The famous HMMWV’s days are numbered. The Army has made its fifth order for the new Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, officially coming in four versions: the M1278 Heavy Guns Carrier, the M1279 Utility, the M1280 General Purpose, and the M1281 Close Combat Weapons Carrier.
According to a release by OshKosh Defense, this order consists of 748 vehicles and over 2,350 installed kits. The vehicle is currently in Low-Rate Initial Production, and the first units are expected to be equipped with the vehicle by the middle of Fiscal Year 2019,with a planned Initial Operating Capability by the end of 2020.
The HMMWV has served for over 30 years, but like the Jeep it replaced in the 1980s, it was proving to be incapable of meeting the demands of a modern battlefield. For the Jeep, the problem was keeping up with armored fighting vehicles like the M1 Abrams tank and the M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

Хаммер всё равно лучше!
humvee its not heavy its made from aluminium, diesel its low price, whats the point of chnaging, because humwee replace jeeps not tanks
damn motor t is about to be the safest mos in the marine corps
The killer argument is this:
The armor’s weight of the HMMWV squashes its suspension, leaving litte range for the wheel to traverse.
Most naturally, having changed the requirments so drastically, to incorporate effective armor,
necessitates a new vehicular concept.
The US government wouldn’t be buying these things if they didn’t plan on being in Iraq/Afghanistan for a long time.
there’s a reason this country is over 20 trillion in debt.
see a problem with the doors the ring they have at the handle i see in many vid a horseshoe can be dropped into them and lock the doors from the outside preventing exitting from the inside
Because it gets blown the F UP
the army was told not to buy the hummer by people that tested it junk then junk now never intended to protect like tank all these replacements are just another waste of taxpayer money
Oh so thats why they left all those humvees to the terrorist
The last thing any terrorist will see are the head lights of the JLTV coming right at them.
Should have used the Cummins engine in it coupled that Allison transmission. Perfect!!!
i like it but they should keep humvees
The hood looks very flimsy. Is it made of plastic or fiberglass? I looks like the engine could be destroyed by small arms fire.
Can I get one with a .50 on the back?
Ya in case humvee wasnt big enough
because money
Hate hate hate the damn sound track. Stop it,
They should have never stopped using the Jeep
And how much fuel does it need?
All robot channels get blocked…..
So it uses the same engine as the NEW humvees and same trans…
это не грязь.
We could do without the annoying techno noise.
like the video but hate the voice, no human touch to it.
Fake offroders for fucking country.
Now that’s a Ghetto Blaster.
i prefer a warthog
Anyone know what those red and blue hook ups on the front and rear are for?
c est bizarre que tout c est voiture américaine ressemble fortement au voiture russe .
Why ruin this video with the terrible synthetic voice? Unforgivable. Unwatchable!
Dear Santa………
The hummwv was not made for battle: no armour, exposed the tourette soldier, incapable to protect against land mines, high fuel consumption, vulnerable against light machine guns and assault rifles, no air conditioning (It is important in hot places).
the more time u drive and get the job done less tim u have to cumm up w/ stupid nick names if u were to work instead of naming u balls ud get work done get her done .
It looks fucking ugly but function is better than looks
Long live Kurdish forces YPG YPJ SDF in syria Peshmerga in iraq and PKK PYD in turkey
The humvee served us well, but its time to retire her. Time to upgrade to something more modern.
the old humvee can go to 60mph, i think 0 to 60 in 36 seconds too
One reason why replacing the Hummve? HMmmmmmm….to justify the $650 billion WAR BUDGET and get the 1% richer and to make it impossible the country will have FREE HEALTHCARE! Don’t you know that 5% of IRAQ WAR EXPENSE CAN PAY FOR A FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!! Now you know the real answer.
But…….the new model is so freaking ugly……..
The Queensland government in Australia bought the Hummer for the prison system for some reason maybe because its not their money and don’t care about extravagance one bit , they were so unreliable and were out of action so often that in the end they abandoned using them , so I hope the Yanks have got these new vehicles down pat , also you have a shocking trade deficit because of Americans buying foreign goods .
To be specific: The JLTV is replacing ONLY the Up-Armored Humvee; standard Humvee’s will still be in use and manufactured.
