Hello,

On the enlarged pic with two fennek, the first vehicle has a sort of bell on the roof, do you know what is it ?

Best guess that it`s a kind of jammer. Have you noticed the boxes on the sides?

Yes this box is also in place on other fenneks but without this jammer.

I think this jammer is new, because I have never seen it before.

Reminds me of the antenna for the Chameleon counter-RCIED (radio-controlled IEDs) jammer :

I didn't made the comparison with this, but indeed it looks similar.
