That bloke loves his truck :D
I bet we will love it when we touch one
quiet British “person”
They should have taken Sian for a ride. It's mindblowing how powerful and nimble the JLTV really is.
This is the vehicle the British Army has decided it needs and has paid Oshkosh to integrate UK specific kit into the vehicle build. The potential order is worth $1 Bn for some 2,400 vehicles.
If it’s for the Brits, it has to have a tea maker on board.
@@thomasgalyen6757 Yeh that's why they added the kettle output so the US can export to us :)
This replacing the Ajax?
Hawkei is better.
@@phooogle it's replacing a whole bunch of vehicles like the already withdrawn panther & vector and soon to be withdrawn ocelot/foxhound
Can’t even imagine what 10 level maintenance is like for that beast
On-board diagnostics simplify the matter. Plus, drivers get about forty hours of training on this critter. Mechanics get about 80 hours. Hopefully, gone are the days of "drive it around the motor pool and here is yer license."
@@Buck123four Sounds really expensive
Expect to see the civvy version blocking the school gates whilst young Tarquin and Cressida are being dropped off soon.
The ultimate douch canoe for people with more money than brains. They are around $400,000 so probably won't sell like the Hummer. Probably be huge in the "social media influencer" community.
@@brentb5303 it’s expensive now but once more contracts are ordered and if they go the hummer route and offer a civilian version that price will go down. I can see it go down to $100k if that’s the case. But that’s not relevant tbh. I don’t think this vehicle would be a road legal production vehicle as is right now.
@@kolinmartz It IS "road legal" as is depicted...
Atheists, always with a nice dose of pessimism
@@danzo5521 - Absolutely!👍
If it saves lives and destroys the enemy no problem.
Russian and Chinese with ATGM and RPG be like
@@aizseeker3622 allow me to introduce myself 🇨🇳 🇷🇺
@@aizseeker3622 M-1, Bradleys, & Apaches will take care of the roosian & chineeeese "combat vehicles." Fact.
I know we are potentially ordering some of these vehicles, but it will be years before they get delivered.
Meanwhile the majority of the British Army *still* have ancient Land Rovers, or leased Ford Rangers! Seriously, they're leasing pickup trucks because its cheaper than maintaining a fleet of Land Rovers!
The land rovers are only used to taxi around bases in the UK. They will never be deployed in an active theatre again.
@@Weakeyedominant Yeah, they’ll lease Toyotas for overseas deployments :)
I would insist on a retro flair-side Ford pick-up. Don't settle.
Panther, Foxhound and Jackal fill largely the same roles to my knowledge and none of those are comparable to a land rover
Nice piece of kit. Lot of maintenance? Who last had the key for the "Masterlock"? Where is it now?
Any ideas for a nickname for this new mobile humvee replacement?
it's so high tech, it got cheap Chinese locks on the doors
Somos do Brasil.....quando puder por legenda em português
The good thing about having the same kit on joint training/operations is that you can always prof spares from each other !
Its top speed is 77mph, check out Task & Purpose channel for a full review of the heavy armoured version.
Ah, a socket for a kettle. Good to see the Americans are catching on to how crucial a good cup of tea is for effective soldiering, something the Brits have known for decades if not centuries.
It really comes down to what the tires can take. They look thick .will it stop several 7.62's ?
Armorred Humvee didnt care what u saying 😅 , why u guys talks like its not in natural life. Do you believe in God almighty ?? U guys stole humvee and each blueprint through political journey and at afghanistan
That's my 1st sgt now wtf I didn't know he got interviewed
I can't believe 3rd Brigade was the first to get these.
I guess they didn't get to drag you brits up to ol' Peason Ridge. That's a bit disappointing. :-/
It's also known as Tigerland. :-)
I want one 🥰
Looks like the Batmobile..Hooah!
Wonder how that ride height gets controlled. Weather it’s air or a pneumatic system.
Air or "PNEUMATIC?" Pneumatic: "...containing or operated by air or gas under pressure...." Perhaps you meant something else?
It is both. It has air bags to adjust height and hydraulic shocks
@@TheJttv I had guessed it was likely a redundant system.
So a 65mph portable kettle, as long as its 110v. Nice! (although this can not be confirmed or denied). Oh, someone give S/Sgt Skinner a medal too for getting the word 'right' in the monologue enough times. Right!
Yeah but can it handle a proper British kettle at 220v ?
@@koolyman exactly!
Lets suppose sgt skinner is a fighter not a PR person...right?
@@knowsmebyname who’s Sgt Skinner?
@@dylantrinder1571 the guy doing the presentation. Daniel skinner. Sgt i think.
