I find it funny, that there are still people around who dont know, that Sweden is located in the high north of Europe (at the top approx 68 degrees north) and Switzerland in the middle of Europe at the north border of Italy and at the south border of germany
Got to love these guys. Mowag were the guys who in the seventies built light trucks for the Swiss postal service with a 5.8l yank engine and a variomat speedbox. As hard as one tried, not even Ferraris and Porsches could beat them at the readlights.... Brilliant. Hopp Schwiiz...
Das ist voll spannend wie die gebaut werden,wir haben mit der Klasse mal einen Ausflug dorthin gemacht es ist nur etwa 15 Minuten von meiner Schule entfernt.und einer von meiner Schule macht dort die Lehre .
@oriolesfan61 Partly true. Rubber wheel technology has developed so far lately that you can manufacture tires that are much more resistant to explosives and can withstand a lot of battle damage before giving way. It is of course would not be as strong as track system but it takes a lot more blast energy then one might think to cripple even one of the wheels.
Hallo Fehnriss, mache euch nicht schlecht. Ich denke, dass der Boxer ein interessantes Fahrzeug ist! Das System der modularen Aufbauten ist sehr doch schon sehr bemerkenswert!
oh yeah. my next carpenter van(without the gun). but if you swim with this, you have to bet that noone with a huge boat crosses your way and causes a 5ocm wave! or can it dive, to(if the wave comes)! nice vehicle. look at the uphill wheeli on the backaxles!
Realmente nesse caso tamanho não é documento, de forma alguma e sim funcionalidade, nada mal para um país neutro... Parabéns suíça vai direto para meus favorito, não pelo fato de eu ser neto de suíço, mais pelo fato de já ter visto um desses brinquedinhos aqui no RJ e saber que é um ótimo blindado...
@oriolesfan61 If they do give way, it's a matter of losing a wheel without loss of much operational capability (we are talking about at least 6-wheeled vehicles, some models even go as far as having a 10-wheel configuration), compared to damaging a piece of a track system which will ground the whole vehicle. Maintenance time of track system when not in operation to be combat-ready is also quite significant, certainly much more than wheeled system.
@clevmartin No, sorry!!! Accepted forms of payments are GDP surplus, World Bank loans, or gold reserves. XD Hey, thank you. Glad you're enjoying them!!
Gute Schweizer Technik, schade, dass wir keine schweren Panzer bauen, aber der Leopard II der Deutschen ist ja wohl sowieso schon der beste Panzer der Welt :-)
@einherje71 I would think so. If it needs to run on batteries, I could imagine every single one having a trailer the same size of one of these monsters just to have enough power and traveling distance. XD
@oriolesfan61 Also, with the level of infrastructure development of the modern world, "off-roading" is not in its truest sense any longer compared to say, during WWII. Not that wheeled system is in any way significantly deficient compared to the track system in this area, either. Thank's for your comment!
120mm to kill flyes with a hammer? it's not a battle tank but a infantry personal transport, exist with a 20, 25, 30 and 90mm canon turet, but the most are fitted only with a 12.7 machine gun...
it pays to be prepared. It also proves you don't need a 700 billion budget to be prepared with advanced weaponry for your military. Oh, not also that, but to have a voice, to be taken seriously, and to cause hesitation to invaders considering to make a move, one has to have power. in other words, an advanced, and strong military, so they can enforce their stance to the world :P
Sehr gutes Fahrzeug, die Amis nutzen es ja schon bei den Marines und als basis für den Stryker, ihre neue LKW Serie MTV/ LMTV z.B. M1083 MTV ist ein in Lizenz gebauter Steyr und die Kanone des M1 ist von Rheinmetall , der deutschsprachige Raum weiss eben wie man gutes Militärgerät baut ,das gilt auch für die Schweiz
Es tut mir wirklich leid; ehrlich gesagt, ich erinnere mich nicht was Sie geschrieben haben. Aber manchmal habe ich Kommentare nicht zustimmen, nicht nur weil es schlechte Sprache ist, sondern auch wenn der Inhalt nicht wichtig ist. Entschuldigung! :)
