We had one visit us at our unit a few months back. Pretty cool looking vehicle. Local police (training at our building) saw it. wanted one! LOL. It is massive but street legal.
The TAPV was built in response to an Urgent Operational Requirement notice issued by the government during the conflict in Afghanistan. The army needed a route-proving and patrol vehicle in a hurry and got the TAPV to fill the role. However, by the time the army actually started receiving the TAPVs, the conflict in Afghanistan was pretty much over. The TAPV is essentially an upgraded, up-armoured version of the M1117 armoured vehicle that is primarily used by US Army military police units for route-proving and patrol duties in a combat environment. Both vehicles are a derivation of the Cadillac Gage Commando armoured vehicle, which was designed in the early 1960s and was widely used during the Vietnam War. The tall height profile of the TAPV and lack of armament make it a mediocre reconnaissance vehicle at best. While it has greater mobility that the Coyote reconnaissance vehicle it is replacing, it can't keep up with the Canadian Army's Leopard tanks. It's better employed in reserve armoured reconnaissance units as a training vehicle and as a vehicle that has good mobility in disaster situations. Indeed, more TAPVs seem to be finding their way into reserve units, which is a good thing, but somewhat unusual as reserve units tend to get Regular Force cast-offs. During the severe springtime flooding that happened in New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario, the TAPV was used to great effect because of its high ground clearance and mobility.
Many shortcomings in the design and has few practical applications. Unfortunately the Canadian procurement systems is "design by committee" and 7+yrs long so the military continually gets saddled with useless kit designed by people who live and work in an office. Useless piece of kit.
The TAPVs have Excellent protection, excellent firepower, great speed, good handling, great offroad abilities and an engine that you can BARELY hear. Very stealthy. The height of the vehicle is a minor issue. It is perfectly capable of recce. Anyone who says otherwise doesnt know what they are talking about.
Just an old, Vietnam War era Cadillac Gage M706 armoured car. Garbage. The Canadian soldiers are getting screwed over again with inferior, obsolete equipment.
I think this vehicle is more for reserve units to practice the recce role. The reg force will us it more for a general purpose vehicle, I hope. I thought I read somewhere that there will be new versions of the LAV III to replace the Cyottee in the recce role.
Loud & Clear Warrant... absolute fantasy...This is in no stretch, a viable forward area battlefield platform. As you know, this is no more than just a re-up from what was originally designed as a 'Military Police Suppression Vehicle' in Nam, 1,000 years ago. TAPV is Flippin 2ft higher than a Leopard MBT. The CF Recce Sqn up-grade was a no-brainer🦧. 1/..66+ Coyote II on the LAV 6.0, built-in London, hello Louisianna. 2/..500+ Haaglunds BvS 10 Viking, in order to actually properly equip every unit from Windsor to Iqaluit (It's Canada stupid). 3/..120+ CV-90 MK IVs, with varients, once offered to Canada, for operations in KAF, for a song, as an A/..as an alternative Armoured Rgt. Sqn, B/..as a Mech Bde's 1st Btn carrier, C/..as a CER Sqn asset. Slain te' an' Happy Hogmanay🍻
What unit are you with? The Brits were using Rover Defenders as light off-track deep recce in Helmand..ring them up & tell them they don't know what they're doing.
Canada needs hundreds of thousands of these

No joke. I think i saw this same type of car pass by on the street when i was waiting for the bus.
Looks like a solid upgrade!
But how well do they lay line in the fields !?
Seems kind of high off the ground for a recon vehicle, I thought the idea of recon was to stay concealed. Looks like it would roll easy.
P&K Rustics it’s for IED protection .... the coyotes do recc
@@tclem14 This is intended to replace the coyote; recce troops are being kitted with them also.
It did roll and it killed someone

We had them for like 3 years already
Gabriel Martin ummm it's a 2017 model these are new
Why not label the doors as "Doors" like they labeled the OBVIOUS tow eyes? Or did they at 3:17
Music is annoying
Bonjour
Will the tires withstand a bullet?
of course
Do you mean cost per vehicle?

David Thegan It's updated from the old versions..
Extremely familiar with the TAPV. The currently grounded TAPV fleet and its shortcoming from an operational point of view.
In combat i wonder if the tires withstand a bullet.
@@johnfitzgerald1192 pretty sure they’re runflat tires. Very much doubt they have much if any bullet resistance.

RED EYES... nice song
Beautiful!!
NO pictures. I am watching video.
Pilippines army needs this
when did arma 3 happen?
Why rubber tires..so vunurable
Too many exposed lines of different type, small arms fire can disable.
Design for civil unrest and/or flood rescue...

It isn't that bad. The Royal Canadian Navy is _far_ worse.
infinitecanadian - Don't expect things to get better with a Trudeau government. That idiot hasn't got a clue.
SuperSix Delta No, they had major upgrades.
infinitecanadian It's not their fault prices are so high.
SuperSix Delta ... He tried getting new ships but they where too expensive so they modernized them
Nice. Music is kinda lame though.
Recce that's a joke can't see sneaking up on anyone in that big monster you could see it for miles.

This is a copy of Russian amphibious light tactical vehicle but this is more larger and it have similarity in chassis
L - No stupid. Not even close.
SuperSix Delta how about the German ferret huh?
Nope, this is a Textron vehicle built in the USA.
I think its made in Canada
@@user-se3nz2wy1e You mean the Iltis? it's been done and they had their time this one looks better equiped to handle more then our lil iltis did...
Way better than doing recce on a G wagen lol that piece of garbage folds like a tin can
What unit are you with?
