Modern
helicopters constitute less than 10% of the helicopters used by the
Russian armed forces, declared Monday the Deputy Prime Minister Russian
Sergueï Ivanov at a meeting of the military industrial Commission
of Russia.
Oshkosh Defense is committed to providing the best
protection and mobility to our Warfighters –
through the most threatening terrain, in the most
treacherous of circumstances. They deserve a vehicle
that is engineered specifically for their difficult
missions – to move them in and get them out
as safely as possible. They deserve the Oshkosh®
M-ATV.The Oshkosh M-ATV is designed to meet the
U.S. Armed Services’ urgent need requirement
for a well-protected vehicle than can thrive in
operations on Afghanistan’s rugged and mountainous
off-road terrain. In addition to meeting these mobility
demands, the Oshkosh M-ATV provides the superior
crew protection that military forces need by incorporating
an armor system from Plasan North America, which
developed the armor system in use on more than 5,000
current MRAP vehicles and for the Armored Cab Medium
Tactical Vehicle Replacements (MTVR) in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The US Department of Defense (DoD)
has begun deploying mine-resistant ambush-protected
(MRAP) all-terrain vehicles (M-ATVs) to Afghanistan
in October 2009 and now expects to order more systems
beyond its recent 5,244 requirement. These armoured
trucks are urgently needed to provide troops in
Afghanistan with the same blast protection as heavier
MRAPs but with increased mobility to handle the
difficult terrain there.
The
Oshkosh M-ATV can be fitted with a variety
of remote-controlled weapon stations.
