S-10 Armored Personnel Carrier
A crew of two operates the vehicle and it does have basic NBC protection. There is not much in the way of optics and no radar. Communication is rather basic as well. The vehicle simply mounts a thermal image system. A maximum of eleven soldiers can be carried and the S-10 has a back hatch for troop egress.
For offense, the S-10 APC carries a turret mounted ADEN 30mm Cannon, while a suitable defense consists of claymore mine launchers on the sides for anti-personal defense. There is also firing ports for the troops carried. Two are fitted on each side with two in the back hatch.

Maximum Range: 430 miles (692.3 km)
Engine Type: Conventional, Diesel / Electric Hybrid developing 300 hp (220.65 kW)
Dimensions
Height: 6.06 feet (1.85 meters) to hull top and 8.27 feet (2.52 meters) overall
Width: 8.81 feet (2.866 meter)
Length: 15.95 feet (4.863 meters)
Weight: 22,046.2 pounds (10,000 kg) empty, 26,455.5 pounds (12,000 kg) combat loaded, and 31,305.6 pounds (14,200 kg) maximum load.
Weapon Systems
1. Main Turret: On the top of the vehicle is a turret which mounts a dual pair of both anti-infantry cannon and a dual automatic grenade launcher. The turret is controlled by a gunner inside of the turret and has the ability to rotate 360 degrees and barrels can angle up to 85 degrees. Weapon mount is mainly designed for use against other vehicles and against infantry but can angle high enough to be useful against aircraft. Both weapons are in a single sleeve and elevate together.
1.OWS-25R - 25mm auto cannon. This weapon is a dual feed armament, and has Peritelescopic combined day / night sight for added offensive capabilities. It's mount allows for low weapon depression angles, and stabilized firing for while on the move.
Muzzle velocity: 1,100 metres per second
Effective range: 3,000 metres
Maximum range: 6,800 metres
Payload: 900 rounds
700 HE rounds ready for use
200 AP rounds ready for use
2. Six (6) HIA APMS "Super Claymore": Two are positioned on either side with two in front. None are in the rear of the vehicle. Mounted on armored plates which prevent the mines from doing damage to the vehicle itself. Derived from the traditional claymore mine, this weapon is extremely effective. It is slightly larger than the original Claymore mine and has 1000 steel balls and is backed by two pounds (0.9 kg) of Semtex. The "Super Claymore" operates in a similar fashion to the original mine and creates a fan of projectiles for a 328 foot (100 meter) cone with a 60 degree arc of danger. Generally the Super Claymore is activated by the crew when it looks like the vehicle will be overrun.
Maximum Effective Range: 820 feet (250 meters)
Front 60-degree horizontal Cone of Mine: 164 foot (50 meter) range
Sides of Mine: 66 foot (20 meter) range
Rate of Fire: Each mine single use only.
Payload: Six Mines.
3. Six (6) Firing Ports (Optional): The S-10 APC has six firing ports that allow soldiers to fire their guns out of the vehicle. There are two firing ports on either side and two on the rear hatch of the vehicle. Firing ports can be closed in order to make vehicle a sealed environment.
4. Smoke/Tear Gas Dispenser (2): Mounted on either side of the tank and launches smoke/tear gas grenades. While other types of grenades can be used, they have been rarely carried. Recently, there has been consideration for the use of prismatic aerosol and decoy grenades to help protect the vehicle against lasers and other weaponry.
Effect: Creates a cloud of smoke 40 ft (12 m) in diameter.
Range: 1,200 feet (365 m)
Payload: Carries 12 smoke grenades per launcher.
Sensory Equipment
* Nightvision Optics: Range: 2,000 ft (609 m). Uses light amplification to make a picture. Emits no light but will not work in absolute darkness. System can be dazzled by sudden bright lights but does not physically blind the pilot.
* Thermo-Imager: Range: 2,000 feet (609 meters). Finds the infra-red radiations of things that are warm. Also enables pilot to see in smoke, shadows and darkness
Safety
* NBC Protection: The Armored vehicle is equipped with protection for the crew from most gas, radiation, and biological attacks. If fitted with firing slits, the slips have plates which can be closed and sealed.
