От: Обмисля се подмяната на старите БТР
Ето какво ни предлагат в същност американските другари:
Накратко в превод: По-добра броня, въоръжение и защита от мини, отколкото на Хъмви, но по-зле от MRAP. Използва се много от армията на САЩ като превозно средство на военната полиция. Има ограничен капацитет за превоз на личен състав. Направили са версия БТР за Ирак (иракската полиция) чрез удължаване и увеличаване на височината на съществуващата машина. В така получения БТР могат да се натикат 2+8. От тази версия са продали и на Колумбия.
Американците НЕ я използват.

Накратко: Прилично возило, НО с много ограничения - тясно, трудно се излиза от него, неудобно при каране без път, стар дизайн, който не осигурява достатъчно защита срещу мини.

Textron’s M1117 ASV is a modern-day armored car, with armor, weapons, and mine protection that are superior to a Humvee jeep, but blast-resistance that falls short of existing MRAP vehicles. It is widely used by the US Army as a Military Police vehicle, and has limited carrying capacity. The M117 ASV Infantry Carrier Vehicle (ICV) variant has been stretched 24 inches between the wheel base, and its head room and volume has been increased by adding a 6-inch extension over the base roof line. These changes turn it into a full armored personnel carrier that can fit 2 crew members, 8 dismounts, and 1 additional gunner, though exact seating is set up per customer specifications. Weaponry appears to change, as the M1117’s distinctive twin-weapon full turret is replaced by an armored cupola that can hold either a .50 caliber/ 12.7mm machine gun, or a 40mm grenade machine gun. The M1117 ICV variant is available in 3 different protection levels, depending on which applique armor system is added to the vehicle.

My MP squad had an ASV during my Iraq tour and while it was a decent enough vehicle, it had severe limitations. No ramp, and the side doors were a pain to open and close. The soldiers inside the ASV, pretty much stayed inside the ASV the whole patrol. The ASV design is old, and lacks a V shaped hull. We had some serious injuries due to IED's. I loved having one though, it made hauling a broken down uparmored Humvee back to base a breeze, kick ass A/C too.
I used to see the Iraqi ASV's painted blue and white around CP9 in Mosul and wonder what the second window was for..... holy shit, they expect EIGHT people to sit in the back of an ASV??? And then DISMOUNT from it????
Yeah, there is a reason we're selling them those variants and not using them ourselves.......
We had a bunch of ASV's assigned to our platoon, but as we got more MRAP's we phased them off the line. Way too uncomfortable to be riding in on cross-country convoys, not to mention the view ports sucked for spotting anything, and dismounting was difficult at best.
