BvS10 Viking All-Terrain Vehicle – Amphibious Armored Beast of Modern Warfare

Описание: The BvS10 Viking is one of the most versatile and rugged all-terrain armored vehicles in service today. Born from Swedish engineering and developed in partnership with the British Royal Marines, this articulated, amphibious platform has become the go-to vehicle for operations where tanks and trucks simply can’t go. Whether it’s snow, ice, mud, swamps, steep mountains, or even flooded coastlines, the BvS10 delivers unmatched mobility, protection, and versatility for NATO and allied forces.

In this video, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the BvS10:

Origins & development: From the Bandvagn 206 to the modern BvS10, designed for extreme environments.

Design & engineering: Articulated dual-cabin design with amphibious capability and modular armor protection.

Mobility & performance: Can climb 60% slopes, ford 1.2m water, swim at 10 km/h, and travel 800 km without resupply.

Variants: Troop carrier, command vehicle, ambulance, logistics hauler, recovery unit, and air-defense platform.
