Viking Amphibius Armoured All-Terrain Vehicle

[PHILLE564]

It's funny how everyone is complaining about it's weak armor. I mean, it's at least more bullet proof then the american Humwee.

[SulleM07]

why is sweden supporting those american criminals?

[gamer5274]

@SulleM07 we are just selling weapons to them and we are only helping people in afganistan

@SulleM07 If you learned to read it says United Kingdom. Not United States. But yeah we sell weapons to the Americans as well.

Dutch army union is complaining that these are too weak against IED's and are requesting Bushmasters. 2 Dutch marines were killed in one of the Vikings yesterday.

@diramonsky Weak against IEDs? What was the IED made of? I have heard that IEDs can be made of unexploded munition like artillery shells. I can't say that I would be surprised about that a BvS10 would be destroyed if it runned into an IED made of 155mm artillery shells. Do you know what the IED was made of?

@onlypeaceindeath

No I don't know but it must have been quite heavy. Probably a heavier vehicle wouldn't have saved him either but still they complaint.

@diramonsky

Yes, the armour is weak in those vehicles.

But you should remember this is a vehicle from the beginning designed as a non armoured vehicle with a better off-road capability than most other off-road vehicles.

If you need more armour you should use an APC or IFV.

The plate behind the gunner should come up past his head. That way there is protection from small arms fire and sniper fire from behind. If this is a lid add an extension plate to the lid to bring up the height.

Just thinking occupational safety. The idea is to minimize casualties while political understandings are reached
