – engine, automatic transmission and transfer cases at the rear.[7][8]
