LOL these arnt true hmmwv replacements.

These are just wheeled APCs.

The entire US military is slowly going armoured, any more and they'll find its too heavy and too difficult to move reliably.

Half of the supposed HMMWV replacements are so big and heavy they may as well replace the Humvee with Strykers.

Looks like a humvee on steroids

[nickflame9]

@wolfyys same with the destroyers and other ships, they are just to big and heavy and are being easily destroyed by smaller ones and armies

I like humvees.. not in theater. getting shot up and blown up is not a fun time. so M-ATV's and such like it are very nice.

[DontFUckWitUSA]

Problem solved, just use one of the many MRAP platforms to better suit there needs.

[flammabletube]

Still dont know why they will not try out the Australian built Bushmaster not 1 Australian soldier has been killed in a Bushmaster in an IED event

[gabriel55555555]

just go for the KMW Fennek or KMW Dingo,

best option so far

[97devilpup]

so you guys know they did a couple updates including taking the open turrent off and putting a remote control turrent inside... the gunner is located in the back so hes playing a video game kinda

[Phantasmos]

jajajaja, lets just recall all the M113's and retrofit them with new tech - bet ya they can take on this machine and the stryker on a road test....

[popmihai2000]

thats a huge target, especialy in narrow streets

@Sparty1234561

Combat is about risks. I could argue that you wouldnt get a grenade dropped in the top if you never went to war but sacrifices have to be made.

@O7ROADKING I disagree, the are moving to these because of the huge number of IED's in Iraq. If you were going into an IED infested area wouldn't you want an armored vehicle over an open jeep? Awareness wont help you when the IED is buried under the road.
