The prototype of the LAV-300 vehicle was developed in the USA in the 1970s by Cadillac Gage, with production starting in 1979. The LAV-300 has been used mainly by the Philippines, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, and several Middle Eastern countries. This vehicle played a significant role in counter-insurgency operations as well as reconnaissance and patrol missions in modern times. The LAV-300, equipped with a turret featuring a Belgian Cockerill 90mm gun, combined high mobility with effective firepower, making it a versatile support vehicle for infantry and an excellent patrol car.
