Le véhicule blindé tactique de patrouille est un véhicule de combat à roues pouvant être affecté à divers rôles sur le champ de bataille, notamment la reconnaissance et la surveillance, la sécurité, le commandement et le contrôle, ainsi que le transport blindé de matériel et de troupes. Le véhicule blindé tactique de patrouille assurera un très haut niveau de protection à l’équipage, tout en conservant une grande mobilité. De par sa conception, le véhicule blindé tactique de patrouille pourra circuler sur un terrain accidenté, ce qui permettra aux militaires de se déplacer sur tous les types de terrain et d’élargir leur éventail d’itinéraires. 3, record 1, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20blind%C3%A9%20tactique%20de%20patrouille
