Oshkosh Striker Airfield Rescue & Recovery Vehicle (ARRF), RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire 2 September 2023

            “Weighing in at an impressive 42000kg, or the equivalent weight of 7 Bull elephants (or 4 Tyrannosaurus Rex’s!) is the Oshkosh Striker airfield rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicle. The Oshkosh striker is set to replace the Major Foam Vehicle (MFV). One of the most impressive new features, is the extendable water/foam/dry powder delivery system called a High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET). Additionally, the turret has an aircraft skin-penetrating nozzle (ASPN), this allows our Firefighters to introduce a sprinkler system into the aircraft prior to breathing apparatus teams entering the aircraft to carry out rescue operations. These innovative approaches to firefighting will increase effectiveness, intervention and ultimately create survivable conditions sooner, reducing risk to personnel.” (From the RAF Website).
