Everything you ever wanted to know about MRAPs but were afraid to ask. A very good over view that covers the major players in the MRAP field and developmental history.

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
Nice to see that unlike most military equipment the Cougar actually lives up to the manufacturers claims ;)

Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
Well it's done, British MOD has made me 1 for 1 in predicting equipment. Chose wrong on the final FRES-SV platform but picked right on the LPPV program vehicle, OCELOT has been chosen over Supacat's SPV-400. See earlier posts on this thread.
http://www.army-guide.com/eng/article/article_1931.html and http://www.army-guide.com/eng/article/article_1933.html This will mean "good-bye" for the Land Rover, I think as important to the UK as the JEEP was for us. Regards, Pat |

Snatch was OK for its designed role (Internal security, proof against SAA ammo and petrol bombs, improvised pipe bombs etc), inside Northern Ireland. But outside of an all-tarmac road environment, it was too overloaded to deal with cross country movement - so was restricted to tracks and therefore to any IEDS placed alongside same. Snatch should be 2WD - it is currently listed as 4WD in the OOB. Cheers Andy |
Re: MRAPs and a couple of general questions.
You are correct, I pulled the trigger a little too fast on that statement.

Just took this off my list as I can't support this as an "ADD" or "MOD" as my confidence level is very low that British MOD will get this vehicle for SPEC Ops or Recon work anytime soon. So here's the TMV 6x6.
