General info
Survivability and armour
The UFP and LFP are invulnerable to heavy machine gun fire. However, that's about the most they can stop. The armour in the turret in front of gunner is extremely thin, at just 10 mm angled. It can stop rifle-calibre fire, but heavy machine guns will easily knock the gunner out.
Armour type:
| Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hull | 30 mm (°55) Front glacis 20 mm (°45) Lower glacis |
12.7 mm | 20 mm (°55) Front glacis 25 mm (°45) Lower glacis |
10 mm |
| Turret | 8 - 10 mm Turret front 25 mm Gun mantlet |
10 mm | 10 mm | 10 mm |
Notes:
- Suspension wheels are 10 mm thick, tracks are 15 mm thick

- Slow turret rotation
- Ammunition depletes quickly
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
