Hosted by the British Ambassador, Matt Field, and Defence Attaché, Col Jonny Kitson, Supacat and Czech partners LPP signed a contract to deliver 18 HMT EXTENDA vehicles, known as JACKAL 3 EXTENDA in UK service, for 601st Special Forces Group.
The HMT (High Mobility Transporter) EXTENDA is 6×6 variant of the 4×4 HMT JACKAL, which can be converted from 2-axle to 3-axle configuration to suit mission requirements by vehicle mechanics using just basic workshop tools. In service with at least eight other nations, from Norway to New Zealand and from Ukraine to the USA, the combat-proven Supacat HMT is a firm favourite with Special Forces and Special Operations Forces.
It is believed that in Czech service the EXTENDA will replace the Land Rover Defender KAJMAN Rapid Deployment Vehicle which has now exceeded its 15-year design life.
