“Doesn’t look like a functional military vehicle”

Agreed. Once you start jamming all the electronic gear, weapons systems, etc. that sleek little thing will be a pig.

Nope.
As one poster noted, “Megaforce”.

The military moves troops and supplies and THAT vehicle does neither. Meanwhile, the logistician in me drove past a convoy of FMTVs this weekend, smiling at a vehicle that was first proposed over 20 years ago and is only now filling out reserve and National Guard motor pools.

I agree. It looks like some prop in a futuristic movie. The engine is exposed to the elements. I don't see snorkels for operating in rivers and wetlands. It doesn't look bullet resistant, let alone IED resistant.

My thought, too. Looks like a silly 20-something concept vehicle designed by people who have never been in combat or experience an IED explosion.
