RAM MK3 (RAM 2000) is a light armored vehicle designed by IAI RAMTA. It is based on a 4×4 wheeled monocoque chassis.
The vehicle was also listed for sale under Mahindra Defense Systems [2] with plans to make the RAM MK3 under license for a future Indian military contract. [3]
The RAM Mk 3 was used in Chadian and Senegalese military operations. [4] Chadian RAM Mk3s were used during the Chadian Civil War that ended in 2010 [5] and during the 2013 Chadian intervention in Mali War. [6]
Senegalese RAM Mk3s were deployed with UNOCI in Ivory Coast. [1]
The RAM Mk3 AT is equipped with 4-8 LAHAT laser guided anti-tank missiles. Unlike other armored vehicles, which have the engine at the front or under the protected cabin, RAM places the entire power-pack – engine, automatic transmission and transfer cases at the rear. [7] [8]
