V200 is a variant special to Singapore.Most nations use the V150 Commando.
Thing is old, prone to failure and a common target of hate amongst Air Base RPs.
"SAF V200 Commando light vehicle on static display during SAF Open House, somewhere in the mid 1980s.
A local Singapore air defense variant of the famous Cadillac V series with the portable Swedish Bofors RBS-70 low level SAM system removed. " - http://storm.webvis.net/omega4.html -
Why do Airbase RPs hate the V200 so much?

I'm just joking.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Why do Airbase RPs hate the V200 so much? It represents all the tough training they have to undergo.

Two types, both well-known.One is the GPMG version, the other is a RBS 70 air defence vehicle with a GPMG too.Originally posted by Icemoon:what the hell can this vehicle do?

Not too sure about the Air Force vehicles. But the Army ones are upgraded with new diesel engines and new transmissions.
Before this, the vehicles were prone to breakdowns, had petrol engines and can catch fire. There are some minor improvements to the internals, and rougher external surfaces for crews to climb up.
The Army vehicles have a 20mm gun and 2 x 7.62mm MGs. Great for section support fire. Not too sure how much longer the V200s will serve either. -

Originally an amphibious IFV, but these days, better used as urban defense and patrol vehicles.Originally posted by Icemoon:what's their use? It doesn't look like an IFV .. nor issit a scout jeep fitted with GPMG.
US SWAT teams use the similar V150 too. -

The so-called old "commando" tyres as seen in the pic are capable of blocking up to gpmg rounds. The newer michelin tyres which is similar to those found on 5-tonners are not bullet-proof though.Originally posted by SerialBox:[quote]Originally posted by LazerLordz:
