Here are two from Afghanistan I'm not sure the add-on armor has been fitted to those deployed in Mali (Operation Serval)... But it is used in Niger (Operation Barkhane) : H.P.

Used in Lebanon as well. For more pics, have a look at my site, there is a series of this armor. Olivier

Thanks HP, with my office computer I don't have access to my site

Thanks Olivier, I appreciate that information (sorry for the late response). Looks like the ZXL wheels/tires don't show up on a lot of pics in Afghanistan etc.

But they're OK for Mali or Niger H.P.
NOV 27, 2015 - 03:38 PM
I guess those wheels are very recent so I think they were not fitted on VBL in Afghanistan.

Thanks guys, that is extremely helpful.
