Wicked stuff Richard, Dosen't look like it offers much protection, even less than the British Land Rover

Interesting...follows the great tradition of the LRDG, not to mention the SAS. Squint and there are even overtones of the Italian AS 42 Sahariana!

Apart from the updated equipment, there's nothing much new under the (desert) sun.

Thanks Richard.

How much protection does SAS LAndrover or SOV need? These are not fighting vehicles and if a patrol was to get into a serious two-way stoush, something would have gone wrong - better to rely on stealth and mobility than the penalties of armour...
