The AMX-10 RC is distinct from the amphibious [[AMX-10P]]: they both have a waterproof welded aluminum chassis and share automotive components, but have completely different battlefield roles. The AMX-10 RC is usually used for reconnaissance missions in dangerous environments or for fire support.

== Design and development ==
[[File:AMX-10 RC.svg|thumb|left|A diagram of the AMX-10 RC]]

Initial work on the AMX-10 RC began in 1970, derived of the [[AMX-10P]]. Prototypes testing began in 1976. The first production vehicle was delivered in 1979 to the 2nd ''Regiment de Hussards'' in [[Sourdun]].<ref name="imagedef"/> The vehicle features a powerful GIAT 105&nbsp;mm gun mounted in a welded aluminum turret. The TK 105 turret houses three crew members, while the driver sits in the front of the hull. A COTAC [[fire control system]] is provided for gun aiming. It has a [[Six-wheel drive|six wheel drive]]. The AMX-10 RC uses [[Differential steering|skid steering]] to turn the hull.

=== Engine ===
The AMX-10 RC initially used the [[Hispano-Suiza]] HS 115-2, multi-fuel, liquid-cooled, supercharged V8 engine with {{cvt|250|hp|disp=flip}} at 3,200 rpm.

In 1985, the [[Moteurs Baudouin|Baudouin]] 6F11 SRX supercharged [[diesel engine]] was selected to equip the last production AMX-10 RC vehicles as a production cut-in, as well as for eventual retrofit to all AMX-10 RC vehicles of the French Army. This engine has {{cvt|300|hp|disp=flip}}, but governed at {{cvt|250|hp|disp=flip}} at 3,000 rpm in the French army.

A 24 volt electrical system with six 12-volt/100-ampere-hour batteries is standard. Two waterjets are used for water propulsion, mounted on each side of the hull at the rear.

=== Transmission ===
The AMX-10 RC vehicles use an unspecified preselector gearbox with four forward and four reverse gear ratios. The clutch is electro-magnetically operated and the gearbox is fitted with a torque converter. A power take-off unit operates the two waterjets. The AMX-10 RC is skid steered and can perform a pivot turn.

=== Suspension and running gear ===
The 6x6 AMX-10 RC is fitted with a hydropneumatic suspension system with variable ground clearance and tilt, provided by Messier Auto-Industry. A centralized lubrication and tire inflation system is fitted. A shock damper is mounted at each wheel station.

=== Armament ===
[[File:French Army AMX-10 RC armored vehicle prepares to fire during exericse.jpg|thumb|A French Army AMX-10 RC, 2017]]
The AMX-10 RC is fitted with a 105/47 F2 MECA 105&nbsp;mm medium-pressure gun, mounted in a GIAT Industries TK 105 three-man turret. The F2 cannon fires 105×527R proprietary ammunition. The turret uses a SAMM CH49 electrohydraulic gun control system. No stabilization system is fitted. 

An ANF1 7.62&nbsp;mm machine gun is mounted coaxially to the main armament. Two electrically operated smoke grenade launchers are mounted on each side of the turret. 38 main-gun rounds, 4,000 rounds of 7.62&nbsp;mm ammunition, and 16 smoke grenades are carried.

The F2 105&nbsp;mm medium-pressure rifled gun fires four types of 105×527R ammunition: OFL 105 F3 [[APFSDS]], OE 105 F3 [[High Explosive|HE]], OCC 105 F3 [[HEAT|HEAT-FS]] and the BSCC 105 F3 target practice round. The APFSDS, which uses the penetrator from the GIAT OFL 90 F1&nbsp;mm APFSDS round, is capable of defeating a [[NATO targets|NATO single heavy tank target]] at a range of 1,200 metres and the NATO triple heavy tank target at a range of 2,200 metres.

The AMX-10 RC has been upgraded many times. The DIVT-13 [[Low light level television|LLTV]] was replaced by using DIVT-16, 18 and 19 CASTOR thermal sights taken from decommissioned [[AMX 30|AMX-30B2]] MBTs. For the 1991 [[Gulf War]], the AMX-10 RC was provided with extra-high-hardness steel add-on armour and an EIREL infrared jammer. The original muzzle brake was replaced by a more efficient one, with a 10% recoil reduction, after the introduction of the OFL 105 F3 APFSDS in 1987. The flotation barrier and the water pump jets were removed, with their intakes sealed.

The AMX-10 RCR introduced a FINDERS C2R battlefield management system. One improvement considered, but not implemented, was the installation of the TML 105 modular light turret, armed with a more powerful 105&nbsp;mm G2 high-pressure gun, as the F2 gun was not compatible with NATO munitions. A central tire inflation system is available for added traction over soft terrain. The AMX-10 RC is equipped with an [[CBRN defense|NBC]] (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical) protection system and may conduct reconnaissance in [[radioactivity|radioactive]] environments.

