British Army convoys of heavily protected trucks and howitzers 🪖 🇬🇧
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2024
- Several British Army convoys of Mastiff protected patrol vehicles and two AS-90 howitzers loaded on Heavy Equipment Transporters travel through Hampshire, UK. A Land Rover and a few MAN Logistics Support vehicles were also travelling in support of these armoured vehicles.
The 6 wheeled drive Mastiff is heavily armoured and designed as a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, with a large cage surrounding it to protect against mines and projectiles. It is used for patrols in conflicted areas to protect convoys and any other combat needs.

Why show repeated footage of the same vehicles
@@Jimimac73 It's different footage of the same vehicles from different angles.
@@CobraEmergency There's always one complaining, moaning minny out there....
@@CobraEmergency Good job he doesn't watch the news...
Love a good convoy. Always a great sight to see guys in green moving up and down the highway.
Imagine all the fuel being used, those stop the oil protestors will be literally pulling their hair out in despair
@@David-fj5lz Good
Always impressed with the proper spacing in military convoys - civilians have a lot to learn about speed & stopping distance!
Brings back memories of when I use to drive them, moved mainly challengers and warriors until I went to Germany then moved recce vehicles around that only just fitted on the trailer. The good old days
I helped close Fally which made me sad. I knew people from 16 Tanks. I was there in the general srea.when the Scammels were still being used.
I was 3 and 16 sqn spent a wonderful time in sennerlager and fallingbostal
@@user-ld2mn3sr8h my old boy was over there royal engineers 33 field sqdn I believe he was in northern Ireland to and challenge anneka and blue Peter
where you armed?
I was 3sqn from 1990 to 93,the 16 sqn from 1993 to 1996
At 4:00 after watching several vehicles travelling in one direction, then seeing the others going the opposite way, I just had to laugh because it reminded me of when I was in Germany in the sixties on an exercise. We had packets of trucks all meant to be going to the same location, but once we got into Frankfurt there were trucks going every which way at junctions with seemingly no one having a clue who was doing it right( me included).
Funny thing is I know where those 2 AS90s live, and the front one is in my workshop.
Always impressed with the kit used to move artillery, the huge scammels of the 80s, and the Antar before them.
i was talking to an old veteran years ago who had tank transporters in sandy terrain in ww2, they apparently were so slow moving that they would be started moving then they would put a sandbag onto the accelerator to keep it at a set speed, because no driver could keep his foot that steady for long periods. Can anyone comment if they have seen similar. I have no idea what kind of transporters he referred to
Oshkosh.... With Detroit v12s??
@@troyhowling2497Caterpillar C18
I would have loved to see what would have happened if those stop oil mob had stopped the traffic, would have been interesting to see how quick the police would have moved to get them out the way or would they?
it's interesting that I haven't seen a single one of them protesting about the war which is possibly the biggest waste of all resources, fuel at the forefront of them.
@@gurglejug627which war is that then? I seem to recall massive protests against the invasion of Iraq by the "stop the war coalition".
@@gurglejug627 They've been sorted. Section 24 of PACE 1984, with Art 134 of the Highways Act 1980 as the indictable offence, anyone can nick them and deck them if they disobey.
Fantastic video! All.the Oshkosh with mastiffs and AS 90s on you go boys!
Britain has to build up it's Army, Air Force and Navy...The navy especially has to stop being a ferry service and more like a British Navy🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Man you need to actually read, rather than looking at every sun newspaper. The air force has the second best AAW Plane on the planet. As well as AWACS and Great Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The army is small, but incredibly well equipped. The navy, is constantly getting new ships, unlike other navies, the Royal Navy does not have 50+ year old ships.
Correct we need a very large increase in defence spending. It needs to be around 4%. The RN has around 19 'warships' . Many of these are not available as they need maintenance. It needs to be substantially more. We can do that with a tax increase ring fenced for defence. Reviewed at the end of ever parliament, applied to everyone above average wages. In addition we also need a Swedish style national lottery for conscription.
Too little too late.@@EnglishScripter
@@captainbuggernut9565 Stop PAYING millions in hotel bills a day and then we CAN build our forces back up.
