We are always into complicated names,but thankfully,there are sometimes good abbreviations.

Some exemples ;

Camion Ravitailleur Pétrolier de l'Avant à Capacité étendue ---> CARAPACE.
Système Embarqué de Reconnaissance Vecteur Aérien Léger ---> SERVAL.

I am sceptical.
I know there was a tranche of 64 more CAESAR,but it was cancelled by the current government's military programming law.
Seeing the reversed cuts and army's fighting force increase,I wonder if the plans have changed ? @BON PLAN @Picdelamirand-oil @halloweene Any news ?

I know that 32 CAESAR NG were planned to be bought to replace the AUF-1s,but later.
