Sabre Combat Vehicle Reconnaisance (Tracked)

BACKGROUND

Some 136 Sabre vehicles are in service with the British Army, assigned to Reconnaisance Platoons of Armoured and Mechanised Infantry Battalions. Their duty is to covertly locate and observe enemy units and emplacements. In addition to this they are often required to take out such units, and are armed and equipped to work in the forward area of the battle. Although classified as a reconnaisance vehicle the Sabre can easily double as a light Tank for making hard hitting attacks against non-armoured enemy units.
