US Marines Launch Transition to Thousands of JLTVs

The Marine Corps intends to begin operational operation of the first light armored vehicles JLTV at its disposal. This decision was triggered by progress in the deployment of new technology for the ILC.

JLTV are designed to replace the Humvee, which are armed with marines. The 3th battalion of the 8th Marine Regiment was the first unit trained to operate the JLTV. At his disposal by the end of this year should arrive a batch of equipment necessary for the re-equipment of the unit according to the new model.

In total, the ILC plans to acquire about 9 thousand JLTVs. Of these, 300 units are expected to be received this year and up to 1000 in the next. The product will be delivered in several modifications: general and auxiliary purposes, as a platform for heavy weapons and as a carrier of melee weapons.

We are really on the starting line right now. Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will see the JLTV at the disposal of the US Department of Defense. We will easily keep these assets in the military department and in 2100 year. Welcome to the start of an era of many generations of JLTV.

- said in an appropriate press release, LTV program manager Andrew Rogers.

Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will see the JLTV at the disposal of the US Department of Defense. We will easily keep these assets in the military department and in 2100 year

What a bold and daring statement. What did the American marines have and was it in service and commercial service in August 1919 of the year and what came to 2000 of the year?
Can a stellar landing use this line on Mars?

In 1919, they were armed with large-caliber Browning machine guns. and since they never knew how to make machine guns in the USA - with the same they stared into the 21 century

and since in the USA they never knew how to make machine guns

especially they didn’t get Browning and Maxim machine guns replicated around the world.

[Rwmos]

Maxim made machine guns in England. and Browning - in Belgium, learn the materiel

Quote: RWMos

Maxim made machine guns in England. Browning in Belgium

In the homeland of the inventor, in the USA, for a long time they tried to ignore the weapon performed by Maxim. But the existing Gatling machine gun was already so outdated and inferior to Maxim in all respects, another prominent American gunsmith John Browning developed his first machine gun, which was put into mass production in the USA. The Colt company patented the Browning machine gun, in response Maxim accused the Colt company of patent piracy. But the Browning machine gun was inferior to Maxim, and as a result the US Department of War was forced to recognize the superiority of Maxim over all available alternatives. In 1905, the Colt company received a license to manufacture a Maxim machine gun at its factories in Hartford, Connecticut (Maxim is an American-made collection rarity now, costing $ 5 or more).

they were made everywhere, that's why I wrote that they were replicated all over the world, but both designers are Americans

[Rwmos]

Maxim emigrated to England precisely because of the arms lobby, as Browning and the United States bought a license from foreign factories ...
And what and who is there an American ... Sikorsky then Russian helicopter

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

in the USA they never knew how to make machine guns

you by the word "do", what do you mean? If designed, then both of them are Americans, if manufactured, then the "Maxim" under the name "Colt" was produced in the United States and there were no questions about the quality of the machine gun, as well as the "Browning"

Quote: RWMos

Sikorsky then Russian helicopter

Sikorsky was a US citizen by the time the helicopter was designed, and helicopters were manufactured in the United States, so Sikorsky helicopters are American helicopters, unfortunately.

[Rwmos]

And Browning - Belgium, and Maxim - Melkobrehany ... In the USA, the latter made only a prototype, and brought to mind only in England. Otherwise, Maxim would produce Colt with a brass casing and barrel like a Colt, which is a revolver in length

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

brought to mind only in England

they have been brought to mind in different countries for decades

Quote: RWMos

Maxim - Small Breaking.

What ??

[Rwmos]

TOGO!!!

Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim [1] (sometimes Maxim [2], Eng. Hiram Stevens Maxim, 5 February 1840— 24 November 1916) - British inventor and gunsmith of American origin, creator of one of the most famous machine guns - Maxim machine gun.

Remember Lewis, also an American regiment, it seems. and the machine gun is British. also not made in the USA! Materiel, sir, materiel!

In 1881, he emigrated to England and began developing weapons, including the famous machine gun. In addition to the machine gun: Maxim was engaged in the invention of underwater mines and torpedoes, he also developed a project of air torpedoes. Of greatest importance are his work on improving explosives. In this area, the name of Maxim is associated with the introduction of smokeless gunpowder, the use of which produced a revolution in rifle and artillery [3]. In 1888, together with Nordenfelt, he founded a factory for the production of rapid-firing guns and machine guns. In 1896, this factory was bought by Vickers. In 1899, it became a naturalized subject of Great Britain. In 1901, Queen Victoria knighted Maxim for outstanding inventions.

Maxim took up arms development after moving to England in 1881. Later, in an interview, Maxim said that he once met an American friend in Vienna in 1882, and he said: “Drop your chemistry and electricity. If you want to make a ton of money, think of something that will allow these Europeans to cut their throats even better ... ”[6]. In 1884, he created the first model of his famous Maxim machine gun. In his own words, his idea of ​​using recoil energy to reload weapons was born due to the strong recoil when firing a gun, tested in childhood.

