According to the blog information bmpd, Internet portal defensebelgium.wordpress.com reported that on June 22 the government of Belgium approved the purchase of new for the benefit of the Belgian armed forces 60 french armored vehicles EBRC Jaguar and 417 armored VBMR Griffon with 6x6 wheel formula, created in the framework of the French program Scorpion.

Jaguar

Financing of deliveries is assumed in the amount of 1,1 billion euros. Shipment of equipment is expected in 2025-2030 years.

Jaguar armored vehicles with 40-mm cannon and anti-tank systems are designed to replace the Pandur I wheeled armored personnel carriers (59 vehicles in the Belgian Armed Forces), which mainly play a reconnaissance role. Griffon must replace the Piranha IIIC BTR (268 units) and Dingo 2 armored vehicles (218 units).

Griffon

In the case of a deal, Belgium will become the first foreign customer for Jaguar and Griffon cars.

During the 2018-2031 period, the French army plans to purchase the 1668 Griffon armored vehicles (to replace the VAB armored vehicle fleet) and the Jaguar 248 armored vehicles (to replace the AMX-10RC and ERC-90S armored vehicles).

Well, the Arabs, the unarmed will go to drive ...))) Although after the Russians they are not afraid of anything ..

Are you going to chase ..? Like a little child, chatting empty ... I read you, CALL.

[siberalt]

But what is French like Iskander or Sarmat, which would be easier to translate into Russian?

Attenzyon! (Attention!) To us - Scribe!

Just the French are the only ones who attended to a coherent concept. “Scorpio” is not only these two cars, it is also a tank, a self-propelled mortar, a self-propelled howitzer and reconnaissance. UAV. Consolidated into a single system. Plus infantry with eagle owls

Duriki! Take off the tower, and it will go with a bang from our taiga. By 30 thousand. Wooden.

Fashion ostalopskaya -make high armored fashion !!!

They have a love for "Heliks", yet a glamorous kenguryatnik is not enough ....

Jaguar with a 40 mm gun and anti-tank systems

The gun, as I understand it, will certainly be with programmable shells. But what kind of ATGM?
I would (be my will ) chose "Spike NLOS", it has a range of 25 km, many threats can be eliminated in advance without entering into a direct collision with MBT, but for infantry a "life-giving rain" from shrapnel.
Well, KAZ like “Windbreakers” (where without it), in order to deject all users of TOW and other Kornetov-Fagotov.

Why so far? They have an MMP with a range of 10 km. Unified missile components and assemblies with infantry portable version

A lot - not a little.

They have an MMP with a range of 10 km. Unified by components and assemblies of the rocket

Even better, the main thing is that the ATGM range was greater than the MBT shot range.

Coffin on wheels. Now even the Papuans have an RPG. Why is this a miracle?

[xetai9977]

Based on your comment, then no one should buy an armored personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicle, they say. "coffin". But they also need to be selected .. If armored vehicles are bought and produced at an ever-increasing pace, then they cope with the tasks to the fullest

[Kenxnumx]

Maybe you're right. Which is incomprehensible to me. The distribution of RPG among the people makes lightly armored vehicles with coffins. And they are buying it. Maybe because they’re not going to fight. And if they are at war, they prefer to ride on armor.

[Normal ok]

Good cars.

[rruvim]

What are they doing with BBM? Already not combat vehicles but Servers on wheels. The sensors will be set like garlands on the Christmas tree ... How will they fight? Standing in shelter?

[sedoj]

Actually, the "Jaguar" on the pages of VO has already been discussed. Once again about it:


and about Griffon:

[Graz]

piranha is like a Swiss development originally pandur Austrians did something with someone, the reliability of the units should be at the level, but as for the French technology, which they want to replace very big doubts
