Fallout Re: MRAPs

Taking a break from the list after a long break from it as well. Just think Bananarama "It's a cruel, cruel summer." Anyway if you get BBC America TOP GEAR starts back up again Mon. night and I understand they will put Paramount's MATADOR through it's paces. See page 8 Post #75. Azerbaijan is the only country user also they're a licenced manufacturer.

1. DENAL is ready for full production of the CASSPIR MK6 their answer to the GILA (Also in Post #75.). Look to the SAF as being it's first user given their long history with the CASSPIR. The CASSPIR can trace it's lineage back to the early 70's with the SAF HIPPO, probably the first vehicle to embrace the concept of the MRAP.
