The World's 9 Most Successful Amphibious Armored Vehicles - #3 Will Surprise You

6. Piranha III C Amphibious

The height of wheeled amphibious vehicle development is embodied in the Piranha III C, Swiss-designed. At speeds of 100km/h on roads and 10km/h in water, this 8x8 vehicle achieves great road mobility combined with amphibious capability. Its modular architecture lets one create several configurations ranging from fire support vehicle to personnel transport.

The vehicle has full amphibious capability, but its success comes from its advanced protection systems—including NBC protection and add-on armour options. Its efficiency in contemporary military operations is shown by its general acceptance among NATO members.
