A video of a French VAB armored personnel carrier in the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has appeared on the Internet. The video was published by military analyst @Militarylandnet. Ukrainian defenders now use such APCs during counterattacks.

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.
