Trojan Name

edit

The FV432 was to have been named the Trojan, but this name was discontinued early-on due to possible confusion/conflict with a car company of the same name. Ian Dunster 16:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Bulldog

edit

The Land Rover Wolf is a canvas sided vehicle. I think you meant the Snatch. And this was one of a number of reasons why the Bulldog was ordered, along with a delay in the FRES program that was meant to replace such vehicles, and to free up Warriors for more important tasks. This was already stated at the begining of the Article. The bulldog section is quite inadequate and rather botched at the moment. I'll try and gather some reference and rewrite it this evening.

Tank Rampage

edit

I'm not going to put it in the article as someone else is probaly better suited to do this than I and I may have got it wrong, but in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvgjs98lADM their seems to be a civilian owned FV432 with a odd turret (not a military turret thats for sure) and black paint on the rampage, It's noticable as being a FV432 at 1:55 in the clip. Also another source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/6898667.stm A better source: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/tank-versus-towers/2007/07/14/1183833835452.html User:JozorP 05:22, 20 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Looks like the US built M113, do you think this was a British copy of the American APC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.190.230.1 (talk) 05:20, 4 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Very unlikely - certainly no evidence to that effect. Appears more a combination of convergent evolution and design incest - the same way that all NATO MBTs look very similar despite being very different beasts. 62.196.17.194 (talk) 16:06, 17 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
The M113 is aluminium-hulled, the FV432, steel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.11.216 (talk) 10:02, 10 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
More likely it would be the other way round, as the Americans copy British designs more often than vice versa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.24.171.177 (talk) 21:18, 9 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
