The New French Armoured Infantry Vehicle: The VBCI

[eujnfnnasdni]

Can France please start a war in Europe I wanna see these machines work against worthy opponents rather then sand people!!

[XBotticelli]

Protection : chassis en V + STANAG 4 + cage anti-RPG

Armement : un canon de 137 x 25 mm et une mitrailleuse de 7,62 + des lanceurs de fumigènes .

il embarque 11 hommes et leurs matériels et a une autonomie de 750 Km

[Vinger55]

Je pèse le pour et le contre (mes suppositions)

Pour = Véhicule rapide / Véhicule a roues ( A mon avis l'armée française modernise son parc blindé en remplaçant ses véhicules militaires a chenilles par des véhicules à roues. (Caesar et VBCI )

Il faut un véhicule comme ça en coordination avec les chars comme on voir sur la vidéo.

Contre = Silouhette trop haute/ Devraient protéger les roues avec de jupes de blindages / Un armenment plus diversifié que le canon de 20 (Milan,canon de DCA)

[druisten3]

@Vinger55

un canon CTA 40 ??

[eikkkN]

@Vinger55 C'est un canon de 25...

[meskinboyuno]

godamn them french fries are steppin up to the plate

[1981Badfish]

Alors ça, ça vaut le détour : tu mets une vidéo sur le VBCI, et les commentaires tournent en débat sur l'histoire d'Angleterre. Tu pourrais mettre un truc sur l'AUF1, je voudrais parler de la Chine à travers les âges...

[gosciu555]

Looks dangerously like a large version of the m114.

[XDiogene]

It's not the VBCI at all!

[mrtonn1991]

dont want to sit in back of that when it goes off road

[ATEAMZZZZ90786987645]

imagin if europe had 1 army....we could conquer the world....MUAHHAHAHAHA

[clustergarde]

the french have good weapon systems.

[MadMac2236]

You obviously have NO IDEA about UK internal politics, so why don't you stop making a fool of yourself?! And yes, I wrote that! What of it? The French are famous for their rudeness, especially to any nation that tells the truth about their supposed military ability! I never said the French are cowards, in fact some of your soldiers have proven themselves to be very courageous, but what good is that when your leaders are bigger idiots than the population of the local asylum?

[BFOP15]

I have a little idea of what the average scot think of UK... As I made a few walks across highland (From Inverness to the eastern coast) also in the Island of SKYE and I spent few weeks in Edimburgh and Glasgow....

The term "White settlers" was often used by Scots to speak of the English buying houses in the Highlands.

The Scots often complained about this and accused the English of increasing the prices, preventing Scots to buy home .

SNP is independantist and the first party in Scotland.

[BFOP15]

About our "leader" of course they are pieces of shit.... But still better than Tony Blair (Bush's puppet) or even Gordon Brown Whom I think the majority of the British are not very proud of...According to your last election...;)

Your phrase obviously meaned that French are the 1st to run.(= coward)

You don't want French to be rude with you?

A piece of advice, avoid french vid....You won't have to deal wit this horrible people.

[MadMac2236]

Scots, who are white incidentally, complaining about other white people settling in their lands? What part of that sounds like bullshit?! You're right, you have no idea about internal UK politics, and that is obvious by your words! In all my life I have never heard of Scots using colour to complain about the English, but I assume you can prove what you have said, or you wouldn't say it, would you?! So you walked across the Highlands, want a medal?You know nothing of value, and you say even less!

[BFOP15]

You know what ? you want me to proove my statements? ok I give you a key you just have to google "white settlers scotland" and you will find a load of links about this.

You'll just have to read and learn....

After this, guess who will appear an idiot?

It appears that I kow better about UK internal affair than you.

[MadMac2236]

You have picked up on ONE reference by the Daily Telegraph, an English news paper, that uses the term 'White Settlers'. I found after more than 30 minutes of looking at various websites, no other reference to the 'white settlers' phrase regarding England/Scotland! This is your proof? You have only proven that the English media has made statements not sanctioned in Scotland, and are therefore worthless to everyone but the publisher! Now who's the idiot? Get lost and get something reliable!

[BFOP15]

Are you laughing?

Only one reference?

Learn to use Google....

You know I can't send links within the commentary.

I'm going to send you a message with some links .... You must use the Chinese version of google....lol.

I didn't find this expression in GOOGLE but it was scottish people who spoke me of the White settlers.

[BFOP15]

"Scots, who are white incidentally, complaining about other white people settling in their lands? What part of that sounds like bullshit?!"

I think this is the part that sounds like bullshit.

lol.

"White settler :Incomer from outside Scotland who 'settles' in mainland Scotland. (Often perceived as a derogatory term). As in 'See Edimbra, it's ower run wi White Settlers'."

from The Scottish Vernacular dictionary.

You should learn a little expression of your place.

