Some people might like to know that the MOWAG eagle 1V recently purchased byDenmark us actually based on the DUrO111 chasis and not the mowag eagle,,,but still not cheap.

I think most people with an interest knew that, the Eagle I/II were based on the HUMVEE, HPT...or is there something I missed?:confused:

The Eagle 1V has a completely defferent profile being based on the DURO 111 chassis is my point !

The EAGLE IV, to be equipped with an Overhead Weapon Station, Communication and Battle Management System and various other equipment will further enhance the military capability of Denmark to participate in international operations. The threat situation in such missions specifically calls for a high level of protection for the vehicle crews against mines and ballistic weapons. With the EAGLE IV, the technology-minded company from Kreuzlingen, Switzerland offers a new product based on the well proven DURO family of vehicles, which fulfils this high-ranking requirement of protection, comfort and mobility.

Sorry I should have stressed the point that the originals were base on Humvess..my fault.

Blame Mowag: if it's that different they should have called it something other than 'Eagle'.

They can call it what they like, it's their design.
