BPCs Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 Un fil dédié aux Technicals, ces pick-up constituant l'ossature de toutes les techno-guerillas du monde moderne. Le nom provient apparemment du terme "technical support" adopté pour justifier la ligne de budget servant à payer des protections armées pour une mission d'une ONG qui ne pouvait justement pas en avoir. Majoritairement sur base de toyota, ils ont pu donner lieu à une guerre des Toyota. On se rend compte qu'avec le temps, ils peuvent emporter des armements parfois sophistiqués. Donc ce fil pour en suivre l'évolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciders Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 Personnellement, je définissais comme technical tout véhicule 4x4 civil de type pick-up ayant reçu un armement de façon plus ou moins rationalisée sur le terrain. Maintenant que la chose devient plus organisée, avec des entreprises qui conçoivent des véhicules prévus dès le départ pour cette tâche et avec un armement de plus en plus diversifié, ça devient plus compliqué.

g4lly Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Il y a 9 heures, MrSpirou a dit : Quelle est l'étendue de la définition du technical ? Le V3P est-il un technical ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_(vehicle) technical, known as a non-standard tactical vehicle (NSTV) in United States military parlance, is a light improvised fighting vehicle, typically an open-backed civilian pickup truck or four-wheel drive vehicle modified to mount SALWs and heavy weaponry, such as a machine gun, automatic grenade launcher, anti-aircraft autocannon, rotary cannon, anti-tank weapon, anti-tank gun, ATGM, mortar, multiple rocket launcher, recoilless rifle, or other support weapon (somewhat like a light military gun truck or potentially even a self-propelled gun), etc. Etymology The neologism technical describing such a vehicle is believed to have originated in Somalia during the Somali Civil War in the early 1990s.[1][2] Barred from bringing in private security, non-governmental organizations hired local gunmen to protect their personnel, using money defined as "technical assistance grants". Eventually the term broadened to include any vehicle carrying armed men.[3] However, an alternative account is given by Michael Maren, who says the term was first used in Somalia in the 1980s, after engineers from Soviet arms manufacturer Tekniko mounted weapons on vehicles for the Somali National Movement during the Somaliland War of Independence.[1] Technicals have also been referred to as battlewagons and gunwagons.[4] In Russia and Ukraine, technicals are often referred to as tachanka, a reference to horse-drawn machine gun platforms from the First World War and Russian Civil War. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
