I was in the 82nd Airborne in the 1st Brigade Combat Team, I went into the field for 2 weeks to test these out as one of the first soldiers to drive them, we had lots of fun with them in JRTC and so on. Gets stuck in soft squishy terrain like most vics, but it hauls ass. Long story short I think its only good for dismount and recon, or raids.
Were you able to pressure down the tires and then reinflate them? Did they even teach you that? It's a squad delivery system. Looks like a scaled-up SOV vehicle.
What's old is new again. In the late 70's and early 80's, the 9th ID at Ft Lewis tested vehicles like this for the concept of motorized infantry. The concept was scrapped in favor of the failed Light Infantry Divisions. The Army is good at reinventing stuff.
Back in the early 90s they toyed with the FAV (fast attack vehicle) which really just a dune buggy with a machine gun on the roll cage. This looks like the next generation of that.

@@MaxEPR In some ways it would be better. Far less wind blowing rain, sleet, and snow in your face. Wind chill would be dramatically lower for a foot soldier compared to someone driving in a totally open vehicle with a 20/30/40mph headwind.
So we had the hmmwv which was too lightly armored, hung too much armor on it to where it wasn’t practical. Needed big bulky heavy trucks to replace the hmmwv. Now we need a light vehicle again. Sounds about right.
It will be great to take through the drive through. Everyone will be able to get coffee and donuts easily. And soldiers can no longer complain about the lack of armour in the doors. 😂
Chevrolet…….lol. I have had mine for 8 months and it’s been in the shop for a running total of 3 months. It has currently been in the shop since the first week in December.
@@natodeltaforce342 Like the two rear seat guys holding shotguns? Cause didn't see a whole lot of extra space with the gear they were putting on it. Where is the air guard ? Infantry never travel even 50 to 100 miles from the front without air guards up. And in Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan you needed air guards every time you left the wire.
These things are meant to be issued to light infantry and IBCTs (Infantry Battalion Combat Team) who were previously unmotorized to give them more speed and maneuvering options. Those guys never had vehicles much so this is an upgrade without turning them into mechanized infantry. They want it to be highly deployable without impacting the IBCT's operation too much, hence why they dropped the armor so they could fly them inside CH-47 Chinooks. They'll take the loads off the infantry and wouldn't force them to march everywhere. Using what basically amounts civilian cars for frontal assault like how Russia sometimes does is foolhardy though.
@@dannyzero692 Who stays with them? Does the support platoon drive them in support? Or do the infantry squads have to give up guys to drive and TC them and then who stays with them?

Who stays with the trucks when the dismounts leave to fight? I had to leave guys to sit with the trucks or another squad had to drop us off. All these trucks who's doing the driving and TC'ing?
@@natodeltaforce342 I think you don't quite understand what is FPV drone and what is anti-drone jammer. First, anti-drone jammer is a powerful radio emitting device. Without metal cage protecting soldiers they will be exposed to powerful emission and may end up with cancer quite soon. It boild people brains. It's like microwave and it's almost as powerful if you add all frequency bands. Second, there are FPV drones with fiberoptice that can not be jammed. There drones with AI-based computer vision that homing on the target making jammers ineffective. This thing can not get closer to the frontline than 20-30 miles without risk of being taken out with $500-700 drone.
South Africa used vehicles like this during the bush war in Angola 40-50 years ago called the Sabre assault vehicle.. build on converted Landcruiser or Landrover chassis.
Don't worry about protection! They will retrofit load it down with 1/2 tonne of armor and complain the tubular chassis breakes! They could do a lot with blast deflecting kevlar panels up top, double wall with AR500 steel inner liners to reject drone strikes, and a jammer platform for jammer de jour!! This would provide soldier removable rain and low temp protection.❤
Folks, it isn't intended to be an IFV or APC, it is transportation. Doing a 25 mile approach march with 50-60 lbs will take the starch out of you as will several miles after a jump or air assault to get to the objective. A UH-60 could easily sling load 1 with th squad on the bird. If you had armor and all the bells and whistles you could not use it. I had several 25 milers during my 11A days and to think of fighting immediately after is scary. 20 of those miles in one of these would save alot of fatigue and ultimately alot of lives.
I already said it, I have worked as a bodybuilder in car workshops and I have had cars on the chassis, it gives the impression that they run faster and are very powerful but that is not true. It will rain and not just water, it will be cold and they are not for going to drink beer. put a little kiblar at least. My army does the same, spending money on favors and paying friends more than on what really matters.
yeah, they were tooling around wahiawa outside schofield barracks in one of those things. theyre supposed to be working they shouldnt look like theyre having so much fun!
As much as I love the HUMVEE, it was always a drastically overpriced and underperforming platform for the investment. This particular idea seems much more financially reasonable and capable for its intended purpose.
Ppl screaming ‘it has no protection!’ dont understand the purpose and roles of different vehicles. Not every vehicle can be (or needs to be) a main battle tank.
Sure, but how well will it do when it's raining, or you're on an operation in winter, like in the Ukraine. It's a glorified death trap. How are they supposed to mount an air guard against drones? This is just a cheap way to get soldiers killed.
@@John_Redcorn_So you're thinking is that the protection from bullets from IEDs from everything else is that don't worry it will hit the guys first and that will protect the vehicle That's your thinking is that the guys are protecting the vehicle not the vehicle is supposed to protect the guys. Well that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time😅😅😅
My understanding is that these vehicles are intended to move light infantry units (think 82nd and 101st) from their drop zones to CLOSE TO the battle, upon which time they dismount and fight without vehicles. It makes to 20 mile hike and 18 mile drive + 2 mile hike. There are not intended to be used where there is a decent chance of a fight. That said, “Don’t SF and recon units drive around in basically unprotected vehicles? Why can’t the airborne!?” Someone’s going to get hurt re-learning that lesson.
Who stays with it? Anytime you bring a vehicle you have drivers and TC's. Where they come from? Who stays with the vehicles when the Infantry drop off to fight? That's the Cavalry problem stay and fight you have to cover your horses and if you depart from the horse's' who rides them back? You going to just drive up in 155K vehicle and deploy and what leave em parked at the 7/11? Somebody is gonna be signing for those toys and that somebody is gonna wanna not pay for it.

