Decided to snap some pics of our new Armoured Heavy Support Vehicle System (AHLVS). Made by Mercedes and actually delivered in desert tan

Heavy transport (the trailer tires also steer when going around corners).







The cargo variant.







And the PLS, this one as a FAR.



There is also a wrecker on base but have yet to locate it. I'll look for it tomorrow.

cheers

Sweet. Optimus Prime joined the Canadian Army!

Now you just need a slat equipped Leo 2A6 on the trailer. Tempting.

Nice pics, I saw a few of these here in Edmonton when they first came in. The doors are so heavy that they have an auto-opening system for them. Quite the beasts!

I saw the cargo variant on the highway just north of Montreal a few weeks ago... by far one of the coolest looking trucks ever. Those, as well as our Cougar MRAPs, are two vehicles I'd love to see kits of!
