Final Jackal 3 for the British Army Rolls Off the Production Line at Babcock

Babcock International and Supacat have completed the last tactical vehicles of the Jackal 3 type from a contract for the British Army. This included 123 4×4 models and three vehicles of the extended Extenda version with six wheels. The latter variant also included the final vehicle, which rolled off the line at Babcock in Devonport, as the company announced yesterday Monday. It is now undergoing tests before it is officially handed over to the Army.

The Jackal High Mobility Transporters (HMT) developed by Supacat is a versatile, highly mobile weapons platform that can be used for reconnaissance, patrols, and logistical tasks. It was originally developed in response to an urgent operational need of the British Army for Afghanistan. Later, the vehicle became an integral part of the Army’s ground operations and tactics. Jackal variants are used for long-range reconnaissance, rapid assault operations, for fire support, and for convoy protection.
