Notes: This
light vehicle was designed for the requirements of the Spanish Parachute Brigade
and Foreign Legion, as well as some airmobile units in the Spanish Army.
It was designed for high mobility and to also have a good payload, while
being light enough to be parachuted or sling loaded from helicopters or loaded
inside larger helicopters. There is
a small winch in the front that has a capacity of 750 kilograms.
A variety of weapon mounts may be installed on the rear deck, and the
Fox-15D may tow up to 1.5 tons.

Model 88 Militar
Notes: This is a
light jeep-like vehicle produced by Santana of Spain, based on a design by Land
Rover of England. It is used by
Spain, Egypt, and Morocco. A soft
and hard top version is made. No
weapon is provided with the basic cost of the vehicle, but a post is installed
that may mount any NMT or NHT-compatible weapon, a MILAN ATGM, or a 90mm or
106mm recoilless rifle. A 60mm
mortar may also be installed in the rear of the vehicle, and fired from within.

Notes: This is a
close copy of the British Land Rover produced under license by Santana.
The biggest differences are the engine, its deep-wading capability, and
the strengthening to allow air drops.
Hard-top and soft-top versions are made, and the Model 109 is also built
in a number of variants.

URO 115 PM
Notes: This
truck entered Spanish service in 1984 and is still in service, though it has
been supplanted to some extend by the URO MT.
Like the MT, it is a heavily-built truck designed for rough terrain, with
a beefy suspension and an engine with a lot of torque, though it is a bit
underpowered. It comes in SWB and LWB
versions, differing only in their wheelbase, size, and weight; cargo carrying
capacity in the same in both cases.
The SWB version is used primarily for cargo and troop transport, while the LWB
is often fitted with a variety of special bodies and specialist equipment,
including shelter/van bodies for several different purposes ranging from command
posts to communications vehicles to workshops.
Other versions of the LWB variant include an ambulance, water and fuel
tankers, trucks with cranes mounted in the rear, fire trucks, a dump truck, and
a minibus. There are also several
civilian models. The engine is a
license-produced version of a US Perkins Military diesel engine.
The cab is of the cabover type, with a steel frame and aluminum sheet
metal for the walls, and is insulated. The suspension is 4x4, with both axles
having independent suspension and a frame designed to flex to a large degree.
The 115 PM has power steering.

Notes: This is a
very strong, very heavily built Spanish light-duty truck designed for rough
terrain. They were designed for
used in the mountainous areas of Spain and other areas where Spanish troops
might be deployed. The suspension
and shock absorbers are top notch.
Besides the basic cargo/troop carrier, there are a number of variants, including
a communications carrier, ambulance, tanker, workshop vehicle, wrecker, snow
plow, an antiaircraft gun platform, and a bus.
Twilight 2000
Notes: Greece and Turkey acquired a good number of them shortly before the
Twilight War.

