    that is one fcuking awesome hardcore looking bit of kit.

    plenty of ground clearance and no doubt v-shaped hull with excellent MRAP.

    reminds me of my first Tonka Truck.



    looks like a top bit of kit Jungle.

      Yes sir... they are to be equipped with a RWS that can mount either a 7.62mm or .50 cal MG, or a 40mm AGL.

      The Armoured Recce guys are not too happy, as they are losing the Coyote in favour of the TAPV, and the Coyote mounts a turret with a 25mm.

        mmm, i can feel their pain, the Coyote is a good bit of kit and no doubt the 25mm will be sorely missed, but the extra crew protection will no doubt be appreciated.

            Wow. Off road, AND amphibian capabilities.


            Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                Good to see me there
                "Fellow-soldiers of the Irish Republican Army, I have just received a communication from Commandant Pearse calling on us to surrender and you will agree with me that this is the hardest task we have been called upon to perform during this eventful week, but we came into this fight for Irish Independence in obedience to the commands of our higher officers and now in obedience to their wishes we must surrender. I know you would, like myself, prefer to be with our comrades who have already fallen in the fight - we, too, should rather die in this glorious struggle than submit to the enemy." Volunteer Captain Patrick Holahan to 58 of his men at North Brunswick Street, the last group of the Four Courts Garrison to surrender, Sunday 30 April 1916.

                    could be worse - the German variant isn't even armed / armoured:

                      Well, a Vickers will fire all day and the .5 Browning will add weight of fire and the Swallow outboard will give it a water speed of , ooh, a knot and a half, tops and the plastic body will float with all the elegance of a Wellington boot. Crackin' car, Gromit.
