this is what i´ve been talking about . This current crop of MRAP-s , all sort of new vehicle types and classes means that relatively small production runs , and urgent needs brings us a whole bunch of relatively untested vehicles , that need maybe too much support and are little bit too fragile and high-maintenance .


If the WAB´s ´identify the military equipment´-thread is still running in 2027 i guess it is mostly about 2003-2013 era MRAP-s and UAV-s probably
