Mowag Eagle III

[sirluke]

I'd like to know your opinion about the so called Eagle produced by Mowag (now called General Dynamics European Land Systems). It's used by the Swiss Army as a reconnaissance and forward observing vehicle. I use it almost every day but I would like a comparison with other countries's vehicle of the same kind.

The front end is from a Hummer, if not the whole chassis. I recognize the springs, a-arms and how the drive axle connects above the center of the wheel. I've worked with the American General Dynamics guys in other fields, they know their stuff. I'm sure it's a good truck.

If you somehow get it stuck, lightly press the brakes while giving it gas to engage full-time 4WD. One of our butter bars got his truck in a jam and the recovery crew enlightened us on that one. :m1:
