Said the PM, bold as brass.
Well we know why these vehicles aren't being considered!

Bearing in mind the biggest problem with the Mastiff is that it's massive and therefore hard to take off-road, I would have thought these would be rather good if what is said about their mobility is true.

The RANGER certainly looked as though it has some significant design features that could save lives.

Hmm. Well, was there another vehicle that was selected instead?

Seems that the MoD dont think its required, because they have bought the Mastiff and Ridgeback.

Bunch of munters, you have a step change design, better protective capabilities and its a UK company.

I hope the Canadians get it at least, some one should benefit from it.
