The photos in this set were made by my nephew who works for an American company training Iraqi police .According to my correspondent these are the new MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles. He says..."The black box at the front sends off a very large heat signature to help delay or hopefully prevent any enemy detonation of radio controlled explosives in the roadway......"
There is a very complete article about this truck and related vehicles at Wikipedia. These trucks are being rushed to theater at great expense under an emergency budget allocation. It costs $750,000 to airlift one MRAP to theater and the military have even contracted with Russia for use of their huge Antonov AN 124 cargo planes to expedite delivery. Sadly, due to the deterioration of our industrial infrastructure there are only two steel mills in the United States capable of producing the special armored steel needed for these vehicles. There is no question, however, that these new trucks have saved scores, if not hundreds of lives, as they are extremely well designed to withstand attack by IED and ambush.

An MRAP armored vehicle goes through a training run on the Shuttle Landing Facility to support NASA's Commercial Crew Program at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 45,000-pound mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle, or MRAP, was originally designed for military applications. The MRAP offers a mobile bunker for astronauts and ground crews in the unlikely event they have to get away from the launch pad quickly in an emergency.

Originally designed for military applications, NASA’s mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, or MRAPs, will be used in the unlikely event of an emergency at the launch pad prior to liftoff. The vehicles, seen here during a Boeing/United Launch Alliance emergency egress system demonstration at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Launch Complex 41 in Florida on June 19, 2018, offer a mobile bunker for astronauts and ground crews, should they need to get away from the launch pad quickly in an emergency.

Following a training run on the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, MRAP back doors are opened showing seating in the armored vehicle. The 45,000-pound mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle, or MRAP, was originally designed for military applications, but will support the agency's Commercial Crew Program at the spaceport. The MRAP offers a mobile bunker for astronauts and ground crews in the unlikely event they have to get away from the launch pad quickly in an emergency.

This is a 1:16 scale model of M-ATV MRAP vehicle, customized according to our customer's requirements. This model is meant for trade shows and presentations, therefore it produced from high durability plastic, metal and reinforced with metal and carbon fiber.
This model was designed in 3D software based on the earlier 3D models of the 1:8 scale models of the M-ATV MRAPs. The customized enclosure/cargo compartment was produced by rapid prototyping. In order to reduce the model's cost we used a pre-producted replica of a base M-ATV, which we upgraded and adopted to accommodate this custom enclosure and accompanying components. The model was assembled and finished manually.
The model is mounted on a mahogany base with a clear protective cover. It is packed in a military grade Pelican transit case with a customized foam lining.
The model was appreciated by the customer for its quality, accuracy and high level of details. In a week after submission the model headed to its first trade show.

A Soldier from the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team tries on the Gunner Restraint System (GRS), a harness designed to keep the gunner inside a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle in the event of a rollover. The GRS was just one of many safety features the 173rd Soldiers learned during the U.S. Army's first MRAP Operators Course in Europe, conducted at the 7th Army Joint Multinational Training Command's Hohenfels Training Area, Germany, July 28-31, 2009.

Batmanning is a photo fad that involves hanging vertically from objects by their feet, mimicking a bat’s roosting position. This was taken in Kirkuk, Iraq during Operation New Dawn.
These things are as large as a house. Notice the 25000 pound limit.
Kandahar Afghanistan - Summer of 2010.
January 2012:
"The O-34 AHMAV (Adaptable Highly Mobile Armoured Vehicle) was designed by a hitherto unknown company with equally anonymous roots and participated in global MRAP trials, gaining much success and interest from prospective operators. However, despite enthusiasm for the design, the company responsible declined all offers.
However, the vehicles have recently been spotted participating in the recent Omani revolution, working under the mysterious FLOP organisation in their war to "liberate" the country.
The vehicle, known as the Zengi is known to be a system very similar to the British Ocelot, but defeated the latter in the global trials.
A highly adaptable vehicle, the O-34 is capable of mounting a variety of armour kits and a plethora of weapons. The model here is shown with the maximum armour protection and a remote operated Heckler & Koch GMG in FLOP livery. The vehicle sports a crew of two and seats five others in this guise.
Regarded as a very proficient vehicle, the O-34 can withstand most infantry portable AT weapons and is very mobile. However, in the trials, the up-armoured versions were identified to roll alarmingly to one side when cornering, causing one test driver to soil herself, but also making handling very difficult.
The O-34A can mount the M2 .50cal MG, the H&K GMG and a 20mm cannon, produced by the company. Lighter armoured editions can sport mortars, anti-tank missiles and SAMs.
The O-34 has seen active service with FLOP and will be expected to operate against British forces when they deploy to Oman later this year."
