Al-Fahd

The Al-Fahd is an armoured fighting vehicle used by the Armed Forces of Saudi Arabia.

The vehicle is produced by the Abdallah Al Faris Company for Heavy Industries, which is based in Dammam.

The hydraulic propellers are optional, so not all Al Fahd's are capable of an amphibious operation.

The Al Fahd uses a high-hardness steel alloy to offer protection against 14 mm ammunition on the frontal arc at ranges of 300 m (980 ft) and greater, and 7.62 mm ammunition at ranges of 25 m (82 ft) and greater on the sides and rear of the vehicle.
