Talk:Mowag Piranha

I am pretty sure that the liscense is with General Motors of Canada, not General Dynamics. And, while we are at it, who is General Failure, and why is he trying to read my disk?

Merging information from the Piranha Vehicle

[edit]

There was an article entitled Piranha Vehicle -- which is probably a better name than Mowag Piranha. There should, IMO, be only one article. This article was older, had a longer edit history, and had other articles linking to it, so I tried to merge in the info that was in the Piranha Vehicle article that wasn't in this article. -- Geo Swan 17:38, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

lav 3 OR LAV III etc

[edit]

This topic is a bit of a mess. New Zealand has purchased 100+ LAV3 variants/derivatives of the Piranha but searching Wikipedia, you find various hits with little information to make sense of this family of AFV's. Think it a least needs 'LAV3' linked into LAV III topic.

I will try & update the topic sometime, but I am still new to Wikipedia editing.


I've uploaded a few photos, made available by DND. Michael Z. 2005-10-2 06:06 Z

So Many copies.

[edit]

I was reading The Encyclopedia Of Tanks And Armoued Fighting Vehicles,and I noticed that there were allot of APC and AFVs that seem to be based on the Mohwag Piranha. I will try to add them to Wikipedia when I get the chance Dudtz 5/9/06 4:17 PM EST

UK & Piranha V

[edit]

Might be worth noting the new Piranha V has been selected as part of the British armies £16b FRES programme. Which should result in the UK acquiring some 1000+ vehicles. They will be fitted with the Swedish ADS active protection system and possibly UK DSTL's new electrically charged armour.

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:MOWAG which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 05:00, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LAV-25 and ASLAV should be part of the Piranha II family.

[edit]

It seems that the Canadian AVGP aka LAV I was the only licensed-built Piranha I derivative. The LAV-25 was actually derived from the LAV II.

http://www.tanknutdave.com/component/content/article/104

This source claimed the LAV II and LAV III are separate developments by GDLS Canada and not licensed MOWAG Piranha II and Piranha III derivatives. I'd wait for more confirmation on that information however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.118.182.85 (talk) 09:03, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • GM/GM Defence/GDLS have stated in the past (link no longer available) that all versions after the AVGP were in-house designs. TankNutDave makes it quite clear in this link:

  • Geo Swan TankNutDave is collection of interested observers. Past that, I have only conversed with them via emails. I did work at GDLS (London) when it was still GM Defence in the early 1990s, and with the caveat of this being 'original research' the LAV series were all in-house designs. The CASR archive is available via The Internet Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20161029221817/http://www.casr.ca/index.htm and having just wandered through it I can find no references to the history of the AVGP - LAV - LAV II - LAV III. Seeing as we have a clearly posted web article addressing this, I believe that the refences to MOWAG should be removed from all LAV II and LAV III articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codesmith (talkcontribs) 15:27, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/armoured/mowag/press12.html
    Triggered by \barmy-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:42, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
