But did they stretch it so they could see all its holes?
No, it was hit in the face with a cricket bat
@@kroxzul Repeatedly
Great callback!
No doubt
YES BOY. THE WELSH ARE REPRESENTING THE UK IN OPERATION RATTLESNAKE EXERCISE.. GOOD JOB BOYS
I'm from Upstate South Carolina , alot like the region where these vehicles are being tested . In my neck of the woods there are children tearing around trails on their fathers' hunting four wheelers similar to this but without as much kit . These kind of offroad vehcles are often used by hunters to access hunting areas without spooking game animals . I think a generation of youths grown up driving these sort of vehicles and adept at controlling drones via video games could be the future of mobile clandestine warefare.
Needs a machine gun and gunner/more 360 armor and at least a 10 vehicle unit.
It should carry two either modular or collapsible stretchers so the can be utilised for rain cover, putting them on the metal Panels used to put under the wheels if needed fjt traction, put them underneath the stretchers in the roof to stop rain entering the vehicle from above, rain at angles will still come in, or they could just use a tailor made camo roof tarp/cover.
Just watched the Royal Marines using them
We had Jeeps in World War 2….this will do nicely; you guys should have detachable plates on the side for armour for applying after the vehicle touches down on the field
I swear, everything is a "game changer" these days. One of the most overused phrases in the military.
Rovers and quads have been used successfully to do exactly the same thing as well a whole host of other vehicles. I'm pretty sure we re supped water and ammo as well as conducted casevacs in hot climates before... Not a game changer but probably fun to drive.
This comment is a game changer
Here’s another one: “caveat”.
Check out Matts off road recovery. He picks up smashed up RZR every week. Control arms and steering linkages all smashed up after a day out with tourists.
Looks a great idea
Hope they have better luck than I did. I had a 2016 800 Polaris . Blame thing was junk. Wiring to engine & cooling system, everthing was junk . Had friend bought 2017 it was junk too. Couldnt even ride them without fear they break down on us.
I love how that WO2 appears to have raided the American supply depot
Us brits need the kit and the Americans have got so much of it they don’t care if it gets taken, it’s a win win
Russians and Chinese intelligence furiously taking notes
A Polaris ATV thinking it's a WWII SAS jeep in North Africa 🤣
So down in Fort Puke (Our name for it) water consumption is yuge. But what about the water consumption of the Paras that went to Jordan? How much water are They drinking? Who is drinking more water per day? The Paras or the Welsh Cavalry?????
Modern light horse.
I got one in my garage
So NOW Sringer would be ideal. But we had a 1 tonne capability, far and away better than the RZR. And fully supported. Sabotaged by a single CSgt at Leconfield who jumped a laden Springer and broke both front axles ...
get a windscreen and some doors for starters
cool "offroady" introtrack @whoever edited thisone :)
Maybe you must check out the dutch special forces Vector,made be defenture
@Odd Ball i do know that 2 vectors fit in a ch-47,i i do think the vector is more mobile hens it 4 wheel steering,but maybe you are right,and the US special forces would like more a dedicate verhilcle,while the dutch special forces( because its a small force) need a more allronder
@Odd Ball that make sense,here the use alsow dirtbikes or quads,,the dutch special forces tested the vector on mission in Mali,the were verry satisfied,
Its good to no that all nato alies have a lot of verhicles to select from👍
UKRAINE COULD USE SUM OF THESE !!
does it come in black?
You'd think they'd spend some effort in making it a bit..you know...quieter!
Hey Max! I whole heartedly agree with you. They start that thing up at 01:00hrs, you'll be waking folk up Ten miles away! Noisy little blighter will get you killed.
Sounds like an Austin FX4 Taxi.
“Rick Shaw in winter 🥶 wear?”
Not sure I'd be overly-enthusiastic about driving that golf buggy looking vehicle around in hostile terrain, personally =/
Water 10 liters/day per Man ?. Is this Norm ? for western military personnel?
Yes, under extreme conditions. Fort Polk can be 100 degrees plus. Also, these guys are carrying at least 50 pounds of gear each, and hiking a few miles per day.
Heat casualties are always a problem, and a bad one can kill you, or leave you with organ damage.
Golf clubs in the back?
That’s the RAF version
Cute golf car
Noisy.
Yeah, this has absolutely zero chance of ever being used in a combat zone.
Electric for stealth, thats noisy as and unprotected
Electric has a high pitched whine that cant be silenced easily, where regular petrol engines can be extremely quiet with proper mufflers and resonance pipes
Where do the British design their vehicles?? no armor, no roof for rain to protect from the elements. This ain’t Halo and the warthog now. Just get a vechicle with a roof and windows ain’t hard to open the door.
It's designed by the US.
It for special forces, speed is top priority, not protection
@@PB-hr3hy that thing is not hitting 40mph plus

Plus, it’s small enough to be easily parachuted out of an aircraft or rolled out the back of a helicopter.
@@MrAttagon top speed is 60mph.
Extremely surprised the US would make this as IMO it's not the greatest desgin. Extremely open, no armor, no weapons, still get soaked by water. It seems like it would be the "golf carts" for higher ranking officers to travel at a base, but in a military version lol. Wouldn't really even be useful against 3rd world nations. I wonder what the US had in mind for these. More for export?
Tarps and plastic windshields are a thing, incase you've never used something like this before. you could mount a light machine gun on it probably. and yea it might have no armor but what it does have is better stability at high speeds and less ground pressure so it cant get stuck in light mud.
