French Avant Blinde APC

The Véhicule de l’Avant Blindé, usually abbreviated VAB, was a French wheeled armored-vehicle family introduced during the Cold War. Its protected hull supported personnel transport and numerous specialized roles, with four-wheel and six-wheel configurations associated with different users and versions. VAB abbreviates Véhicule de l’Avant Blindé, the French designation associated with this widely used wheeled armored personnel-carrier family and its many specialized versions. VAB vehicles served widely with France and export operators, but a specific ambulance, command, anti-tank, or troop-carrying fit requires identification rather than assuming identical equipment across the range. The VAB’s operational longevity led to numerous field adaptations and national changes. Its simple family designation therefore identifies ancestry more reliably than it defines a single set of weapons or sensors.
