The Directorate General of Armaments (Direction générale de l’armement: DGA), the French armaments procurement agency, announced on its website on 27 July that it received its last batch of 10 VT4 4×4 Standard 2 tactical vehicles the day before.
This brings the total number of VT4 vehicles delivered to the three armed services, the Operational Energy Service (Service de l’Énergie Opérationnelle), and the Joint Munitions Service (Service Interarmées de Munitions) to 4,380, as foreseen by France’s Military Programming Law (Loi de Programmation Militaire: LPM) 2019–25 under the Multirole Light Tactical Vehicle (Véhicule Léger Tactique Polyvalent: VLTP) programme.
The 3.5 tonne VT4 can carry four personnel equipped with FÉLIN (Fantassin à Équipement et Liaisons Intégrés) soldier systems or five without it. The unarmoured vehicle is designed to rapidly deploy soldiers in all types of terrain on national territory for urgent interventions under the Operation ‘Sentinelle’ internal security mission and overseas operations.
