BMR-600
Notes: This is a Spanish armored personnel carrier also in service with Egypt Peru, and Saudi Arabia. It shares many components with the VEC armored car (see Spanish Light Armored Vehicles), and 50% of the parts can be interchanged. The driver is on the front left, the commander is directly behind him with a machinegun mount, and there are roof hatches in the passenger compartment as well as a ramp in the rear. There are three firing ports on each side of the passenger compartment, and two in the rear. The vehicle has a winch at the rear with a capacity of 4.5 tons and 50 meters of cable. The vehicle also has run-flat tires and air conditioning.
The BMR-600 Armored Command Vehicle is a variant of the BMR-600 fitted out to a commander's needs. The vehicle is equipped with at least 2 short range, one medium range, and one long range radio, a computer, land navigation equipment, a map board, and a folding table and chairs. The work area can be expanded during halts by a tent as long as the vehicle. The vehicle also has a 5kW generator on the roof to power the equipment when the engine is off. There is a variant of this vehicle, the Radio Communications Vehicle; this carries a small group of technicians and carries at least 6 radios, a radio teletype machine, field telephones, 2000 meters of commo wire, and other such gear to provide enhanced communications capability to command posts and network computers, and carries a 10kW generator. Both retain the machinegun cupola of the basic BMR-600.
The BMR-3560.54 is an armored ambulance version of the BMR-600 armored personnel carrier. In this version, the vehicle carries a refrigerator for perishable medical supplies, a defibrillator, a respirator, at least one doctor's medical bag, one platoon's worth of refills for the personal medical kit, and four stretchers. The vehicle is equipped with air conditioning and heating.
The BMR Upgrade is a BMR-600 armored personnel carrier with a smaller, yet more powerful engine of Swedish make. The new engine requires less maintenance. With the weight saved, the BMR has additional armor installed and a real turret instead of the machinegun cupola. The new engine is also more fuel-efficient.
