The light vehicle can tow a trailer, is fitted to carry two 7.62mm machine guns and can carry two radio systems, one for long distance and another for tactical, short-range use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DGA ordered the Rider in October 2017, but the spokesman declined to disclose the price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France also ordered from Unac a batch of new bulldozers designed for parachute airdrop, he added. That acquisition of military bulldozers follows the special force\u2019s reliance on airdropped bulldozers in Mali in 2013, as the elite group sought to prepare airstrips for fast deployment in the Serval operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vehicle weighs less than 2 tons and can be carried inside an NH90 transport
