Originally posted by The real Jack View PostIt is abundantly clear that these are not LTAV replacements. They are a like for like replacement/increase in numbers of vehicles already in service overseas."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

I know the opsec dispute on this is done, but have to say that while I'm sure the specifications of any military vehicle acquired by the defence forces will be retrievable by any who are motivated to do so, the habit of being close-mouthed about such things is a good one. The moment you become relaxed about any such information, you lose the sense of information being valuable. It's not necessarily about the specific information so much as the habit of security. Besides, if someone wants such information, let them work for it elsewhere rather than consider IMO as a first port of call.
