The purchase of new JLTV army SUVs is hampered by the desire of the US army to maintain an existing fleet of Humvee vehicles. Yesterday, July 9, the portal thedrive.com he reported that the US Army has submitted a request for the redistribution of funds allocated for the purchase of new cars.

The request for the next fiscal year indicates that the army is asking for $66 million to be allocated for the purchase of new and modernization of existing HMMWVs (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheel Vehicle), better known as Humvees. This is $36 million more than was originally pledged. At the same time, $23 million of this amount is planned to be "taken away" from the JLTV machine purchase program.

The Humvee first entered service in 1983 and became popular all over the world due to the ease of modernization and a large number of modifications. So, out of 19 main versions, 4 modifications of the machine remain in production. The Army has requested $884.4 million for the JLTV program in fiscal year 2021 and $574.5 million in 2022 with plans to acquire about 49,000 JLTVs by 2041.
