IDEX 2017: Battle-damaged Nimr Jais MRAP on display

[@bhimbonggames3206]

NOW THIS is how armored vehicles should be advertised! Showing damage that proved them in combat

[@rocs5649]

this is how you should show these kinds of products to buyers. battle tested

[@billy4734]

"And here we have our battle-tested Ferrari and as you can see... You will not survive a 400lb IED."

[@DAIadvisor]

Minor damage from small arms fire. Show me the one that hit the IED please.

[@dave-ql2ri]

It has some of the best IED protection in the world (it is a South African design, after all).

[@marinegroup7625]

Просто эту машину обстреливали из всех видов оружия, в том числе и мелкашки, а на выставке выдают, что с поля боя.

[@Tsagia]

14,5mm KPV and .50 cal aren't exactly "small arms"...

[@alibehzad1699]

This shows the quality of nimr vehicles

[@mojohns44]

You could use this as a school bus in Detroit!

[@MrSkyl1ne]

probably not safe enough though

[@randianmedia4730]

Morgan Johnson what ? Do you want a vehicle made up with bricks ?

[@ewaldseiland8558]

Note that he said no people were *killed* inside the vehicle. That begs the question how many were wounded.

[@dave-ql2ri]

It looks kinda like an RG 35 Edit: I just found out that it is one, built under licence.

[@schlirf]

Impressive (!), but the question has to asked: What type of Ammunition were the other guys using?

[@Veldtian1]

If it'd been hit with a crappy run-of-the-mill RPG7 it'd still be out there decorating the desert landscape.

[@uraninite8151]

Are you sure? Don’t these have spaced armour so you would need a tandem warhead like a Kornet?

[@สุวัฒน์ต.วรพานิช-จ8ฎ]

The problem is WHERE has this armored vehicle been ambushed and HOW is the situation there?

[@romanliru200]

Very convincing of battle tested equipment

[@1moderntalking1]

what about the truck that struck IED?

[@pecheur1951]

I guess it's still in Yemen... it's remains rusting away. The displayed vehicle escaped because it was attacked with just light weapons. Had it been attacked bij an atgm it too would be a burned wreck.

[@siopaoman37]

AWESOME!!!

[@AmazingAce]

That's awesome.

[@Tsagia]

I see a lot of stupid people here saying stuff like "Oh an RPG would destroy it" or "Oh these are weapons are nothing" or "Oh a javelin would destroy it". Ask yourselves this: If you were in battle would you have preferred to be in an unarmored Toyota pickup truck or one of these? Check out most of the conflicts in the world. Lots of unarmored vehicles are being used. And lots of lives have been saved by some armies by using MRAPs and up-armored Humvees.For example in Iraq.

[@eatsleepplayrepeat]

Who actually used this vehicle?

[@TiberiusMaximus]

Impressive, whats the armor thickness? composite?

[@dave-ql2ri]

Tiberius Maximus All I know is that it had ballistic protection of STANAG level 4 (14.5x114mm AP) and IED protection exceeding STANAG level 4 A and B (above 10kg) and and can withstand a 50kg blast at 1m.

[@gurt.yuri3378]

@@dave-ql2ri No wonder it stopped 12.7

[@progx8679]

Good Job !!!

[@keyup2626]

Fantastic to say the least.

[@bestamerica]

' do this MRAP have a - V - hull under the bottom

[@allesiofondressi2602]

Good reporting and some pretty good shooting too!

[@sandsandy9469]

Battle Proven 👍

[@paulleepoy8039]

Sounds like no rocket propelled grenades were used on it

[@gabrielwing2436]

nobody ever tells you about the ditances

[@donaldgray2128]

I guess it beats the old willies JEEP

[@michaelanderson3096]

Better than tanks - Wheels are better than tracks and si is the armour.

[@thomasspencer5089]

We get it the armour wasn't penetrated.

[@pacmac360]

Lets see a mortor nor rpg/missile stricken vehicle 😎

[@MojoDevirus]

Why use Insurgent and not freedom fighters?

[@danni8191]

Because they never donated a vehicle to Janes.... also they are insurgent against the Yemen government.

[@Galvars]

Terrorist for one, Freedom Fighter for other. Insurgent are neutral description.

[@chobitshideki1]

then it would be totally destroyed.

[@michaeljensen6205]

That fella with 14.5 tried shooting side instead of windows :)) fail. Also the other two sent (3 were deployed total) were obliterated in combat.

[@eddiepadilla1078]

Cool so youre showing us the weapons that tge terriorist are using. Good thing they have that oil money; they can always buy another rather then wait 6hrs for the repair.

[@marinegroup7625]

it is testing vehicle, was shot in a test area, not a battle!) South African N35 Copy-Past design.

[@HasanAlhammami]

Hahaha. If you're dump, then the best move to dois to shut your mouth and not show your stupidity. The vehicle shooting is in the internet.

[@Nak912]

if the 12.7mm round would hit the wind screen then ..................RIP UAE troops

[@musti197000]

Turkish Company Joint venture with Emirates company in the name of panther. Desert Variation of Turkish product. Good one. Production plant is in the Emirates but all plans and production made with Turkish know how. Special Boron material inserted Armour plates also from Turkish producer Roketsan.

[@lonewalker6110]

it reminds me how Us soldiers couldn't go out from theirs bases in afghanistan

[@roncanty3206]

Mehdi Rahali it reminds me of when US soldiers did leave their base they would hunt down the child raping scum bag terrorists and kill them.

[@CaptainAnkara]

Pretty fucked up with a few bullets. I wonder what will happen if a rocket hits...

[@steves6823]

It was still mobile hardly fucked up

[@AArrad]

Rıza Kaptan You should see any tanks or humvee in the same instance, this is an APC used to mobilize troops safely across the battle field and defend standpoints that the army captures. It isn't meant to be sent solo, regular protocol calls for tanks and main ground vehicles in the area that might be a real threat and can withstand heavy hits such as rockets and IEDs, these can also withstand such devices but to a certain extent. And it looks to have protected and could have protected the passengers for a long time.

[@empyrean1795]

Woa, so its able to small arms fire?! What a revelation... Damn, these emirats sure copied the South African N35 well.

[@nmende00]

Empyrean Gaming heavy machine guns are not small arms.

[@empyrean1795]

Actually they are... " In the U.S. military, small arms are "man portable, individual, and crew-served weapon systems used mainly against personnel and lightly armored or unarmored equipment" However, in regard to inventory management, the U.S. Army says small arms/light weapons (SA/LW) are: "Handguns, shoulder-fired weapons, light automatic weapons up to and including 12.7mm machine guns, recoilless rifles up to and including 106mm, mortars up to and including 81mm, man-portable rocket launchers, rifle-/shoulder-fired grenade launchers, and individually operated weapons that are portable or can be fired without special mounts or firing devices and that have potential use in civil disturbances and are vulnerable to theft.
