bushmaster trials
it looks mean enough but I'll take our Fenneks any day of the week ... now if only they could finnish building them in any decent timeframe
yeah I couldn't watch the rtl7 deal because I had to go see this

which was surprisingly nice!
but nothing can stop me from watching the rerun tomorrow ... except another german invasion
Makes me wonder who the other 6 candidates were...De Australische Bushmaster weerspiegelt de natuur van zijn land van herkomst: ruig en imposant. Dit solide pantservoertuig biedt niet alleen een veel betere ballistische bescherming dan de Mercedes Benz terreinwagen waarover de Nederlandse troepen in Afghanistan beschikken. Hij vergroot ook de inzetmogelijkheden van de commandant van de Task Force Uruzgan. Wanneer een wat robuuster optreden vereist is, hoeft deze nu niet meteen naar de zwaardere Patria of YPR-765 pantserrups te grijpen, maar kan er ook voor kiezen de Bushmaster te ontplooien.
Vanaf het moment dat de behoefte aan een aanvullend patrouillevoertuig duidelijk werd, trok de Defensie Materieelorganisatie alle registers open. De uitzending van gevechtseenheden naar Uruzgan stond voor de deur en dus was haast geboden. Het verwervingstraject ging op 23 juni van start en één maand later viel de beslissing. Van de acht kandidaten gooide ook de Zuid-Afrikaanse RG-31 Nyala hoge ogen, maar uiteindelijk gaf de snelle levertijd van de Bushmaster de doorslag.
In de originele versie biedt het pantserpatrouillevoertuig plaats aan tien personen, maar de landmacht beperkt het aantal inzittenden tot vijf. Dan is er meer ruimte beschikbaar voor de persoonlijke wapens, uitrusting en apparatuur. Twaalf Bushmasters worden voorzien van een onder pantser bedienbare mitrailleur.
I saw it. It was about a SF operation, KCT on land, Marines on land. First they observed, then they moved in.
KCT with parachutes and chinook, Marines by sea and later by air too.
Not very special.
They also explained somethink about the new diemaco with rails and stuff. Pretty cool, it seems that the Commando's have got a lot of new stuff: MICH helmets, Modular vests, Safariland holsters al that crap.
Well, it was about a exercise involving KCT, and BBE(nowadays DSI-M)Originally Posted by Brabo
How was the item about the Dutch SF?
Did you see some of the training and real action.
Can't wait to see. Hope some one can record it.
Would be nice. To must US SOF movies only a few
dutch...
You saw something about the planning, gear, final exercise. Very cool!! And a small part about Soldier Modernisation Program, they showed a tricked-out C7A1 with RIS, Aimpoint, Laser, Flashlight..So, don't know when the "herhaling" will be, but you better watch it
Dingo II, LMV, Nyala, Iguana, Cougar, ACMAT VLRB/A?
Looks like i am wrong. Appears they are coming from stock the Aust Army already has, so they will be in the cammo we use. Until they are repainted!
So he and his wannabe buddies can pretend to be KCT and look cool on the internet?Nice program about the dutch SF. Funny to see that they wear a mix of all kind of kit. A good input for Andy and his blackwatercrg group.
Good stuff!!
Any one visited the WereldHaven dagen this weekend.
The Bushmaster looks en performs quite well i think, but isn't it a bit large and bulky. Obvious target, why not look at a smaller and lighter vehicle like the MOWAG EAGLE etc...?
Did anyone tape the show and put it online.... or will RTL7 be streaming it in the near future?
I hope so, i missed it
You're not alone, hope that softens the pain
