14 British Army Oshkosh HET (Heavy Equipment Transporter) seen returning Challenger 2 Tanks & CRARRV vehicles to their home base, after a routine exercise. Subscribe for regular content!
when i left school in 1981 i started training as a mechanic on the new YOP scheme at REME in Bordon Hampshire. i worked on all sorts of vehicles from a ford escort staff car to cheiftan tanks. i got to see the very first 2 prototype challenger 1 tanks. it was the best 6 months of my life. Sadly the army moved out of the town round 10 years ago. seeing APC 432's 's driving up and down the main road was an everyday occourance
The British variant uses the Caterpillar C-18 engine, an 18.1l six-cylinder in-line turbocharged and after-cooled diesel power unit that can produce 700hp.
What make are these transporters and who makes them , I can remember when they used to be thornycroft would love to see just stop oil protesters sit down or slow walk in front of one of these when they come round a bend.
Man i wish i can learn how to drive these. Just looks awesome! What is the gross weight of this ? Any chance to see them somehow on a truck show or somewhere? I would love to show these to my son 😊
@t.l.robinson2162 looks like you done this before. Hats off if to you it's easy. Unfortunately I have no experience with truckdriving. Especially with this type of a truck . This is lot heavier, wider and longer than a regular truck...but damn it looks good. 😳 in the future I'm maybe going to get my licence. But to be honest I watching lots of trucking video and doesn't matter is it in Europe or US in every video drivers says trucking just not as good as in the past. Too many idiots on the road they say. Too many senseless rules they have to follow so this just make me hesitate.
@WarMachineTV-nr3jn 82?! That is like a weight of a smaller locomotive! Wow! That is awesome. I just try to imagine to operate a monster with that load! 🙂
@@WarMachineTV-nr3jn They are also driven by civilians that are contracted to the Army and when they are not being used the drivers work for Tesco distribution.
@@WarMachineTV-nr3jn FTX is a company owned by the mod. they own the trucks and carry out most day to day movings of vehicles. Black plate hets are operated by army and normally fill in gaps where FTX cannot man, or when its live ops and training exercies

What are the engines in those big trucks ?
The British variant uses the Caterpillar C-18 engine, an 18.1l six-cylinder in-line turbocharged and after-cooled diesel power unit that can produce 700hp.
Hell those big Cats sound good . That's surely some impressive heavy haulage transport technology going on there .
Does the British Army still use the older style more angular type of Oshkosh?
They still use the smaller tractor unit which mainly tow fuel & water tankers, however I have seen them with a low loader trailer as well!

They are not hard to drive they have an automatic transmission. You have to pay close attention and have your CDL if you plan to tow 26,000 pounds.

@@GodDamnItCarl Fantastic thank you!
@@GodDamnItCarl That’s some weight! Cheers 👍
Bloody Hell. Looks like the shits gonna hit the fan.
it's just a training excercise in the uk nothing to do with ukr
If they were actually moving them to UKR you wouldn't have footage of it.
Why are they on civilian plates?
They are leased via a civilian company I believe.
correct, the transport company and their drivers are ex-military .
