Are they bulletproof and can they withstand an IED? Remember the crap the USA military gave USA troops in Iraq? The head of the Humvee military project and the Generals who bought them should have been locked in one and sent out into the field (for testing purposes).

The reports from Ukraine on them are encouraging

Global News has reviewed videos from two separate incidents in which missiles landed approximately one metre from a Senator.

The tires were a little worse for wear. But ballistic glass and steel withstood the power of the blast in both attacks. No Ukrainians were hurt.

Orest, a sergeant with the Kraken, tells of how he recently came under Russian fire inside the vehicle. “A projectile exploded next to us.” The enforced windshield sustained damage, but all personnel inside the vehicle were unharmed. “The vehicle completely worked as it was designed,” Orest says.

yeah you’re definitely ex-military lmao

can’t say anything from my own lack of experience but by just looking at the budget for the “new camo program” and then looking at the camo pattern produced, it’s not a bad assessment to say that the P in UCP stands for “piece of shit”
