Its improved version became one of the most widely exported armored vehicles, used by numerous armies around the world in hundreds of conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan (1979–1989), the Yom Kippur War (1973), wars in the Horn of Africa, and many peacekeeping missions carried out by the African Union.
