The French military is currently replacing its old VAB armored personnel carriers, that came into service in 1979, with a new generation of armored vehicles. “This old equipment, still operational, is going directly to Ukraine in large quantities. We’re talking about hundreds in 2024 and early 2025,” Lecornu said.The move comes as the French government is pushing its military industry to boost production to meet Kyiv’s urgent need for ammunition.
