New Armoured Vehicle in Pickering
For those of you not from the area you may be wondering about the title.
Anyone else knows that the area has for many years been the home of a nuclear power generating operation run by Ontario Power Generation, an incarnation of the former Hydro One. We were around town on Saturday and this was in a gas station. The operator was less than thrilled at having pictures taken but after many years of being around law enforcement, the result is our veterans fought for our freedom to be free, so that is why I have the pictures. The vehicle is an Oshkosh Defense product called the Sandcat Tactical Protection Vehicle and allegedly can do 120 km/hr but likely with awful fuel mileage. It is based on a Ford 5500 platform and has been around in production for a few years and has a number of users both military and civil. OPG has it's own security now having taken over from Durham a while back. This is all public domain info. Likely as not we will never own this Regards Robin |
