ERC-90D Sagaie

The Panhard ERC (Engin à Roues, Canon; "Wheeled device, cannon") is a French six-wheeled armoured car which is highly mobile and amphibious with an option of being NBC-proof. Two versions of the ERC entered large-scale production: the ERC-90 Lynx and the ERC-90 Sagaie. The main difference between the two versions is the type of turret and 90 mm gun fitted. Sagaie is French for assegai, a type of African spear.

Developed by Panhard in the late 1970s, the vehicle was designed to meet a requirement for a highly mobile, air-transportable armored platform capable of rapid deployment via standard military cargo aircraft. It officially entered service with the French Army in 1984, quickly becoming a cornerstone of France's rapid intervention forces. The vehicle saw extensive combat deployment in various African operations, including missions in Chad, Ivory Coast, and Mali, as well as during the 1991 Gulf War. While currently being phased out of active French service in favor of the modern EBRC Jaguar, it remains a symbol of French expeditionary capability.
