Armoured trucks/cars, APC, AIFV, etc.

Is it a good idea kung magkaroon ang Philippine Army ng Jackal MWMIK?





Kudos, Cheers and Peace Out ...

No: the gunners and driver are all unprotected.

Ever heard of snipers and ambushes? This is a rolling coffin in Mindanao.

I would say:

more of the following for armored transport:

armored trucks
Simba APC
M-113
Chaimite


for escort:

MX-8
Cadillac Gage Commando

and more of:
LAV-300

also good:
Unimog

thats the one.http://timawa.net/modernization-pa.htm,the hk3 apc and the m113 upgraded version.

Ya your pretty much expose on that vehicle we need more of a box type full armored vehicle without the heavy weight of a tank just a bit right for protection about 4 to 7 tons will do since our conditions demands it just my opinion on the matter

What about the M1117 Armored Security Vehicle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1117

it's like a upgraded version of the V-150 Commando

Maganda naman ang Jackal pero bagay lang ito sa mga COIN na ang terrain ay tulad ng sa photo, open space. Kasi pag d2 sa atin, ang dame pwedeng taguan ng sniper. Puno, damuhan, sa bintana ng bahay, d agad malalaman ng crew ng Jackal kung may kalaban, malalaman lng nila kung tamaan na ang isa sa kanila.

A program to watch is the British Army's LPPV (light protected patrol vehicle) which requires a 7-ton vehicle with a 2-ton payload. It's not a big as the monster trucks from the US MRAP program since the LPPV is meant to replace Snatch Land Rovers (which, like humvees, are still widely used but vulnerable to IEDs).

One of the LPPV contenders, for example, is by Force Protection (maker of Cougar MRAPs) and called the Ocelot. It can carry a driver + 5 passengers (1 in front, 4 in cabin); it could probably carry a turret if required (but with fewer passengers). Note the v-hull.



The Ocelot LPPV is definitely taller than the Snatch Land Rover but doesn't seem much bigger.

If the AFP's ever looking for a light mine-resistant vehicle and find MRAPs too big and heavy, the LPPV could be something to consider.

The also problem of this vehicle is : it's Right Hand Drive, di yan approve sa LTO
