The EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle)

[pasajero0o]

Russian vehicle gets stuck in places where American not reach. No offense, but it's true) This technique is simple and reliable. Suppose she has many disadvantages, but the advantages it has, no less.

[OliviaSST]

I thought it was to replace the LAV as well.

[oldrumer4u]

Figures, Sect of Defense stalled the EFV for now he's worried about the cost, and the Joint strike fighter as well , I guess he wants us to hand over our U S Consitution next, the Declaration of Indepedence also. Our national defense is all that matters, why are we Taking this from Washington and it buracrats,figure this, how much does it take to keep a low life politician in office.... Millions

[reodk]

I hear this just got scraped for the marines.

[DCBakerEsq60]

The GenDyn program is now dead. Another casualty of DD budget cuts.

Military Minute

[Ome99]

The pentagon is "poised" to cancel this project now according to the latest news.

[hotrod4you2]

why in hell would it take 3 billion in tax dollar's to build e.f.v? CHINA has already build there's and i bet it cost so so little cash, 3 billion it sounds like a milking of the tax payers,the u.s can do this and build that, but not the u.s CAN NOT BUILD A EFV IN 21 YRS AND 3 billion who has allow all this milking to go on,f-22 would probley cost half that IF THEY TRY TO BUILD IT GOOD AND FAST AS POSSIBLE? THE SHAME

[Wendigo127]

@hotrod4you2

China shit sucks they focus on mass production not quality just like the Russians

[Robloxsaltytaco1234]

@Wendigo127 True. The China Type 99 is quantity over quality. The Russians also choose Quantity over Quality.

[mcglaven]

Is there some regulation that requires all military machinery to belch black smoke?

[hahtsauce]

@mcglaven

its called diesel 

[corybently]

@mcglaven the black smoke is carbon from the diesel engine powering the vehicle.

[mcglaven]

@corybently I'm aware of the function of diesel. Apparently none of you have any sense of humor. Do you comprehend the metaphor between the blackness of smoke and the death symbolized by military equipment? Irony. Sorry, it's not funny anymore now that I've laid it out.

[corybently]

@mcglaven Well if that was an attempt at humor... maybe you should try something else cause obviously from all the comments no one got it. Just trying to help you out man.

[VadimShumakov]

Chineses can laugh!

For the sum of 22 million dollars it is possible to buy 10000 jet ski or one helicopter!

[chilich33z]

After the investment of nearly $2,900,000,000 in research and development funds over more than two decades, the Committee believes that further investment in the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle is not warranted if improved performance of the new prototypes cannot be demonstrated.

[MrDrag0npunch]

i bet the guys from saving private ryan wished they had this vehicle to storm that beach

[xoxojdavenport]

Is this supposed to be the "replacement" (for lack of a better word), for the AAV?

[serpent60]

Cool, but really ugly

[Darwinisti]

Expensive crap

[BobNO227]

i can see some marines vomiting in this

[FraggingBard]

@BobNO227

Sea sick Marines?

You can see the irony in that, yea? :P

[PyR0Star]

@FraggingBard who do you think delivers the marines?  NAVY

[FraggingBard]

@PyR0Star

lol of course.

A person said he could see Marines vomiting. I pointed out that Marines, sea born infantry, being sea sick is kinda funny.

You don't even need to read his comment, just mine.

"Sea sick Marines?

You can see the irony in that, yea? :P"

[cf80to01]

@FraggingBard Any sailor who tells you he/she has never been seasick has either never been to sea yet or is full of shit.

[USAAIRPOWER]

Too make the EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle) more powerful that USMC should add 4 ATGM. EFV is very awesome it could carry 3 crews-17 troops in it. EFV look very similar to Russian BMP-3, Chinese ZBD-97, & ZBD-2000.

[TheGatman101]

hundreds of these will be hitting the beachs of iran soon.... backed by air support and a ground invasion from iraq to the east and afghan to the west

[woLFpaCK03131]

well said..

[nunchuck19]

looks like some1 took my isea lol

[sickmeier]

wow how much did that cost me, fucking stupid

[tgs455]

@sickmeier What do you mean "how much did it cost ME'? You know your taxes don't pay for the military budget. All the military budget and other federal spending comes from corporate taxes, not personal income taxes.

[spooksixsix]

now thats what i need, replace my ageing 4x4, looks like a great piece of kit to collect the kids from school and fetch the groceries!! just kidding, serious war machine, versatile and capable.

[clustergarde]

that box can be a lot of a gun but the former Amphibious Assault Vehicle were much more streamlined ...

[moderndoug]

More streamlined? Can they hit over 30 knots? This baby planes up and flys on the water. I think the word 'streamlined' doesn't mean what you think it means.

[clustergarde]

come on, man ... the thing looks like a shoe box ... the earlier model was much more streamlined ...

[Beliserius1]

@clustergarde

Streamlined maybe, but one was buried in water, the other flies nearly ontop of water.

