The Warthog AAV (very much like the AAVC7A1) is a tracked amphibious assault landing vehicle. The vehicle gives you a mobile task force or even command centre in water to shore operations and further inland.
Integrated on the roof are the connection ports that allow the installation of a compatible horizontal launch pad for the Warthog GHLR missile (the Patruan equivalent of a cruise missile). The Warthog is one of the most frequently deployed units of the Patruan army because of its relative independence, its versatility and easy deployment. It has served the Empire well in recent conflicts and is held in very high esteem by the Patruan legionnairs. Do your troopers a favour and get this superb versatile fighting machine!
