Humvees

Also, it makes me sad that kids are going to grow up without the Humvee being THE military vehicle... Dunno why, but it hits the feels.

>>34738222
The Humvee is too aesthetic to let go.

>>34738241
that aggression is pretty uncalled for right now. Even for 4chan.

>>34738250
I know! I think that's why the feels are stirred by it not being a thing in the future. It just looks right.

>>34738222
there are replacements they just aren't cost effective

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Light_Tactical_Vehicle

>>34738276
so not a set replacement yet. When I say replacement yet, I mean standardized like that Humvee is and has been.

>>34738262
hang yourself
that retarded shitbox with wheels has gotten more soldiers killed than how many zeros there are after its price tag

>>34738222
>How hard is it to design a light transport for infantry units? Is it just Congress unable to decide if they want armor or not?
this is probably the main reason. mrap's and such are expensive. shit, congress gave a huge hissy-fit over upgrading the humvee with armor. you also have to keep in mind, whatever the military goes with has to run on JP8.

>>34738222
its shit

>>34738295
Good thing no one with common sense goes by your retarded definitions.
>In June 2017 the first US soldiers to receive JLTVs was revealed. According to the Army its first unit to receive JLTVs will be an infantry brigade combat team in the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum. The bulk of their 500 HMMWVs will be replaced by early 2019. The 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in Vicenza, Italy, will be next and then a brigade in Hawaii (probably with the 25th Infantry Division). According to the Marines, a yet-to-be-identified infantry battalion within II MEF at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, will receive 69 JLTVs to replace the same number of Humvees in July 2019. Within 90 days, a similar unit with I MEF will receive JLTVs, and within another nine months, a unit with III MEF in Japan will follow.[69]

>>34738428
Well color me shocked. This just happened, so excuse me for not having read the breaking news.

>>34738459
you're excused but I still love you

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshkosh_L-ATV

>>34738327
It's not even JP8 anymore but something similar. It cost a few cents less per gallon but has similar energy density. F35 I think is what it was called.

>>34738459
There is no excuse for you, if you had put even the slightest of effort into looking for any bit of information(seriously, a fucking google search) you would have had no need to post such a worthless, shit thread. Lurk more or kill yourself.

I agree, it looks fucking dumb. But tech wise, I guess it's good.

But the opinions of the troops in those machines do, and if their morale is lowered because they aren't inspired by their vehicle it could negatively impact their ability to complete the mission.

>>34739048
I honestly would be fine with the DOD acquiring the Hummer brand and making and upgrading Humvees as they see fit. Cut out the middle man. Just have to stay on top of it and make sure it doesn't get bloated like most things in govt

>>34739087
maybe I just have a thing for boxy vehicles. I love old 80s fords because of the squared front. Hate these curvy things now. I want a vehicle that assaults the air as it drives through it.

The irony is that the HMMWV was always meant to be a rear echelon vehicle. The HMMWV isn't being replaced, it's being relieved of the extraneous job it was pidginholed into.

Thats a meme. The US military adopted the humvee to have a turret ring that could support a MK 19, M2, Avenger battery and TOW. It was adopted with military use in mind. The US military uses trucks and cars for non front line work you retard.

Only because all of the HMMWVs were out on patrol. Also the Avenger came well after the HMMWV's adoption so try again.

No retard. The US military has a mass surplus of Humvees. They didn't all get check out for front line duty. Chair Force Security police units have dozens of them rotting at their parking lots. No one is using or buying humvees for on base general use. The military has been using ford trucks for base use since the 1980s.

>>34739311
No.

>>34739330
Stop being a homo. The US military dod not buy humvees with the intent of using them for their inferior mileage, carry capacity lack of AC, proprietary battery inputs, lack of power steering, inferior light controls to replace much cheaper trucks. The military isn't that dumb.

>>34739243
Different companies.

The Chair Force doesn't matter. Get yourself into a real branch of the military.

Really? Because the CUCV and LSSV say otherwise queerbait. Don't correct someone unless you know what you're talking about.

>>34739386
Are you implying the chair force bullied the other branches into keeping their oh so needed humvees from front line use.

>>34739415
You're a mever served if you think there is a humvee shortage and the US military doesn't use civilian trucks.

>>34739432
No, I'm implying that you're approaching Lindybeige levels of autism.

>>34739430
Are you going to remain top faggot and claim the US military never used trucks and only did during GWoT because we almost ran out of humvees?

>>34739463
In what claiming the the humvee wasn't designed as an inside base only vehicle? If it was than why were humvees used in gothic serpent? Why have cav scouts used them since the 1980s?

>>34739475
If by trucks you mean Gators, then yes they did.

Also, there's only one truck on every military post.

>>34739495
Flag trucks do not imply that you can't call a truck a truck in the military unless you are picking on boots.

>>34739475
No I'm saying the military hasn't been using ford trucks for base use since the 80's because they had plenty of CUCV chevy's.

>Ford Super Tough Concept Truck is Tough Enough for U.S. Military

Ford Motor Company has developed the ultimate "Built Ford Tough" F-Series Super Duty pickup truck as a demonstration vehicle for the U.S. Army. It was unveiled at the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 2000 World Conference at Detroit's Cobo Center.

Ford's concept truck - based on the F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab - is structurally modified and equipped with advanced drivetrain, suspension, electrical and electronic components, and recently passed comprehensive desert field trials. The project continues the company's long history of supplying government vehicles and gives Ford an opportunity to evaluate new technologies.

The super tough Super Duty was developed under the U.S. Army's COMBATT (COMmercially BAsed Tactical Truck) program. The Army is working with Ford and other U.S. vehicle manufacturers to explore the use of modified commercial trucks for carrying troops and cargo. The trucks would augment and replace aging vehicles, as the Army also looks to reduce development, production and operating costs.

What are /k/s opinions on the IMV concept? IMV stands for Infantry Mobility Vehicle. It is a type of vehicle that both is an in between of motorized and mechanized units, more protection and able to go into combat unlike motorized yet doesn't become a massive burden on logistics like mechanized, plus there faster. The other being that it is a type of vehicle that the Humvee always wanted to be.

It also has the bonus of being the perfect all around workhorse vehicle in asymmetrical style conflicts.
