V-GOR, the Steel Wolf Monster of the Indonesian Police FPU Task Force in Sudan
May 2, 2018 / by Author admin
ANGKASAREVIEW.COM - Recently, peacekeeping troops from neighboring Malaysia, who are part of the UNIFIL troops, received a Guardian 4×4 troop carrier vehicle (APC) made by IAG. Used as an armored taxi for Malbatt 850 personnel in Lebanon.
Long ago in 2008, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) brought in V-GOR (read: vigor) vehicles to support the mobility of peacekeeping troops from Indonesia taken from the Indonesian Police Mobile Brigade Corps, part of UNAMID (United Nations-African Union Hybrid Mission in Darfur). This unit is known as the FPU Task Force (Formed Police Unit) and began serving in Darfur, Sudan in December 2008.
This troop carrier vehicle was purchased from a Jordanian company that obtained a license from Hatehof (Haifa Technical Office), Israel. In its home country, this vehicle is known as Wolf, while in Jordan it uses the name Vigor (Werewolf), a mythical creature in the form of a werewolf that is a European folk tale that spread from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France.
The Wolf 4×4 prototype began to be demonstrated in 2005. This vehicle is designed as a troop carrier that has tough protection and high mobility for use in urban combat. Wolf is appointed as a replacement for the M113 tracked APC owned by the Israeli military (IDF).
The Israeli Ministry of Defense at that time ordered 150 Wolf units from Hatehof which received mission systems and weapons from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Once in service, the IDF immediately used it in Operation Bringing Home the Goods on March 4, 2006.
Hatehof built the Wolf based on the Ford F550 commercial truck chassis or known as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), as an effort to reduce development costs and cheap maintenance costs.
There were no major changes, except for the replacement of the armored body and replacement of tires (wheels). The engine and automotive systems including the dashboard were maintained.
Powered by a 6,700 cc turbo diesel engine with 325 hp mated to an automatic transmission, the Wolf can be driven up to a maximum speed of 130 km/h on flat roads and an operational range of 500 km.
With dimensions of 5.9 m long, 2.3 m wide, and 2.5 m high, the Wolf can accommodate 12 troops including the driver and commander. The weight of this vehicle reaches 8.6 tons.
In addition to being offered as a troop transport vehicle (APC), the Wolf is also available in a two-stretcher field ambulance variant, a logistics support vehicle, and a command vehicle. For self-defense, a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun can be mounted on the roof, operated manually or using a remote (RCWS).
As a troop transport vehicle, the Wolf's protection system is quite tough. Its steel skin is able to withstand bullets from 5.56 and 7.62 mm caliber assault rifles. Its hull is designed to withstand the effects of mine explosions and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Before going bankrupt, the Hatehof factory located in the Ziporit Industrial Park area, Nazareth, Israel had rolled out 150 Wolf vehicles. In addition to being used by the Israeli military, it is also used in six other countries, namely Brazil, Georgia, Ethiopia, Macedonia, Romania, and Indonesia with the V-GOR version.
Hatehof was founded in 1947 with its first attempt to make steel layers for train cars. The company then developed into a tanker truck manufacturer in 1954. In 2011, Hatehof experienced financial difficulties and in 2016 changed ownership by using a new name as Carmor Integrated Vehicle Solutions.
