paul_bish Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thats is a lot of kit. The US needing 20,000 container loads and a$3billion cost. This was interesting too... I would buy a few at this price! Among them are about 1,600-1,700 US Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles or MRAPs - the $1m (£604,000), 20-tonne vehicle designed to protect soldiers in Afghanistan from improvised explosive devices, or roadside bombs, that have proved so lethal. About 9,000 MRAPs will be shipped back from Afghanistan, but the rest will go up for auction at around $2,000- $5,000 each (£1,200-£3,000).
