Also shows the value of actual military vehicles over shitty technicals.
But HMMWVs vulnerability to mines and IEDs is what triggered the development of the original US MRAP family, so everyone surviving is probably more of a case speaking against the type of mine they hit rather than for the vehicle’s mine resistence.
Aw crap. Glad they survived. Also shows the value of actual military vehicles over shitty technicals.
Not sure they would have fared as well in an unarmoured Hilux, Navara or Triton.
Something that surprised me is that there isn’t a better way to collect used cartridges from the machine gun at the top.
