    Very HOOAH!

    And the Generals “just don’t know if they can use these vehicles”. It “just doesn’t fit into the doctrine”, ie, they haven’t made enough under the table through long trials and re-designs.

    I hope Top Ward is wrong, but, you are dealing with humans so too often you have to follow the money,

    Shit. It even looks repairable!

    here’s a complete photo set of that instance http://www.garywise.com/index.php/Images/Interesting-Images/MRAP-Vehicle-Survives-500lb-IED.htm - that was a 500lb charge. They must fit someone’s doctrine as they keep ordering these trucks and i get to keep making parts for em. I know in the long run they are too heavy for the Marine Corps role and they have cut their orders by a third. But the Army keeps ordering them…

    Stout piece, looks like the door frames did note even get tweaked

    I am all for really cool pics of things like this, but isn’t this a little bit of an OpSec issue. This is kinda like giving the bad guys a nice set of full color BDA pics.

    Not suggesting that they don’t already know the good guys walked away, but still…you get my point.

    Looks like just the kind of truck I need for rush hour !!!

    hmmm … Too bad Bhutto didn’t have one.

    The MRAP design has been around for a long time. The South Africans were using them against the ANA. That’s where the idea comes from. MRAPs are in just about every government defense pub. The info is public knowledge.

    And this one ain’t shit. Way till you see MRAP II.
