they don't need to be armored since they are for border guards
army uses upgraded BRDM as recon vehicles
No i am talking about our army...
I don't say this must be like that... I just tell my opinions...
Let me open it a lil bit...
I think our army should have multi purpose vehicles etc as much as they can...
IMO if you build a platform you should load things on it as much as you can... Not everything for sure... You should load it because you are already building that vehicle so you should utilize from that platform as much as you can... I am talking about platforms should be hybrid as much as possible... For me building vehicles for x weapon and building other vehicles for y weapon is not right... Again i repeat, i am talking about putting everything you find on a vehicle... By this way with less vehicle, also that means with less money you can achieve so much power...
For example i loved this thing so much... It is loaded like crazy...
Now think that we lost so many light armoured 4x4 Cobras in a war... In this condition they have no reserve but if we are building platforms like these Land Rovers with lightly armoured and lightly weaponized we can send them in the role of these 4x4 Cobras as a backup... We can't send current Land Rovers as a backup for Cobras... That's why i say if you are building a platform do it in the best way as much as you can... You have a platform already so use it to the bottom...
I am also thinking about weaponizing civil cars in a war time quickly with portable weapons... Also that portable weapon's training must be done while we are serving in the army...
Platforms are so valuable things so we should evaluate them... In a war time we will not be able to produce platforms, new Cobras so we should build hybrid vehicles who have multi purpose capabilities...
So that's why i want these Land Rovers to be light armoured and light weaponized... Currently however we pay for these Land Rovers and however they are military vehicles and however we 'have' a platform like them their capability is bringing 3-5 people from some place to another place... So let's build it like with capabilities of Cobra and provide it's self defence & attack in a level and when it's needed send them with the purpose of Cobras...
This is my opinion for sure... I tried to explain it with reasons...
