[@IlhamDefraN]

seems like it has very good protection against land mine, IED, or other form of blast from below the vehicle

[@urmumisaho69]

Agree, this looks like a useful platform for an expeditionary marine brigade

[@aayzym.producer5491]

I think good for IED but after mine maybe never riding Bcuse wheels so close together

[@jccalventefotografo853]

A lot of companies trying to do new 8x8 but there are many top quality models in Europe and other places, its a difficult market to come in.

[@Puzzoozoo]

Also to much choice for the nation customer, which one gets the contract, if all are more or less equal in capability?

[@jangrobler4470]

Import restrictions are a thing. Also local skill and market development should be developed when spending this amount of money . This cost of the European vehicles are way higher than the ones developed in country.

They will never get the level of a soviet BTR 60

a ambhibious apc in a desert? I am the only one who wonders for its use?

[@LDZMarder]

more people drownd in the destert than died form heat strokes. Even more funny more people have frozen to death in the destert then getting heat strokes. also if you take a look at the middle east you see they have plenty rivers and lakes.

[@manuelmamann5035]

@@LDZMarder Thx for this strategic information. Can you explain to me why west european nation going thin on amphibious vehicles? Bist du deutsch? I mean in germany the fuchs was amphibious and the boxer isnt. Russia seemms to be still interested in this capability. But russia is the superpower of lakes and rivers so.. Would be nice to hear your perspective. There was a german insident were soldiers dieed in afganistan because the fuchs was driving backwards into a water channel and drowned the insiders. SO what you say makes sense. And if your german i hope your patriotism isnt of the extreme side. Then i have to say. I still value you expertiese tho i also agree to disagree with you about geopolitics ;)

[@LDZMarder]

@@manuelmamann5035 I guess protection concerns outweigh the mobility advantages. From a certain tonnage no vehicle is buoyant and can float. Even the BMP3 cant be amphibious once you add all the addon armor. So Protection>Strategic Mobility. Also what goes with amphibious vehicles to say, its easy to get in the water but getting out of it is the problem. To the fuchs incident, they did drive backwards in to a ditch and flipped over and drownd. I dont think ships or apc´s are made to float when upside down.

[@manuelmamann5035]

@@LDZMarder Yeah the tonnage has grown. Protection is much greater these days- the dangers seems to be pretty high. They always look a bit fragile in water. I think with wind a no go. Thanks for reply.

@@manuelmamann5035 "Can you explain to me why west european nation going thin on amphibious vehicles?" Because the "wrong" lessons were learned from the Chechen Wars and the Iraq War. The previous generations of vehicles in use up until the 2000s were designed based on lessons learned from WW2, which people predicted would still apply if the Cold War ever got hot. The wars I mentioned at the beginning taught a lot about survivability and armored warfare in urban environments and low intensity conflicts, where the old design philosophy focused on mobility generally failed (remember, that design philosophy still functioned perfectly during the Gulf War). Modern vehicles are expected to be sitting ducks (under some conditions in which they might need to be used) and they are expected to have a higher probability of being hit by short range anti-armor weapons. And as you know, militaries typically prepare for the last war they fought, not the next one. You can bring down the tonnage a lot by removing the applique, if it's unnecessary or a liability, so you could argue that modern vehicles haven't lost all that much mobility overall, even if the amphibious capability is gone.

[@stefannell7195]

This vehicle was fully designed and certified for blast and landmine in South Africa.

[@unclesam9396]

Made in the UAE 🇦🇪
