Army of protected patrol vehicles travel in convoys through the City of Southampton 🪖 

Watch several convoys of Force Protection Ocelots known as 'Foxhounds' by the British Army. The armoured patrol vehicles passed through Southampton, UK after participating in NATO Exercise Steadfast Defender. Other army trucks and support vehicles are also featured. Most are from the 7th Light Mechanised Brigade Combat Team, aka 'The Desert Rats', operating as the NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF).
The Foxhound serves as a Protected Patrol Vehicle for the British Army. It's designed with a V-shape hull to protect against blasts from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), after learning from the war in Afghanistan.
They were made by Force Protection as the Ocelot. The company were taken over by General Dynamics, making it the General Dynamics Ocelot. The British Army name 'Foxhound' is given in line with the theme of naming patrol vehicles after dogs, such as the Mastiffs who also participated on this exercise.
Exercise Steadfast Defender is the largest NATO exercise to be held since the Cold War. Over 90,000 troops are participating with over 1,200 combat vehicles, over 80 aircraft and over 50 naval assets from all 32 allies, including Sweden. British Forces vehicles travelled by ship from the Marchwood Sea Mounting Centre in the Port of Southampton.
