“To move quickly in areas under enemy fire, the military needs armored vehicles,” he said in an interview with Parisian-Today.
As a result, France will “supply in substantial quantities these vehicles, the VAB (Forward Armored Vehicle), armed”, he added.
VAB is available in about 30 different versions to meet specific needs and adapt to new technology. It is still widely used by the French military and is one of the country’s “iconic” vehicles. The base model is the 4×4 VAB VTT armored personnel carrier, which carries an infantry squadron of 8-10 fully equipped soldiers in a relatively spacious armored hull. Armor protects the crew and disembark from 7.62 mm bullets, shrapnel and anti-personnel mines. This armored personnel carrier can carry a payload of 2,000 kg instead of soldiers.
France has transferred a large amount of military equipment as well as modern CAESAR self-propelled artillery to Ukraine. Since the start of the military offensive launched by Moscow in Ukraine on 24 February, Paris has transferred to Kyiv, in addition to Caesar cannons, Milan anti-tank missiles or even Mistral anti-aircraft missiles.
