Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about making a M-945 with the combat support boat on top.
I would like to know if the M-945 uses the M-927 XLWB undercarriage or the standard M-939.

Thanks !!

Hi Miloslav,

How are things in Czechia ?
I did find that Wikipedia link, but that was no information about the M-945.

This chassis is the same as XLWB 215 in wheelbase.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the info !!
This should be more than enough !!!

I do have one final question.
The M-945 for the ribbon bridge has a A-frame on the back to extract the bridge from the water.
Is this A-frame also present on the M-945 that carries the Combat Support Boat ?
AKA do the use one and the same vehicle for TWO purposes ?
