General

The YPR-765 pri.50 is an APC based off of the YPR-765 pri. Although no longer in Dutch or Belgian service, the YPR-765 pri.50 is even more popular than its 25mm armed brother and may be found in large numbers with Turkey, Egypt, Malaysia, and Jordan. The very similar indigenous South Korean KIFV can also be simulated using this vehicle.

The YPR-765 pri.50 carries 6 dismounts, equipped with an MG3 and 5.56mm rifles.

(Note: Added with Steel Beasts Professional version 3.002, this vehicle not only serves as an APC, but as replacement for the Dutch YPR-765 prco. To use it in that role, it should either be created as a "CO" or "XO" vehicle, or have its infantry complement removed.)
