“Reaching this point has taken incredibly hard work from a large number of people, and I would like to say thank you to them. We should all take pride in helping enhance a critical UK capability.”

The new vehicles under the GASKET 3 fleet programme are part of a £60m project that includes a wide range of vehicles, from first response fleets to 4×4 medium scale vehicles.

After holding consultations with the soldiers concerned, the MoD has announced the new GASKET 3 bomb disposal vehicle’s initial operating capability.

The GASKET 3 will be used by the 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Search Regiment and the Diving Threat Exploitation Group of the Royal Navy.

621 Squadron, Royal Logistics Corps corporal Briscoe said: “The new GASKET vehicle is great, a massive improvement on our current vehicle.

“We did notice our Vehicle-Borne IED disruptor could be in a better place for quick access and our suggestions were included in the final design.”
