Britain buys the latest American armored Oshkosh L-ATV

According to the Internet portal defensenews.com, The UK Department of Defense, in order to replace the Humvee, sent to the Pentagon an official request for the purchase of Oshkosh L-ATV light armored vehicles. Previously, these machines were not exported.

Car L-ATV (Light Combat Tactical All-Terrain Vehicle, light combat tactical SUV) developed by Oshkosh Defense in 2011 year on the basis of a medium off-road vehicle Oshkosh M-ATV class MRAP (mine resistant ambush protected, protected from undermining and ambush attacks). Subsequently, the manufacturer adapted the car to the conditions of the tender Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV), organized by the US Department of Defense to replace the obsolete HMMWV. In August, 2015, the company won the tender and in September, 2016, the beginning of mass production of machines.

Oshkosh L-ATV is an 6,4 t armored vehicle with adaptive suspension (maximum clearance - 51 cm). The machine is adapted for landing on parachute systems and transportation by air (including on external helicopter hangers) and is available in two- and four-seater versions. Basic booking is able to protect the crew from small fire weapons medium caliber, mines and mines. Installation of additional hinged armor is possible. The engine is represented by a diesel engine volume of 6,6 l and power of 300 l. with. Provision is provided for diesel-electric hybrid plants that can power outdoor electrical equipment. The armored car can be armed with an 7,62-mm machine gun М240, 40-mm automatic grenade launcher Мк19, anti-tank missile system TOW or any other compatible weapon installed on the remotely controlled module.

In 2016, there were about 140 thousands of HMMWV vehicles in the US Army and Marine Corps, of which about 55 thousands are armored. Their replacement is expected over 2018 - 2040's.

Vague doubts torment me ... But is this order not a vulgar "cut"?

No, they are not. This is a very good car. Humvee killed more Americans than all Arab shooters combined. The machine is completely unsuitable to save l \ s from a landmine. The MRAP system has proven to be an ideal defense that has saved many lives. And the question of light transport based on MRAP has been a long time, and this solution is even slightly late. Again, this is a very good car.

If you haven’t noticed, then there’s a lot of videos where the Husi burn abandoned. So the question is not iron, but the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat and the command of this gasket giving orders. But foolishly ....... well guess what you can break, and not in the USA screwed down.

I don’t know about Yemen, like the Saudis, they don’t cover the loss of l / s in any way. It's not about iron. In the confrontation of iron and fire, fire conquers. Speech in the saved life of a soldier. This is more important. I personally observed the mrapped MRAPs as if in a morgue for technology, there wasn’t even a question about the fate of the l / s, and when I found out that the soldiers got off the shell shock, I just didn’t believe it. The design features of this technique are such that the explosion pushes the armored capsule out of the epicenter, and therefore observed the armored capsule two hundred meters from the epicenter, even without traces of fire damage, when the remaining parts of the car were completely burnt. It’s like a Lego constructor, it fell and crumbled into details.

"Humvee killed more Americans than all Arab shooters combined.

Are there cars that can withstand landmines?
A land mine and a tank smash apart.
It is about keeping at least 25 kg of anti-tank mines. Moreover, that
means "keeping": the car takes off into the air, but the crew escapes with wounds.
"Humvee killed" ... if Humvee was in Russia, he would become the most beloved car in the army.
As was the American jeep "jeep" in WWII.

[Asadullah]

It is about keeping at least 25 kg of anti-tank mines.

I saw the defeats from the bookmarks in the camouflage and at 200 kg, it's not about that. L / s at Humvee and kills 1 kg, if the transport is not in motion. It's about the MRAP system. The system at times, tens of times increases the survival of l \ s. In Russia, this is tragic, and Humvi would be another coffin lid for soldiers, like moving armored plates in Kamaz. Need a step forward, not backward.

So there they are in Russia, captured ... in the museum of the Armed Forces ... a rare guano.

It all depends on the power of a land mine, and not long ago on the network I saw a documentary about 101 in Afghanistan. There, a medium-sized land mine, up to 10 kg, turned this car. Two of the dead were one with a severely injured spine.

Do not worry, as well as a question

Quote: Gray Brother

Can't the British do the MRAP themselves anymore?

Yes. The medical fact is that shaved is no longer a “Factory of the World” and an engineering type genius is not even a greenhouse there. Moreover, if the Germans, even despite the real prohibition, however, like Italians, do certain military equipment and various panzervagens in particular, retained the gloomy ability to create specimens of it, then the shaved ones merged themselves, alone, without an ensemble. The grimace of globalism with its distribution of labor.