[MadMac2236]

I checked out the majority of the links you sent, and the most common theme was how Scots, mainly Highlanders, used the term 'White Settlers' as a joke to describe the influx of English settling in the Lowlands, or the Central Belt as it is more commonly called! It is not a term that has been used in a very long time, in any sense, and the BBC is very unreliable with regards to it's attitudes to Scotland. However, you are right, the term WAS used in the past, but not any more!

[MadMac2236]

I also find it most disturbing that you claim we were colonised! Scotland is one of the few nations in Europe that has never been successfully and completely conquered, colonised or otherwise taken over by any hostile force! You go on about settlers in Scotland, but you fail to mention the actual historic/political ways this happened! The vast majority were protestants supporting the then king of England, while the Highlanders were Catholic, hence the Jacobite uprisings!

[MadMac2236]

If you look properly into current Scottish politics, you will see that the SNP are not the big representative of Scotland as they claim to be, in fact, they are becoming something of a joke! Get called names like 'Sasanach', which essentially means Southern Scum, or words to that effect! In the modern age, many Scots have moved to England, and the flow of English to Scotland is not even a trickle! Most people want to be part of the union, something you have failed to pick up on!

[MadMac2236]

In Braveheart the king said he would breed the Scots out of existance; that was what the English were trying to do after the mass Highland clearances, when many Scots went to America! Most of the references you provided talked about 'Kipling' and his idea of Imperialism, empire etc. That seemed to be the theme I picked up on with regards to the flow of English to Scotland! They used the term 'White Settlers' as a joke regarding the fact that the 'Britain' was colonizing so many non-white lands!

[BFOP15]

I didn' say the contrary...However, of course "White settler" is a joke and refered to the UK colonial empire nonetheless it shows feelings of many Scots in the Highlands.

I spent nearly one month in Edimburgh in July 1994 and I didn't hear the term "White settlers"

When I went back to Scotland in the Highlands and in Skye for a 10 days trip in 2008, I often hear them speaking of White settlers.

[BFOP15]

About Jacobites, many of them found asylum in France. They were very popular in France as the most loved of all the families that have reigned in England was the House of Stuart. It was under their Reign that the relationship between Kingdom of France and Kingdom of England was the best.

More, Charles Stuart is one of the Hero of the French novelist Alexandre Dumas (The Three Muskeeters) in one of his book.

[MadMac2236]

The House Stuart never had power in England, they were a Scottish royal family. The English king was Dutch I believe. However, Prince Charles Stuart was a fool who relied upon the then French monarchy to support him, which they didn't (300 men did follow him), and the loyalty of the clans to support his cause, which only half did! The Jacobite revolt split Scotland down the middle! The feelings you describe are from the last century or before, such feelings are very rare now!

[BFOP15]

Sorry, the House of Stuart were Kings of England.

They were king of Scotland first then became Kings of England after the Fall of the Tudor House.

The Stuart were 1st chased from their Thrones(Scottish English and Irish) by the Revolution of Cromwell in 1648

Then they get back to power and were definitely chased by the Glorious revolution of 1689 (By William of Orange)

Their partisan (jacobite from Scotland, Ireland and some English) tryed to get them back in power but failed.

[BFOP15]

You really need to check your UK History....;)

Of course it's quite hard to find some Jacobites today, and I didn't say the people I met where Jacobites.

But the way they spoke of the "White settler" can be seen (In my point of view of Filthy French of course lol) as an old remain of that era.

[DonMeaker]

@MadMac2236 Ask yourself, What was the family name of Charles I, Charles II, James I, James II? Then get back to us. Charles III or Bonnie Prince Charles ended up as the King Over The Water, as an embittered old man with a brilliant future behind him. the last of that line ended up accepting a small pension to abdicate his claims to English and Scottish thrones.

[MadMac2236]

And for the last time, I have never referred to the French as Cowards! However, if that is your interpretation, then that's your problem! I watched this vid to see what piece of junk the French military were boasting about now, and I'm not impressed! And yes, we think Blair and Brown are a pair of idiots, they'd get on well with the likes of you! The French aren't horrible, but they do have a tendency to look down at others as though are superior!

[BFOP15]

from Inverness to western coast .... you should read....

[titiboo90]

I like people like you, because you show that you're very foolish and you say that because you can't stand the truth.

[Brainless78]

Obvously your grey cells have 8 reverse speed. At the age of 48, that's amazing to see that people can still be this immature.

[titiboo90]

oh the big baby is back ! and he is angry !! ^^

[CelticGlazik]

poor little idiot

[BFOP15]

Yes but only for US export, as Yankees are specialists for quick withdrawals...

[MadMac2236]

I'm sorry; the French are commenting on others ability to run?? That's rich coming from you lot!

[BFOP15]

Please remember me the great achievement of US army ?

Except WW2 which major war US fought?

None.

Participation of US in WW1 was a joke (first fights in september 1918, german defeat november 1918)

In all the other war you were defeated (Korea, Viet Nam, Cuba, Somalia) despite spending more than 50% of the world budget in your army.

We are fighting for more than 1500 years now

USA is hardly 200 years old .

What will remain of your country in 1300 years?

