@counterclockwise123 so what, it simply shows capabilities of Land Rover vehicles. You can hardly find more cars in the world that after fording a river almost fully submerged, still drive and look even better than before fording. (and don't you out there even dare to think, that I don't know about fording kits for Landy;)
@koolyman as far as i know they were started in 1948, and i think it was around 1950ish when they got the military contract that saved land rover at the time.
now im not 100% on that , but i think thats about right.
I think our British Army has rubbish fundings, why are we driving old un-armored Land Rovers through IRAQ OF ALL PLACES! While the Americans are getting armored Humvee's
"Our"? That must mean you're British, but why are you spelling armour without the u if you're British? Anyway, we do use some armour plated Land Rovers, and no we don't have as much money as the U.S. to spend on our military force. Ours still kicks ass though.
the land rovers are supposed to be fast assault and backup vehicles, but aren't being driven aggressively enough
the armoured land rovers you refer to are called "snatch" land rovers, built on 110 chassis, with a light amount of armour but not enough to hold up against an RPG or other explosive
oh and that little diesel that d90s have in them is all they need...haha i bet they could still outrun a hummer.....and hummers have 500lbft of torque and 300 hp
Many soldiers prefer the visibility of an open vehicle - like the SAS for example. Many Hummers have also been destroyed. The problem is you shouldn't use a soft skinned vehicle where you need proper armour. And it's no good trying to up armour a soft skinned vehicle either - use a Warrior or Chyallenger if that's what you need!!!
Looks like there were some clips from one of those Al Qaeda training videos? The music is worse than one of those 70's pornos!! Think they need a new soundtrack.
you brits must be joking!! thats all you have so its the best??what happens if it rolls over you get squished?? lose an arm?? no heat ac?? if threw a rock at one I could injure a soldier? we have hummers,h2,jeeps,blazers,pickups,suburbans,expiditions,and I would still take an older toyota over all those just for 4x4ing!!that being said you guys are still our friends!
Not totally true, the off road vehicles you have mentioned (Hummer etc) have been proven on a number of accounts to have quite bad off road capabilities, on that count I would always choose a land rover as they are proven vehicles. For patrols however, for sheer ability to defend its occupants and armour then yes I think most people would choose a hummer, although I have no experience with the armoured land rover (yet lol) so I cannot be 100% accurate on that but still a very good vehicle.
I heard so many stories of squadies pulling out stuck yank humvees in their fenders...Althoug hundoubtedly the hummers offer much more protection. But its no good having allthat if you get sttuck
Someone should do a Land Rover Defender vs Hummer video, just to prove the point that LRs would win. I can't, I live in Europe and no-one's enough of a twat to buy a Hummer.
My uncle still uses his 1964 LR he bought after retired from police. The only thing he ever change was the tyres, oil & some bodywork other than that works just as find. I have to give credit to British workmanship they really build to last.
Personally i reckon the Humvee's are much better than the Land Rovers, even tho the Humvee's are shit they are still more armoured than the Land Rovers.
I agree, SAS swear by them. They will run for decades if you take good care of them...and they're not that hard to care for...that's why the Desert Rats and Pink Panther love 'em. Although the original Willy's Jeep isn't far behind.
best 4x4 ever made! fucking things go any where even up a 90% cliff with a winch. id like to see a U.S hum.v get to the same place that a landy gets to.
thats why it's the vehicle the S.A.S love to use they arm it to fuck and use it for hit and runs, they just drive though and shoot shit out of everything and get the fuck out.
My daughter has the disco 1. When I show her this vid I just know she will wanna put a tire (tyre) on the hood and a machine gun on the roof and go for a cruise!! :29 shows it running over a rock. They must be drivin thru Detroit!
Wolfs are good mobile work platforms- I know this because i'm in forces.When in Iraq i had plentiful of offers from american soldiers to "trade" as it were. Rover overs get my mark anyday.
Defender is ok if your playing Daktari - but the hummer (h1) is a true military transport.
How long do you think occupants of a defender will last under ak fire? The hummer is a system; armorable, mountable 50 cal, cannon, etc. - the defender is a glorified jeep - for transporting softies - way behind your own line of defense. When sh*t hits fans, which unit are you gonna junp into?
Erm, for starters mate the landy is used in combat zones, and is not built for a full engagement with a target, its built for its driving ability, not for a huge firefight, thats when you would bring in the "saxons"
My boss (he talks shite)keeps saying "when I had mine blah blah I done this and that" He had a pajero. NEVER call a Land Rover a jeep. Never. You are on to a good hiding if you say it to me. My boss deserves a kicking.
the wmik has actually had armoured plates inserted all around and actually i would jump into the landy as first of all it is quicker to get out of dodge and will not break down and secondly it has more weapons, hthis is why we have opted for the same layout with the new supacat
it is sadly true that the british army have selected an italian made offroader as its next troop 4x4... but this is only because its bigger and can carry more armour. the MOD still says that for a 4x4 of its size nothing can out perform the standard defender! the Hummer as big and solid as it may be did not even get a look in!!! defenders will be on MOD shopping list as a standard small 4x4 for years!!!
we at the royal armouries fort nelson have a 105mm pack howitzer which was used during vietnam and would of been towed by a land rover! , do you live in the UK?
we are always looking for scenarios to do for shows up at the armouries , and i was thinking of 'Nam , but we haven't got the right vehicle , we had a LWB series 111 and a S111 lightweight but neither were correct.
maybe we could arrange something , it would be an intresting and a great display
i was talking to my dads friend and he did a tour in iraq , he was using a snatch land rover to escort challenger 2 tanks and he couldnt catch the challengers , they were too fast
somewhere on the net is information regarding a race that happened at the beginning of the iraq war between a 110 wolf and one of those lardy humvees. pretty obvious who won.
Sorry, but a series three???? the radiator of a series three is set back as with all series. This is something from a LR90 upwards (newer). The rest... I don't know!
