Talk:Jackal (vehicle)

message: That seems a dubious claim to me. I know that the BBC source  backs it up but I'd like to see further verification - I suspect the reporter misunderstood something he was told. Dino246 (talk) 16:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: At least one of the other sources, the Daily Mail article, quoted 3ft ground clearance as well: "A unique air-suspension system can raise the seven-ton vehicle by 3ft, allowing it to clear obstacles." Happy to see cites to the contrary though and crucially the MoD press release doesn't mention it... Dick G (talk) 22:11, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "Jackal" is not a "family of vehicles" like the opening paragraph states. "Jackal" is just one vehicle which is in service with the British Army in two variations. The family is the High Mobility Transporter (HMT) which includes the HMT 400 (Jackal), HMT 600 (Coyote) and HMT Extenda. The article also mentions Coyote and Extenda, neither of which are "Jackals", and mentions the vehicles in service with other countries, despite those vehicles not being known as "Jackals" by them.
I propose we move the page to 'High Mobility Transporter' (or similiar) and structure the article around the three main versions, plus their variants, and write about the family beyond just the British Army. It's a lot more accurate than the mish-mashed state the article is currently in. TheArmchairSoldier (talk) 19:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I would support moving the page to High Mobility Transporter. I proposed moving it back in 2016. I have been updating the High Mobility Transporter section in the SC Group article for other countries and for the history of the HMT. As it may be a potentially controversial move I suggest you follow the WP:PCM process. Melbguy05 (talk) 11:41, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
