This truck appears to have a problem. It reminds me of the Subaru doing stoppies.

I suspect that the troops would be somewhat vulnerable at that point.
I'd love to assume they've fixed that, but given what I know of the military they probably didn't bother to fix it.
"Break" test? Really? From a "professional" website?
holy rear brake bias.
thats not a failed brake test. it did stop, after all.
I was wondering how much more vibration the rear axle would stand up to...and did you see the driveshaft flexing around?
No problem with the brakes, the suspension, on the other hand, could use a little work.

Don't forget the extraneous, erroneous apostrophe in "fail's"...
No, I do not feel bad about being a punctuation pedant when it's somebody's job to write. To write the title line no less...
Back to the actual topic, that was something else. I found the first stop fairly alarming, but it sure took things up a level when the rear axle departed the vehicle...
It looks as if the headline has been cleaned up - but "break test" was appropriate in that case.
Wheel hop will ruin your day.
Well...that's why RDT&E is so important. It's real easy for some wag to post test footage of a spectacular failure and call it something else to get the flame pumps going. That's test footage, plain and simple. Testers break stuff on purpose so they can make it mo bettah
