Jackal 2A

The Jackal 2 is a high-mobility protected patrol vehicle designed for reconnaissance, fire support, and convoy protection. It can carry a crew of two and up to four passengers, providing protected transport for small teams in challenging environments.

Developed by Supacat to meet an Urgent Operational Requirement during the campaign in Afghanistan, the Jackal 2 series was designed to replace vulnerable Land Rover WMIK platforms with a vehicle offering superior off-road mobility and integrated crew protection. The upgraded Jackal 2A variant entered service with the British Army in 2010, featuring a reinforced chassis and enhanced blast protection over the baseline model. It saw extensive combat deployment during Operation Herrick in Afghanistan, where its high speed and heavy armament options proved invaluable for deep reconnaissance and counter-insurgency operations. Today, the Jackal 2A remains a cornerstone of the British Army's light cavalry and specialized reconnaissance units, praised for its adaptability and rugged performance in diverse global environments.
