LAV 6.0

Health Services is very happy with the ACSV Amb, their biggest complaint is that they want more.

Ive been crew commanding one - my only complaint is it good use some more zip from the engine.

Except in the Ukraine context battlefield evacuation is more likley by a UGV or a small pickup dashing in and running away quickly, if the causality is lucky.

AXPs are still a thing. The Ukranians would prefer to use these if they could / had them, if only because of higher capacity per trip and better life expectancy. If if youre extracting off the x on a pick up - these just moves back a step. In the world of 20k dead zones bot a bad thing.

Interesting video that appeared in my insta feed - LAV being tested with an MCT-30 turret firing 30mm. Ive only ever seen them on the LAV 3/stryker chassis but that looks pretty clearly to be a LAV 6

Apparently there is 30mm ammunition with a proximity fuse that is suitable for drone hunting(as well as regular targets). Do they have something similar for the 25mm gun on the LAV in the CF?

Its a good system. Honestly if I had my way I might replace the DRWS from the TAPVs which are getting nearer to obsolescence and replace them with these with a 50 cal. They can also accept ATGM mounts.

I hope
1) It is integrated with Kongsbergs Protector C-UAS
2) the CAF looks at the GAU-19 as the standard weapon for it, as the M2 .50 just doesn’t have the weight of fire for a C-UAS role.

I would have preferred the Defender RS-6 and a LW 30-35mm Cannon option for a payload for C-UAS, as well as longer range and effectiveness in more roles.

Remember, this isnt a CUAS platform. This is for ambulances, fitters, EW trucks, etc. Id rather see resources be ysed to make effective CUAS platforms, not turn everything into a shitty one.
