Royal Marines Load Lightweight Vehicles Onto US Marines’ Osprey MV-22 for the First Time

Royal Marines can now be deployed on raiding operations with their fast lightweight vehicles from the US Marines’ Osprey MV-22 tiltrotor aircraft after a successful trial in Australia. For the first time a UK Polaris MRZR was loaded onto the unique Osprey aircraft as 40 Commando prepare for major joint exercises in Darwin, in Australia’s Northern Territory. Fitting the MRZR onto the Osprey ultimately ensures Commandos can continue to operate seamlessly with the US Marines around the globe, wherever needed. The turbocharged MRZR 4×4 can travel up to 60mph and enables Commandos to move fast, strike deep and get out before the enemy know what’s happened. Coupling that with the ability to load onto the Osprey, means Royal Marines can be landed behind enemy lines, carry out raids and withdrawn quickly by the US Marines Corps. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak
