I can see that happening, even if it would be more ideal to see others first.
They are relatively obscure (no Wikipedia page), and of the models seen, two are in service with Saudi Arabia. Cockerill turrets/guns on what are said to be modified LAV-6 hulls. Online, the LAV-700s also seem to be known as “Desert Viper”.
So there are a couple different variants? I did a quick google search and just saw the Cockerill one with the 105mm. They look cool though. I think I also saw one with just a .50 cal on it.
Ya, there is a few at least 5 variants built, but with lack of info on the line not sure about any others.
There is the 4 here with Belgian turrets and guns and a 5th with a different turret the US tested, one of the few time you’d see it not in a desert camo.
Those are sick af, I didn’t know about those wither. More fun for the UK Tree
so 30mm RWS could still happen?
christ
how many CM’s and what EW suite?
the Stryker is based on the LAV III
still GDLS, just happens to operate in Canada because they got GM Diesel which made the first LAV for a Canadian contract, and then carried on their work in the existing factory.
why UK, if they are from GDLS and not even commonwealth operated?
I won’t even have a conversation with you, Americans simp
always resorting to insults in the absence of a good point
Because they were built by GDLS-C(not GDLS(US), but General Dynamics Land Systems Canada), and they were exported to Saudi Arabia due to a deal with the Canadian government, (ex. this model technically has Government involvement).
The US, just like all other non-US LAVs, has no claim on it. The US-operated LAVs and tested prototypes are more than enough LAVs, as it has well over 10 variants, and that does not bring up all the other domestic US equipment the US has, which gives it no need to do something it’s only related to by loose proxy.
You always mock us about a Canadian tree, I have no reason to respect you
still GDLS, literally just for local manufacturing.
GLDS is a loose proxy? then what does that make its relation to the UK tree, nonexistent?
Don’t have a conversation with him, he will just told you that you are wrong everytime as always
He did the same in the Canadian tech tree idea
Gaijoobles plz AVGP Cougar
Oh, I’m fully aware of how much of a US main he is. Actively claims the world for the US tree to the point of changing facts or making them up.
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
If it was built by a known branch, subsidiary, etc. of another nation, it falls under the nation the branch is located in, as long as it has yet to have a proper operator.
So something built by:
General Dynamics - US vehicle
General Dynamics UK - British vehicle.
General Dynamics Land Systems – Canada - Canadian vehicle
etc.
For a further example, these two showed up last year, being shown off by GDLS-C, the LAV-6 SHORAD and LAV-6 Mk II and as long as they don’t have an operator nation, they are Canadian vehicles(and would be suggested under Canada).
but the “system as a whole” is offered on GDLS main page for the LAV-700, not GDLS-C’s
