BEIJING: China is developing the world’s fastest amphibious armoured vehicle that reach a top speed of 50 kilometres per hour when travelling in calm waters.
While there are many amphibious armoured vehicles in the world, most of them move very slowly in the water.The North China Institute of Vehicle Research has built the Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) that can attain a top speed of 50 kilometres per hour on calm waters.
That speed would make the AFV the Fastest Amphibious Military Vehicle in the world.
Even with armour and weapons on a production version, it would still likely reach amphibious speeds of at least 19 to 28 kilometres per hour.
