A few years ago U.S armed forces
launched a program to develop a multi-purpose combat vehicle. There was a
tender and the company Oshkosh got the contract. Sometime later the amazing
military all-terrain vehicle Oshkosh L-ATV appeared.Its purpose is to replace the obsolete
off-road vehicle the humvee which was used by the military and police since
1985.The Oshkosh L-ATV has several
interesting features. First of all, it's worth noting that the SUV has an
extremely high cross-country ability. Also, it can be transported by air
and even parachuted. There are four different models the first one is for
general purposes the second one has light weapons the third one has heavy
weaponry and finally the fourth model is a multi-purpose two-door pickup truck.
The vehicles are equipped with machine guns automatic grenade launchers
anti-tank missile systems and similar weapons. The four-seater all-terrain vehicle can carry a weight of up to 1600 kilograms and the two-seater up to
2300 kilograms. The maximum speed at the Oshkosh L-ATV on a flat road is 110
km/h and the price of the car is about $400,000.
FALCATUS
The car that you see on the screen was
designed by the federal security service of the Russian federation. The car was
designed in 2008 but the first combat tests were conducted only in April 2016.
Unfortunately, most of the characteristics of this armored vehicle are classified, therefore we know only a few facts about it. The maximum speed of the falcatus
during the tests was 200 km/h nevertheless the recommended speed for operation
is only a hundred and sixty kilometers per hour. Experts believe that the
company kamar has developed a unique chassis specifically for this armored
vehicle. Its engineers have also been working on the development of the engine
and some of the main elements. Experts believe that the engine power is 730
horsepower. The armored protection project was developed by force technology a
company specializing in the production of bulletproof equipment. The falcatus
two and a half meters tall six and a half meters long and inside it can
accommodate up to ten people. There are three windshields all large and armored.
On the side, under the smaller windows, there are loopholes for small arms. The
falcatus is intended to support assault groups in special operations.
ALIGATOR 4 BY 4
MASTER 2
It’s an armored vehicle was manufactured by the Slovak company karametal. The
alligator 4x4 master 2 was first shown to the world in 2016 at an exhibition in
Bratislava. This armored vehicle has a four-wheel-drive system. Some other
great features are independent axles, a special suspension system, and large
ground clearance. Tires were the central inflation system further improved the
alligator's performance. It weighs as much as 12 tons and reaches an astonishing
speed of 130 km/h. Interestingly in emergency situations, the speed can be
temporarily increased to 145 km/h. The payload of the armored vehicle is just
over three tons. At the same time, the reinforced roof construction could
withstand up to 500 kilograms of load. This is important because the alligator
is complemented by combat modules. The vehicles meant to be used by special
armored units of the police. In addition, it can be used to transport cargo in
combat actions. The alligator is five and a half meters long which allows it to
transport up to 11 people, two crew members, and nine infantry soldiers. It's
worth noting that the alligator 4x4 master 2 can overcome one-and-a-half
meter wide water obstacles without preparation. Alternatively, it can be
equipped with a special kit that will enable the movement of the vehicle on the
water.
GURKHA MPV
These
light armored reconnaissance vehicles are manufactured by Terradyne armored
vehicles even though they're manufactured in Canada you can find this
vehicle all over the world. For example, it's used by the police in the U.S
Singapore and Mexico. The Gurkha is also used by the police of major Canadian
cities such as Toronto and Alberta. There are three models and of course, we're
going to talk about the most interesting one. The multifunctional model known
as the MPP is designed to transport infantry as well as law enforcement units.
The car has a fairly lightweight body it's based on the chassis of the ford
f-550 truck. Under the hood, there is a 330 horsepower 6.7-liter diesel v8 turbo
engine. The roof is equipped with an optional turret mount for a wide variety
of weapon systems. There are also two layers of protection. The first layer
protects the vehicle itself and the second protects the crew. The all-round
body protection of the Gurkha can withstand an attack with armor-piercing
bullets. The walls are also blast resistant. At the customer's request, the
reconnaissance vehicle can be supplemented with a third layer of protection.
THE PARS THREE 8X8
The car
you see on the screen is a modern Turkish
multipurpose armored combat vehicle. The developments and production are
carried out by the American Turkish industrial joint venture FNSS. When
creating the project special emphasis was placed on mobility protection and
payload. The result was an armored vehicle equipped with the latest technology.
The pars three 8x8 meets the highest military operational requirements the
vehicle weighs 30 tons it is powered by a diesel engine which allows the
vehicle to reach a hundred kilometers per hour. Moreover the pars three 8x8
also has an amazing off-road capability it can easily travel on steep slopes
overcoming obstacles up to 70 centimeters tall and trenches up to 200
centimeters wide. Although the cars very heavy, the body is balanced to distribute
the load evenly along the axle. Thanks to this the pars 3 8x8 does not get
stuck even if the soil under the wheels is loose and soft. Another advantage is
the short braking distance and increased grip at high speeds.
AJBAN SOV
Now it's
time to show you an armored vehicle manufactured in the United Arab Emirates by
the company NIMR. The Ajban Sov is a special operations vehicle. The model was
released in 2015 and was first shown during the IDEX (international defense
exhibition & conference). The vehicle can be used for reconnaissance, patrol,
border control, and logistics support. Up to four people can fit inside and
optionally a fit seat can be added. The vehicle has been specifically designed
to provide a 360-degree view around the vehicle. Pay attention to the open
design of the hole too this is an advantage because it allows the use of
various communication systems. In the events of an emergency, a special power
management system can be used. It will bring into operation all the special
equipment on board. Inside you can find a fire extinguisher a fire
extinguishing system and even an external torchlight.
