US Army Shows Us Their Amazing New JLTV! • EXERCISE RATTLESNAKE 

I bet we will love it when we touch one

quiet British “person”

If it’s for the Brits, it has to have a tea maker on board.

@@thomasgalyen6757 Yeh that's why they added the kettle output so the US can export to us :)

This replacing the Ajax?

Hawkei is better.

@@phooogle it's replacing a whole bunch of vehicles like the already withdrawn panther & vector and soon to be withdrawn ocelot/foxhound

Russian and Chinese with ATGM and RPG be like

@@aizseeker3622 allow me to introduce myself 🇨🇳 🇷🇺

@@aizseeker3622 M-1, Bradleys, & Apaches will take care of the roosian & chineeeese "combat vehicles." Fact.

On-board diagnostics simplify the matter. Plus, drivers get about forty hours of training on this critter. Mechanics get about 80 hours. Hopefully, gone are the days of "drive it around the motor pool and here is yer license."

@@Buck123four Sounds really expensive

The ultimate douch canoe for people with more money than brains. They are around $400,000 so probably won't sell like the Hummer. Probably be huge in the "social media influencer" community.

@@brentb5303 it’s expensive now but once more contracts are ordered and if they go the hummer route and offer a civilian version that price will go down. I can see it go down to $100k if that’s the case. But that’s not relevant tbh. I don’t think this vehicle would be a road legal production vehicle as is right now.

@@kolinmartz It IS "road legal" as is depicted...

Atheists, always with a nice dose of pessimism

@@danzo5521 - Absolutely!👍

The land rovers are only used to taxi around bases in the UK. They will never be deployed in an active theatre again.

@@Weakeyedominant Yeah, they’ll lease Toyotas for overseas deployments :)

I would insist on a retro flair-side Ford pick-up. Don't settle.

Panther, Foxhound and Jackal fill largely the same roles to my knowledge and none of those are comparable to a land rover

Yeah but can it handle a proper British kettle at 220v ?

@@koolyman exactly!

Lets suppose sgt skinner is a fighter not a PR person...right?

@@knowsmebyname who’s Sgt Skinner?

@@dylantrinder1571 the guy doing the presentation. Daniel skinner. Sgt i think.

Armorred Humvee didnt care what u saying 😅 , why u guys talks like its not in natural life. Do you believe in God almighty ?? U guys stole humvee and each blueprint through political journey and at afghanistan

Air or "PNEUMATIC?" Pneumatic: "...containing or operated by air or gas under pressure...." Perhaps you meant something else?

It is both. It has air bags to adjust height and hydraulic shocks

@@TheJttv I had guessed it was likely a redundant system.

Nah. They were being used by units in Iraq in 09-10. I know that, because I was there 09-10, and got to see a plain jane regular infantry unit rolling them on FOB Delta. :-) My unit however, a Cavalry unit, were rolling around in Uparmored HMMWV's and MRAP's. :-P

@@AflacMan13 JLTV wasn't fielded until 2019. It looks similar to the MRAP-ATV...the same company builds both.

@@Buck123four Ooooh. I looked them up, I see the differences. You are correct. Thank you for correcting my incorrect knowledge. :-)

Right up the MOD`s chain of thinking...

well, a padlock and several trained killers.

The padlock keeps The Marines out.

I was thinking the same. Why have one vehicle with a v shaped hull and one with out? It’s like luck of the draw whichever one you’re patrolling in.

If you had ever been in a foxhound you wouldnt be asking this question.

This vehicle was NOT built for any specific place...was built to be used in ANY environment. Could be used in the Pacific OR in Europe, or anywhere else. (Lightning fast? Mebbe the 75th Ranger Regt, OR the 82nd Airborne. Those are about the only "Strategic deployable" units the Army has.)

JLTV wasn't fielded until 2019. It looks similar to the MRAP-ATV...the same company builds both.

@@Buck123four You are Correct George, after further research and and looking at photos. The vehicles we used were the M-ATV built by Oshkosh.

That surprised me after what they learned from Humvees..

Did you even watch the video? They fully explained what the deal is for ied.

