Sherpa light fs heavy
Description
The « Sherpa Light » family of 4x4 tactical and light armoured vehicles is designed to provide light forces (infantry, paratroopers, marines, internal security…) with the best mobility / payload compromise of its category. In addition to its outstanding on and off-road performances, the Sherpa Light is fully air transportable (A400M / C-130), multirole and ready for being up-armoured (ballistic and mine kits). The Sherpa Light has already been adopted by NATO, France and other countries.
The “Special Forces Heavy” is ideally suited for tactical missions such as long range patrols. It is also adapted to the specific needs of special forces: 5 seats, open top and folding windscreen, supports for machineguns...
