Several new vehicle types featured in Chad's annual military parade on 11 August, including a large number of Terrier LT-79 light armoured personnel carriers (APCs) operated by the elite Directorate General of Security Services of the State Institutions (DGSSIE).

The LT-79's manufacturer, The Armoured Group, announced in early August that it had shipped 30 of the vehicles to a Central African country it did not identify. Africa Intelligence reported in June that Chad had ordered 60 LT-79s.

Built on a Toyota Land Cruiser 79 chassis, the LT-79 has a combat weight of 5.6 tonnes, features all-round CEN B6-level armouring, and can carry six to eight dismounts depending on the seating arrangement. The Chadian vehicles are fitted with a protected weapon station and armed with 12.7 mm DShK-type heavy machine guns.

The DGSSIE also displayed two Arquus Bastion vehicles that appear to be the same APC variant that the European Union has delivered to Mali and Burkina Faso as part of its support for the G5 Sahel Joint Force, which includes Chad.
