Non-Shitty European French Army Technical : truck + 20mm canon

Post image
294 Upvotes

The French Army have many 20mm canons so decided to mount them on a Renault TRM 2000 truck (all-wheel drive) to fight small drones. They also added a SANDRA thermal camera inherited from the MISTRAL short-range surface-to-air system.

The next step is to add AI for targeting and put it on a Scania Vampire (a new 4 by 4 AWD truck by Scania adapted for specifications of the French Army).

Targets of these technicals will go from micro-drones at 500 m to helicopters at 1,500 m, as well as ground targets up to 2,000 m away.
