Light Tactical Armoured Vehicle: Second attempt.

[Sparky42]

Didn't ours end up being another uniquely irish version?
Can we not just go off the shelf next time?
New thread new vehicle.

The Rangers are using German Eagles in Mali aren’t they? Couldn’t we just try and buy something of complete common spec with other EU nations?

Time for a LTAV 3rd attempt thread?!

we should have just got RG32M (the proven Swedish one, not the LTV)

or just got AUVs

So it's replacing the ATVs?

It's replacing boots....these are for units that at most had some Humvees to move guys with.

So the anti-JLTV.

Not really the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) is aimed at a particular set of light troops for whom mobility is more important. The ISV can easily be hung under a UH-60, while the only US helicopters able to lift a JLTV are the CH-47 and CH-53. These vehicle are meant more for the airborne and SF units than the regular army. Even the JLTV will not fully replace the HUMVEE, only front line fighting units are going to get it.

The 6.5L diesel and 90L tank are from the original HUMVEE, so unless a customer needs a bigger tank that is what it will stay. There is the tray-extension at the rear which seems to have spaces for 4x20L Jerry cans.

Aka 80L of propellant

6.5L diesel with a 90L tank? Who are they kidding? Your first purchase is a 200L bowser for every vehicle to tow. If they say the range is 250 miles, then that's 200 miles before you start looking for a RESUP. With the inevitable bolt on armour, radios, and roof gunner, your 200 miles soon becomes 150.

That’s just mind boggling. How could they let that happen

Have you seen "The Pentagon Wars"?
