VBL: I would trade this for the VX

[wekilled]

Several of you commented on military vehicle pic I took at Camp Bondsteel and posted in my gallery.

It is called a VBL manuf-Panhard (France 1990) : Its a 4 ton class 4x4 armored vehicle , offered in various configurations including infantry carrier, scout, intelligence and EW, liaison, security, command, anti-tank and anti-aircraft roles. Over 2,400 are operational or on order with 15 world armies. The vehicle offers high mobility on land, and has full amphibious capability. (several NATO countries use it. I think in this case the Swedes were using it-who also have the cool M90 camo) here are some better pics without me in front of the vehicle --even the rear looks like an angular interpretation of the VX. I have seen the Germans with ones as well. I never saw them in Iraq but they are doing some service with ISAF in Afghanistan with the French.
