New Australian Military Truck

[Mike Cecil]

Proposed replacement for the 6x6 LRPV Land Rover. Much more capable, but a long time being developed.

Now I might have this cocked up, but I seem to remember the SASR first got a Supacat 4x4 to replace their Land Rovers, and then found it couldn't handle the weight of all the gear they wanted to carry. This new vehicle is the result of the 'back to the drawing board' after the initial procurement 'problems'.

This vehicle also means they can also dispense with the LRP Unimog 'Mother' used to carry all the supplies for longer periods in the scrub.

They won't want many: the total number of LRPVs was only about 24 (or 26? I forget the exact number.)
