    Honestly doesn’t look all that bad for a fucking anti tank mine.

    This incident marks the first documented instance where a commercial-based armored vehicle has successfully withstood such an attack, highlighting its robust protective capabilities

    For those that don’t know it’s built on a Ford 550 frame.

      Aye.

      Cars can be replaced. Lives can’t. I guess it also boosts morale seeing equipment that actually works.

      Quite impressive for sure! I’m curious to know what’s going on in the under body of that thing.

        V shaped armour to deflect blast. It’s in the article.

            I was going to look for a video on the MRAP specifically.

    It would be awesome if US police departments donated all their heavy tactical vehicles to your cause.

      And risk life and limb? Acorn season is coming up and without heavy military equipment for neighborhood patrols it will be a bloodbath /j

        Don’t forget about school shootings - all those rural Texas LARPers need their tacti-cool trucks to sit on while elementary school kids are murdered too!

        Don’t forget some duct tape to re-attach that gas tank cap

        Could probably use a paint job to tie it all up and make it pretty

          I love the optimism, but even with full coverage, that looks like a good parts truck to me.

      More than 1000 have been supplied to Ukraine, they can soak some vehicle losses. That’s what they’re built for.

        Yep. To expand they’re built to save fighters’ lives. If you had to put a value on it, one veteran Ukrainian is worth far more than this MRAP. And this one saved several.

          And not only that: The it says they survived without injuries (though I’m guessing they were at least a little shook up). Give those guys the next vehicle on the line, and I bet they’re more than happy to go find the Russians that placed those mines and give them their regards.

          The morale boost from having this kind of equipment probably cannot be underestimated

    With a name like Senator, you know it needs to be bomb proof…
