The VBCI is capable of moving at 100km/h with a payload of 30t and a crew strength of 11.
French forces serving in Afghanistan are expected to receive the VBCI combat vehicles ordered by the Defence Ministry.
France launched the VBCI programme in 2000 to replace the army’s AMX-10P fighting vehicles and invested €2.86bn to develop the whole VBCI programme.
