Re: Собстнно ответ
Приветствую
Какая КРАСИВАЯ машина. Это не тот первый блин. Чувствуется опытная рука. Южная Африка, Англия, у короля в имени папочки КБ - эстеты. Вспомнить иx Крокодило-центуриона, desert bikes.

AB3 Black Iris and Desert Iris light special forces vehicles
Development
The AB3 Black Iris/Desert Iris Special Forces utility vehicle was developed by the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) working in association with SHP Motorsports of the United Kingdom. Extensive prototype field trials were conducted in Jordan and South Africa from mid-1999 to mid-2001 and included deployment of some 4 × 2 Black Iris vehicles with Jordanian forces on UN operations in Sierra Leone. Since then, the Jordanian Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has placed orders for initial quantities of the vehicle in both anti-tank and reconnaissance configurations. Further quantities of the vehicle in both 4 × 2 and later 4 × 4 versions have been ordered by GHQ Jordan Armed Forces and these are intended as replacements for M151 Jeeps and light trucks. The 4 × 4 version is known as the Desert Iris.
Current plans are to build 400 vehicles per year at the new KADDB facility at Duleil.
Civilian versions of the vehicle are under development to address the tourist and recreational markets.
Description
The AB3 is based on a space frame chassis with the engine located at the front under a bonnet. The driver and passenger are seated centrally under roll-bar protection while a weapon mounting is located to the rear over a limited capacity cargo area. Various weapons options are available including 12.7 or 7.62 mm machine gun mounts, or platforms for a TOW launcher or 106 mm recoilless rifle.
The standard AB3 is capable of carrying up to six soldiers in combat order plus stores up to a maximum of 500 kg. Heavy duty versions can carry up to 750 kg.
Early vehicles were powered by a 2-litre diesel engine though this was later replaced with a 2.4-litre unit. Production vehicles are now powered by a 2.8-litre, four-cylinder in-line SOHC Toyota diesel engine, though the design of the engine compartment enables a range of both diesel and petrol engines to be fitted as required. In all cases the standard transmission is manual, although automatic transmissions are now available as an option.
