Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Mastiff 2 Armoured vehicle leads the way at the Leconfield testing track in Leconfield, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Mastiff is a heavily armoured, 6 x six-wheel-drive patrol vehicle which carries eight people, plus two crew. It is currently on its third incarnation.

It is suitable for road patrols and convoys and is the newest in a range of protected patrol vehicles being used for operations.

With a maximum speed of 90 kph Mastiff is armed with the latest weapon systems, including a 7.62 mm general purpose machine gun, 12.7 mm heavy machine gun or 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.

These wheeled patrol vehicles have a less intimidating profile than tracked vehicles and give commanders on the ground in Afghanistan more options to deal with the threats they are facing.
