Protected army trucks convoy to Europe for NATO's Steadfast Defender 🪖 🇬🇧

Several British Army convoys of Ridgeback & Mastiff protected patrol vehicles, bridge transporters, engineering vehicles and more travel through Hampshire, UK for loading onto ships en route to major NATO Exercise Steadfast Defender.

The 4 wheeled drive Ridgeback & 6 wheeled drive Mastiff Protected Patrol Vehicles are heavily armoured and designed with a large cage surrounding them to protect against projectiles. They are used for patrols in conflicted areas to protect convoys, transport casualties, and any other combat needs.

Also seen are Alvis Unipower Tank Bridge Transporters, Iveco Trakkers transporting JCBs, Oshkosh Heavy Equipment Transporters with JCBs & Terrier Armoured Diggers, Foxhound Protected Patrol Vehicles, Land Rover escort vehicles and MAN Logistic Support Vehicles & Recovery. These are just a small fraction of the vehicles that are being deployed. Most are from the 7th Light Mechanised Brigade Combat Team.

Ministry of Defence contracted Roll-on, Roll-off ship 'MV Anvil Point' shipped some of the vehicles seen in this video from Marchwood, UK to Emden, Germany for Exercise Brilliant Jump 24 in Poland. This is a test of NATO's Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF), before proceeding onto other exercises hosted by other countries under the wider Steadfast Defender exercise. Other vehicles were transported by 'MV Eddystone', seen here: https://youtu.be/mu1-tUuRNOs?si=GBAhMUHHPrwdRB9Z
