First there was the Jeep, then came the Humvee. Now the US military has a new all-purpose vehicle that's destined to become another emblem of American fighting power: the JLTV.
"An armored Humvee is not designed to deal with landmines, the architecture is all wrong. "It sits far too close to the ground and doesn't have a V-shape hull (to deflect a blast)."Unlike in a Humvee, parts of the new JLTV fragment so explosive forces are carried away from the cab, helping to dissipate the deadly energy.
"Pieces of the vehicle will definitely fly off,They are supposed to behave that way. You can see significant levels of destruction to portions of the vehicle, and yet the crew capsule with that precious cargo inside remains intact -- and the crew survives."

yung ganitong v-hull shape design matagal ng ginagamit ng south african military sa truck vehicle transport nila.

it can even continue its course kahit several wheels were blown out.
