The British have a long time love to open driver and front shooter positions since the ww2 when Universal Carrier was employed! I do get to understand the concept, but I would feel safer if the front panel was actually capable of shielding me from incoming rounds
@@51ghostrecon Well they are not unprotected, but the threats they offer protection from are mines/IEDs and the like. Now, they are meant for scouting/patroles or recce operations, and from that there are different needs. As an example, if you are in an inclosed car, your line of sight, and more importantly your hearing is obssured... It sounds kinda like a joke, but the ability to hear an enemy movement can be a significant asset.
So badass these. . . . Unfortunately I have seen what happens when they get rocked by ieds. We had to pick up a few of these out in afghan once and let me tell you. . . Messy
As far as I can work out when these things get hit by an IED, the armor turns to shrapnel and everyone takes a shower in raw slivers and you get sent home in a pot rather than a coffin. I've only talked to Dragoons and they will tell you there's no good way to die in a tank, these things are less tank, more dying.
I had that HMS Armed Forces Jackal when i was a kid, probably still have it somewhere stored away. Had the Harrier, Quad, Apache and a Challenger 2, that intro brings back memories
i can confirm that denmark is indeed one of the buyers, as our special forces had several of them with the driver sitting in the left side instead of the right that the brits use.
I think Delta Operators used this in the initial siege of Kandahar back in 2001-2002. Either it, or something extremely similar is mentioned in the book The Only Thing Worth Dying For.
The driver's job is pretty damn crucial, as he's the one effecting the egress when you need to GTFO ten minutes ago. We always had an unwritten rule: NEVER hassle the wheelman!
This is probably my favorite opening you've done for one of your videos so far, Matt. Truly fascinating. Always loved how these things look and operate. Cheers.
funny thing is i saw this and whent immidiately "THATS SO CLOSE TO WHAT IVE BEEN TRYING TO DESIGN!" ive been trying to create a tauros paratrooper vehicle concept. but hey that means i get more stuff to draw inspiration.
I seen 6 Jackal's in Malcolm Western Australia on the Kookynie-Malcolm Road, traveling at a great rate of knots. Driven by the British SAS (info I got from the local Police) doing maneuvers in the area. Though in my mind I thought they looked longer than the ones in this vid. Well thanks, now I know what type of vehicles they were. Ps I was driving a freight train at the time.
see the RSOV (Ranger special operations vehicle). a land rover defender 110 used by the US rangers after they saw the British using them in the first gulf war. The RSOV influenced the WMIK kit for British land rovers and ultimately the jackal. I would not be surprised if the US has a few jackals.
I get the idea of this vehicle being 'open topped' better all round visibility, the ability to possibly hear the enemy etc, fair enough, but that could all still be achieved with the added protection of a ballistic windscreen, door side ballistic glass.
Apparently, every troop is always equipped with one Jackal mounting a 5,000 watt audio system with a blind, spary painted guy chained to front wailing on an Electric Guitar!
This goes back to the open trucks of the Long Range Desert Patrol who operated over super long distances into the rear of German and Italian position for both strikes and road watch duty. Carry a camo net and tarp for hide and rest. Other than that keep eye balls on swivels.
It's the modern WMIK Rover, even though they have zero protection for the crew, soldiers prefer SA to being cooped up inside vehicles like that. Slap a .50 Cal or a 40mm GMG on it and the trusty Gimpy on the front and you're good to go... plus, it's fast....... proper fast!! I think it gets poo pooed because people don't understand what it's supposed to be used for, it's basically a recon vehicle and it's perfect for this role.
People seem confused and I can see why.. To put in context (with my opinion on it) - the Army got absolutely hammered for Land Rover soldier losses due to specifically a lot of IED and IED threat. In terms of recon - as was said early, the core request was SAS. If you examine SF usage, they want agile, speed, hitting power (for the size of vehicle). So, if you treat these as recon land rovers that have an aspect of protection against IED, and go anywhere ability + being air liftable - it makes sense. Some people below talk about armour. True, but for every ton of armour, you get more compromise. You get heavy, you get slower, you need more horsepower, you need more fuel, you get less range. Bottom line, if this vehicle faces a big enough IED, or if it faces full contact, the outcome may not go well. What do you want? an 80 ton monster to do Recce? My only issue is the lack of weather cover to be honest. I would imagine these people pretty grim if you are in hours of bad weather. Dumb question of the day - do they come with a hot water vessel?
As an American, I declare that it doesn't have enough wheels. Needs six or eight wheels. Some armor overhead would be a good idea too, although all you Canadians with frozen brains probably don't care about the weather... Of course, I love rolling around in an FJ Cruiser, so can probably go just about anywhere this thing can - but in comfort. Love the grenade launcher mod, I really admire belt fed artillery.
To think, they could've bought _ten thousand_ FJ Cruisers for what they spent on this vehicle... And I'm sure Toyota would've gladly thrown the "Heckler & Koch Automatic Grenade Launcher + Bang & Olufsen sound system with triple CD-changer" upgrade package in there for free, to sweeten the deal 😄
Looks like a great vehicle. Something the SAS and LRDG would have loved this fast, highly mobile vehicle with guns bristling, and highly mine and ied protected.
All these comments saying 'no protection, dangerous, useless' etc and yet the operational feedback from actual combat totally refutes and disproves this. Stick to watching videos kids, it's where you all belong.
