What’s also worth noting is that the tires of those APCs haven’t gone flat from decades of disuse – which is usually the case for most. That tells me that you guys really got lucky and that those APCs are in near-pristine condition apart from the occasional vandalism (missing headlights, etc). You might even be able to secure the ERC 90 Sagaie and sell it back to the military for a pretty penny, or even use it as your own personal Zombie Apocalypse ride.

My best estimate is that based on the model of the armored vehicle, it was most likely abandoned a few years before the fall of the Soviet Union, if not after. The ERC 90 Sagaie is still in service even today, and that Panhard VCR went into service in 1979 in France, so I’m guessing the bunker was abandoned in 1991 at the latest, 1980′s at the earliest. That’s my best estimate. It was not abandoned in the 70′s.

Which means the bunker is probably still in French military records as a contingency bunker in the event of a nuclear apocalypse.

Fun fact about the Panhard VCR: It was developed at the request of the Iraqis during the Iran-Iraq war, to provide a platform for ATGM launchers.
