In Team Yankee
The VCR/TH is a French wheeled vehicle with a TOW missile launcher that fills the anti NATO armour role in the Iraqi list much like the Soviet Storm.
The VCR/TH’s main weapon is an AT23 FP3+ missile that can only be fired while stationary, and can remain gone to ground even after firing. This means a default 4+ to hit, given the Iraqi 3+ to hit profile.
IRL
The Panhard VCR is a French light APC designed for the export market. The VCR in particular was made per an Iraqi request for a light ATGM carrier, though a basic variant armed with a machinegun is also available. An amphibious variant for Argentina called the "hydrojet" used actual jet propulsion for faster speed in water, whereas most other amphibious vehicles of its class rely on wheels. Most of the original Iraqi VCRs were destroyed in the Gulf War, though some still exist in Mexico, Argentina, and the UAE.
