Saw this on ABC World news last night, pretty cool. It's a newly designed armored vehicle built to withstand an IED.
They cost $500,000 each, they kind of remind me of the big construction vehicles (tractors, dump trucks, forklifts. etc).
Check out the video section, pretty damned impressive.

I would like to see an addon for ArmA with these vehicles.

If you watch the videos, they say that these vehicles can reach 70MPH. Wow!

Yeah, then it's 70-0 in a couple of miles! ;)

reminds of WWII halftrack vehicles in that it appears that you can adapt them to suit specific jobs like troop transport, mobile AAA, etc.
