I'll like to see this one getting heavy dropped lol. We'll see. We finally got DAGOR/RAZOR, so it'll be a welcomed sight for sure.

Will it even have a windshield? Can't tell from the article's photo. Crew protection from small arms right out the door on this one.

Sir, it looks remarkably like the pig we drove all over the place. "We didn't need no stinkin armor" 8-)

LTC Jeff Shearer - My first trip to Iraq was a soft skin vehicle, all our rifles pointed out the windows. Second trip, add on armor to protect from small arms. Third trip, UAHs that went NMC the moment the A/C was inop; couldn't afford troopers suffering a heat injury since we couldn't lower the windows. Now we're back to square one; light, fast, maneuverable, less protection, more firepower, intimidate the enemy at close range at the risk of exposure to long range sharpshooters. We've come full circle in less than 20 years.
