Description The IFV-6a Cheetah is a tracked anti-aircraft vehicle used exclusively by NATO forces in ArmA 3. While both the IFV-6c Panther and IFV-6a Cheetah are based on the Israeli armored personnel carrier chassis, they each serve very distinct roles in combat. The Cheetah is a dedicated AA vehicle. The cargo space is taken up by ammunition storage for the vehicle's 35mm autocannons. It is also armed with air-to-air missiles and smoke grenade dischargers.
As with its parent vehicle the Panther, the Cheetah's chassis is based on the real-life "Namer" APC.
Its gun turret is a shared design that is also used by the ZSU-39, which in turn is based on the real-world "Marksman" anti-aircraft gun system.
However, because no anti-aircraft variant of the Namer actually exists, the Cheetah (at least in this configuration) has no direct real-world counterpart.