[Pedrodepackes]

Well, yes, but if you look more closely at the dates, then Maxim designed his machine gun as a US citizen, and only then he was exiled to "exile" in Europe. And what does Lewis have to do with it if you still haven't explained what it means to "make machine guns"? Yes, Browning M-1917A1 Machine Gun, Browning M-1919A4 Machine Gun, in service with the US Army and produced in the United States, and under license in Belgium, as well, have been forgotten about Browning. Invented by U.S. citizen Browning

[Rwmos]

I answer: the prototype Maxim pile in the USA, it was the same machine gun. like Fedorovka - an assault rifle - crude, worthless craft. The machine gun was made only in England, and the United States bought a license for its production, because the machine gun is British. Lewis despite the fact that the machine gun is also British, although it was also designed by Lewis, who was born and served in the USA, which, however, does not make the machine gun American.
To do - all over the world, it means to provide a workable instance capable of performing the stated tasks, and so no Maxim did this in the USA

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

The machine gun was made only in England

because the American who designed it, having become a British citizen placed an order for manufacturing there, it only says that the British quickly sorted out in the situation, and not that the Americans do not know how to make machine guns

[Rwmos]

What you said above about that. Sikorsky helicopters - American? Why American. what did you say there? So. and the machine guns are BRITISH. And in the USA they never knew how to do it!

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

And in the USA they never knew how to do it!

But what about the Browning M-1917A1 machine gun, the Browning M-1919A4 machine gun ??? Who made them? Martians?

[Rwmos]

Just as it is the same machine gun. differing only in barrel cooling. And because they did not know how to make machine guns there - this is the only machine gun made in the USA, in the form of a large-caliber machine that exchanged the second century - there is nothing to replace, they cannot do it, but in the form of a normal machine gun of a normal caliber - it was replaced only in the 60s. And even there it is visible. what machine guns do not know how to do. what the nickname of the successor says - "spitting pig", probably the poorest machine gun in the armies of the world for all time, not counting Shosh

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

"spitting pig"

yeah, it's just about the M60, which is a further MG clone. And armed with these worthless machine guns stood for half a century, and, interestingly. that in Belgium the Browning machine gun was good, and the states were the same - bad Class !!

[Rwmos]

... because there is nothing to replace. Although in WWII all the armies of the world realized the superiority of a single machine gun over easel ones - the United States had been running 2 for ten years with the wretched easel of the beginning of the century.
And don't tell me about the MG-42 "clone". Krivoruk mattresses were taken by MG and for 2 decades they disfigured him so that their own army only spoke obscenities about the craft. As a result. After suffering for another 3 decades, they spat and admitting that the handcuffs were not sharpened for machine guns - out of habit they bought Belgian ones. "Clone" Clown - so more precisely. They managed to rob even an almost perfect design, crank arms!

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

... because there is nothing to replace.

Well, yes, two dozen countries suffered, including and the UK and Belgium ... okay, Zadornov said about the amers that they are stupid, but what else?

Quote: RWMos

And don't tell me about the MG-42 "clone". Krivoruk mattresses were taken by MG and for 2 decades they disfigured him so that their own army only spoke obscenities about the craft.

I was right about the M60))

[Rwmos]

And the rest is the lobby. Shove a lot of things during the war. shoots - and to hell with it. Britain shoved rotten and ancient destroyers into WWII in exchange for bases - this nifiga does not mean that the rotten trough was normal warships. If it was always so damn fucking with machine guns in the USA, then why the hell did their infantry run with the French Shosh in the WWI and generally without machine guns, hand and single in WWII? With automatic rifles instead of machine guns, it would be like the USSR would supply all ABCs instead of Degters ... And exactly the same thing happened in Korea, the enemy had DP and PDM. and at marchs - a fig in a pocket, they are able to do. yeah ... That’s how they fought for fun ...

[Pedrodepackes]

I would have willingly believed you, it would have been in WWI, but it was already in the Korean War, Karl! Why didn’t the Belgians bring their kosher Browning with them?

Quote: RWMos

then why the hell did their pehtura run with the French Shosh in WWI

and here it was

Quote: RWMos

lobby

one American general, read about the Shosh machine gun

Quote: RWMos

generally without machine guns manual and uniform in WWII?

and Browning M1918, aka BAR, which, by the way, did the same Belgium buy?

Quote: RWMos

the enemy has DP and PDM. and at mars

the same BAR and Browning M1917 / M1919 perfectly won.

[Rwmos]

Browning - automatic rifle, BAR - Browning Automatic Riefl!!!, in the USA in the WWII without a lobby - there WAS NO handbrake AT ALL, Belgium brought precisely its Browning, FN model D, are you tired of lying? 3 times per post - already too much!