Making the EFV far more efficient.

[NYCSKATER12]

omfg cant wait to become an officer in the Marines and command these bad boys, i dont know if its just me but i find that amphibious vehicles are amazing

[molossosarta]

just perfect !!!

[wheelert1]

Just wondering were you got this video, I shot, produced and edited it a few years back. I have a new one we just shot early this year and I might post it. The Marines really need this vehicle, it will change amphibious warfare unlike any other weapon system.

[Gamebusty]

i love transformers xD hehe

[elenitta31]

nick vendrá por toda tu familia

hazlo o morirán por favor hazme caso

yo lo lei y lo hise

[Blitzoace]

Like the hull skirts. But it's a bit boxy. The turret should be put back a bit.

[Jimderkaisser]

This amphibious vehicle look very good did it was cancelled or didn't meet the DOD exigence i heard something like that few months ago.

[eviltwin777]

No it's approved for 2015

[chinambt99]

wOw its aGiliTy on wateR is veRy Fast!

i like It! iTs POwer to Ratio?

[realitic]

EmO StyLE TyPIn oR WhAt?

:(

[DPJ1979]

Cool, but looks somewhat similiar to the BMP-2/3 series IFV's.  I would worry about friendly fire situations.....

[BlacktailFA]

They probably won't make it to shore to be mistaken for BMPs --- the Navy and Marines are struggling just to get them to swim in a straight line.

military(dot)com/news/article/­corps-27b-efv-at-crossroads(do­t)html?col=1186032325324

Not to mention that it weighs 40 tons.

[qwe528]

Yes truw Captainamerica322 buth olso Depends How the enemy stands for if they Ar Well equipd and Traind Example like Serbs it would stay a Mainly and Airfoce and Atillery Job

Buth as Kosovo war was faill to do any Real dammage to the Serbs becos only Using air and Atillery

makes the enemy Easier and gives them or redraw or win Opertunity As the Enemy can place Decoys What as US warplaners is seen as Real Enemy Targets Usa Wont interfear in to mutch more Becos of obama Now

[CaptainAmerica322]

not in this war, no, but there will be more to come. in a war with a country that ISNT land locked, i can gaurentee there will be large scale amphibious assaults.

[chrthiel]

Iraq isn't landlocked.

[Taimak77]

I fear some ingenious towelhead will come up with a $25 method to destroy this fine piece of equipment as they do with their IED's.

[frenchfrys12]

@Taimak77 Anti tank weapons cost well in the thousands of dollars.

[corygray13]

how big is a few MEUs

[qunniq]

ya last time it happend was the attack on iraq

[Kirilltraceur]

Just a copy of the Russian- 25 year old BMD and BMP...

[sargon08]

hhhh this russian are funny !! the U.S.A was the friest counrt to use the Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT)in the WW2 just look at the LVT A-4 and you will know where did the russian copy the BMD and BMP !!

[Darwinisti]

@sargon08

BMP copy from LVT A-4? Ou jeah, both have tracks and they floats.

[VBH8888]

@sargon08 actully ancient china and rome had the first ones. but made of wood.

[RUSSIAisPRIMITIV]

silly fag dix are for chix

[Kirilltraceur]

You are incredibly stupid...

[RUSSIAisPRIMITIV]

more like 50 year old LST

[ClydeSmiths]

shows how little you know what you're talking about. read the specs on this thing and then shut up.

[Kirilltraceur]

idid, now YOU look at the physical appearance.

[albertkc2007]

This baby's got it all... head banging seasickness, and claustrophobic fear of drowning with all the gear you'll be wearing while pounding the waves...who needs enemy contact when this baby can simulate the feeling of gut-wrenching childbirth for every man on board. Semper Puke Marines!

[biped19]

Can anyone say "over the horizon operations." Awesome. The USMC really needed a new amphibious vehicle.

[bammb00]

well for all U.S. haters out there......here is more fuckn reason to envy AMERICA....JEALOUS AGAIN?

[RUSSIAisPRIMITIV]

no, i think we got them with the AC-130, another cool toy they cant have

[boosra]

@bammb00

Not so jealous. Kinda hard to be jealous of a misconceived, ugly deathtrap. Even harder to be jealous of a misconceived, ugly deathtrap that's been canceled.

[violalord1]

I plan on going NROTC marine option and after tbs list this as my top MOS choice and tank second so I was kinda checking it out.

[sputnikoftheus]

Can the turret gun fire while the vehicle is surging through the water?

[sputnikoftheus]

Can the turret gun fire while in the water?

[JuggaloTheRolla]

Can it not?

[surfing636]

Mighty wild ride, fun for the driver, but marines that can't see out better not eat first. But impressive water speed!

[camarocrazy28]

Makes the current AAV look like a snail in the water. I can' t beleive how fast it is! YAT-YAS!

[albertkc2007]

i hope no marines puke before it reaches shore.

[jamiestewart662]

LOL
