Name This Photo!!! - The AFV Recognition Thread

390 Leclerc ARVs?

 

[211RadOp]

My bad. Misunderstood. They bought that many MBT's.

Edited: Further info found. The Leclerc ARV used by France and the UAE (yes they have them too) use parts from the Leo 2 ARV. Judging from the number of components purchased (40+) by the UAE, they may have a few ARVs.

Roger.  But, back to the subject at hand:  the photo is of a French Leclerc ARV mounting the K2D mineclearing kit.  The kit consists of a Pearson Engineering Full Width Mineplough and, as AmmoTech90 pointed out, a Polish Pronit rocket propelled mineclearing system.

Correct.

Leclerc ARV mounting plow and K2D mineclearance kit.

Well, I may have fudged the country and MBT, but at least I reasoned out its role

Today's contribution:

 

[LIKELY]

Soviet ACRV

 

[George Wallace]

Nope.  If you can ID the other two associated vehicles, it may help.

 

[BernDawg]

ACRV w/ Dog ear radar  ???

 

[George Wallace]

You'll have to get a little more specific.....

 

[LIKELY]

[George Wallace]

[Franko]

PPRU was the Russian  "mobile reconnaissance and control post"  from the 80's.

Good one George - that was tough


How about an easy one to give us a break lol

 

[George Wallace]

Well.....you've got me!

All I can figure is a Remote Control vehicle for mine clearance/IED detection using Ground Penetrating Radar/Sonar.  Hard to tell the scale. 




[Edit to add:]

PS.  Muffin

Is it just me or has your picture disappeared?

 

[muffin]

I still see the picture... hmmm....

It is a development vehicle so maybe that was sort ofcheating

Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle (UGCV)

Designed to navigate over large natural, urban and battlefield obstacles, sustain itself with hybrid electric power for long periods, and continue to operate after accidental roll-over.

It is a Millen Works Project.

I thought it was neat because at first I thought it was made of Lego!

Next...

EDIT: Here is the link to the company page for the vehicle http://www.rodmillen.com/Ugcv.htm

It has a more indepth description. They have some pretty neat concept military vehicles.
