Default Re: Iraq errors report

The vehicle supplied to Iraq is this:



The source for its supply to Iraq is this (though they are mentioned elsewhere) at page four, with a picture included:

Delivery date is listed as March 2008

These vehicles, as noted previously, are recovery/maintenance assets. They have a dozer blade which might be used for obstacle removal, light earth moving etc. but it is primarily meant to assist recovery operations if I understand correctly. They are not dedicated obstacle removal vehicles as the IMR are.
