Treadhead ping.
Even though there aren’t any treads, I thought there’s enough armor to more than make this of interest.
BTW, the treadhead graphic is MIA. I can host it, if someone has it.

The latest from our friends in high places say there is a funding battle going on for them. DoD wants 17,700 of various versions of MRAP. Need to go cautious on this, as we say: You want it bad, you get it bad. We are starting the first of many stages of experimentation with them this summer. I would assume the results will be out in a year or so, then there can be some serious production take place. I hate to sound like a bean counter, but in the day of budget constraints we can’t afford to throw good money after bad ideas or vice versa.