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

Belgium brought exactly its Browning

Browning machine gun M1917
operators:
Australia
Argentina
Belgium: used by the Belgian UN contingent in the Korean War;
United Kingdom

etc.

Quote: RWMos

Browning - automatic rifle

Yes, only the Americans considered him a light machine gun, which he was in his technical characteristics, which are no less, but even more machine-gun, than that of the DP you mentioned in the same conflict.

[Rwmos]

Well, you’ve generally considered Maxim’s machine gun to be American, so what? Americans forever keep on breathing. Further, the operators, given that the UN contingent was supplied by the United States - supplied with weapons from the United States, it is not surprising that the BAR was there.
ETC

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

the UN contingent was supplied by the United States - supplied with weapons from the United States, it is not surprising that the BAR was there.

is supplied with ammunition (cartridges, grenades, shells), food, fuel and lubricants, and standard weapons

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

Belgium brought exactly its Browning, FN model D

by the way

FN model D (Demontable - interchangeable barrel) - a light machine gun developed by the Belgian company Fabrique Nationale in 1932 based on the FN Model 1930 machine gun, which, in turn, was a modification of the Colt R75 American machine gun, created on the basis of the BAR M1918 automatic Browning rifle.

So such a BAR M1918 was bad, so bad

[Rwmos]

And the weapon - it is indestructible, yeah, it does not fail. And by the way, the fact that the Belgians redesigned the rifle just says that it was unfinished. The Germans also redesigned the M-16 for the same reason - and now they have it, incl. and the US purchases. For example, a piston was stuck there ... Why? Increase reliability. So are the Belgians. Neighing from this miracle and corrected. "Light" machine gun, only weighs as a RPD with a drum magazine, although it itself has a rifle stub instead of a magazine. The closest analogue is ABC

[Pedrodepackes]

Quote: RWMos

And by the way, the fact that the Belgians remade the rifle - just says,

it only says that progress does not stand still, but speaks in favor of the BAR, that it was from him that the Belgians began to make their machine gun

Quote: RWMos

And weapons are unkillable

Correctly, but not indestructible, but outdated, and what seemed at the beginning of the XNUMXth century as a masterpiece, by the middle of it turns into UG. And the BARs then just fought after the middle of the century. Weapons are constantly being improved.

For at least 80 years, they will sell thousands of cars to third countries and will release another civilian version.

In general, there was an article about these cars.

Article "How the Humvee Compares to the New Oshkosh JLTV"Was published more than a year ago, but still remains relevant. It is mainly devoted to technical issues, and data on production and operation, which have already managed to become outdated in some way, do not occupy a significant place in it.

In general, the results of the comparison of two multi-purpose vehicles, created by order of the US Army with a difference of several decades, could be easily foreseen. Obviously, the HMMWV and JLTV machines share not only many years of production and operation, but also experience, technology, etc. Based on the experience gained during the operation of the Humvee in peacetime and in conditions of local conflicts, the customer was able to draw up a new technical task. It took into account both the strengths and weaknesses of the existing equipment, as well as new wishes of the military.

Don't they burn?

Everything burns in the world. It is only necessary to select the temperature regime.
But this is the lyrics.
I do not know how much this armored car is superior to Hamvee, but the Americans are not stupid people, apparently they know what they are doing. Although I, by and large, do not give a damn about their auto-replacement.
I don’t understand another thing.
How do soldiers see through the windows in the side doors? Especially the rear door windows.
There's no review there ?! Are they not afraid to be in such a "box" in battle or to drive inside during shelling? After all, you can only see what is in front.

The 45-mm cannon can easily be flashed with blanks, and the 12-mm anti-tank rifle and grenade launcher must be tested directly on the battlefield during any local military conflict.

And what is bad about a Browning machine gun? I'm not a special gunsmith, but the fact that the Yankees still use them says that the weapons are good. Yankees in weapons understand no worse than others at least.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

And what is bad about a Browning machine gun?

He has one minus - too much weight. It’s hard to carry in hands.
But in general it is an excellent weapon, which in its characteristics is in no way inferior to the same DShK, Utes or Korda.

How strong a piece is tradition. Accustomed to cutting Americans on pickups such as Ram Trucks and shove them everywhere.
Of course, the bonnet type of the body has advantages: you do not sit above the wheel, the motor protects during an accident, and from weapons, etc., but you lose one and a half meters of cargo space!
A speaker system based on GAZ-66 contains 6 bedridden patients, an operating room is deployed with a tarpaulin - try to do something similar in this stump.
And the wheelbase is the same.

I already wrote ... Jltv will buy pieces in the 15000 area, that's just the Humvee is larger than 140 000 in service. Only to 2030 at best will get about 40 000 jltv. So they will serve together. Maybe someone will fall from the decommissioned but not soon the most rotten.

ILC is not lucky as always. Just moving to new cars. And 10 mountain has already used 2015 in Afghanistan. Regarding the protection in this video on 10: 06 hit RPG in JLTV.
