Juste for help :
VBCI use the same composite modular armor as the Leclerc MBT (titanium, hardened steel and various other classified compound of course).The armor is evolutive and can be adapted to the threat.
The vehicle weigth 18 tons, 28 tons it's with the full load capacity (lot of stuff).
Maybe a LIC (Low Intensity Conflict) and a full scale battle could be a solution to your problem
