The FV101 Scorpion CVR(T) was widely adopted across Southeast Asia during the late Cold War, serving as a light reconnaissance tank in the armies of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Its appeal lay in being lightweight (8 tonnes), air-portable, and mobile in tropical terrain, though its thin armor limited survivability. Today, most regional operators have relegated Scorpions to training or secondary roles, with some modernized variants still active. --- 🇹🇭 Thailand (Type 21)
