It is the official designation of the self-propelled cannon on the chassis M3A1. The vehicle was delivered to the Allies during World War II on the basis of Land and Lease agreements. The first machines were created by rebuilding the M3A1 half-track in December 1942, a total of 962 T48 self-propelled guns were produced.

The TPK 420 BL armoured personnel carrier was developed as a private venture by Ateliers de Construction Mécanique de l'Atlantique (ACMAT) and is essentially the well-known VLRA (4 × 4) 2,500 kg long-range reconnaissance vehicle fitted with an armoured body.
The VLRA is used by at least 43 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

The AS-90 (Artillery System for the 1990s), known officially as Gun Equipment 155 mm L131, is an armoured self-propelled artillery used by the British Army.
It can fire standard charges up to 24.7 km (15.3 mi) using 39-calibre long barrel and 30 km (19 mi) with 52-caliber long barrel. The maximum rate of fire is 3 rounds in 10 seconds (burst); 6 per minute for 3 minutes (intense); and 2 per minute for 60 minutes (sustained).

The missions of the system are in front-line armoured brigade defence, permanent or semi-permanent site defence and area defence against air threats, such as fixed-wing aircraft, attack helicopters, cruise missiles, tactical missiles and saturation attacks with stand-off weapons released from aircraft and helicopters.

The Brazilian tank Osorio, which became the first tank designed by the Brazilian arms industry (the main development was led by Engesa Engenheiros Especializados SA), was developed in two versions EE-T1 and EE-T2. The construction of the first prototype was started in 1984. Due to the lack of interest of its own army and due to lack of interest from abroad, serial production did not begin.

The FV432 is the armoured personnel carrier variant in the British Army's FV430 series of armoured fighting vehicles. Since its introduction in the 1960s, it has been the most common variant, being used for transporting infantry on the battlefield. At its peak in the 1980s, almost 2,500 vehicles were in use. Although the FV432 was to have been phased out of service in favour of newer vehicles such as the Warrior and CVR(T), 500 were upgraded to extend their service into the 2020s.

Long-range self-propelled cannon howitzer designed to fight artillery and mortars of the enemy, to silence and destroy the command posts, fire and radio equipment and manpower of the enemy, demolition of permanent defensive structures and field defenses.

The Saxon is an armoured personnel carrier used by the British Army and supplied in small numbers to various overseas organisations. It was developed by GKN Sankey from earlier projects, AT 100 IS and AT104, and was due to be replaced by the Future Rapid Effect System.

Light armored vehicle from Cadillac Cage intended for export to third world countries.

The Type 94 dancer was developed on the basis of the British Carden-Loyd Mark VIB dancer. The development was carried out by the Tokyo Gas company Denki Kokyo (Tokyo Gas and Electric Industry) and the first prototype was completed in 1934. A total of 823 copies were produced, the serial production of which has been running since 1934.

The LVTP-5 (landing vehicle, tracked, personnel 5) is a family of amphibious armored fighting vehicles used by the Philippine Marine Corps and, formerly, the United States Marine Corps. It was designed by the BorgWarner company and built by FMC (Food Machinery Corporation) along with a few other companies. It was first accepted into service in 1956. Some 1,124 basic units were produced, plus the specialist variants, and many saw action in the Vietnam War.

In early September 1997, it was reported that Iran had successfully tested a locally built rapid fire mobile field gun known as Raad-2 (Thunder-2).

It uses a turret that has a similar layout to the M109A1 155mm/39-cal self-propelled howitzer. The Iranian Defense Industries Organization claimed that the 155 mm HM44 howitzer manufactured by the Hadid facility of the Iranian Defense Industries Organization had a high firing rate and accuracy. The gun's range was reported as 30 km (19 mi), and it also includes features such as a laser range-finder and a semi-automatic loading system.

Stormer 30 is a variant of the Stormer family of tracked vehicles and the development was based on proven technology from the Scorpion range of light tanks for operation on any terrain and in any environment. The vehicle is operated by three crew members, a driver, a commander / loader and a gunner.

This variant is one of the most extensive upgrades that have been made to the T-72 series tanks. The initiator and coordinator of the project was PSP BOHEMIA a.s. (Přerov), SAGEM and SFIN cooperated on the fire control system and sensors, the supplier of the modernized chassis and additional armour was the Ukrainian company ChKBM.

The T30 was an American heavy tank developed at the end of World War II. It was supposed to be, like its related tank T29, the American response to the heavy German 70-ton tank Tiger II.

The Type 89, also known as the PLZ89, was developed in late 1980s. It was Chinese attempt to develop indigenous self-propelled howitzer with similar capabilities to the Soviet 2S1 Gvosdika.

Since the late 1970s a number of 122 mm self-propelled howitzers were developed in China to meet Chinese Army requirements. The PLA required mobile artillery system to provide medium- to long-range indirect fire support for motorized infantry and armored troops and capable of keeping pace with them. However none of them could meet these requirements. The Type 89, also known as the PLZ89, was developed in late 1980s. It was Chinese attempt to develop indigenous self-propelled howitzer with similar capabilities to the Soviet 2S1 Gvosdika.

First presented to the public in 1982 and originally conceived as the BDX Mk2, the Vickers Valkyr was a BDX (Timoney Mk V) with a re-designed front hull and refined suspension. It had the same Timoney-designed twin 7.62mm machinegun turret. Later designs had a commanders hatch on the front left and a ring-mount machinegun in place of a turret. There was also a variant with a lowered hull mounting a Cockerill Mk3 90mm gun. The Valkyr was offered to the British Army but the more economical Saxon APC was chosen instead. Despite an intensive marketing effort the only export order secured were two vehicles for Kuwait in 1989.
