Can this version swim? There's a whole lot of water in NZ.

Nope. The LAVIII has the ability to ford rivers up to 1.5 metres deep. How is it crossing boiling mud?

,,, Waiouru training ground is below Lake Taupo, near the centre of New Zealand's North Island (around the area labelled "Mt Ruapehu").

Who exactly are they going to use this against? The Hobbits?

They're going to war with Australia.
And we're going to kick their Kiwi arses right back across the Tasman, so they better hope those LAVs at least float... :-)

And where do the air force do their training? Oh, that's right, effectively you don't HAVE one anymore... ;-P

Major Mike Duncan of the TTT said, "I am very pleased with the way in that all the
soldiers assimilated all the training and I'm very happy with the high standard
of the crews."
With all due respect Major Duncan, we have an even more excellent course of
"on the job training" available.
The Coalition of The Willing is still open for applicants!

so they better hope those LAVs at least float,,, with the rapidly rising $NZ and the way QANTAS is pricing tickets to Australia to make sure Kiwis go there, floating is a romantic notion left to people like you to suggest on threads like these. [LOL]
Speaking of floating, are there any Afghan detainees left on Christmas Island or are they all employed as home help in Double Bay now? I know your employment figures are really looking great... just asking... hehehe
To: shaggy eel
You can laugh. But we've got the planes.
And our dollar's still worth more than yours.
And the only reason New Zealand doesn't get an influx of so-called refugees is because it's too damn far from anywhere, and you know it.
I don't know... ARE the Afghans working in Double Bay? You're the one who's just been to Sydney, mate, not me.

Ralphie you be careful out there, don't shoot your eye out.

,,, Willie, I hope you're not put out because these vehicles are Canadian.