== AMX-10 RCR modernisation ==
In 2010, Nexter completed the modernisation of 256 AMX-10 RC vehicles to the RCR (''Rénové''; renovated) configuration. This programme integrated various systems and additional armour, active self-protection by [[SAGEM]], LIRE (''Leurre InfRarougE'', infrared flare), the SIT (''Système d'Information Terminal'') V1 battlefield management system, Galix smoke grenade launchers, changes in the [[NBC protection]] and improvements in the suspension. Speed gearboxes and tactical communications were completed with [[Thales Communications]] & Security PR4G VS4. The integration was done by DCMAT (''Direction Centrale du Matériel de l'Armée de Terre'', Land Army Central Matèriel Directorate).<ref>{{cite web | last=Díaz | first=Álvaro | title=Nexter modifica un AMX-10RCR | website=defensa.com | date=18 July 2011 | url=http://www.defensa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4196%3Anexter-modifica-un-amx-10rcr&catid=56%3Aindustria&Itemid=164 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008215510/http://www.defensa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4196%3Anexter-modifica-un-amx-10rcr&catid=56%3Aindustria&Itemid=164 | archive-date=8 October 2011 | url-status=dead | language=es}}</ref>

== Operational history ==
[[File:French AMX-10RC in the desert.JPEG|thumb|French AMX-10 RC reconnaissance vehicles move across the desert as part of a display of Allied armour during [[Operation Desert Shield]]]]
[[File:UA 37 bde AMX-10 RC 01.jpg|thumb|AMX-10 RC of the Ukrainian 37th Marine Brigade, October 2023]]
The French army's AMX-10 RC has been deployed to many theaters of operation since it was introduced, including the [[Gulf War|First Gulf War]], the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–2021)|War in Afghanistan]], in [[Operation Serval|Mali]], Kosovo, and Ivory Coast.

During the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]], the AMX-10 RC saw action in the [[2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive]] in Zaporozhia. First promised in January 2023, they entered Ukrainian service four months later with the [[37th Marine Brigade (Ukraine)|37th Marine Brigade]].<ref name="Kyiv Post">{{cite web |last1=Korshak |first1=Stefan |title=Ukraine’s Counteroffensive, Units to Watch #7 – 37th Marine Brigade |url=https://www.kyivpost.com/post/17218 |website=[[Kyiv Post]] |access-date=10 June 2023 |archive-date=17 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231217003451/https://www.kyivpost.com/post/17218 |url-status=live }}</ref> Ukrainian crews underwent a month of training in France to learn how to operate the vehicle. On 2 July 2023, amid the Ukrainian counteroffensive, it was reported that although they are good for fire support, the lack of a stabiliser for the main gun and their light armour made them unsuitable for [[frontal assault]]s. In one instance, fragments from 152mm artillery shells exploding nearby were able to pierce the armour, causing the stored ammunition to explode, destroying the vehicle and killing the crew of four.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ukrainian commander warns French tanks are inadequate for counteroffensive |url=https://www.euronews.com/2023/07/02/ukrainian-commander-warns-french-tanks-are-inadequate-for-counteroffensive |access-date=2023-07-02 |website=Euronews |date=2 July 2023 |language=en |archive-date=2 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230702225400/https://www.euronews.com/2023/07/02/ukrainian-commander-warns-french-tanks-are-inadequate-for-counteroffensive |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Meadows |first1=Sam |title=French 'tanks' blamed for Ukraine troop deaths |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/07/02/ukraine-russia-war-latest-cia-recruit-spies/ |access-date=3 July 2023 |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=3 July 2023 |archive-date=3 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703090802/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/07/02/ukraine-russia-war-latest-cia-recruit-spies/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

French military experts had warned that the AMX-10 RC was useful in providing fire support and for exploiting gaps in the frontline, but that it was not designed to cope with modern anti-tank weaponry or to be used as a substitute for [[main battle tanks]]. The vehicle can also have problems with its gearbox if used for prolonged periods on hard roads.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ukrainian commander warns French tanks are inadequate for counteroffensive |url=https://www.euronews.com/2023/07/02/ukrainian-commander-warns-french-tanks-are-inadequate-for-counteroffensive |access-date=2023-07-02 |website=Euronews |date=2 July 2023 |language=en |archive-date=2 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230702225400/https://www.euronews.com/2023/07/02/ukrainian-commander-warns-french-tanks-are-inadequate-for-counteroffensive |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Meadows |first1=Sam |title=French 'tanks' blamed for Ukraine troop deaths |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/07/02/ukraine-russia-war-latest-cia-recruit-spies/ |access-date=3 July 2023 |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=3 July 2023}}</ref> One AMX-10 RC was captured by forces of the Russian Federation and displayed in a military exhibit in Moscow on 15 August 2023.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.businessinsider.com/videos-russia-touts-captured-western-weapons-ukraine-theme-park-2023-8|title=VIDEOS: Russia shows off purported war trophies — prized Western weapons captured in Ukraine — at a new military theme park exhibit|date=16 August 2023 |work=Business Insider}}</ref>
