Now issues are well underway.
Jackal arrives in Afghanistan - British Army Website

The first of the UK military's tough new 'Jackal' 4x4 patrol vehicles have been put through their paces in Helmand province, southern Afghanistan.

The introduction into service of up to 100 of the new vehicles will mark a significant improvement on the capabilities of the current weapons platform, the Land Rover-based Weapons Mounted Installation Kit (WMIK), for UK forces on the front line.

VERY NICE!

Not only is the Jackal arriving, but the UK variants of the Cougar (from Force Protection Incorporated in America) are on the way

What the jackal lacks in transport power will be made up for by the mastiff and ridgeback I guess.

Currently 248 Mastiff are in theatre, and Bulldog (qty. 500 of 900 ordered) were taken on as well.

The new kid on the block now is Panther.

Army Technology - British Army - FCLV (Future Command and Liaison Vehicle)

Then we have Fres underway as well, with the first Fres vehicle chosen being Piranha 5.

Come on guys, get modelling... some of this kit needs to appear in v1

For real,those vehicles are awesome,and I must say,I like the UK variant of the Cougar better than the U.S. variant...If only it had a 50cal. of some weapon mounted on top like the U.S. variant,it would completely have my heart,lol.

It does now, that pic was from development trials run before depolyment, the gun sits in the cutaway part on the guard on the roof.

^ Are other British vehicles getting the GPK? (gunner protection kit featured on US vehicles)
