MLVM () is a Romanian armoured personnel carrier. The vehicle was designed and used as an infantry fighting vehicle for the vânători de munte (mountain units) of the Romanian Land Forces, though technically it is a tracked armoured personnel carrier according to UN classification because of its light armor and armament.
== Description == The vehicle was designed and used as an infantry fighting vehicle for the vânători de munte (mountain units). The hull is inspired from SU-76 tank destroyer but is substantially modified for rough terrain. The turret is the same as that installed on the Romanian TAB-71M (8 × 8) APC. This turret is recognisable by the large day sight mounted on the left side, which is provided with a protective cage.. The vehicle has been designed specifically to be used in mountainous areas.
