DPV type History
1985-2014
In the mid-eighties the Land Rover 110 HCPU became the SAS's new Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) to replace the Series 2a Pink Panthers. The DPV had coiled-spring suspension, providing for a much more comfortable ride than then the Pinkies. DPVs had a wheelbase of 110 inches and were powered by A 3.5 ltr V8 diesel.
SAS DPVs had mounts for an array of weapons and were configured in a number of ways:
1 x Commander's GPMG
1 x Rear GPMG
1 x Commander's GPMG
2 x Rear GPMG
1 x Commander's GPMG
1 x .50 cal HMG
1 x Commander's GPMG
1 x Mk19 40mm grenade launcher
1 x Commander's GPMG
Milan wire-guided missile launcher mounted on the DPV roll bars
The above is by no means an extensive list. The weapons mounted to SAS DPVs depended on the mission requirements and was limited by availability and the imagination of the wagon's crew. For instance, a DPV's driver might decide to mount a Minimi machine gun on his dashboard or the Milan wagon might have a GPMG fitted to cover the rear. Guns were attached to Vinghog softmounts.
It's been reported that the SAS experimented with other weapons systems for the DPV. These include a GIAT 20mm cannon, which proved unreliable, and a 7.62mm gatling gun which was highly effective but got through ammunition too quickly.
Aside from the various mounted weapons and the trooper's personal weapons, DPVs also carried :
84mm LAW anti-tank rockets
M72 66mm rockets
FIM-92 Stinger SAMs
81mm mortars
bar mines - large slabs of exposives capable of flipping a tank - used to secure routes in to laying up areas
DPVs usually had their headlights and brake lights removed or disconnected to avoid accidental illumination at night. Smoke canister launchers were fitted to the front and rear of the wagons which could be fired to obscure the vehicle in event of a contact. Later modifications to the DPV platform included a full-length roll cage with a ring mount, similar to that found on WMIK Land Rovers.
A single DPV fits inside a Chinook helicopter and up to 4 can be transported inside a C-130 Hercules transport plane.
During their 20 years of service in 22 SAS, the DPV saw action in several conflicts:
SAS DPVs were deployed to Saudi Arabia and driven north into the Iraqi Desert during Desert Storm by A and D Squadron. Whilst still affectionately called 'Pinkies' by the SAS, DPVs sported a more traditional beige camouflage scheme. During Desert Storm, some of the shorter wheelbased (92.9 inch) Land Rover 90s ('dinkies') in the SAS inventory were converted to 'gunships', with the addition of machine guns. These were put together for proposed B Squadron operations and were also used to protect a resupply convoy that the SAS drove into Iraq towards the end of operations.
