So it’s an armoured truck. Why can’t people describe it as an armoured truck?

If it was American, it would be "All-terrain armoured logistic support vehicle - heavy" or ATALSH for short.

Because in that case you couldn't sell it for a price of a MB Tank.

At 3:19 the rear wheel steering is obvious. Might have been worth mentioning.

Funny how they mention "the Swiss" like a unknown entity while the vehicles actually come from there.

Yeah, the Swiss bought a Mowag armoured truck. Go figure.

Which is now owned by a division of an American company, General Dynamics. So, just like automobiles, components come from all over the world.

Nice video.

Ya I don't no why some manufacturers can't make it that simple, animal for land equipment, fish names for sea equipment and birds after aircraft... maybe they want to seem complicated and sophisticated

@@wanjevi UK is typically weather events for aircraft. (spitfire's first name was the shrew, but was changed as it wasnt agressive enough for war time). main battle tanks start with C. helicopters.... Lynx.... Gazelle. i think they just pick a rough subject and role with it in the UK. but would make more sense like you say

First "Eagles" were armored reconnaissance vehicles (Humvees). They are/were the eyes of the commanders. That's the reason they are called Eagles. By the way, English pronounced "eagle" sounds exactly the same as the German word "Igel", which means hedgehog. Some guys in the army regularly mixed it up 😉

Ford Falcon named after a bird; Maseratis named after winds; Lamborghinis named after bulls; Ford Cortina named after a ski resort; Triumph Dolomite named after a mountain range; Comet tank and Meteor tank engine! 🙂🙂🙂

I think the key word was NATO. It's ok for uk to have our 8×8 boxers with modular and is a really good vehicle . It is also very wise to have purpose built vehicles that are dedicated to a specific role. 👍

Doesn't much look like an Eagle to me. I'd go more for a Bear.

I can´t hear anything else than “Fi´hicle” 🤔

Are the British incapable of equiping their armed forces? Used to be world leaders leaders.

Just incompetant governments and generals constantly changing their requirements until armoured vehicle manufacturing all but died in the UK. Now its all foreign owned with BAE making its vehicles in Sweden.

Buy loads

The Swiss buy a fossil burning vehicle? Hope it’s very quiet ;-)

The Swiss? 😂 For what? Sitting on the fence?
