French Army formally inducted first Griffon 6×6 multirole armoured vehicles during a ceremony attended by Defence Minister Florence Parly.

The VBMR Griffon is a multi-role armored vehicle that will replace the French Army’s VAB armored personnel carrier.

According to army-technology.com, based on a 6×6 all-terrain truck chassis, the Griffon VBMR features modular architecture with a maximum gross vehicle weight of 24t. It is manned by a crew of two and can accommodate up to eight personnel.




The layout of the armoured vehicle is conventional with engine compartment located in the front section, crew cabin in the middle and troop compartment at the rear.

The French Army’s new multi-role armoured vehicle is equipped with a remote-controlled weapon station armed with a single 12.7mm or 7.62mm MAG 58 heavy machine gun or 40mm automatic grenade launcher.

Optional armament of the vehicle includes FELIN soldier system, 81mm mortar, and MMP medium-range missile.

Designed in accordance with high levels of NATO STANAG standard, the Griffon VBMR offers improved protection over VAB. It can withstand small arms fire, shell splinters, improvised explosive device (IED) and mine blasts.

The accepted of the first Griffon 6×6 VBMR (Véhicule Blindé Multi-Rôles) multirole armoured vehicle is a major milestone in the Scorpion programme’s history.

The new wheeled combat vehicles is one of the key new vehicles of the Scorpion programme, along with the Jaguar and the Serval, which renews the armored range of the French ground force.

@Wilhelm II
It looks kind of like KADDB Faris. It seems Jordanian engineers can make their own vehicles in a similar fashion to mighty French vehicles.

I think the turret on the Faris should be mounted with this turret from Jadara.

Except with a 12.7mm M2 browning and not a 5.56mm.

 

[Wilhelm II]

mighty French vehicles.

I really not sure about that

 

[Philip the Arab]

I really not sure about that

I mean.. France has been making vehicles since the 1940s so they must be very experienced at it.

France make vehicles before ww1
French tanks in ww1 were father of modern tanks and best tank of great war but at this time they are not best
We should be best

The Leclerc is pretty good though...
Waiting on a multi national Arab defense company like Airbus but for land vehicles. KADDB, AOI, SAMI, and EDIC could make this work imho. If they could get solid and confirmed orders I'm sure they could be very succesful in making tanks, tracked, and wheeled vehicles. Agree?

The Belgian army acquired 382 of these vehicles while France plans to acquire 1872 of them (92 of them to be delivered this year) to be all delivered by 2030 to replace the about 2700 VABs currently in service within the French army.

The fleet of Griffons will be completed with over 2000 VBMR-L Serval to be acquired for the French army. (978 delivered before 2030)

I believe the VAB will remain for a long time in the French army's service given the over 30 versions currently in service.

Isn't the 6x6 a huge target for ATGMs? Much more so than the VAB I assume.

Brother, where did you say you live? Is internet rare or expensive there, and you cant watch videos?

 

[Philip the Arab]

Turkmenistan not bad but still I don't want play videos because speed make me angry

We are f*cking up this thread but are you Iranian Arab or some type of other Arab? I also never asked how old you were before?

 

[Philip the Arab]

Turkmenistan internet is very expensive I said good for lower filtering
All Arabs are Arab my family background is from Iraq and I am from Abadan I am 25

I never understood, why are most Iranian Arabs Shia?

 

[Wilhelm II]

I never understood, why are most Iranian Arabs Shia?

They were Sunni but in safavid era king make Shia official in iran

 

[SOHEIL]

I never understood, why are most Iranian Arabs Shia?

What's wrong with that?

 

[Philip the Arab]

What's wrong with that?

Most Arabs countries are Sunni. If Iranian Arabs were Sunni it would be easier for them to relate to other Arabs.
Better hope there is no war with America, this will be the new map. If Yugoslavia can be split than so can Iran.
