MX - 7 Gagamba The MX - 7 Gagamba is one of several vehicles that the Philippine Army evaluated in 2007 for use as an armored escort vehicle ( AEV ) . The MX - 7 is a modified British " Ferret " Mk2 scout car , imported and modified by a Filipino used - metalworking and machining company called Steelcraft . This is the same company that produced such armored vehicle prototypes as the MX - 1 " Kalakian " , and the MX - 8 . The latter was evaluated at the same time as the MX - 7 . Despite being agile and fast , it is vulnerable to local RPG rounds , although it can deflect 7 . 62 millimetre rounds at point - blank range . Features . The MX - 7 has a crew of two . It is designed as a scout and reconnaissance vehicle , armed with a single 7 . 62 mm machine gun in a one - man turret . It is also fitted with six smoke grenade launchers . Steelcraft modifications are listed below : Compared to its primary competitor , the MX - 8 , the MX - 7 is reportedly cheaper . However long - term maintenance costs are expected to be higher since most of its specialized components , estimated at 50 % of the vehicle , are not commercially available in the Philippines . Name . Various online Philippine defense fora have started referring to the vehicle as the " " Gagamba " " , the Tagalog word for " Spider " . This nickname was first mentioned on the Philippine Defense Forces Forum ( PDFF ) . Steelcraft ' s company designation for the vehicle remains " MX - 7 " , while the Philippine Army has yet to choose an official name .

List of active Russian Navy ships This List of current Russian Navy ships presents a picture which can never be fully agreed upon in the absence of greater data availability and a consistent standard for which ships are considered operational or not . The Soviet Navy , and the Russian Navy which inherited its traditions , had a different attitude to operational status than many Western navies . Ships went to sea less , and maintained capability for operations while staying in harbour . The significant changes which followed the collapse of the Soviet Union then complicated the picture enormously . Determining which ships are operational or in refit can be difficult . " Jane ' s Fighting Ships " has noted in recent editions that some ships have little capability , but remain flying an ensign so that crews are entitled to be paid . " Jane ' s Fighting Ships " online edition , dated 8 March 2010 , added " There are large numbers of most classes ' in reserve ' , and flying an ensign so that skeleton crews may still be paid . [ Their listing reflected ] only those units assessed as having some realistic operational capability or some prospect of returning to service after refit . "
