The Fiat 665NM protetto (protected) or scudato (shielded) was a wheeled armoured personnel carrier, produced in Italy and employed during World War II by the Royal Italian Army, the National Republican Army and the Wehrmacht.

The vehicle was developed in 1942 at the Arsenale Regio Esercito di Torino in collaboration with Fiat Veicoli Industriali following the request of the Military Staff for a troop carrier to be issued to the armoured division on the African front.

[3] The vehicle, although only resistant to small arms fire, proved satisfactory for police functions in the occupied territories.

The mechanics remained unchanged, while the modifications involve armor with steel plates 7.5 mm thick, which ensured protection against small arms fire.

Besides the individual weapons of the infantry which could be fired through the slits, generally every vehicle was equipped with a Breda Mod.