For what? It rattles and shakes. You'll either freeze your butts off in cold, get wet beyond belief in rain or become a giant dust ball on any back roads. No protection, all aluminum, only side shooters, no air guards. What exactly is this thing but a cheap transport sold at four times the cost.

Thats two air guards, two drivers, two TC's and one interpreter. No one ever trains with an interpreter but you'll have one per squad any time you leave the wire in real war zones. Trail vehicles eat shit tons of dust. You'll want doors and a lid that means air and heat.
I believe it's for airborne forces cause can fit on CH47, but if I remember all correctly it come at 150k and to me army maintenance depot can directly apply all the kits on a standard ZR2 (why not a half priced base model for diesel or use Silverado new diesel with kits too, eventually swich the line for 4000 working diesel truck or Jeep Wrangler with Alfa Romeo 4 cylinder 2.2L 200hp 450Nm/332ft-lbs diesel engine we have on italian market which is much better on narrow road and mountain track) in a cheaper way 🤣🤣🤣 Just to have an idea standard J-LAV come at 250k while armoured one you can get it at 500k, none of them would fit on the chopper, but...
When i was in afghan in 2009-2010 we werent allowed to leave the base unless we had up armored mraps or matvs … we couldnt even take up armored humvess … & now these guys are going back to the GI Joe John Wayne Days with the open doors 😂
Complain to the SAS with their Pink Panther success since WW2. Our Growler was cool too for recondo. But seriously airspace will be clear when these are used
Zero side armor or anything and no roof either. I'd say improve on the Humvee chassis and make upgrades with modern equipment and armor. These things can't protect our most valuable asset, PERSONNEL!
No fricking way absolutely no protection at all. We tested two of these in Germany and one end up being a supply vehicle and the other the Command Sergeants Majors vehicle for V Corps. They are junk, gas hogs and hard to maintained for a combatant vehicle
@ okay they have since changed the engine but still this is not a vehicle that should be used in combat unless of course your special forces and that does not include airborne units. Big Army and TACOM has figured out that Airborne units shouldn’t and wouldn’t get these vehicles either, the logistics for them is just not there.
Typically stupid idea. No protection and not even a way to stay warm in winter. Driving at any speed in colder weather would be incredibly unpleasant unless you are bundled up so much you can't move. They will need to issue lap blankets to the troops riding in it.
It's for very short distance transport of infantry units. What nonsense are you even talking about, you nonsense....???? What about in climates where it gets very warm , like the jungles of the South Pacific, for which it's designed for.....?????
Ask just about any soldier if they would prefer to force march 20km with 50 kg on their back, or ride in a pickup truck to get there. The vehicle is designed for that, to get light infantry and their gear to places fast, not to fight from.
@@brokenwrench404 its always the people sitting on their backside instead doing actual fighting talking the most nonsense. That day will never change, you ridiculous clueless nonsense.
Rare to see 99% commenters criticising a US military vehicle. I hope it is not expensive, otherwise a reasonable US civilian truck without panels probably can do the job.
I vote Ripsaws with light armor instead, a centerline ball turret gunner first row back with Quad mount 20mm/shotgun drone killer, and seating for 6 with shooting ports on removable side panels. 2 Fit a squad, plus ride alongs, mission configured, some protection, better terrain navigation, faster and the ball turret can "mow grass" when SHTF!!! 🎉😂🎉❤

