USAF Armoured Patrol Car XM706E-2

Proudly produced in Ukraine

The XM706E2, was supplied to the U.S. Air Force for base protection purposes, post-attack reconnaissance against munitions and "Bomb disposal" EOD use. The XM706E2 featured no turret and an open-topped center parapet. In practice a variety of weapons were mounted on USAF XM706E2s, but the most common configuration was one M2HB machine gun and one M60 machine gun. Other equipment included the XM174_grenade_launcher", XM174 40 mm grenade launcher and searchlights.

The 3rd Security Police Group of the United States Air Force at Clark Air Force Base, Republic of the Philippines was still operating the "Duck" as a Fire-Team vehicle until it received M1026 HMMWV's in the fall of 1988. The vehicles were then semi-retired, and occasionally used as "steel bunkers" at the gates, because of the difficulty in keeping the 20-year-old vehicles running.
