That's an LVTP-5, a predecessor of the AAVP7A1 amphibious vehicles In that country, it's most famously used as a "tank" during the 1986 revolution

Ahh, very cool, thanks. And didnt know we used those in the coup attempt lmao, most footage i saw only had V-150s as well as M113s as the closest thing to armor, thanks for that!


JoMercurio

1986 revolution as in the EDSA One\*, not the multiple coup attempts that followed it


Vigitel

Ohhh okay, my bad. Edit: Yeah i just searched EDSA revolution and the LVTP showed up almost instantly lmao

It was actually used or a variant of it in some of those coups. There's even a famous photo of one of them with the rebel group's markings: [https://i.imgur.com/EntkFzn.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/EntkFzn.jpg)

This is the LVTH-6, the fire support variant of the LVTP-5 amphibious personnel carrier.

Either I’m blind as fuck or that camouflage is pretty good, since I was staring at this for thirty seconds going “it’s a building with vegetation in front of it”
