Urban Assault Vehicleby ~slickdj3

Photography / Photojournalism / Military

Taken with my Cell Phone in Baghdad, Iraq... These are around a Million dollars each and awsome! I was able to ride in them a few times.. problem is your so high profile you draw attention... not usually a good thing!

I believe that bad boy was built by Blackwater here in the states. It has a high profile because it was designed to take a IED hit from under. giving more room for the blast to be deflected cause the bottom is shaped like a "v"

now I've seen ILAV badgers , and the H cougars (the 6x6 ones ) , but this particular one Ive never seen , it looks new (doesnt have the dust of baghdad) , and yeah , these vehicles do a hell of a job !

ooooh cool! isnt that a Blackwater vehicle? I really wanna visit Baghdad now!

i've been seeing alot about these recently as i think there might be some modified units for british use.
the biggest thing about these is that they're supposed to offer the best protection from IED's or mines, mainly because of the v-shape hull which helps deflect the force.

From what i've seen (just photos) of ones that have been attacked, they do the job well...

heard theyre called cougar's, but the british call them mastiff's.

just realised i could be wrong

but looks really similar anyway

wooooo thats awesome!! although I've never seen it with my own eyes!

question.. wouldn't going out with a 1987 beat up taxi be more safe?

~slickdj3 Dec 20, 2007

Of course... low profile is the only way to go...
