Ron Mark is well pleased to announce the purchase of 43 BUSHMASTER PMVs from Australia.
I don't know which variant we are getting or if they will be fitted with the run flat tyres or potable cold water storage for the crews.
These vehicles have a tough V shaped bottom & can cruise at 100 kph on their 7.2 litre diesel engine - and are bigger, tougher and all round stronger than 'LAVs'. - Range around 800 km.

He reckons they will cost over 100 Million Dollars so double that & wait and see - but good gear for our fighting teams is worth paying Thales Australia for ..
This Is A Dutch One
.. Even The Poms Have Bought Some:
They should be good.
