Bahrain Operating M-ATVs

The Bahrain Defence Force appears to have acquired M-ATV light armored vehicles, produced by U.S.-based Oshkosh Defense.  A number of vehicles could be seen in a convoy in a recent promotional video released by the military (at 19:16 in the footage).

As identified by IHS Jane’s, some of the vehicles in the convoy were seen sporting a FeWaS/Samson remote combat weapon station.  Others could be seen with manned weapons stations.