Yeah I don't know about that. Being exposed to the elements accelerates fatigue and lowers morale. Imagine getting rained on for a week straight probably been crawling up some muddy hills for LP/OPs and not getting any actual sleep. Yeah I would take a honda accord over this thing.
I can see the advantages with this vehicle. In the role it's designed for, Recon, you've got good visibility low profile and decent get out of Dodge Firepower. The only thing I don't like is if there is an IED being open, the crew will be fully exposed to the pressure waves that result other than from directly below. In the event of a fire, bailout is a piece of cake. One of the things Israelis actually liked about the World War II M3 white half track, when they got hit they could get out of them fast. And good all-around visibility. A used rim for a long time after the 67 War
The driver and front seat operator are directly above the front road wheels which makes them highly vulnerable to landmines and IEDs, much more so than you suggest.
It is a typically British vehicle..start with a grease nipple and keep adding pieces of various sizes and shapes until it can move under its own power! I hope the crew gets Kevlar raincoats for some protection from the elements and other nasty's!
Even leaving aside vulnerability to fire, exposure to the elements must cause a loss of crew effectiveness. Couldn't they at least have given it a proper windshield and a folding roof to keep the sun / rain off the driver and commander?
Y'know this vehicle is built for recce right? And you do realize that recce troops usually go on foot over long distances right? And you do realize that over these long distances, they are constantly being hit by the elements such as rain, wind, snow, etc etc right?
it reminds me of the ww2 scout/bren gun carrier (the version of the universal carrier modified for scouting) but with wheels instead of tracks. both have driver and machine-gunner up front. both have a centrally mounted MG-guner and engine, and with rear and side stoage, both open topped with armour where there are hull walls. edit: but even more so the ww2 italian AS-42 long range recon jeep.
This role is the one I want to join the army for. Yeah tanks are cool but the jackal looks like a hell of a lot of fun to be deployed in Satan’s toilet bowl situations
You need to have some form of cover from the elements and from the enemies fire . Being exposed to the rain, cold and bullets could lead to hypothermia, lead poisoning and bad decisions.
Noticed my old Brigades patch “The Desert Rats” of 7th Armoured Brg” based at the time in Fallingbostel Germany & is a famous British Army organisation
Back in the days motorcycles could be used for scouting, and couriers, and running messages. But now we have radios and aerial reconnaissance so there are options that just does the job better. Not to say they are to be discounted all together. Terrorist and Criminals have used motorcycles to carry out hit and run and assassinations. But when used in this manner they tend to be a 2 man team. A driver and a gunner. It was so bad that Indonesia banned more than 2 occupants on a motorcycle and violent crime dramatically dropped.
@@Marinealver I was thinking low key surveillance. I know they were used by the enemy in Afghanistan. Not sure if the regular army would still use them. Maybe special forces dressed as a local. The reason I was wondering if the regular army may use them was for the ability for lower battlefield signature and high speed escape although the use of drones replaces the need for older methods. I know the British still prefers human surveillance a little more than the Americans.
I have served in them. what amazes me are the moronic armchair generals that come up with shit that it just would not be placed or tasked too do. Sure they have less protection but it is a hell of a step up from the Land Rover WMIK that it directly replaced. as a light reccy and gun carrier vehicle.
the funny thing is, I used to avoid and dislike those types of vehicles when buying gi joes. I thought it was too easy to snipe my guys off, and it did nt look, or sound realistic enough... and now I see this! lol. hey, good show Mat!
The Cummins 5.9L engine is legendary in the US truck/diesel world and can easily be upgraded for more HP/Torque, while not losing it's dependability. The ONLY reason the larger 6.7L was developed was to maintain similar HP/Torque ratings while being in compliance with more stringent emissions legislation from both US and EU.
All around visibility. It is not good for close combat. People can toss a grenade in really easy. This was why the American Military after World War I went to full cover vehicles. If you look back at things like the Hellcat or the Greyhound the turrets were wide open at the top four all-around visibility.
@TheGoat I don't like that term Gucci technical! The only thing I noticed is the turret is manually operated. I wonder how much weight it would add to make it electrical.
@@winterwar5583 Yes, we get exactly the same comments like this one on similar Russian stuff. God, not everything is going to have three feet of mega armour around it. Many military vehicles are designed with mobility in mind, to get in and out quickly. Recon vehicles are by their very nature lightly armoured because mobility is the prime requirement.
Why the hell would this be sent too look for armour? that's not its job. that is what Ajax/CVRT is for. CBRN worry got a respirator then put it on when required or send in FUCHS to do its job in CBRN reccy
Hi Matt, would be greatly appreciated , your thoughts on the Australian Bushmaster, sometime in your hectic future. Merry Christmas, keep up the great work. cheers.
Not used in "urban environments" much....it's designed to operate in the wide open areas like Afghanistan....although they are using them on deployment in Estonia...they are more adapted for desert /arid climates..... And just so you know....a sniper...generally doesn't engage multiple vehicles with heavy weapons on board.....these aren't"t used as a single vehicle...at MINIMUM. A two vehicle patrol....more often in a Troop or even Half Squadron sized element....speed...mobility....ability to see and hear...and ability to extricate themselves if they get into the rubbarb.... That makes for a good recce vehicle

