The Jaguar, a key part of France’s Scorpion modernization program, is facing serious technical and operational issues despite its €5 million per unit cost.
Designed as a next-generation reconnaissance and combat vehicle, it remains non-operational, requiring major fixes.
Key Issues:
Launched in 2014 with a €5 billion budget, Scorpion aims to modernize France’s armored fleet.

Designed as a next-generation reconnaissance and combat vehicle, it remains non-operational, requiring major fixes.
Key Issues:
• Unstable turret – Poor stabilization makes firing on the move inaccurate.
• Electronic failures – Software and hardware malfunctions raise reliability concerns.
• Power distribution issues – Officers joke: “On the Jaguar, you can’t use the lady’s hairdryer and the gentleman’s electric razor at the same time.”
• No drone defense – Lacks anti-drone capabilities, a major battlefield weakness.
• Climate control failures – Air conditioning is unreliable, impacting crew endurance.
