British Forces in Iraq Field an Up-Armored Bulldog



New armor kits have been fitted to the newly modernized British FV-430 Mk3 Bulldog Armored Personnel Carriers (APC) based at Basra, Iraq. In the recent months, the modified APC (http://www.defense-update.com/products/f/FV432M.htm) went through user trials in the UK and the Middle East which confirmed their reliability and endurance.

http://www.defense-update.com/images/Bulldogs.jpg


In the recent months, 50 APCs received a new engine and transmission which introduced better performance, much improved turning capability (Bulldog can now turn around within its own length) and improving more comfortable driving, resulting in less driver fatigue. The new add-on armor provides improved protection against a wide range of threats, bringing it up to the same level of the FV-510 Warrior. Other improvements include air conditioning. The armor package, developed by RAFAEL was first introduced in September 2005 at the DSEi exhibition (http://www.defense-update.com/events/2005/summary/DSEi-05.htm) in London. It uses the latest-generation insensitive reactive armor package (http://www.defense-update.com/features/du-1-04/reactive-armor.htm) on the front and sides, providing protection against a variety of anti-tank weapons, including the widely deployed RPG-7 rocket propelled grenade launcher (http://www.defense-update.com/features/du-1-04/rpg-threat.htm). In addition, the new appliqué armor (http://www.defense-update.com/features/du-1-04/feature-armor-protection.htm) provides protection against kinetic energy attack, high-speed artillery and roadside bomb fragments.

Initial deliveries of the new Bulldogs went to British Army units located at Basra. Over the next six months, more deliveries will be made to operations in Iraq as well as Afghanistan. The MOD plans to process up to 500 vehicles with these modifications.

Protesters display placards as security personnel block the gates of the Pandacan Oil depot during a demonstration on the recent hike in oil prices in Manila on July 5, 2008. Rising food and fuel prices in the Philippines pushed the country's June inflation rate to 11.4 percent, the highest level in 14 years, the government said on July 4. The upturn exceeded the forecasts of both the central bank and many private analysts who had expected inflation to range from 10.4 to 11.2 percent.

Iraqi soldiers march in a mini-park beside a highway leading to the airport during a ceremony to launch the rehabilitation of the airport road in Baghdad July 5, 2008. If Baghdad Mayor Sabir al-Isawi gets his way, visitors driving out of the city's international airport will notice more than just concrete blast walls, razor wire and checkpoints. He wants to resurface the multi-lane highway, install street lights and plant trees to spruce up a road that used to be on of Iraq's most dangerous. Picture taken July 5, 2008.

Defense Ministry, SDF to ramp up air defenses for summit.

F-15 fighter jets will patrol the skies over the Group of Eight summit talks beginning Monday in Toyakocho, Hokkaido, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned.

The Combat Air Patrol, or CAP, is extremely rare outside SDF exercises. In addition to using the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) and high-performance radar of Aegis-equipped destroyers, the ministry and SDF plan to ensure the highest possible air security during the summit.

Not my personal experience, but personal experience of quite a few people (including on this forum). It has a very weak red dot and in a bright sun light it is barely visible.

And I would wager the funds for the Azeris to purchase those from Israel originated from the US as part of some GWOT aid package ..

Well they are special forces so it is understandable why they would probably want them to have the best weapons. Also, they probably do not have a large number of people in special forces so they can afford a small number of very good weapons (Tavor) as opposed to a large number of OK weapons (AK-47).
