AFV Club AF35320 ROC TIFV CM-32/33 Clouded Leopard

The CM-32 Clouded Leopard is a Taiwanese contemporary wheeled armored personnel carrier. The first prototypes of the car were made in 2002, and its serial production started in 2007. The drive is provided by a single motor Caterpillar C12 with a power of 450 hp. The cart is 7 meters long and 2.7 meters wide. The armament - in the basic version of the car - consists of a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher and a single 7.62 mm Type 74 machine gun. The CM-32 Clouded Leopard was developed in Ordnance Readiness Development Center and Timoney Technology Limited for the Taiwan Armed Forces. The vehicle is capable of transporting up to eight landing troops in full equipment. The armor of the vehicle provides the landing party and crew with protection against small-caliber firearms and smaller artillery fragments. It is worth noting that the bottom of the car's hull has been shaped into the letter V, which increases the resistance of the car to a mine explosion or the so-called. fugasa. The vehicle also has very good off-road properties and amphibious abilities. It is worth adding that on the basis of the CM-32 Clouded Leopard, other vehicles have also been developed that act as an infantry fighting vehicle or a fire support vehicle.
