Why Pakistan keeps running to USA for MRAP when we can get these with TOT
Coughar 4 X 4 and 6 X 6 from South Africa
Kirpi MRAP
Ejder 4 X4
Paramount Matador
ParaMount Marauder
NIMR 4 X 4
NIMR 6 X 6
What is HIT good for if they can't produce 3 of these or more. We need them. We have lost hundreds of soldiers due to IED and lot more who have lost limbs. Taking care of there families after they are no more and taking care of injured costs lot more than this one time investment. 160 Maxxpro are not enough not even close to be enough. Just look at Egypt they are close to having 1000 MRAP and looking for more
the US MRAPs tried and tested in our battlefield conditions. that could be one reason. HIT is also producing locally under license - Dragoon.

US manufacturer Navistar Defense has been granted a USD35 million contract to produce 40 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) MaxxPro Dash DXM vehicles for Pakistan, the US Department of Defense (DoD) said in a 16 February statement.
Awarded under a US Foreign Military Sales contract, the deal also includes various support items, contractor logistics, and technical support services.
Work will be performed in West Point, Mississippi, and Pakistan, with an estimated completion date of 31 October 2018, according to the DoD.
Contract bids were solicited via the internet with one received.
