The M-80A
infantry fighting vehicle was revealed in 1984. It is a further
development of the M-80 IFV.
The M-80A
provides armored protection against large-caliber machine guns. It
is fitted with an NBC protection system and automatic fire
suppression system.
This IFV is
armed with Spanish HS-804 20-mm cannon and coaxial 7.62-mm machine
gun. The M-80A is also fitted with twin launcher for the Sagger
anti-tank guided missiles. These missiles are launched from inside
the turret.
Vehicle has
a crew of three and can accommodate 7 fully equipped troops. Troops
enter and leave the vehicle through the rear doors or roof hatches.
Three firing ports are located from each side of the hull and two on
the exit doors.
