UPDATE: French JAGUAR
Status: French Army has just begun their evaluation of the
JAGUAR. The evaluation is being conducted by
STAT (
Section
Technique de l’
Armée de Terre,
Technical Section of the Ground Force).
Analysis: It appears the "
manufacturers" testing is now complete or winding down. No further timeline is given. I'm thinking this phase will last about a year. At the end of this it'll go back to
NEXTER to make any
fixes or
modifications the French Army identifies.
At that point we can discuss
IOC-MAYBE. I don't believe it's intended to reach
FOC much before
mid-2023 or
first half of 2024.
The pictures are worth the "
price of admission" especially the first inside turret view and the "
slat armor" which makes me wonder, is the armor protection not as good as thought!?! These are the first pictures I've seen of the
JAGUAR running around with that attached.
