God damn, that thing looks just about perfect in my eyes. Especially the one with the 30mm remote cannon and a freaking laser beam.

[@-whatever-]

How small are you? Can you fit in a shoe box?

[@ivi7017]

so the payload of the utility variation is merely 1 ton ?

[@paulleepoy8039]

I like the labels on the vehicles,they ruin the enemy with their names !

[@ronniearciga8643]

Awesome...get it done. Make sure this sophisticated military vehicle will put in good hands. I mean, I want this is exclusive for American army and selected NATO members like British. Godspeed

[@RednerKlallamStrong]

They should have a armor vehicle that has a load of hell Fire missiles on the back of it . something like a 10 pack hell fire missile system ? Whatever ! Lol or more ! . then put more on armor Stryker vehicles ? Maybe . I'm just saying I have a feeling there gonna want a vehicle that has more missiles on it . not this 2 to 4 little buddy systems

It looks like hommve better than oshkosh because hommve lower than oshkosh and that making hommve less visible for ATGMs

Clearly the US army hasn't been watching what the Houthi's are doing to Oshkosh vehicles with their ATGM in Yemen. I wouldn't sit in one of them if you paid me. As for the Hellfire unit on the side of that package, I can just see what a half way decent sniper would focus (and giggle) on ...

[@parusol235]

I don’t think landing a round into a Hellfire missile would result in it exploding, besides the SHORAD variant is meant to stay relatively behind the frontlines to engage low level aircraft

[@mike41457]

Did you just say that a ATGM a (ANTI-TANK guided missile) might destroy a lightly armored JLTV is a possibility, no way dude. Its almost like ATGM that are used to disable or kill tanks are able to destroy a lightly armored vehicles.

[@belesariius]

@@mike41457 I know right ? it's almost as if you can't write this stuff

[@baremetalmafia]

The reality is you can pretty much just bolt on any self contained weapons system onto a truck. Just look at any other combat egagement in history. This is nothing new.

[@chevalier115]

so long as said truck isn't some thin tin can then yeah pretty much.

[@jaystol7988]

because hustory

[@armchairgeneral7557]

A truck can’t withstand a roadside bomb like this can. If you bolt on an armored cab, then you have to replace the shocks to standup that weight. Oh now, that weight needs more horsepower to haul the truck and whatever it is towing. So, you are not factoring in a lot important details.
