I found the following specifications for MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protection Vehicles) by random Internet searching. All are in ft. inches and pounds. So, please use your calculator to convert them to meter, cm, and kgs. I am surprised at the weight of these vehicles probably all-around steel-made.

Width. 102'

• Height. 120"
• Wheel Base. 153"
• Curb Weight. 37,850 lb.
• Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. 43,500 lbs.
• Payload. 3,650 lbs.
• Fording Depth. 36" w/out prep.

They are all steel. Why get the US rubbish? I still dont fathom.

Just go directly to the source - OTT Tech/Paramount. Afterall, Maxproo are based on our vehicles and designed by our own engineers who were seconded over to US in 2005.

So, ask your govt to contact Dhaka if SA wants to sell the item. The USA is giving us this item probably from its Excess Luggage. I am not sure about the prices but I can guess our govt will have to pay the shipment expenses and repairing as well but no prices for this excess luggage.

There are other benefits that come for BD getting the EDA - they have been fully indoctrinated into the Quad game recently and will go down that route.

Only 50 units of MRAP vehicles and BD is with QUAD? It is not even a distant possibility.
