This armoured car is not meant to fight anybody armed with a RPG. It is a light reconnaissance vehicle, it's mission in battle is to sneak to the enemy lines and gather informations. It's MG is just for emergency selfdefence, it's primary "weapons" are it's small size, it's speed and it's smoke launchers.
Look at modern Recce cars, like Fennek, VBL etc. They are neither bigger, nor better armoured.

correction;
These are Alvis 90 Scorpion recce. tanks. Not AMX-13's
[quote=Master Chief;2913358]These two AMX-13 have new camo pattern, with more brown color & not dominated by green anymore, whereas Indonesian tropical flora is majority green (of course).
Again, thumbs up for Indonesian army for well maintaining these old track equipment.[/quote]

[quote=DavidDCM;2915275]To render it even more precisely: Only the bottom pic shows a Scorpion, the upper one is a Stormer APC Ambulance version.[/quote]
I have to open one of my bibles to verify this. Yes, you are correct. It's amazing to see this light tanks family: Scorpion, Stormer, Sabre, Scimitar, Spartan, Starstreak & Striker.