There's a creeping fifth column here right now, why build an army that can be taken down from the inside by some radicalised savage?
cool,you pay for it then and the rest of us will just concentrate on heating our homes and feeding ourselves!
The Oshkosh's looks so awesome!
The Oshkosh HETs are literally some of my most favourite vehicles. They're incredible.
@@CobraEmergency Yeah those are my favorite trucks, and i like the UK version slightly more then the standard US version.
@@darklordchris The UK version is really clean looking. Hope to film more soon.
American garbage would be better with a Faun tractor unit
Bet they are easier to drive than Thorneycroft Antars?
Surely Pickup with a Yacht should get a mention ✊🇬🇧
???? Overweight. Saw that! Would be nice to have!
Some amazing vehicles. I love the old school black plate with white lettering. Lovely video sir.
That’s a military spec reg. they would stand out if they were white and yellow.
@@robbland6312 Ok, thank you. I remember seeing old ww2 vehicles with those plates. Makes sense now that that is military spec.
Mmmmm I knew a guy who watched SOME of the convoys going down to Weymouth and Portland to embark for D Day. He counted 850 tanks and tracked vehicles, he gave up trying to count trucks. There were more going through the night but he was called in for bed. The Canadians built “Canada” bridge near Lydlynch in Dorset as a temporary measure, as the little stone bridge next to it was a tiny hump back affair and a bottle neck. That temporary bridge is still there doing great work.
Is that over the River Lydden on the A357 by any chance? There's a lot of 'temporary' bridges that ended up becoming permanent. It is always fascinating how good quality engineering built in desperate times still lasts.

850 tanks and tracked vehicles! My word. What a sight that must have been!
Yes indeed it is. I worked with a guy now sadly gone who watched the Canadians build the bridge in a field, that night he scratched his name in the paint on the top! Next day it was hauled over the river by means of pulley and finished. The only thing they had problems with were the timbers over the river were found to be rotted out when it was resurfaced. Then there was a kerfuffle as I think pressure treated creosote Oak was required. Difficult to get in a hurry, and an environmental nightmare over a river! My mate went on to bump into Richard Nixon who got lost in Hong Kong Kai Tak enroute to Vietnam, but he said that was nothing compared to being back in Lydlynch earlier in the war when looking up at aircraft noise one night he saw a Beaufighter take out an He111 which he said dropped like a stone in flames onto a cottage in the village. @@CobraEmergency
Meanwhile another 850 compete unknowns were delivered by the RNLI today.
@2.51 Love the MAN Recovery Vehicle towing the Mastiff, That MAN is one hell of a Beast.
I have driven the MAN 8x8 but with a hook lift loader
Not as good as Joe Hewes Foden put the MAN to shame up at Catterick 😂
@@stephencrossman9402 That was more operator error than equipment failure.
@@andyasquith5216ha ha fair enough
The Howitzers are so beautiful.
I was in the reme in 1974, we had big old scammel recce trucks that were so slow they virtually stopped between gearchanges. Lovely old trucks
Proud you guys everyday!!
Fantastic footage. Oshkosh 1070F
Never as awesome as the Thornycroft Antar. Nothing British Left. So Sad
My thoughts also
Unfortunately the enemy has already been allowed in by steath and is well established.
Exactly many enemies for money, come on in
we are housing/ clothing & feeding owe enemy
THE TROJAN HORSE OF DIVERSITY@@dshar9351
the trojan horse rings a bell.
Weren't we great
Live in Devizes love it when they fire off on Salisbury Plain to use an old Baldrick poem BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. NIce shots of the A303
That was part of his poem on the war I recall
Awesome video!
Fabulous.
Roll out guys! Good luck 😉 thanks 🙏 for service god bless god speed!
Awesome stuff, I used to work on the tolls on the Severn bridges in Wales and we used to see stuff like this quite frequently.
Yeah, I've ridden cojo in these alot when I was a tank crewman as they'd need one of us with them incase they had a tyre blowout and needed to get the tank off to replace it. Used to cross the Severn Bridge on our way to Castlemartin ranges in Pembrokshire. Took a good 10 hours+ from Tidworth, Wiltshite.
Yeah, busy route along the M4, like Oliver said out to Castlemartin. As always, thanks Ian. Have a good day!
