The announcement comes during British Minister for Africa Vicky Ford’s visit to Ghana, Army Technology reports. As part of the UK-Ghana security and defence partnership, a deal will see 70 Husky armoured vehicles arriving in the African country, the Ghana News Agency reported, citing a statement issued by the UK High Commission in Accra.

The International MXT-MV (Military Extreme Truck - Military Version) is an infantry mobility vehicle produced by Navistar Defense, a subsidiary of Navistar International, which is the owner of the International brand of vehicles. Introduced in 2006 and developed in parallel with the civilian International MXT, the MXT-MV is extensively modified for military duty compared to its civilian counterpart. It is transportable by a Lockheed C-130 Hercules military aircraft.

The Husky is a variant of the MXT-MVA modified to satisfy the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence requirements for the Tactical Support Vehicle (TSV) program for the British Army. Husky is a protected support vehicle, providing a highly mobile and flexible load-carrying vehicle. It has been designed for a wide range of missions, including transporting food, water and ammunition, and acting as a command vehicle at headquarters. Armed with a machine gun, Husky joins its sister vehicles Wolfhound and Coyote as part of the tactical support vehicle programme. Some vehicles are fitted out as specialised recovery vehicles or fitted with a heavy machine gun or grenade machine gun.

Husky variants

Variants are available with three different cab configurations: standard, extended cab, and crew cab.

Standard, unarmored version.

MXT-MVA
The MXT-MVA (Military Extreme Truck - Military Version Armored) was designed by Israeli vehicle manufacturer Plasan. It offers the choice of two removable armor kits, dubbed A-Kit and B-Kit, with increasing levels of protection against bullets, mines and improvised explosive devices.

Husky TSV
The Husky is a variant of the MXT-MVA modified to satisfy the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence requirements for the Tactical Support Vehicle (TSV) program for the British Army.
