French Bastion vs. Russian Tigr: what do we have now?

On Nov. 13, French daily newspaper Ouest-France announced
that official Paris provided Yerevan with Bastion armored personnel carriers.
The number is not specified, but we can assume from the published photos that
it is more than 20. Later, Russian newspaper Voyennoye Obozreniye (Военное
обозрение) also referred to this deal. Both sources made the same claim: the
armored carriers were originally meant for the Ukrainian army. However, at the
last moment, Ukraine rejected the deal. News came that they were delivered to
Ukraine and arrived in Yerevan from there.

These armored carriers are quite famous in the world and
have extensive experience in solving problems in hotspots. The carrier is manufactured
by French manufacturer ACMAT. It consists of 3,500 parts. Its major advantage
is that its spare parts can be obtained easily. Since 2021, the carrier has
been manufactured for the U.S. army as well, as an ambulance in hotspots. It
weighs 12.5 tons; all four wheels are pulling. It works in two modes: with a
closed body as an armored personnel carrier and with an open body, intended for
special purpose armored vehicles. It is versatile and can be used as a truck or
a mobile command post.