There were two convoys of oshkosh going up the A34 on Saturday morning with Warriors on em.. Varying Camo and cleanliness..Looked like they were coming from Salisbury plain by the look of the chalky residue.. As a side.. It was all ANTARS Pulling AFV's when i was in the Army .. showing my age ha ha
Ahhh, you probably saw the same lot I did! These US Army Strykers were training with various Warriors of different camo. You're not the only one to mention the Antars on these videos lately!
That was me you seen on the A34 with warriors. Headed back to catterick after training with the Americans 👍 second convoy of mastiffs and wolfhounds also went to catterick. The AS90 went elsewhere they havent been up north in a long time.
Wouldn't last 24 hrs in a conflict we have nothing
saw a lot like this coming up the M3 today
the second HET at 5:50 honking the horn was me driving haha
Looked like your oppo was waving too 😄
@@PeterMaddison2483 he was haha.
Brilliant video, thank you.
As a continental European, I always get dizzy when I see the traffic in the UK. What I meant was left-hand traffic. My head is still spinning after watching this video.
What helps? Is there a brilliant drink? I ask for your recommendations, thank you.
Kind regards from Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany.
a nice cup of tea
It’s a dump mate
I can almost hear the tune of Rule Brittania playing in the background.😊😊😊 Lovely song.
But we obviously don't rule the waves any more do we - we're over run by illegal immigrants in dingys !
Because the French do nothing to stop them even though we have paid them to help!
I high time the matter was fixed by Apache gunships, Eurofighter jets or navy!
Give the the tri services some free gunnery practice!
What a waste of all them army dreamers
So beautiful
I passed a convoy of I think 10 or 12 Oshkosh HETs heading south on the A34 on Sunday afternoon. I suspect heading to Salisbury to bring the 'toys' back to base after some training ... or ... heading to fetch more kit to airlift to Ukraine for that pointless war.
At long last Sunak has finally woke up to the Invasion of Dover and sent in the British Army
Wow those are some big trucks
Love the comments. Hip Hip and all that. In reality coming to a town near you.
i was in the RASC later('RCT) in Germany in the cold war we had scammells and i loved driving them especially on really long jobs as we would have 3 drivers and we would swap about every hour the driver would climb out middle passenger would slid over and take over the driving the driver who got out would drop through the gun turret and so on all the time traveling down the autobahn those were the days great fun
Nice Hilux towing a boat right at the end.
Proud to be British!!
Weird flex but okay 😂
Why would you?
Why?
🇬🇧Military equipment of to Ukraine 🇺🇦💪
To fight the ugly Evil dictator Suka Putin😡😡
Proud to be American 🇺🇲 😂
Thank Goggins for his support.
its cool to see the absolute size of these things compared to cars lol
Yeah, everyone felt tense passing them on corners 😂
Off to protect some foreign shores while ours are being invaded every day
28 years in the army and its comments like yours that make me ashamed to be British
@@peterdavies6308truth hurts eh.
@@derekrichardson6515 Except its not the truth Derek.
So what would you have the Army do? Stick a couple of those AS90s and on a beach and blow the dinghies out of the water?
Muppet.
@@derekrichardson6515 What a typically stupid question. And shove the pathetic virtue signalling.
Short answer? N O N E!
I don't have to explain Jack Shit to you fellah. The difference between us is you think the Army can stop this when they obviously can't short of blowing the people to bits.
The only people who can stop this is the EU by stopping them at THEIR borders and then not allowing to roam free.
Once on the Channel we are bound by Maritime Law to pick them up. What we SHOULD be doing then is taking them back to France. But its the EU again.
Rwanda is the only option.
@@1chish we are aiding nazis in one place, dispersed in other places, and being invaded every day while our mis-government wastes billions on the invaders that could be used to make our kit and soldiers lives and their families better. Yes it is the truth, we have borders wide open to enemy invasion while our defences do NOTHING to stop it.
First time i've ever seen a green Mastiff.