Where are the rest of the episodes? This is the last out of 9, no conclusion?
That's a cool ass vehicle right.
Staff Sgt is a such a dork and he swol.
knowing the Army the rest of the regular Army MIGHT see them by 2050. And that's if they are lucky.
Nah. They were being used by units in Iraq in 09-10. I know that, because I was there 09-10, and got to see a plain jane regular infantry unit rolling them on FOB Delta. :-)
My unit however, a Cavalry unit, were rolling around in Uparmored HMMWV's and MRAP's. :-P
@@AflacMan13 JLTV wasn't fielded until 2019. It looks similar to the MRAP-ATV...the same company builds both.
@@Buck123four Ooooh. I looked them up, I see the differences. You are correct. Thank you for correcting my incorrect knowledge. :-)
Ok
Whats wrong with the Foxhound?
I was thinking the same. Why have one vehicle with a v shaped hull and one with out? It’s like luck of the draw whichever one you’re patrolling in.
If you had ever been in a foxhound you wouldnt be asking this question.
Can’t sell cars? Join the Army, right!
Million pound vehicle secured with a Poundland padlock ~ great acquisition!
Right up the MOD`s chain of thinking...
well, a padlock and several trained killers.
The padlock keeps The Marines out.

Right. Right. Right. RIGHTT
Sad thing is, the USA will probably spend more in this RV than the UK will on upgrading its main battle tank fleet. Still, at least we won't be giving them to the Taliban.
Lol we had those in Musaqala in 2010. IED threat was so high at the time that unless you were running on black top, you were walking........ nothing new.
Edit: It was the M-ATV built by Oshkosh.
JLTV wasn't fielded until 2019. It looks similar to the MRAP-ATV...the same company builds both.
@@Buck123four You are Correct George, after further research and and looking at photos. The vehicles we used were the M-ATV built by Oshkosh.
The US Army is cutting JLTV numbers and looking for a lighter HumVee equivalent. The JLTV was built for Afghanistan and Iraq, and not for island-hopping lightning-fast campaigns needed for Pacific campaigns and Eastern European landscape.
This vehicle was NOT built for any specific place...was built to be used in ANY environment. Could be used in the Pacific OR in Europe, or anywhere else. (Lightning fast? Mebbe the 75th Ranger Regt, OR the 82nd Airborne. Those are about the only "Strategic deployable" units the Army has.)
No tapering at the bottom?
That surprised me after what they learned from Humvees..
Did you even watch the video? They fully explained what the deal is for ied.
It has a v Hull
JLTV PASED extensive blast protection & small arms fire testing with ease. What it "LOOKS" like isn't really important.
Nice dress code madam 😂😂...spec force black

Are these to replace all the ones they left in afghan for the isis?
Whatever’s in that open trunk area seems to be exposed to the elements. I would hate to have to carry a soaking wet or muddy ruck sack.
WATERPROOF bags were invented hundreds of years ago....
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Pantesan hamve pads ditinggal di afghanistan, ternyata udah ada yg baru
Is this a sales pitch?🤔
Being a mechanic, and hoping these things are designed with repairs in mind. makes me worry about all the electronic components involved in these beasts.

"I also carry a spare tyre in my pouches, which are of course located on my chest".
This is want a army should look ilke not ilke want we got with China and Russia we need more
Look at all that stuff on the front of his body armour to smash him in the face if he ever steps on an ied
Way to many gizmos and gadgets to go wrong whe miles from re supply.
Can the Brits have these instead of the Land Rovers - IEDS exist.
Right? right...
NONE are there.
awesome, so new toys for taliban ?
Not in Afghanistan and won’t be, at least for now
@@jtheurp9101 soon
@@Czecher86 The US just left the Taleban loads of weapons, vehicles and thermal goggles. Hundreds of millions of $ worth of equipment just left there.
@@v4skunk739 Isis wants some as well..
None of these have been used in Afghanistan stupid. And if we did use them in Afghanistan we would take then home for us.
How is it going to face the us500 chinese made drones.
Wow you could build a new school with that money
How many are you going to give to the taliban.
None. 0.00000.
Dislike the air suspension, single bullet can take out the entire suspension if it hits a line, would have used traditional shocks, but that's my only issue with it. But the US makes the best military equipment in the world, so im sure it will be great.
Never understood why the 3rd Brigade of the 10th Mountain was stationed in Ft Polk with no mountains or snow. What a stupid decision.
Light Infantry powers through all terrain. Besides we got sent to the mountains to train in that environment before Afghanistan.
