YZR-106 Maisanta (fire support vehicle)
Dear Sirs,
Venezuelan Major General Domingo Hernández Lárez introduced on Twitter the successful conversion of a light tank into a fire support vehicle. The AMX-13 chassis was mounted tower tower from the rocket launcher LAR-160, which received six BzK M40A1 and one HB machine gun.
Military commentators point out that the Venezuelans were inspired by the North American self-propelled M50 Ontos during the construction of the YZR-106 Maisanta. Compared to the American model, this machine is equipped with better armor, higher mobility, modern observation means and a fire control system. The disadvantage of this weapon is the small supply of ammunition carried and unprotected operators during manual reloading.


Basic technical data:
- combat weight: ~ 15000 kg
- length: 4880 mm
- width: 2510 mm
- height: not given
- clear height: 370 mm


Armament:

- number of ammunition carried for M40A1: ~ 10 rounds
- effective range M40A1: 1350 m

The combat name of the vehicle is derived from the nickname of the Venezuelan rebel Pedro Rafael Pérez Delgado.
