Recall that France gave us VAB armored personnel carriers. It is not known how many VABs were provided to AFU. The VAB was produced in the mid-70s by Renault and Saviem. Usually the VAB is equipped with a 12.7 mm or 7.62 mm machine gun mounted on the roof. Sometimes the vehicle can be equipped with automatic cannons. The APC can reach speeds of up to 110 km/h. It has mine protection and is designed to quickly move units on the battlefield. Inside the fighting vehicle accommodates 11 people.
