Yeah and it also faster, has better range, and ridiculously well armored.

Also P.S I've only noticed now that you have changed the o not a patrol vehicle and wasn't designed as such.

Henry240:

You've jumped the gun. When i referred to Reconnaissance vehicles, i was referring to vehicles like the Hornet, Wolf, Panhard SFV, Jankel LRPV and Fox etc etc.

The Rooikat doesn't fit into that category.

Special forces vehicles used for reconnaissance.

Much more improved than the last video I saw. Constructive criticism.

I'm not even referring to it's looks. The TITUS has one of the best mobility characteristics i've ever seen. A heavy this big and able to overcome the obstacles i've seen it overcome is incredible.

It's also built on Tatra proven chassis.

Again it's troop carrying capacity and the fact it carries a 20mm RCWS are huge draws for me personally.

Mbombe 6x6 was designed for lower budged militaries where it bridges the gap between MRAP, Motorised and Mechanised infantry using different turrets. Titus is just to big to be used in mech and the 20mm doesn't cut it in that role anymore. So you end up with a vehicle that's overbuilt for motorised infantry. A budget minded military would use something much cheaper for that role. You can buy a lot of 2nd hand mraps for $900 000.

The high silhouette makes it very vulnerable to RPG fire. When you look at RPG training on the range, the biggest problem is ranging. Gunners usually miss very long or verry short at more than 300m. A high silhouette helps a lot with ranging errors.
Paramount will open a factory in your home country tomorrow. That's their whole business model.
Nexter exist to primarily support the French military and would instead do some kind of industrial offset with big promises of unicorns and rainbows that never amount to much 5 years later. They'll be glad to finance you though, but by the time you make your last payment those Euro bankers would have fleeced you out of 3x the amount on the sticker price.
At the end of your Mbombe contract you'll have a locally staffed factory with a regional export licence and in-country vehicle support. With the French you'll have to fly over some Nexter engineers every time you want run a engine diagnostic.

Prior to this, the Banglas had never handled a contract this size. In fact, this was the very first OPV out of that shipyard. Icarus does some work out of Singapore, but Bangladesh?
More important, why did Nairobi contract with a Danish company, who got a SA company to design the product, which the Banglas manufactured?

Looks to me like a laundering scheme, with Kenyan citizens -i.e. taxpayers - being the losers.
