Hello everyone :), what I would like to introduce today is VBL ALBI.

Introduction

It has a wide range of uses, including anti tank, transportation, espionage, reconnaissance, air defense, and more. This post introduces an air defense type equipped with Mistral missiles.

When installing the three defense system, the vehicle weighs 4 tons and uses a Peugeot XD3T 95HP diesel engine with 95 horsepower. It has a maximum speed of 95 km/h on the road and a maximum travel of 600 km. The body protection level is STANAG level 1, which can withstand 7.62 × 51 NATO bullets.The vehicle can be airdropped or floated at a speed of 5.4km/h.

VBL ALBI is an export model specifically designed for short-range air defense interception, equipped with Mistral 2 air defense missiles.
