‘The EU tanks were firing on the people.” Does not say WHAT they were firing.

GatewayPundit bullshit. These are Berliet VXB-170 armoured vehicles belonging to the French National Gendarmerie (a type of police). They probably had the EU flag painted on it because they are sometimes sent abroad for peacekeeping duty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliet_VXB-170

“The Berliet VXB-170 is a four-wheel armoured vehicle used primarily as an Internal security vehicle. Developed and initially produced by Berliet until Berliet was merged with Saviem to form Renault Trucks (now Renault Trucks Défense), it lost to the Saviem VAB the competition to equip the French Army, even though it was cheaper than its competitor. Production stopped after less than 200 vehicles had been produced.

Its main user, the French National Gendarmerie, calls it Véhicule blindé à roues de la Gendarmerie (”Gendarmerie wheeled armoured vehicle”) or VBRG.”