Surely nothing.

[BFOP15]

Another thing , about WW2, US and all the allies (including 500 000 free frenchs you often forget it)

fought only 20% of the Whermacht, and it took you nearly 1 year to defeat them.

At the battle of the Bulge US army was nearly defeated by only 250 000 exhaustedgermans.

In 1940 when the german made the same plan (offensive through Ardennes forest) they were 2 millions. Little difference in number isn't it?

No US is the last country to give any lesson to France in terms of military.

[BFOP15]

And yes USA is the specialist of quick withdrawal,

You go to countries where you unleash war, then you realise you will never win and you leave.

Some examples ?North Korea 1954, Viet Nam 1971and 1975, Somalia, Irak (nowadays), Afghanistan is coming soon.

This is the difference between you and us, a war it's something you must win or loose.

Build your country an History and , maybe, one day, you could comment older nations history.

[MadMac2236]

As I'm not an American, your words are wasted on me! I'm from Scotland, and our history is as rich and diverse as yours! And please note the French were in Vietnam (before the US), nations in Africa and Afghanistan!

[BFOP15]

The french were not only in Vietnam but in Indochina... (VN, Cambodge, Laos) with 5 times less troops and fought 9 years, the US were kicked in 6 years from only South VN ...

Scotland the place colonised by the English?

I think you must be some kind of lowlander more English than Scottish....

Continue to welcome the "White settlers" of Scotland and have a good day.

[MadMac2236]

Typical French rudeness! And you wonder why we Brits look at you the way we do?! For starters, Scotland has never been colonised by anyone, let alone the English, secondly, look at my name on my profile; Macleod, a highland clan! So keep thinking, maybe one day you'll get it right, but not today!

[BFOP15]

"Typical french rudeness"????

Who wrote "The french are commenting on others ability to run that's rich coming from you"

Of course this phrase is not rude, it simply imply that French are cowards, but coming from you it's not rude?

"Wonder why we brits" lol... Mc leod... As a scot you should know that many Scots from highlands are calling English the "White settler" ...so much for the british pride of the Scots. SNP rules....lol

[dd452]

No, it's not used in Iraq.

[s0undActivist]

do you come standard with a brain ?

[druisteen2]

@kel12176

it's 70 years old AGO that france have lost WW2

do you know BLIZKRIEG ,, germany was conquered more country before

and all of this country have run away , the english the first at dunkirk

now please go away

[BTR74]

Is the VBCI intended to be bought instead of the Boxer MRAV or as a supplement?

[titiboo90]

it's not a supplement but it replace the former vehicles.

[titiboo90]

sache que une armée ne conçoit pas des blindés forcément les meilleurs elle conçoit des blindés qui puissent répondre a ses exigences et a une tactique et une doctrine définie, il ne suffit pas d'avoir le meilleur blindage pour gagner...

[95predator]

haha puma bombs you all away, but anyways good vehicle dear franzosés :D

comparez au gtk boxer, meilleur protegé

[titiboo90]

you're rong but it's your opinion...

[95predator]

yes I'm very RONG :D

hey tu as comparé?

le boxer est meilleur protegé mais pas assez armé comme le vbci.

mais tu dois admettre que le puma est meilleur de toute facon!

[druisteen2]

@95predator

learn french language

please

[CypreSSiegFrieD]

VBCI du 35ème RI à Belfort ?

[titiboo90]

exactement ils sont en dotation a ce moment même et devraient partir au Liban d'ici la fin de l'année, en plus ils ont construit un énorme bâtiment uniquement dédié aux VBCI il est visible depuis la route.

[titiboo90]

Ps : le BTR 80 est un véhicule hors d'age donc...

[makiavel]

Inspired by Bradley and Stryker VCI... I'm french and i don't have an idea of which is able to do, but if this AIV as good as (or better than) a Bradley or a BTR-80, why not : is good to us !

[titiboo90]

rien avoir avec le stryker et encore moins le bradley ...le projet de nouveau VCI a 20 ans donc niveau copie il faut chercher, ce véhicule aurait du sortir plus tot mais a subi des modifications quant a son blindage etc ...

de plus c'est le seul véhicule existant capable d'intégrer le fantassin du futur Felin il a été conçu de concert avec FELIN il sert aussi de relais de données entre le fantassin et le commandement et aussi de recharge du système du fantassin.

[titiboo90]

yess of cours ! And I hope your ass is missilproof ...

=))

[Brainless78]

Any times you think amis are done with that "joke", they will put it again on another video about anything french.

Dude, are you really 48 years old? Cos' being that old and still saying that kind of crap really puzzles me.

[BigDaddyBongos]

No one kicked the tires? :)

It looks like legs would get in each others way when two soldiers sit across from each other.

[s0undActivist]

ptin il etait temps qu'il arrive le vbci... les amx10 ils partent en morceaux depuis un bon moment deja.

[MokomaSusi]

VBCI is nice looking vehicle.

[titiboo90]

exactement

[gardlapech]