Interesting💂♀and the credit goes to the job creators😎😎
Our boys.
how things change eh? it used to be tk bedfords when i used that road all the time in the 70's and they had yellow and green flags,i always picked up hitchhickers going to say catterick and they were always interesting to listen to
saw 4 Mastiff patrol vehicles on the road just a few days ago
Awsome😊
Proud to of done my bit. Every man an emperor. Still get giddy seeing convoys like this. In my day we would often get the ladies giving us a flash of their headlamps 😉
just another day as a driver in the army
TA drivers working for KBR......
Saw a load of the Oshkosh with empty trailers on the M1 last week
Nice video friend!
Thank you! Cheers!
From the rush hour with love
I have respect for the army 🪖🪖🪖🪖🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤👍👍👍
Are they on their way to Dover 😂😂😂😂
Large sea going fast corvettes needed. 4.5 inch auto loader, concrete in bows. Capable of multi task missions.
Go in guys we take the hill!!
jolis portes chars !
The cage as you call it is whats called "Bar Armour" designed to protect against RPGs....these vehicles were re worked at Warminster..new engines, suspension, axles etc on HXP contract. It's obvious where they are headed by the paint scheme...
Asthe song says, Their may be trouble ahead.
@@andrewmacdonald7423 Only if you venture into Warminster after dark....
The most pointless deployment ever? Russia is doing it all over Ukraine, despite the nonsense in the British MSM which beggars belief, spouting such brazen nonsense - so bad it's damaging to democracy as no one knows the truth any longer. And Russia is revving up, has such a vast hinterland that most of it cannot be touched, a short supply route to the front lines and knowledge of the terrain, infrastructure, enemy and winter warfare en-masse.
Why Britain thinks it ought to stick its nose in to further provoke them with no possible good result is beyond me. Send Sunak and his children, or perhaps make a Foreign Legion of our own if the government really believes so many of the 'all males of fighting age' newcomers care about the UK so much.
That's all we have nowadays!
Words are all we have
Must be something going on, as I see a mass of Army convoys on the M5 in Devon on the Same day as this
Deffo been busier lately.... Convoys are nothing like 20 odd years ago though....
I’ve never realised how big some of this military equipment is
On there way to Croydon!
Debbie. Haulage Driver Got Out Truck-- DOOR Wide Open - Heavy Traffic Passing BEside HIM !!
Every day down west its like this
Very decent video of the "tools of war".
Mmmmm office map reading?? Up one side & oops down the other!
Def send them to channnel
Great tractor unit the ozchoch
They're beasty.
I had the chance to sit in one onece a ex army fantastic basic but plenty of power I wished I had one in my low loader day hills no problem with one of those up down and flat great Al rounder
'Sod it - let's pull in to Welcome Break.'
That was very impressive. Which road was this? Does a good job of showing the scale of these beasts. Love how you were following the Mastiff going out, and then panned over to the AS-90s coming the other way!
The A34 between the M4 and Winchester. Busy route that! That was very well timed, I must say.
All this into London to protect the Ulez from the Bladerunners.
Would love to see how far an EV version of this would get😂😂😂
Highway Maintenance wanted to ride the escort vehicles arse a bit more hey XD i bet even in those trucks they are probabyl heavily protected e.g. bullet proof windows
Ultimately, the better we are defended the less likely we will need equipment.
How can we be defended when the threat is from within?
Can't stop rubber dinghies landing on the South Coast, and PM Boris Johnson was trying to embroil the UK in the Ukraine Russian war
We need to take our country back and protect our borders a lot better, or we are Check- Mate !!!
There getting ready
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Land Rover Wolf Oshkosh 1070F ( 2003 British Army has 70 of them ) Mastiff with slatted cage armour MAN HX60 and tow wagen is a MAN HX 77 I'm guessing this is somewhere near Salisbury Plain
From a roadsign you can see on the opposite carriage way, it's somewhere near Whitchurch, that's near the North Welsh border.
@@PeterMaddison2483Different Whitchurch dude....this one is in Hampshire off the A34.... 👍
Good October 4th, second notice in less than 60 seconds 2k23
Those tri-axle Oshkosh trucks are hyper valorised and rare here in America.
What is the particular emergency? and is it in Hampshire?
