I mean, I could have told them that.

An old but still relevant discussion on IFV vs MRAPs and their relative utility:

IS AN IFV AN MPV/MRAP OR VISA VERSA?

I have noticed a disturbing trend in today’s counter insurgency (COIN) orientated conflicts – IFV’s are being deployed as MPVs/MRAPs and vis...

Nothing surprising in that article for anyone paying attention to the comments on this forum.

Doesn't mean the Senator is a bad vehicle...just that when you use something to perform tasks it wasn't designed for there will be issues.

Solution? Send more LAVs so the Senators can be used in more appropriate roles.

How is that a shock to anyone? It’s a Ford 550 with a bunch of armor, it’s meant for roads - despite what many try to claim.

I’d rather GDLSC look into building M1A3, and their XM-30 OMFV contender in London.

Retain a Bde worth of LAV, send the rest to Ukraine along with the Leo2’s.

When's the last time anyone here in NA took a Ford F550 off-roading? Roads in Ukraine/Russia are barely passable tracks a number of months of the year, especially in the rural areas.

Roshel has since modified the design since the first batch has been sent over. Plus they have a new design that reduces significantly the amount of civilian truck components. At the end of the day, if you want quantity, you need to accept some compromises.
