Being Euro 6 complaint may give you the advantage.

From an occupant protection point of view, and the CROWS remote .50 cal system aside, is there a provision for fitting a light ballistic protected slewing turret for the roof mounted machine gun, to protect any gunner using the manual gun ring mount, like those fitted to the up armoured HMMWV in US Army service? I'd hate to see our roof gunners vulnerable while returning fire with the vehicle mounted gun. It would kind of defeat the purpose of having all that protection if the defensive weapon was left unprotected. Kind regards.

Had to watch this with the sound off because the kids were watching The Voice. So I missed a lot of the details but I was struck by the loving shots of the wheels with the Bazillion lock nuts. A bit like a boy racers ride to impress the girls. If I were a Grunt in the field and I had to change a wheel I'd be saying "FFS if only it were held on by a clip you could flick with your thumb". So, common ground in between maybe.

Serious Question. How does it fair against Javlin or NLAW based missle types with top down attack? I understand there is plenty of underneath protection from IED blasts but if the Russia/Ukraine war has taught us anything its that any vehicle can be stopped pretty quickly with a top down firing missile. Should be ok against the old RPK-7.

problem: Hawkei does NOT have anywhere for a spare wheel in it's design (required on australian roads) - Thales' solution: tow a trailer carrying the spare wheel EVERYWHERE... I dont understand how subs got canned when this gets through.
@dracarysblackfyre6030
2 жыл бұрын
Common misconception, there is absolutely no legislation mandating a vehicle carry a spare tyre, either C Class or heavy Vehicle. I did a bunch of research on the topic and ended up empty handed. Defence usually mandates vehicles carry a spare tyre as they are part of the CES of the vehicle, however as the Hawkei does not come with a spare tyre this is not the case. If this seeminly doesn't make sense, I'd also like you to consider the fact that between the tyres all being run flats and there being an onboard tyre inflation system, the Hawkei is capable of safely maintaining speeds of up to 80km/h with a 2cm gash in one tyre. Silly oversight, but not nearly as crippling as it would first seem. Still, they are experimenting with vehicle mounted spare tyres as it should have been a capability early on

@@forestR1 They aren't. It may be dictated in Standing Orders, but there is no legal requirement, civilian or under the DRTM's to carry the trailer or the spare tyre. there is a RODUM to have access to a spare on difficult terrain, but again, the spare does not need to be with the vehicle, simply carried by another vehicle that is accessible

It may be that those who have had to wait are in extremely rural areas, and may have had issues contacting the right emergency services, but it is certainly a severe issue.

They own PG&E in California which has been suspiciously cutting power BEFORE wild fires as if they somehow know the fires are coming a week in advance..... this is of course because THEY DO.... they use weather modification and directed energy weapons to start these insane unexplainable fires and the ultimate goal is to roast all of northern Cali as well as all the areas where they plan to lay the future magnetic railway system. So far they’re doing a wonderful job of it and hardly anyone sees how blatantly obvious it is that these fires are being set and amplified by unnatural means.

Impressive!
From an occupant protection point of view, and the CROWS remote .50 cal system aside, is there a provision for fitting a light ballistic protected slewing turret for the roof mounted machine gun, to protect any gunner using the manual gun ring mount, like those fitted to the up armoured HMMWV in US Army service? I'd hate to see our roof gunners vulnerable while returning fire with the vehicle mounted gun. It would kind of defeat the purpose of having all that protection if the defensive weapon was left unprotected. Kind regards.

Had to watch this with the sound off because the kids were watching The Voice. So I missed a lot of the details but I was struck by the loving shots of the wheels with the Bazillion lock nuts. A bit like a boy racers ride to impress the girls. If I were a Grunt in the field and I had to change a wheel I'd be saying "FFS if only it were held on by a clip you could flick with your thumb". So, common ground in between maybe.
Christ, even posh gits say "Straya". Love it.
Although needing to tow a trailer just so you can have a spare tyre kind of puts a downer on the 'high levels of mobility' component of its design brief!

Serious Question. How does it fair against Javlin or NLAW based missle types with top down attack? I understand there is plenty of underneath protection from IED blasts but if the Russia/Ukraine war has taught us anything its that any vehicle can be stopped pretty quickly with a top down firing missile. Should be ok against the old RPK-7.

Common misconception, there is absolutely no legislation mandating a vehicle carry a spare tyre, either C Class or heavy Vehicle. I did a bunch of research on the topic and ended up empty handed. Defence usually mandates vehicles carry a spare tyre as they are part of the CES of the vehicle, however as the Hawkei does not come with a spare tyre this is not the case. If this seeminly doesn't make sense, I'd also like you to consider the fact that between the tyres all being run flats and there being an onboard tyre inflation system, the Hawkei is capable of safely maintaining speeds of up to 80km/h with a 2cm gash in one tyre. Silly oversight, but not nearly as crippling as it would first seem. Still, they are experimenting with vehicle mounted spare tyres as it should have been a capability early on

@@forestR1 They aren't.

It may be that those who have had to wait are in extremely rural areas, and may have had issues contacting the right emergency services, but it is certainly a severe issue.

They own PG&E in California which has been suspiciously cutting power BEFORE wild fires as if they somehow know the fires are coming a week in advance..... this is of course because THEY DO.... they use weather modification and directed energy weapons to start these insane unexplainable fires and the ultimate goal is to roast all of northern Cali as well as all the areas where they plan to lay the future magnetic railway system. So far they’re doing a wonderful job of it and hardly anyone sees how blatantly obvious it is that these fires are being set and amplified by unnatural means.
