French government has selected the latest version of the BAE Systems BvS10 MkII Viking all-terrain tracked vehicle to equip its rapid intervention combined-arms battle group. The BvS10 MkII is produced by the company's Swedish based Hägglunds AB subsidiary. France is already operating a lighter version of the Small Unit Support Vehicle BvS 206S optimized for in mountainous areas, over snow, bog land and over wet terrain. link |

Seems like everyone is getting some variant of that machine. The USMC has the BVS206 in Norway. Wyatt |

I assumed this had jumped from the Dark Ages board, and should've read "Vikings Aquire France"…. |

Reminds me of a Schneider tank. Guess the French are going back to their roots. |
