MOWAG Eagle V Light Protected Vehicle (Switzerland)

The MOWAG Eagle V is a further development of the previous Eagle IV. It is available in 4x4 and 6x6 configurations. A 4x4 version was publicly revealed in 2010, while the 6x6 followed in 2012. The 6x6 version was mainly aimed at the Australian Army requirement. The Eagle V fits the gap between uparmored HMMWVs and larger mine resistant ambush protected vehicles. For some time the Eagle V was marketed alongside the older Eagle IV. In 2013 German Army ordered 176 Eagle V 4x4 protected command vehicles. In 2020 Germany ordered another 80 Eagle Vs with 6x6 configuration as armored ambulances. In 2017 Denmark ordered a total of 36 Eagle Vs in 4 different configurations, including patrol, reconnaissance, electronic warfare and support. These were planned to be delivered in 2018-2019.
