Hello Guys

I search about the best Military vehicle.I want to build a heavy Military vehicle with many functions in middle or big scale.Do you have any favourite militay vehicle ? Please send a picture of the vehicles.

Thank you for your ideas .

On my list is the LVS truck that the U.S. Marines use. It doesn't have a huge amount of functions, but I find the modular characteristics of the truck interesting. Odd steering too.

The MMRS that dr_spock posted is one of the projects I'm working on at the moment.

Y'all muthatruckers don't know nuthin about military trucks. :laugh: One of my major obsessions is these kind of trucks, especially the weird, experimental ones.

For instance:

XM376

Cook Brothers T1

LeTourneau T4

Mack T8

Speaking of LeTourneau, that company also built the very weird Overland Train

The M65 Atomic Cannon had another kind of double ended tractor configuration for movement.

Lockheed Twister and XM-808. Both Vehicles are articulated, and have steering.

The two above vehicles were never adopted, but later led to the Lockheed Dragon Wagon (Not to be confused with the M25 Dragon Wagon.)

In turn, the Dragon Wagon led to the recent Oshkosh LVS, used by the USMC.

Take your pick, the LVS has an amazing number of variants, as it is modular.

The front unit actually is driveable on its own, and can be connected to any of a number of rear modules. That could be an interesting feature to implement.

Then, of course, there is the Oshkosh M1070 HETT

Also produced by Oshkosh is the PLS, the M1074 and M1075. My favorite is the M1074, because it has an additional crane just ahead of the flat rack.

Similar to, but distinct from the M1074/5 is the LVSR, the replacement for the LVS

And, of course, where would any list like this be without at least one mad Russian truck?

Then there's... whatever the heck this is.

And an experimental U.S. Marine Corp vehicle that I could not find the name of. It's called the BARC 3-X

And one last bit of madness from Uncle Sam: the Sterling T26.

I know it's not a truck, but rather cool nonetheless, the Swedish UDES-20

I tried looking up some concept military trucks for you, but all of them were much lamer than these real ones! It just goes to show you that sometimes that truth is weirder than fiction. I hope this helps you.
