Military vehicles for special and airborne operations are becoming increasingly topical due to the evolution of wars.<\/p>\n
Combat is becoming more frequent in the field of what is known as asymmetric warfare<\/strong>, in which special operations groups play a fundamental role. Their missions often take place in difficult terrain and in theaters of operations where it is not possible to have a military logistics chain<\/strong>, so they have to rely on local resources. This encourages manufacturers to make vehicles whose spare parts are compatible with widely used civilian models<\/strong>, such as Toyota SUVs.<\/p>\n In June of last year, the German firm Rheinmetall presented the Caracal<\/strong>, a vehicle focused on special and transported operations made in collaboration with ACS and Mercedes-Benz. In fact, the chassis on which it is made in Caracal is that of the famous Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV<\/strong>, whose military versions have been active in the Armed Forces of Germany and other countries for many years. Today I came across this video from Rheinmetall showing the Caracal:<\/p>\n
