PALUBA

Austrija je od Drugog svetskog rata neutralna ali su njene oružane snage ponekad na usluzi za međunarodne snage u kriznim područjima sveta. Kako je bezbednost vojnika na terenu prioritet svake vojske tako se i Austrija odlučila da poradi na bezbednosti svojih trupa. Za taj posao je odvojeno 104 miliona eura, za nabavku 150 višenamenskih oklopljenih vozila.

Izbor je pao na Ivecov MLV (Light Multirole Vehicle).

Iveco MLV

Austria has been a neutral power since World War 2, but contingents from its small armed forces are sometimes made available for international deployment. The growing realization that blast resistant vehicles are an essential piece of equipment in any combat zone appears to have finally reached Austria’s priority list, spawning a EUR 104 million (about $138 million) contract for 150 “protected multipurpose vehicles.”

Austria’s choice is Iveco’s Light Multirole Vehicle, also called MLV and known as “Panther” in British service or the related “Lince” (Lynx) in Spain. These vehicles are similar to American Hummers in size and number of occupants, but their higher cost reflects an array of fundamental design differences that are designed to protect their occupants from mine blasts and small arms fire. The vehicles can also mount a remote-controlled weapon/surveillance turret on the roof, and Austria’s vehicles will be fitted with an unspecified design. Around 1,500 of these vehicles are now ordered or in service with Italy, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Norway, and Spain.

About 51% of this particular purchase will be “returned” to Austrian firms, either through direct manufacturing of via industrial benefits programs elsewhere. The first Iveco LMV vehicles are expected to arrive in 2009, and they are expected to become operational with the Osterrichs Bundesheer in 2010.

Austrijska vojska preuzela prvih šest lakih oklopnih vozila Iveco LMV Husar

Austrijska vojska preuzela je isporuku prvih šest laki višenamjenskih vozila tvrtke Iveco iz Italije za potrebe izviđanja. Šest lakih oklopnih 4x4 vozila Husar, prvi su primjerci ukupno naručenih 150 vozila. Trenutno, austrijska vojska operira sa 150 ophodnih vozila Horseman. Njihova zamjena sa vozilima Husar koštat će austrijski vojni proračun 121 milijun USD. LMV Husar ima daljinski upravljanu oružanu stanicu i laki oklop za zaštitu od vatrenog oružja, mina i šrapnela granata.

"Sa 'Husarom radimo veliki korak u moderniziranju opreme naših vojnika", rekao je ministar obrane Gerald Klug. "Pripadnici OS će biti zaštićeniji u operacijama i značajno mobilniji."
