Taking a (closer) look at the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment's (1 REC) JAGUAR (EngSubAd).

The armored reconnaissance and combat vehicle (EBRC), known as the Jaguar, is part of the Scorpion program, on which initial work began in 2014.
The development of the EBRC Jaguar has been carried out since 2015 by industrialists Nexter (in charge of the vehicle body), Arquus (for the engine) and Thales (for connectivity). In 2018, three years after the launch of the operation, the first prototypes were ready.
Destined to gradually replace the ʺancient generationʺ armored vehicles, the Jaguar benefits from innovative technologies in terms of vetronics equipment (onboard electronics), sensors or firepower (medium-range missile, MMP).
The first to benefit were the legionnaires of the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment (1er REC), in 2022. An elementary unit is said to be completely ʺscorpionizedʺ when all of these soldiers are trained. Vehicles are not delivered to the units until then.
By 2030, 300 Jaguars will be delivered, and by 2022, 18 are expected.
Focus - the Scorpion program
In the capability domain, thanks to increasing resources, the Army is engaged in a major renewal of its air-land combat capabilities and in a real "networking revolution" to guarantee its operational superiority against an adversary on an equal footing.
Scorpion represents the major capability challenge for the Army for the next ten years. It represents a major evolution that will transform the way the Army operates and make it capable of the toughest engagements.

Looks like it will be a pretty potent machine.
That 40mm cannon will shred through just about anything but it will probably increase the cost of training by a fair bit and also decrease the ammunition that can be carried into combat. The Akeron missile gives it a fighting chance against tanks so that's pretty cool.
Only 6 wheels makes it vulnerable to mobility disablement, being completely automated also makes it more prone to being disabled, a lack of aquatic capability is also a negative.

Hi Wolfstan, I see that you know your military vehicles.

@@French4ForeignLegionnaires No he doesn't,
Aquatic mobility, it is useless, never been used, and even if you could get fluvial mobility, you could not navigated on large river. So no point in gaining weight.
The 40mm will no required more training than a 105mm, and to the contrary you can increase the amount of ammunition.
No 6 wheels, does not make vulnerable to disablement..... You can still drive with 4 wheels at least. Plus the objective is to have a light fast wheeled tank, not a vbci....
Being automated and being disabled... You know, it is not watchdogs.... First the electronic is protected with NRBC et URTE and all the system can be used mechanically...

Je ne connaissais pas mais l'arrivée des munitions télescopées de 40mm doivent être une belle avancée. J'espère qu'elles ont la même balistique que les munitions traditionnelles.

Looks like a very capable vehicle. I wonder if the gun and its ammo is proprietary, or if its interchangeable with bushmaster/Bofors guns. IF its proprietary, then exporting this might be an uphill battle. Most countries are heavily invested in to the Bushmaster/Bofors ecosystem.

[@frenchrepublic2154]

Yes it is, France mostly rely on both its own tech and manufacture capabilities. Just at a much lower production volume.

[@haaxeu6501]

It's a CTA cannon, meaning the ammunition very compact and so is the cannon, this 40mm canon takes about as much space as the 25mm bushmaster

J'ai l'impression qu'ils sont obligés de réduire la cadence pour la précision du tir.
Je m'interroge sur la cinématique ou les fréquences propres des pièces meca.
Je serais curieux de voir le développement ou les essais de l'artillerie.

@@French4ForeignLegionnaires oui, ça fait penser au frf2 qui était plus précis en rajoutant un réducteur de son en bout du canon, car ca changeait l'équilibrage des masses (= la fréquence de vibration du canon), faut voir la validation de la dga par rapport au dvp de nexter.

[@thibaut4186]

​@@French4ForeignLegionnairesrectification: sur la vidéo, le canon ne bouge pas. Ca semble parfait.
Mais par exemple sur le shilka russe (quadritube antiaerien), la dispersion d'une rafale est énorme, bcp plus que le phalanx américain, mais au contraire, la dispersion augmente la chance de toucher la cible...

Of course it is not .This pretty machine is armed with latest state of the art armament and equipment it is same armament as a modern IFV so its price is close to VBCI II which instead of 6X6 is 8X8 and have enough capacity to carry an infnatry rifle squad ​@@French4ForeignLegionnaires
