Euro Special forces Runner

History

Most of them do ordinary support work at home. A small number went to the special forces, and those are the ones that look nothing like the rest. The fit reflects that: an external rollover structure over the body carrying LED work lights, kangaroo bars front and rear, mesh screens across the glazing, and a raised air intake. The stone paint and the dust-proofing point to sub-Saharan African deployment rather than European use. Bob Morrison, who photographed it at the SOFINS 2019 exposition at the special forces base near Bordeaux in May 2019, noted a severely dented LMT steering guard — the vehicle had plainly seen serious off-road use. The French Navy's special forces, FORFUSCO, run a parallel fleet of three-door Runner 90s in the 8121 registration series. No procurement quantity has been published for either special forces batch.
