"The Oshkosh DefenseŽ MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) Family of Vehicles features an array of vehicle configurations for a wide range of mission requirements, force structures and threats.

Really a pretty good idea and if MRAPs were deployed sooner it would have save some lives.

There were earlier MRAP type vehicles which eventually saw combat in GWoT …

And the South Africans had developed a lot of those techniques during the Bush War, first with the Buffel APC and later with the Casspir.

The problem is how heavy the early MRAPs are. some are 30 tons! The M-ATVs are better, they're "only" 30,000lbs.

The new JLTVs are 15,000lbs.

Yes both the South Africans and IDF developed MRAP type vehicles years before the US did.

I saw a pic and write up of the JLTV … still a much better improvement over an Armored HMMWV.
