Mowag Eagle IV

The Swiss developed "Eagle IV" is a class II protected vehicle, currently used by the EU armed forces in various configurations.

It can carry 4 soldiers in a protected crew-compartment, offering good protection against small-arms fire and small IEDs. With the retrofit of organic "Kevlar5"-material the vehicles ballistic protection was significantly enhanced.

All versions have smoke dispensers over the passenger doors, whilst only combat vehicles have a FLW-150 remote weapon station mounted on the roof, as well as an optional "Trophy" active protection system.

Sooo, I've finally got around to take some pictures with my new fancy Nikon DSLR camera. Some of the pictures are sadly out of focus, cause I'm just not used to such high-end equipment.

 

Stay tuned for more pictures!

(Taranis and the Odyssey will be next)