Exactly ‼️ Why have a Vehicle like this, but the Soldiers Unprotected ‼️⁉️🤔
I'm no expert, but this vehicle strikes me as one that offers the personnel it transports minimal protection.
It’s not designed for fighting it’s a recce vehicle with the capability to get itself out a tight spot
The UC was a piece of crap
@@51ghostrecon Well they are not unprotected, but the threats they offer protection from are mines/IEDs and the like.

So badass these. . . . Unfortunately I have seen what happens when they get rocked by ieds. We had to pick up a few of these out in afghan once and let me tell you. . . Messy
I thought the whole point of these was to sacrifice protection from bullets to add more protection from IED’s
So compared to MRAPs how are they?
As far as I can work out when these things get hit by an IED, the armor turns to shrapnel and everyone takes a shower in raw slivers and you get sent home in a pot rather than a coffin. I've only talked to Dragoons and they will tell you there's no good way to die in a tank, these things are less tank, more dying.
I saw these vehicles in Afghanistan and thought: 'When Mad Max got into making military vehicles'.
Yet another British military vehicle that looks like it’s being driven backwards.
Just like the Archer lol
I’m sure it functions well. But, it’s just plain ugly.
Q: If the Jackal is completely open, how do you keep the insurgents from stealing your stereo and speakers?
Inquiring minds want to know... 🖒😎
Hire a small Afghan boy to throw rocks at suspicious characters
That's why it has a long gun on top
Stay away from Liverpool.

i can confirm that denmark is indeed one of the buyers, as our special forces had several of them with the driver sitting in the left side instead of the right that the brits use.
@tacfoley i guess its either an old habit thats hard to shake or maby a case of, if it works then dont fix it ?
@tacfoley Having a gun on the side facing oncoming vehicles doesn't seem like a bad idea to me.
I think Delta Operators used this in the initial siege of Kandahar back in 2001-2002. Either it, or something extremely similar is mentioned in the book The Only Thing Worth Dying For.
You think wrong.
I see they went with the design philosophy of making the gunner a part of the roll cage.
The body of the gunner getting squished should absorb some of the impact, Thus protecting the rest of the vehicle.
According to the accountants a squaddie is easier to replace than a vehicle. And the accountants are always correct
One of those other three countries is 100% Australia. I've seen the Jackal around Perth WA.
Australia licence built a small amount of them at Dunheved in western Sydney, you used to see them on the road all the time.
Always love the content Mat!!! Please keep it up. This style of video of yours is my absolute favorite.

Say what you want about its protection, but you cant deny it is one sexy ass vehicle
I heard American special forces bought some after seeing the brits using them

Made parts for the prototypes for these. :)
How is it compared to the German Wiesel1 or 2?
If it can be airlifted. Can it be airdropped?
Canadian SF have access to these.
The off riding ability looks top notch, but, WTH were they thinking regarding crew protection ???
Snipers dream vehicle....
Yes, this vehicle looks *very* British...unmistakably so.
One of my mates almost cut his finger off removing the front wheel arch armour on one of these.
Looking at the gunner on back!
He's on good hi-kip !!🤣🤣🤣
Wow I’ve never seen that vehicle before pretty incredible
Great video
Looks like a sniper’s dream - minimal protection for crew in urban environment. Any soldiers here have a view? Looks top heavy too.
Not used in "urban environments" much....it's designed to operate in the wide open areas like Afghanistan....although they are using them on deployment in Estonia...they are more adapted for desert /arid climates.....
And just so you know....a sniper...generally doesn't engage multiple vehicles with heavy weapons on board.....these aren't"t used as a single vehicle...at MINIMUM. A two vehicle patrol....more often in a Troop or even Half Squadron sized element....speed...mobility....ability to see and hear...and ability to extricate themselves if they get into the rubbarb....
That makes for a good recce vehicle