@@Aximili55 Of course, but you would think the dedicated mountain warfare division would be located next to mountains. How much money and time did it cost flying 3rd IBCT to a place with mountains just to get mountain warfare training? When it would make more sense to have the 10th switch duty stations with 4th ID which really has no requirement to be proficient in any kind of terrain. There's enough room at Carson for three whole brigades to get mountain AND arctic warfare training all year round without even having to leave the state the division is located in, plus they'd get hands on access to training with the 10th SFG. At that point you could probably move the Army's mountain warfare school to Colorado too. 4th ID will be none the wiser with 2 brigades at Drum and 1brigade at polk- they don't need regular mountain or arctic training to do their job well. Saves the army money while .asking sure the long neglected 10th mountain gets the training it needs way more often.
They might even bring back the 4th IBCT of the 10th Mountain, and make a mountain warfare course mandatory for all new joins to the unit.
@@cm-pr2ys 10th Mountain Division is a "mountain division" in name only. When it was activated in the 1980s, it was either 10th MTN OR 7th ID. Senator Bob Dole - who was in the 10th MTN during WW2, was a very powerful Senator, so the naming game went for the 10th MTN Div. Rightfully, should have been the 7th ID.
@@Buck123four Well thanks for the info but what the heck! That makes no sense, either we have a dedicated mountain warfare division or we don't
@@cm-pr2ys All light divisions have the same basic capabilities; 82nd, 101st, 10th MTN, ONCE they arrive in the AO. Biggest difference is the 82nd can deploy by air & parachute in...which they rarely do. Could reduce 82nd to one brigade parachute & the other 2 air-land, but the Army would conjure up 1,000 reasons against that, few of them valid.
yeah the taliban give it a good review...
Duh...none are in Afghanistan.
These have already been used in Afghanistan years ago...
That was the latv not the jltv
@@jtheurp9101 whats the difference between the two?
@@basemanawakens6089, two letters. 😉
@@Chilly_Billy 🤣 good one.
That's the MATV and it's way bigger
Is it me, or does this guy not know much about the JLTV??
Dude didnt even show her the back seat, whats wrong with this soldier?
😂 some officer, get me an NCO with a 3rd grade literacy level, I need him to give complicated presentation.
Right?
how in the hell are soldiers supposed to low-crawl or get low in the prone with all of that junk on their front?
Waste of money what wars they fighting? 😆
the war against the tax payer
If you haven't been noticing a lot of militaries have been updating there equipment. The US, Russia, China, France, just to name a few. This vehicle has been slowly replacing the humvee for years now.
Still in Syria Iraq all over Africa,
So you're saying to be ill-equipped in the event of conflict? Brilliant national policy.
@@Chilly_Billy no it's a good idea to keep expanding their debt until their currency collapses, but at least they'll have tanks defending Israel.
How can you have more hype for another militaries equipment, but reservations and boredom for our own??
Really not help fight the UK is a USA colony arguement.
MOD: Babe time for another budgets cut
British military: (-_-;) yes honey
I hate this vehicle. it looks odd with the bonnet clearly not fitting to the rest of the vehicle, that's usually an indication for bad engineering all around, it's only a 4x4 so it will get stuck in mud, meaning it will only be useful for roads and middle eastern operations and it's too small to carry much of anything but somehow still too wide meaning it will have trouble getting anywhere other than where large tanks and large 8x8 can go anyway. so this vehicle doesn't seem to serve a purpose it's just legacy hardware replacement for the hummer. a sign how inflexible the US military has become. instead of going with the times they seem to be unable to change the organizational setup so they just do expensive 1 to 1 replacement programs now. they could have called this hummer 2.0 because that's all this is with all it's problems and shortcomings.
Mar I havent thought it through as well as you have but my initial impression is that it is not worth the money. What does it cost? 4 soldiers? Yikes.
Yeah this vehicle design for low heavy combat for enemy with little to no AT weapon. Now the military shift to russia and china this vehicle weight and IED protection is useless when they can just straight up use ATGM and RPG to kill it instead of poor man IED. There is rumor Army that decide to upgrade Humvee instead replace it all
@@knowsmebyname Even using Stryker IED protection is better choice since it better armor and cargo space instead creating new vehicle that cant take a hit from HMG for future conflict
What problems? The ground pressure on it( especially with the air suspension and tire inflation system) is significantly better than a humvee, and it is way more adaptable than the humvee to different terrain
JLTV has superb off-road capability; will run circles around ANY HMMWV, & has a 3,500 or 5,100 payload. Oshkosh makes nearly ALL of DoDs vehicles, so "how it looks" isn't a valid assessment tool. Its a lot bigger than HMMWV...which was bigger than the M151 jeep.
