The armour is extremely thin and only serves to protect the vehicle from shell splinters and rifle-calibre machine guns. Anything with a calibre of 12.7 mm and larger will destroy this vehicle.

Armour type:

  • Rolled homogeneous armour
Armour Front (Slope angle) Sides Rear Roof
Hull 8 mm (9°) Lower plate
8 mm (30-68°) Lower glacis 		8 mm
8 mm (34°) Belly junction 		8 mm (37°) 6 mm
Superstructure 8 mm (59-73°) Upper glacis 8 mm (30-34°) 6 mm (7°) Crew compartment
8 mm Ammo rack 		8 mm (17-31°) Engine compartment
6 mm Crew compartment
Missile launcher 6 mm 6 mm 6 mm 6 mm

Notes:

  • Suspension wheels and tracks are 20 mm thick, while torsion bars are 8 mm thick.

Usage in battles

The Ozelot requires discipline to use efficiently. Care must be taken not to fire on enemies flying too close, otherwise the missile will not be able to turn quickly enough to hit the target. The Ozelot should be used in an open environment, as obstacles can interfere with the radar guidance of the missiles, or even get hit by the missiles themselves. Helicopters are this vehicle's main opponent.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Very fast and agile vehicle
  • Small profile and easily hidden
  • Missiles require no guidance after firing
  • Missiles do not require the vehicle to be stopped to fire.
  • Gen 3 thermals for scouting and sighting targets

Cons:

  • No armour
  • Air-to-air missiles can be unreliable
  • Can not defend itself against ground vehicles

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
