About the JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle

With the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF) HMV Hayate and Type 73 Small Utility Vehicle fitted with little armor, in 1997 the JGSDF began development of a new highmobility light armored transportation vehicle. Capable of accommodating 4 personnel, the JGSDF Light Armored Vehicle is fitted with a 160hp 4-cylinder diesel engine, allowing it to reach top speeds of 100km/h.

Weighing just 4.5 tons, it is able to be carried by helicopter or transport aircraft for emergency air-drops. The gun mount on the roof can be fitted with a 5.56mm MINIMI machine gun or Light Anti-Tank Guided Missile. Vehicles deployed to Iraq were fitted with reinforced bulletproof windshields, with some vehicles fitted with wire cutters and a rotational armored cover around the gun mount for extra protection.
