From land to sea, the name 'Iltis' echoes through history. Once a German gunboat and later a wrecked gunship, its origins are shrouded in mystery. Today, the Belgian Army carries on its legacy with VW Iltis Jeeps used by scout and recce teams. These agile vehicles navigate rugged terrains as transmission troops of the Belgian Army survey fields for any signs of danger. In action under a smoke curtain, a recce or scout team showcases their expertise while driving their trusty VW Iltis jeeps. The Special Forces Group of the Belgian Army relies on these versatile vehicles as they carry out their missions with precision and stealth. Alongside them stands an Unimog truck, providing support and mobility to this formidable force. Members of these elite teams embody bravery and dedication as they protect our nation's security.
