M88A2 헤라클레스 – 사진 및 비디오

사진 갤러리 M88A2 헤라클레스 복구 차량, The M88 Recovery Vehicle is one of the largest armored recovery vehicles (ARV) currently in use by United States Armed Forces. There are currently three variants, the M88, M88A1 and M88A2 HERCULES (Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lifting Extraction System). The M88 series has seen action most noticeably in the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan, and to a lesser extent during the Kosovo War, where they were deployed to help recover heavy armored vehicles of the Allied ground units. The current M88A2 replacement cost is around US$2,050,000. The M88A2 이전 모델보다 약간 더 크므로 (8.3 x 3.4 x 3.2m에 비해 8.6 x 3.7 x 3.2m) 더 낮은 최고 속도 (40km / h)와 현저히 낮은 도로 범위 (450km에 비해 322km)를 유지합니다. 제동과 조향 능력도 개선되었습니다. 또한 M88A2는 이전 모델에는 없는 장갑 트랙 스커트와 아플리케 장갑 패널을 포함한 장갑 보호 기능을 업그레이드했습니다. M88은 또한 핵, 생물학, 화학(NBC) 방어 체계와 연막 생성기가 부족하며, 이후 M88A1 및 M88A2 모델에 장착되었습니다. 또한 시리즈를 통해 승무원 수가 5명에서 3-4명으로, 3명으로 감소했습니다