Kinda seems like a step backwards considering the lack of armor. I expected to see them driving it at higher speeds like an offroad trophy truck. Speed would probably be this vehicles best defense. Hope it has some level of mine and ied protection underneath. Seems like it would be something special forces would use, but driving much faster.

Ask just about any soldier if they would prefer to force march 20km with 50 kg on their back, or ride in a pickup truck to get there. The vehicle is designed for that, to get light infantry and their gear to places fast, not to fight from.
@@brokenwrench404 its always the people sitting on their backside instead doing actual fighting talking the most nonsense. That day will never change, you ridiculous clueless nonsense.
What was wrong with keeping the original Humv? It was in service and light weight before up armored? It was a replacement for the jeep.
Drones are going to eat these.
Winter and snow conditions?
Basically a large golf cart.
I hope they are 4 wheel drive!! The one they just showed in this video wasn't doing very well in 2 wheel drive mode, and he was on level ground!!!
I did notice but they MUST be 4+4
If the vehicle flips someone is gonna be Oh so screwed.
How so? It has a full roll cage and seat belts.
Rare to see 99% commenters criticising a US military vehicle. I hope it is not expensive, otherwise a reasonable US civilian truck without panels probably can do the job.
It literally is.
ISV is essentially the diesel Colorado
It looks like it's well protected from IEDs .
field taxi! good for air transport only or modified some armour later.
Looks a great vehicle don't mess with the USA military.
The guy in the back carries the 12 gauge for drone protection.
I vote Ripsaws with light armor instead, a centerline ball turret gunner first row back with Quad mount 20mm/shotgun drone killer, and seating for 6 with shooting ports on removable side panels. 2 Fit a squad, plus ride alongs, mission configured, some protection, better terrain navigation, faster and the ball turret can "mow grass" when SHTF!!! 🎉😂🎉❤
Big drones fly so high you dont even see them and carry a big payload
You'll either freeze your butts off in cold, get wet beyond belief in rain or become a giant dust ball on any back roads. No protection, all aluminum, only side shooters, no air guards. What exactly is this thing but a cheap transport sold at four times the cost. Infantry squads are 9 to 11 guys, no squad is ever fully manned. 9 seats each but with interpreter you need 10 seats you'll have to leave guys back or take two trucks per squad. Thats two air guards, two drivers, two TC's and one interpreter. No one ever trains with an interpreter but you'll have one per squad any time you leave the wire in real war zones. In any combat zone you will have air guards that's a must for vehicles anywhere. Trail vehicles eat shit tons of dust. These things will need doors and tops with Ac or heat. No one will want to ride in them in winter. Looking at you 10th MTN. Chosin!
AMS need this
I imagine it’s easier on the paperwork and organisation if you lose troops in convenient squad groups. Seems no other function for this vehicle.
Why did they not fit a full windscreen with wiper blades and screen wash?
Потому что "солдат должен стойко переносит трудности связанные со службой"
Just need the gun turret and you have a halo warthog
They already had that with the humvee
Have we forgotten about IED’s?
Kinda seems like a step backwards considering the lack of armor. I expected to see them driving it at higher speeds like an offroad trophy truck. Speed would probably be this vehicles best defense. Hope it has some level of mine and ied protection underneath. Seems like it would be something special forces would use, but driving much faster.
It may get used in a non-combat environment but never in war zone.
Troops trend to use what is available.
@richarda996 in war zone they use whatever is bullet proof. I've been there a few times.
I believe they should stay in the realms of the LAVs or build off the body instead of vehicles that will sit in the motorpool for months on end.
直接把民用越野車車體為基礎發展出軍用野戰車！
Can you mount a “ Ma Deuce” on it?
これランセットとか徘徊してる戦場じゃ、そのままで使えないだろうね。
結局網とか籠付けないと危険で走行出来ないと思うわ。
