Panhard 178 armoured car (French)

Description

Developed during the mid 1930s, the Panhard 178 was a 4×4 armoured car used by the French during WWII. The 178 was comparable to its contemporaries, with around 20mm of armour and a 25mm light anti-tank gun in a turret. It had a good road speed of 45mph, but relatively poor cross country capability with a top speed of 26mph and limited obstacle crossing ability.

After the Fall of France, many Panhards were captured by Germany and used throughout the war, particularly on the Eastern Front. 

Around 1150 were built in total and were still in use during the Vietnam War
