The AMX Agresseur (English: ‘’Aggressor’’) is a Sieuxerrian armored fighting vehicle family developed in the early 1990s to replace the aging AMX-10 and AMX-VCI family of AFVs which had been in service as early as the 1950s.
The Agresseur family is known officially in the Sieuxerrian Army as the ‘’’Véhicule militaire blindé - AMX’’’, or VMB-AMX. VMB stands for armored military vehicle or armored fighting vehicle, with AMX standing for Ateliers de construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux, which is the principle factory where these would be assembled, however other factories and subcontractors were involved with the production of other parts.
