How many versions of HUMVEEs

[CuteQA 0]

MMM...  fix the topic to "How many version HUMVEEs are in US Army."

A humvee with AMRAAM!!

Also, is US Army still using m113 ambulance or they use Humvee do the job?

M113 is still in use, I remember seeing videos of it in the gulf war.

Are you sure those are AMRAAMs? They look huge!

[edc 0]

Yeah, I think those are AIM-120's(though I guess those would be MIM-120's since their launched from the ground) , they look like it, and I've heard something about it.

Here's a link http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/aim-120.htm

The part about the hummer mounted ones is about 1/2 way down the page

There are a huge amount of different types of hummers, several air defense types, one w/ more armor, ones w/ tows, mk19s, m-60s, m-2s, I've seen one w/ a .50 caliber sniper rifle (to destroy mines), medic ones, etc.

Will this take over the avenger system???

[edc 0]

Probably not, since the avenger is more of a shorter range system, and this would be more of a medium range system.  If it was to replace anything it would probably be the HAWK sam(though the hawk sam is more of a fixed SAM site, versus this being more of a front line, mobile, site).

I've ridden in one when we went to one of the firepower demonstrations at McGuire (I prefer my Dad's staff Jeep though, yeah baby )

those things need some better shock absorbers. you can stick missles on them, sniper rifles, machine guns, but I still hit my head on the ceiling every time we hit a pothole.

There are a huge number of variants on the basic HMMWV chassis.

That particular variant is known as the HMRAAM, and that is an AMRAAM FSPilot - an AMRAAM is 3.6m in length.

I was checking out the War on Iraq site, and saw about 20 hmvees.

AT

Heavy Grenadier

Sea Humvee just like a hmvee accept it floats.

and lots of more but 20 is the limit.

I thinnk humvee is going to be a legend in the US army history

[Jinef 2]

Landrovers are better.

[FSPilot 0]

Bah, nothing beats the jeep. Especially in OFP. I can't see a thing when I'm driving that HUMVEE.

[LaPoi 0]

Yeah, it doesn't make sharp turns and takes up too much room.

[FSPilot 0]

If only they made it manual transmission though. that would just make my day

Imagine firing it off ur shoulder

aha found a few pictures of a m113 with what looks like a vulcan cannon and equipment on the back to lay down smoke screens.

Wouldn`t a rocket take both of them out so the humvee has speed as an advantage?

[Renagade 0]

Check out this humvee

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">This is a stupendous test shot of the LOSAT (Line of Sight Anti Tank missile). It's being launched off of a HUMVEE, which carries two loaded canisters on each side (4 missiles total). The commander/gunner can acquire and track three targets simultaneously, and engage one. Since the missile is hypervelocity (5000 feet per second), and has a maximum range of 5 kilometers, it doesn't take long to reqcquire and engage the next> two targets. The missile carries a kinetic kill warhead and penetrates all known or projected armor; it is 5 times more lethal than today's hottest tank round. It is also air droppable by parachute and can be sling carried by helicopter.<span id='postcolor'>

what's the make on that tank that is hit?

I have seen a Humvee ambulance once, so I know they have them. That was back in 1996 I think.
