Abstract

The Lynx fighting vehicle offers outstanding passive armour protection in its class, while its advanced drivetrain means it is also highly
manoeuvrable. In this article, we will show how Lynx armament enables it to effectively support firing squadrons in all conditions, and what other protection systems contribute to the survivability of the vehicle and its occupants.
