Hello list,
Many of you must have visited
http://www.specforce.net/coldwar/default.shtml
and have read what it says about MUTT.
However, I have pasted below the same:
"With a capability of carrying a crew of 4 (driver included), and a maximum
road speed of 120MPH, the M151 A2 Jeep is a Fast Attack Vehicle, or FAV,
that has been in service since 1979. It weights 1.5 tons, with a max range
of 350km, and with a powerful V-4 Petrol, 53 WX
at 4000RPM engine..........The M151 family consists of various models,
such as the M151, M151A1, M151A1C, M151A2, and M825 utility trucks and M718
and M718A1 ambulances. FAVs can be modified to mount various weapon
systems, from the M-2 .50 caliber machine gun or the M-240G machine gun to
the tube launched, optically tracked, wire-guided TOW
anti-tank missile.........."
If the above is true, I am confused. I have a 1984 M 151 A2. Is it a MUTT
or a FAV? Or is FAV a variant of MUTT? If so, how does one
distinguish the two? Do serial numbers help?
What are the pre-1979 M151 A2 called?
Also, are the facts given above true?
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