Training
Out of curiosity, is this a dispersal to regions from one base, or simply an overhaul and maintenance? (I notice some are still desert coloured)
Thank you. 🫡
I didn't know what they were doing, unfortunately. But these vehicles are from multiple different bases. I know the transporter drivers have been training with loads lately, but I'm not sure this if was training - might have been! Alternatively, there are docks at the end of this road, so could have been going overseas.
@@CobraEmergency
Thank you so much for your reply. I do like this channel, it is extremely informative.
☮️💚🙏
@@charlielynes Happy to! Thank you for your kind words.
This shows the state of our armed forces. 4 tank transporters and it's big news. Shows our little kit we have. The government or top brass seem ashamed to show any signs of our so called force. We never see any jets flying either unless you live 2 Mike's from a base. Then it's American, they do not mind using jet fuel, we have to account for every litre
@@memememe2674 This an extremely stupid take and genuinely means absolutely nothing. "The UK doesn't show off it's military assets enough so now we look weak!" What the actual fuck are you on about lmao.
Where abouts where these filmed? Ive seen a bit of activity recently around the M62 J32
i always smile to myself when there is no one in between the vehicles as they travel.
is it intimidation by size, type or green?
or just people with possibly weapons, so dont argue
It makes me chuckle when a little car ends up in the convoy and scurries to get free.
@@CobraEmergency oh but that is just being cruel laughing at that.
For health and safety. Remember a tank once fell on motorway years ago?
@@geoffrey5665 did it never heard about that one, must have been a crushing experience
You missed the white Van , it contained 1000 drones, far more useful than all those tonka toys
In that case each drone would be about the size of your hand, how can that inflict as much damage as a Howitzer, which can destroy a large building using rocket assisted rounds 68 miles away?
A 50 cal. rifle on a drone?! Not with the recoil...
EV Or Diesel?
High quality Wisconsin made Heavy transporters! they make them just 2 hours from my home
That's pretty cool. I do like seeing them!
1:51 first second third forth thats a damn lot of army- i mean military trucks
All this gear to help maintain and defend our freedoms.
Just remember the purpose of a military force people.
👍🏻🇬🇧😎
If they really were intended to protect our freedom as you claim they'd have stormed parliament,took custody of every parasite in the media along with all those hell bent on turning this sick country into Orwell's 1984 on steroids and that's just for starters..
Wake up will you.
Clown 🤡 phoney political proxy wars abroad enrichment of arms dealers and asset stripping the wealth of our nation via financial attrition more like…
Primary reason for a standing fighting force is to protect our own coast … dads fkn army could do a better job
Memories of empire
Get back under your rock @@oldfascist38.
Umm that's not the purpose of a military. It's to further the Government's interests - which sometimes aligns with the population, not always.
But Loved those Oshkosh tractor units as we call them in NZ
You kinda forget how MASSIVE military vehicles are until they're next to regular civ cars.
Are the wide load triangles upside down?
this is so SOP as to be B O R I N G!
Why are the 30 wheelers carrying the 6 wheelers? I saw 1 being recovered presumed broken but surely the others aren't broke? I get the howitzer being transported but not the mastiffs? Any ideas folks? Seems a waste of fuel/resources unless the whole unit is being relocated to another base? Also, are them American supplied oshcosh trucks?
Probably to save road mileage . And Yes it's a thing !! Vehicles are generally moved on low loaders for any longer moves. They may also being taken to Workshops for modification programmes etc. It's just easier. We used to move tracked whole units by rail when in Germany back in the 80's .
do the brits military vehicles drive on the wrong side of the road?
tanks?
APC?
mobile howitzers?
etc.
What do you mean? ivvy & Mil all drive on the same side!
Other than having your vehicle door open, great camera work!!
What do you mean? 😂 it’s clearly a lay-by with other vehicles and why would it matter either way?
Appreciate it! The vehicle doors were closed each time as I walked up to film from the parking laybys.
Might have been someone else you can see sat with the door open, though.
I don't want to risk my door getting taken off by an armoured truck!
why were they being transported 3 different ways? Some on trailers, some towed, some driven. Are they not UK road registered so on trailer or have extra armour and deemed too heavy?
They dont need road registering, they are exempt crown assets
May be they are taking that stuff to the hotels lol.
