          As I understand it the unit cost on the British FCLVs is going to be somewhere in excess of £1m.

          That could be due to do dodgy defence offsets and additional fit outs though.

              light, medium or heavy?

              Further to the suggestion that vehicles under consideration should be separated into different categories, because there is such a variety on the market, the Bundeswehr were looking for wheeled armoured vehicles in three weight categories: (i) maximum 5 tonnes; (ii) 5 - 10 tonnes; and (iii) 10 - 13 tonnes. Would it be helpful to group LTAV candidates as either 'light', 'medium', or 'heavy', using these limits?

                I was waiting for someone to say that... Look back through this thread and its predecessor and you'll see vehicles that range from 3.5t to >20t. The USMC and the Australians call their versions of the Piranha LAVs. Unfortunately, these terms are not well-defined...

                      The US army had role down windows in Somalia and it was said that it made the vehicle more vulnerable to small arms fire beacause of the gap in the door for the window to go into.

                          I always thought it was light

                          as in Ligth tactical armoured vehicle

                          But I could be very wrong

                          Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                          The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
                          The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

                            i think it was a rhetorical question.
