Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP)
The Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle is a type of military transport designed to withstand explosive blasts and ambush attacks. Its unique V-shaped hull helps deflect blasts from landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), providing enhanced protection for soldiers inside. MRAPs are commonly used in combat zones to transport troops safely and support various military operations.
These vehicles come in different models and configurations, tailored for specific missions. The U.S. Department of Defense has deployed MRAPs in various conflicts, including the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, significantly improving the safety of ground troops in hostile environments.
