The rarest French Army Cougar, so very special!

CZX-2298 AS532UL, seen here flying at Dax, now unfortunately stored at Montauban, after mouth balling ahead of an upgrade that now seems unlikely.
Originally there were four of these platforms all with individual names, the one below "Porthos" based at 1er RMC/EHOR at Phalsbourg. The Thomson-CSF radar allowed tracking of 4000 vehicles within a 200 km area of a battlefield.
