#BritishArmy #Jackal2
The jackal 2 replacing the famous ‘Pink Panthers’ used by the Special Air Service, the ‘Pinkies’ seeing action during first Gulf War. The Jackal 2 performs 10-times better than the Land Rover Defender, The Jackal Mobile Weapon-Mounted Installation Kit is designed to traverse rough terrain at speed, negating the need to use highways and reducing the risk from roadside bombs. The Jackal 2 can be fitted with the BOWMAN communications equipment.
The Coyote vehicle is well suited to the desert terrain. It has a payload capacity of up to 3000kg. It accommodates driver, three passengers and has a flexible loading area at the rear. This patrol vehicle can also tow light trailers or artillery pieces.
It is an open vehicle, where emphasis is stressed on firepower and visibility rather than protection. The Coyote has provision for two crew-served weapons. It has a gun-ring and can be armed with various combinations of 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, 7.62 mm machine guns, and 40 mm automatic grenade launchers.
