It's an intelligent design. The small door reduce the chances of the door catching the blast and ripping off, the seat allows people to see outside. When your back is against the window, you can't see much outside ! So in this one you can remain seated and strapped and still look outside. Well design for IED and desert, no wonder it's from South Africa!

That brings back some memories. 2008; I was in 2nd SCR at FOB Warhorse. I drove one from Anaconda to Warhorse where it was converted into a MI asset. I then drove it to Normandy. Then pulled 28 patrols and 1 house raid in 14 days. Finally been able to show my family what it looked like. By the way, BAE called getting into the drivers seat as "Dukes of Hazard" style. Also noticed that it did not have its RHINO horn.

@@markfryer9880 EFP = Explosively Formed Penetrator/Projectile. We came across several EFP's set up as two's, three's, and four's, sometimes even mounted vertically beneath bridges. This particular set up was on the East (left) side of Route 1 on the north side of Baghdad as we were heading south on a supply run for our infantry company based at FOB Huriyyah 2 (B Company, 1 Battlion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne AA, a.k.a. Bulldog(Bravo) Co. 1-502 "First Strike") south toward Camp Liberty/Baghdad Airport, covered by rubble at the side of the road, the whole contraption tilted slightly upward, with two 10-inch diameter concave copper-plate EFP's on either end canted outward, and two more 12-inch concave copper-plate EFP's in the center canted only slightly outward. 10in-12in-12in-10in. It was a Humvee killer, as at the time many American convoys used up-armored Humvees on point. The first 10-inch EFP would have destroyed the engine bay of a Hummer, the two 12-inch into the crew compartment, the last 10-inch into the rear of the truck. Destroying the lead Humvee would have temporarily halted the convoy, and we know they had planned an ambush, but being an Infantry formation, the rest of the convoy immediately reacted and the terries only managed a few bursts from an RPK. Most of our Company was on various active patrols/over-watch or guard duty, so as a supply convoy we took what personnel and vehicles were available, therefore had an RG-33L on point, with just the 3 of us crewing it instead of a full load of 11. Driver, truck-commander, gunner, plus usually 8 men in the back, but not that day. I drew the short straw and was on the gun, my fellow SGT as truck commander. As a Sergeant myself I wouldn't normally be in the turret. All that to say: if we had been on point in an up-armored Hummvee per usual, we'd have all been killed for sure. As it stands, the three of us were in an MRAP, which was still annihilated, but it is higher up off the ground and with a more comprehensive armor scheme than a Hummer. Therefore we survived, albeit injured. We were saved by an MRAP, and that's part of my story! Hope my rambling answered your questions.

Explaining spalling is easy... just imagine the ball bearing office toy where you swing one bearing down and it hits a bearing and then the bearing on the other side of several and flies out and keeps going back and forward. The rocket is the bearing on the left and the spalling shrapnel is the bearing on the right (or vice versa).

Those things have come a looong way! First one of those I had to deal with was in 2004, and it was straight off the boat from South Africa, gun ports in the glass, no cages, no EFP up armor, and only for the EOD guys to roll around in.

I used the RG33 as my lead gun truck running a mine roller when we did route clearance. No less than 8 high beam lights on the front, 3 floods lights running along each side looked like the sun coming down MSR Tampa out of BIAP. Passenger doors weighed 950lb, rear door was 750lbs. Rode like a Cadillac and for 83,500lbs it would move on out. Looks so stripped out comms rack held radios, GPS, Computer for the BFT, jammer. Commander slot was cramped with the monitor for the BFT. Trying to get in or out was a real pain with gear on. Usually had our 9 line for Medivac taped to commanders top right windshield. Typically ran dual mount on lead and rear gun trucks .50 cal and 240B. Everyone else was 240B except the Buffalo which was .50 cal on a CROWS mount.

I was driver in one of these in 2008. Much better than a HMMWV. This one seems a little different than mine so I think its from later years. Mine didn't have extra armor on the outside or electric doors but its very similar otherwise. I had one of the driver infrared displays which was conceptually cool but actually very difficult to use, especially off road since its difficult to distinguish terrain features when its all the same temperature. The camera also didn't have a wide enough field of view so it was difficult to navigate corners. They topped out at about 85 mph which was fast for such a heavy vehicle and much faster than a HMMWV.

Sofi, did you not learn anything during your time with The Chieftain? You forgot to ask for an "Oh bugger, the MRAP is on fire!" test. :D

Engineers Lead the Way! Essayons! Too bad they don't have a Buffalo MRAP to take a look at, those were the vehicles I used in Iraq during my second tour. They were something else.
