IAV 2020: Texelis' involvement in new Nexter Serval® 4x4 combat vehicle 

Why did your gov kill aviation industry back in 1960s? And if they was going to kill plane production, why did uk gov build 3 different V bombers? Hope u dont mind sharing. Thank you

@@jasons44 I don't know why, they see a World in numbers and they don't want to invest, they just want the cheapest. The whole Western World is suffering from this now with covid 19. We have no capacity to supply basic kit for essential need.

It's so frustrating. The scorpion program looks extremely slick in terms of its capability, deployability and versatility. The UK governmemt has messed about for 30 years on programs, constantly changing requirements. Fox hound looks like a better underlying design than this vehicle but UK over specified on the exotic armour making it to expensive for mass production. So fking stupid when they need to replace thousands of snatch land rovers.

yes it was

Just try to learn. learning a foreign language train your brain. It's like fixing your muscles! HaV FUN AND GET SMARTER EVER DAY.

No it is for the coal engine.

The freaking crazy man

You need something to bake your daily bread and croissant 😉

Et ce n'est pas que l'armée qui souffre des coupes budgétaires mais des PME qui participe à la modernisation ainsi que des entreprises clés comme Thales, Arquus et même Renault qui doit développer des moteurs plus puissant pour rattraper les Allemands.

Perhaps English is not his first language?

@@bertnl530It does not change the problem.

@HAYAO LEONE long live Margrethe II

@@Sofus. No, but I feel everybody who have to speak another language has it. I have it. Don't knwo what your native language is and how many other languages you speak.

@@bertnl530 I am Danish so it is normal to be multilingual for me, but I am not a PR person.

For the same reasons the yanks try hard to avoid buying foreign. Even if that is not enough reason, there's the concerns of the custom specifications set for the JLTV by the US Army fails to match the doctrines & needs of every Army on Earth.

Not comparable The Serval is a mini APC, it can carry 8 to 10 troops, weights 2x as much as JLTV and offers more protection (NBC, Stanag 4). France is in process of selecting VBAE which is equivalent size/weight category of JLTV. So far, 2 being considered are the Thales Hawkei and the Arquus Scarabe. JLTV offers nothing better than competition and it is a maintenance nightmare, headache compared to Humvee it replaced. Does the US make better quality vehicles than Europe? Even the UK is reconsidering their JLTV order since prices are spiralling out of control. Finally why should France buy US? does US buy French military equipment? When Pentagon selected A330 MRTT air refueling tanker politicians intervened and imposed Boeing KC46 which is still riddled with problems, delays and cost overruns

Do you buy your vital needs to an adversary? That would be suicide.
