Wow this crazy little box 📦 is unstoppable I don’t think there’s too many pieces of machinery in the world that would get through that kind of stuff. I want one!
Awesome, I drove one of these in the 80s while stationed in Alaska. Great cehicle, you can haul lots of gear. Fiberglass shell, you can push over 3 inch trees if need be. Not too bad of a ride as long as you are in the front. I loved it, especially in the spring, summer, same environment as here.
I drove these for several years in the UK, Norway and the Falkland Islands. Awesome vehicles that would go pretty much anywhere, could have done with a diff lock on the front and rear cabs a couple of time though.
These little things have been around for a long time, but they never fail to deliver. I had the opportunity to ride one of these. It is pretty much unstoppable. If there are any place where this thing can't go, it's not worth going there anyway. It is an absolute beast.
Drove these in the army. Great machines, lots of fun. They are even amphibious. Two weaknesses though, that high revving diesel never stops sweating and leaking oil, and the lack of diff locks between the four tracks, mean that if one track looses traction, you can get stuck. Happened especially on icy slopes. Top speed about 40km/h, fuel consumption about 11 ltr / 10km in rough terrain. Ours used a mix of kerosene and diesel fuel.
I was driving these in the army. Unstoppable almost. Very fun drifting on ice covered sea. They work well on lakes and in the sea if the seastate is below 2. Very cool machines with modern Diesel engines.
9:23 Notice how he swings left and right. You can make this amazing machine swim and slither through some impossible conditions. We drove these at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. They're amazing.
Kick ass vehicle I remember these when I was in the services! Gotta be one of the toughest vehicles in the army, just when you think it has had it and is stuck it just ROARS OUT!! The only thin that stopped it was the engine compartment full of water!
Time to upgrade the bilge pump with an automaticaly cleaned filter forcing the mud out of the vehicle with pressure! The mud covered white round thing under the light brown (rusty?) power train at 8:54 is the bilge pump that seized working due to that exact mud problem, isn't it?
I was driving one of these Hägglund bandvagn BV206 in my military service 93-94 in Sweden. We had a 7.62 mm machine gun on the roof and pulling a 120 mm grenade launcher behind. The BV 206 can also swim in water in about 3 km/h. But 6mm fibre glass was not so good protection from bullits. Fun to see this again though!
Одноразовый. Глохнет. ДВС д.б. другой, не форсированный, и дизель. Помпы нет и конструктивно не присобачить Странная техника. Русский "Иван дурак" такую халабуду и делать бы не стал. Др. дело если не для дела, а для "мартышкина труда".
Looks like the basic rules are; don't hit anything too solid, give it some gas, don't give up/panic. I love how it seems to just really _want_ to go forward, whatever you throw at it.
I drove and worked on SUSV's in Alaska. Did way crazier stuff than this in them. Never stuck and pulled out all kinds of other vehicles with no problem. I made a train once and pull 4 broke ones with one!
Please, can we use footage from your RU-vid channel for our videos about military cars, trucks a other machines? We tag your channel as a source ,... thank you. :)
The US and the former USSR had tried to operate such kind of long range vehices in the Antarctica. Does anybody know, whether a HAGGLAND could be upgraded to operated down to -60° ?
It is certainly possible, but I bet you need to do quite a lot of modifications to it. -60 is so cold, almost no technology or materials are made to tolerate it. You will find all kinds of surprises with plastics cracking and lubricants solidifying. It would probably mean you need to rebuild the engine with special seals and gaskets. You'd probably need to tear out all the wireing and replace it with special insulated cables that won't crack in the cold. I believe Swedish army veichles are built to operate down to -40 C, but another 20 degrees colder is way, way more difficult to adapt to, because we haven't gathered enough experience with those extreme conditions.