UROVESA VAMTAC
Notes: The
VAMTAC (a Spanish acronym for High Mobility Tactical Vehicle) could easily be
mistaken for a HMMWV at first glance.
It is, however, an original design, built to the same specifications and
requirements as the HMMWV, thus the resemblance.
It is a somewhat larger vehicle than the HMMWV. So far, it is being used
by every branch of the Spanish military, Spanish Customs, Spanish National
Police, and Spanish Civil Protection.
It can also be seen in the hands of international news outfits like CNN
and BBC News, who use the vehicle to get into combat and disaster zones. The
VAMTAC has seen combat use in Afghanistan by the Spanish Army, as well as by
Spanish military forces used by UN peacekeepers in Congo and Lebanon. Other
users include the Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Morocco, Romania,
Thailand, and Venezuela. Spain, however, has recently stated their intent to
replace some or all of their VAMTACs with MRAP vehicles.
The engine of
the VAMTAC is designed to run without a hitch in temperatures between -20 and 50
degrees Celsius. It is capable of running over deep sand dunes, large rocks,
snow, and black ice. It is often used in
areas where normally only tracked vehicles can normally operate.
The VAMTAC can ford deep water; up to 750mm, or double that with a deep
fording kit. It is light enough to be carried as a sling load by heavy-lift
helicopters, and strong enough to be parachuted or LAPESed.
The user can buy the VAMTAC with an automatic or manual transmission. It
has a locking differential, with locking on the front wheels being separate from
the locking system for the rear wheels.
The suspension is 4x4, with run-flat puncture-resistant tires.
The four wheels have independent suspension, something that greatly
increases mobility over rocky and uneven terrain.
The VAMTAC also has four-wheel disc brakes and protected half-shafts.
A central tire pressure regulation is an option; so is light alloy plate
protection (from ground/terrain obstacles) for the entire underside. All this
makes the VAMTAC a very rugged and mobile vehicle off-road. A ramming bumper can
be mounted in front. Construction of the VAMTAC is mostly of light alloy,
polymer, and Kevlar. An option is a
suspension which can be switched from 4WD to 2WD.
1500 kg is the
standard cargo capacity, but the suspension can be strengthened to allow a cargo
capacity of 2000 kg. (The
higher-rated vehicles are normally used to tow light artillery or transport
heavy infantry such as ATGM and sapper teams.)
The cargo capacity mentioned is with a crew of two and 3 troops in the
cargo area. The engine is also a more powerful one than in the standard HMMWV.
The VAMTAC can mount a variety of weapons and use several configurations,
from a canvas-topped load carrier to a utility vehicle to weapons carriers for
heavy weapons such as ATGM launchers or recoilless rifles.
The “short” wheelbase version can, in its soft-top version transport a
driver and commander along with 10 troops with a standard load (combat equipment
and rucksacks) maximum; the “long” wheelbase version can transport 12 such
troops. There are load-carrying-capable rails on both sides of the cargo area on
the soft-top version. There are soft and hard-top ambulances, with the soft top
version able to carry two stretchers and a medical attendant, and a decent
supply of medical supplies; the hard-top version can carry four stretchers, an
attendant, and a better load plan with lockers and drawers for medical supplies.
An option for the hard-top ambulance is a tent that can be extended to increase
the length of the work area by two meters. Shelter carriers also exist, carrying
commo, command stations, maintenance and repair shelters; these are also
available with an extension tent. Other hard-top versions include a firefighting
vehicle. Other soft-top versions
include a 1500 of 2000-liter water or fuel tank (with refueling equipment), and
a crane/recovery vehicle. Options for both include a snowplow/digging and
terrain clearance vehicle (the plow used has an AV rating of 3); a winch with a
capacity of 5.4 tons and 60 meters of cable, a trailer towing vehicle, and a
towing/carrier vehicle for artillery, mortars, and ammunition. Power is provided
by a 188 horsepower Steyr M16 Monoblock turbocharged diesel; optionally, the
VAMTAC can be powered by 166-horsepower engine that offers more torque than the
standard engine. Equipped with this
engine, the VAMTAC is not capable of the speed that the 188-horsepower engine is
capable of, but can tow 3000 kg versus the 2500 kg of the standard VAMTAC, and
has a better percentage for the off-road speed and ability to power out of
hazards and obstacles.
Standard
armament for the soft-top versions is a machinegun or grenade launcher over the
commander; approximate ammunition load is 800 rounds for a .50-caliber
machinegun (you can estimate other weapons from this figure). On the hard-top
versions, this mount is in roughly the center of the vehicle, with the operator
sitting on a wide strap. Other weapons that can be carried on the VAMTAC include
ATGM launchers SAMs, and recoilless rifles. A mortar mount can be put in the
rear cargo section, allowing the vehicle to operate as an 81mm, 4.2”, or 120mm
mortar vehicle. There is a vehicle armor protection kit available for the
VAMTAC, which includes a mine protection kit. The hard-top version can mount an
RWS. Air conditioning is an option, except on the hard-top ambulance, where it
is a standard feature.
As with the
HMMWV, URO also sells a civilian version, which is outfitted in the way
specified by the buyer. Unlike the
HMMWV, there is no equivalent version to the H2 or H3.
