About three days ago the commander of the French forces in Saudi
Arabia held a press conference.  During the question period,
one journalist asked about the preformance of the AMX10RC 
in sandy conditions.  My question is, is the AMX10RC likely to
preform badly in the desert because it is a wheeled vehicle
compare with say a tracked vehicle the AMX30.  Also how effective
is the AMX10RC 105mm gun ?

Cheers Anthony
