A deep wide mud hole can do wonders. Ive seen M1 Abrams stuck in mud for hours while the crew exhausted themselves (out in the open) trying to get it unstuck. And if deep mud can stop a tracked vehicle, these wheeled APC's dont stand a chance either. Remember, the weakest part of an armored vehicle is the crew inside of it. When the crew is forced to exit the vehicle, that armored vehicle is useless.

I used to roll in ASV Guardians back in the krap. We also had RG 31s and 33s. It’s best to not engage if possible. The only thing that concerned us was EFPs. I ran over an IED consisting of 25-30 lbs of HME .. still drove back to the FOB… 2 or 3 stack of antitank mines will even take out an M1 tank

A deep pit, covered with camouflage. Once the vehicle is in the pit, you can wait for the crew to exit, or just push dirt over it and wait a few days.

Or, if you have gas to spare, have a bbq.

I used to weld those aluminum window frames that stick out on the sides of mraps and humvees, as well as the aluminum windshield frames.

Our local sheriff department has an rg31 , we are a small rural town, I guess it will be turned loose on we the people sometime in the near future

I remember this one. This one is a golden oldie.

Appreciate your time and video!

In Iraq we lost two Marines in an LAV-25 once. The LAV is a beefy 17+ ton vehicle. It’s around 0.5-0.75” of rolled armor plate. They buried such a huge mine under the vehicle that it threw it into the air and upside down. The gunner and VC both didn’t make it. They were pinned and crushed into the turret cage and the vehicle hull. We lost another Marine with an RPG that hit the vision block of an LAV-AT’s Hammerhead Turret hatch when the gunner was popped up standing in it. C ut him in h@lf and the ambush on the vehicle set it on fire by popping he POL jugs, crew rucks, all the crap strapped on the exterior plate surface and the tires with run flats and whatnot… It didn’t completely destroy the vehicle but it immobilized it. Broke a lot of stuff. Back to the point… Basically a shaped charge will cut through almost all armor on the battlefield. Even MBT thickness. So the question is how to get the shaped charge close enough to the armor plate to scramble the egg yokes inside. In Ukraine you see drones carrying them. But in the Islands of the Pacific and in the Soviet Union and Germany during the Second World War they used shaped charges on bamboo poles. The Germans and Soviets extensively used “magnetic mines” against each other that would barnacle onto the hull unless treated with a coating like Zimeret developed by the Germans and that gives German tank hulls a “spackled” appearance. As much fun as I think it would be trying to magnet something onto a tank hull or IFV or whatever… I think burying the shaped charge might work out real good if you can get the vehicle to drive over it. It could be either command deton@ted or by any of thousands of ways… Or to the side or above the tank hull like in a tree branch or pointing through a building wall spider hole etc. So it’s by drone delivery or with a shovel and choke points like in a city during the dead of the night… and be aware… burying IED’s… that’s exactly how they get ya… how we got them… and it’s not just thin skinned vehicles you can defeat… it’s ALL OF THE VEHICLES. Every MBT on the battlefield today. Not many have reactive armor or even thick plate for the underside and top. And for very sophisticated penetrators… you may even mimic what the TOW or other ATGM’s around the world are doing. They have “dual” shaped charges. Each designed to compliment the other to get into the tank and defeat reactive tiles. Or cage armor. Etc. shapped charge and good quality explosives.

That’s horrible man. Thanks for sharing.

Worked on a lot of cougars and MATVs, older cougars with solid axles that you'd expect to see as hand me downs to local departments suck off road. Plenty have had the independent suspension system upgrades and are better off road but the air brakes and ctis system is more vulnerable. MATVs run a cat c7 with a Huey pump and a fiberglass hood, if it takes enough damage to the engine bay resulting in oil loss it will shut down. They are all hard to see out of, blinding is a tactic if you're close, say a balloon with paint in it thrown at the windshield or putting alot of rounds in them to spider the ballistic glass; be aware they can have remote controlled camera systems as well. Getting close is a good tactic in general the field of fire from their turret is terrible up close. Their doors are pretty heavy you'd have the upper hand on someone trying to get out fast. The matv v shaped belly pan is bolted on, I can drop off so a secondary explosion underneath can disable. Regular MRAPS are welded unibody construction you're more likely to blow off all axles and or scramble the occupance even if you went overkill on explosives. Their wiring and electronics leave alot to be desired as well if you can get through their tough skin or get access to them static a canteen under the dash or tearing up a harness will create a lot damage that won't be fixed quickly.

Combat Engineer 57th Sapper Co. RCP 45 OEF10 The jammers on the back of the RGs when i was over there were called the Dukes (or Duke System). Ive seen several vehicles including rg, buffalo, and huskeys take hits. But one thing to think about with EFPs is that apparently they (Taliban) couldnt get them to work in Afghanistan because of the altitude. Thats what higher ups told us and i never saw any....in Afghan land

I bet the armor is weakest on top. Drones could be used against that. I wonder if a black powder cannon shooting a steel sabo could pierce it.

Fire worked pretty well against us in Iraq.

The Cougar 6x6 just looks mean....I guess deep pits and giant logs could stop a modern military tank. With a combat weight of 64,500lbs, it could easily get stuck just by marring up in soft ground.......like mud season in Ukraine.

I'm thinkin air intake +🔥.

I hope you feel better you sound ill 🤒

As we are seeing in Ukraine.
