I think there are armoured cabs available for the new MAN trucks (inc wrecker) that we now have in service. The Canadians seem to have gone for Mercs in their fleet. Quote
Rick W Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Canadians seem to like them alot. They liked the Iltis, didnt do them much good in A'stan, maybe thats why theyve gone for very large and armoured. Quote
