Summary edit

Description
English: A Ridgback Protected Vehicle.

The MOD has ordered 157 Cougar 4x4s from Force Protection Incorporated in America, as an Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR).

Having arrived in the UK, the Cougar base vehicles will morph into the Ridgback - being upgraded with integrated additional protection, weapons, communications systems and specialist electronic counter-measures equipment - and then join their big brother, the Mastiff, on operations.

Ridgback and Mastiff protected vehicles, along with the Viking, Bulldog, Warrior, Vector, and Snatch (all currently being used on operations) are variously suited to different threats, terrains and tempos of operation. Together, they give UK commanders the ability to choose the best vehicles for each situation.

The total number of new protected vehicles MOD is delivering to support operations in Afghanistan and Iraq now stands at almost 600.
