No. This is the French domestic version. The premium is the export model.

Looking at the two, it just has a smaller but faster firing cannon. Everything else looks completely identical.
You know we all want a T40 turrent version but give us this :(

Hey now lol, I’d rather have this than the T40 variant. This is the French Army’s primary IFV currently. Its served in the French Army for a while and even made its way through Afghanistan. For those who main France and/or are from France, I’m sure they’re happy to see this.

Happy for a Ctrl C + Ctrl V vehicle? I mean I guess.

Ugly and boring !
France getting a French vehicle! Woohoo!
Should it be rank VI or rank VII? There’s a discrepancy in the text
It’s not copy and paste though. Different hull, different turret/gun with a faster firing rate, soft-kill APS, and its Researchable vice Premium. There’s a lot of other things as well like the engine, etc.

Could you explain where do you see the “copied” between VBCI and VBCI-2?

It’s the same vehicle family what did you expect
It still says 7 at the end of the article
that’s like saying how the T-70 and (WW2) T-80 are the same copy and pasted tank, or how all the T-35s are all the same
The fact that its the same vehicle, just with a different gun? Im not saying that’s a bad thing, to clarify. But its not really “new” or “different”.
It is not the same vehicle. VBCI Mk1 and VBCI Mk2 are different chassis.
Yeah, I guess the front bumper and side profile is a little different.
Feels like I’m being shown a Chevy Silverado 1500 and a GMC Sierra 1500 and being told their different trucks but really the only difference is the badging. Oh and the Sierra has different leather seats. And a different grill.
Agree to disagree I guess.
Well that’s how vehicles work. The primary difference between an M1 and M1A1 is the gun, but I’m guessing you wouldn’t call that a copy paste. Same with essentially any family of vehicles; air, land, or sea; rarely are there more than minor differences between variants especially sequential ones. A whole new turret, armament, and modified hull is a relatively significant change.
