The Scimitar is a highly mobile, lightweight, tracked armoured vehicle – which entered service in March of 1974. Initially the role for Scimitar was close reconnaissance and protection around the battlegroup – using its armour protection and RARDEN cannon to counter enemy light reconnaissance vehicles, hold observation positions, and provide fire support for the infantry. Our Scimitar will be in the arena at TANKFEST 2025! https://tankmuseum.org/events/tankfest/ | The Tank Museum