It has a v Hull

JLTV PASED extensive blast protection & small arms fire testing with ease. What it "LOOKS" like isn't really important.

WATERPROOF bags were invented hundreds of years ago....

Not in Afghanistan and won’t be, at least for now

@@jtheurp9101 soon

@@Czecher86 The US just left the Taleban loads of weapons, vehicles and thermal goggles. Hundreds of millions of $ worth of equipment just left there.

@@v4skunk739 Isis wants some as well..

None of these have been used in Afghanistan stupid. And if we did use them in Afghanistan we would take then home for us.

NONE are there.

Right?

None. 0.00000.

Light Infantry powers through all terrain. Besides we got sent to the mountains to train in that environment before Afghanistan.

@@Aximili55 Of course, but you would think the dedicated mountain warfare division would be located next to mountains. How much money and time did it cost flying 3rd IBCT to a place with mountains just to get mountain warfare training? When it would make more sense to have the 10th switch duty stations with 4th ID which really has no requirement to be proficient in any kind of terrain. There's enough room at Carson for three whole brigades to get mountain AND arctic warfare training all year round without even having to leave the state the division is located in, plus they'd get hands on access to training with the 10th SFG. At that point you could probably move the Army's mountain warfare school to Colorado too. 4th ID will be none the wiser with 2 brigades at Drum and 1brigade at polk- they don't need regular mountain or arctic training to do their job well. Saves the army money while .asking sure the long neglected 10th mountain gets the training it needs way more often. They might even bring back the 4th IBCT of the 10th Mountain, and make a mountain warfare course mandatory for all new joins to the unit.

@@cm-pr2ys 10th Mountain Division is a "mountain division" in name only. When it was activated in the 1980s, it was either 10th MTN OR 7th ID. Senator Bob Dole - who was in the 10th MTN during WW2, was a very powerful Senator, so the naming game went for the 10th MTN Div. Rightfully, should have been the 7th ID.

@@Buck123four Well thanks for the info but what the heck! That makes no sense, either we have a dedicated mountain warfare division or we don't

@@cm-pr2ys All light divisions have the same basic capabilities; 82nd, 101st, 10th MTN, ONCE they arrive in the AO. Biggest difference is the 82nd can deploy by air & parachute in...which they rarely do. Could reduce 82nd to one brigade parachute & the other 2 air-land, but the Army would conjure up 1,000 reasons against that, few of them valid.

That was the latv not the jltv

@@jtheurp9101 whats the difference between the two?

@@basemanawakens6089, two letters. 😉

@@Chilly_Billy 🤣 good one.

That's the MATV and it's way bigger

Duh...none are in Afghanistan.

the war against the tax payer

If you haven't been noticing a lot of militaries have been updating there equipment. The US, Russia, China, France, just to name a few. This vehicle has been slowly replacing the humvee for years now.

Still in Syria Iraq all over Africa,

So you're saying to be ill-equipped in the event of conflict? Brilliant national policy.

@@Chilly_Billy no it's a good idea to keep expanding their debt until their currency collapses, but at least they'll have tanks defending Israel.

MOD: Babe time for another budgets cut British military: (-_-;) yes honey

Mar I havent thought it through as well as you have but my initial impression is that it is not worth the money. What does it cost? 4 soldiers? Yikes.

Yeah this vehicle design for low heavy combat for enemy with little to no AT weapon. Now the military shift to russia and china this vehicle weight and IED protection is useless when they can just straight up use ATGM and RPG to kill it instead of poor man IED. There is rumor Army that decide to upgrade Humvee instead replace it all

@@knowsmebyname Even using Stryker IED protection is better choice since it better armor and cargo space instead creating new vehicle that cant take a hit from HMG for future conflict

What problems? The ground pressure on it( especially with the air suspension and tire inflation system) is significantly better than a humvee, and it is way more adaptable than the humvee to different terrain

JLTV has superb off-road capability; will run circles around ANY HMMWV, & has a 3,500 or 5,100 payload. Oshkosh makes nearly ALL of DoDs vehicles, so "how it looks" isn't a valid assessment tool. Its a lot bigger than HMMWV...which was bigger than the M151 jeep.
