The record

The first cars went to Cyprus with UNFICYP in 1964, and the worsening situation there brought the second purchase. In April 1978 Irish AMLs deployed with UNIFIL in Lebanon, where a reconnaissance company of at least four AML-90s and fourteen Panhard M3s was shipped from Cyprus.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