If financial speculation brings more money than production - the law of greed, n, you’re animating ...
Britons, like Merkos, have significant profits from technology patents - this part is hidden from discussion.
Actually, TTP and TTIP were largely “sharpened” under the model “our technologies, and your hands” between the same SGA and secondary members of the “partnership”.
It was for this that the main point was the clauses of the agreement securing the dominance of private courts over state ones.

Return production to the same SGA - utopia. Or you need to lower the minimum salary to 10 cents per hour, as the product will be completely uncompetitive in price.

Yes, I won’t even argue. But exactly until the moment when the bubble called the financial pyramid does not burst. But he has nothing to do with real production. Again - from the engineer as a mechanic and constructor, and a skilled working speculator can be done, even self-taught trample in short. But try to make an engineer, or a worker, from an exchange speculator within the same time frame.

Any where? In what quantities, well, at least in grams? Even in Afghanistan, shaving dissected managed on the Swedish articulated. The rifle and that they brought to mind the Germans from Heklerr und Koch. Is that how? Especially after Lee Enfield. I am not saying that their hands are completely dry. But such as it was when they went along with the Germans in the same jet aircraft, they no longer exist, and if they really screwed the chances on airplanes in particular, then no one squandered those — they were blown up by themselves.

So I wonder what ocelot did not suit?

Deer they are. But Uzbekistan is strong.

Oshkosh M-ATV in the armed forces of Uzbekistan. The United States was supposed to transfer 328 armored vehicles to Uzbekistan - 308 Oshkosh M-ATV armored vehicles of the MRAP type (4x4) and 20 armored repair and recovery vehicles of an unnamed type. The transfer of armored vehicles was started "in the early days of December 2014" and was supposed to last "several months."

The equipment was transferred to the Ministry of Defense of Uzbekistan at no cost as part of the program for the transfer of surplus weapons from the presence of the US armed forces (Excess Defense Article, EDA). Tashkent was supposed to pay only transportation costs.

As a BMPD colleague previously reported, this transfer with a total estimated value of about $ 150 million became the largest US military assistance package ever transferred to any of the Central Asian republics. It is believed that the final agreement on the transfer of this equipment was reached on July 30, 2014 during a visit to Tashkent by the head of the Central Command of the US Armed Forces, General James Lloyd Austin III, and is part of the "payment" of the American side to Uzbekistan as part of an unannounced agreement to open a US base in Termez (Kokaida airfield).

However, after the death of Islam Karimov, the acting president of this country, Shavkat Mirziyayev, voiced the principled position on the impossibility of opening a military base in any of the foreign states on the territory of Uzbekistan.

Figs are now the United States, not the base in Kokaida. And Oshkoshi - yes, they were waiting - in my native Chirchik. In absentia they even drove them to give (at close harmony) - Oshpozi. Yes, and to hell with him, anyway, they will quickly plunder them in details and the cars will stand, gather dust. Even during the existence of the base in Khanabad, they presented 2 Hamvi CTWTU. Cars didn’t drive a month later: officers twisted parts from there and added them to the Nexia. As the "Nexia" went with the details from Humvee - hell knows.

But mines, infections, "love" just such cars .

You have M-ATV in the photo next to the Humvee, and the article is about L-ATV. These are cars of several different classes. L-ATV will be smaller and in terms of comparison with the Humvee, it looks better.
Height m-atv = 2.7 m
l-atv somewhere 2 m, maybe a little more

As I understand it, the Americans have their own problems with replacement, but here the shaving is asking. If you adhere to the views of the new president, then first yourself (USA), and then you can think about the allies.

Surely after the replacement, many HMMWV will be in Ukraine, the Baltic States and Poland - at our side.

Nravitsa I drank noise about dough. oh nravitstso ... Already reduces teeth ... Let's start with the fact that the army of just three hundred thousand - this time. The salary of a lieutenant - 4 thousand pounds - these are two. In a hot spot, you can find people of royal blood in the role of a banal platoon - these are three. So they take care of their soldiers as they can. And half the Baku lemon for them is not an onerous money.

To begin with, the army of just three hundred thousand has this time. The salary of a lieutenant - 4 thousand pounds - these are two

[ukoft]

yes, 1,5 lima per 0,5. on wikipedia. this is due to the massive bugs cheap. or the national character of the British does not allow them to do mass. as if the car is Aston Martin or Bentley. or a rover. on the other hand, the multiplier effect on your economy, although you are right, except for the British, no one else will buy it.
