pelo que sei as especificações do LMV só protegem contra esplosões laterais, explosões por debaixo do casco, é outra historia, pois não tem forma de evitar a acelaração dos corpos dos ocupantes (estou a falar do casco em V que deflete a energia cinetica das explosões sob o casco) e como a maior ameaça hoje em dia (estou a falar do afeganistão) são os IED e os RPG7 a viatura tem que resistir aos dois tipos (e os IED não ficam todos fora da estrada, muitos deles têm pratos de pressão ou são enterrados na estrada e acionados por debaixo das viaturas), sendo que os RPG7 ja existe tecnologia fiavel e comprovada para os contrapor (as famosas gaiolas sobre a blindagem).
E não me fio muito no que vem escrito online, muita propaganda.
Algunas medidas de proteccion en este vehiculo:
Accommodation is provided for up to five personnel and there is a spacious rear cargo compartment. LMV has been designed to afford maximum protection for its occupants and encompass the following features:
* A citadel design was adopted whereby the wheels, suspension and engine are sacrificed for the sake of the crew. With wheel stations located at the vehicle corners, the point of mine detonation is as far away as possible from the crew cabin.
* The hull floor under the crew cell has a shallow V-shape to allow the mine blast to vent away from the vehicle. Additionally, high ground clearance - up to 470mm - counters the effects a mine exploding under the belly of the vehicle.
* The cabin floor is made up of a tri-layered, impact absorbing honeycomb sandwich that collapses on mine detonation. All heavy mechanical items which could become projectiles following a mine blast, are installed away from the crew cell.
* All four passenger doors have been designed to withstand the shock waves created by an explosion and will remain firmly closed in such an event. A sturdy tubular steel roll cage maximises crew compartment protection, should the blast cause an inversion of the vehicle.
* Much thought has been given to the need to distance potential hazards from the crew area. As an example, the fuel tank is installed at the rear of the vehicle with the filler cap as far away as possible from the cabin.
* Provision has been made to stow kit and equipment at the rear of the vehicle and not under seats where in the event of an explosion they could become potentially hazardous projectiles.
* Crew survivability is further enhanced by the installation of crashworthy suspension seats fitted with lateral headrests and five-point quick-release safety harnesses, and fastened to the roll cage - not the floor pan.
http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/vehicles/iveco/press1.htmlYo no se,como lo veras TYR,pero para no estar diseñado como MRAP,tiene muy buena proteccion en cuanto a minas,e IED's se refiere.
En cuanto a lo de que no te fias de lo que viene online,pues puede ser discutible o no,pero lo cierto y creible es que muchos paises OTAN se estan dotando de este vehiculo.De hecho ,aqui mismo,en España,hace unos meses se abrio un concurso para dotarnos de 2 tipos de mrap(por motivo de las bajas tenidas en libano y afghanistan,en vehiculos como BMR o VAMTAC.Este ultimo de caracteristicas similares al hummer) ,uno de 5 plazas maximo y otro de escuadra,de unas 10-12 plazas por cada vehiculo.Pues el ganador en la categoria de 5 plazas fue el susodicho LMV.Lo que quiero decir es que España estaba buscando un vehiculo que estuviese bastante protegido en ese segmento y se opto por esta opcion.Ahora,si la decision de un ministerio de defensa ,que pertenece a la OTAN no te parece creible..pues etonces quizas tengamos un problema.
Ademas de España ,han comprado este vehiculo Belgica,Gran Bretaña,Italia(cuyo vehiculo ha salvado la vida a varios soldados en Afghanistan en varios ataques),Noruega(Que tambien los usa en Afghanistan),Croacia(tambien los tiene en Afghanistan)...etc.
SALUDOS!
