If any moderators think this belongs in the equipment forum, I appologize and please move accordingly.
With all the debate now raging in the news concerning the vehicles used for patrols, I was wondering what the troops thought.
F'rinstance, my first impression of the Iltis in '85 was, â Å“What a piece of crap.â ? Keep in mind I was sitting in a Korean era Jeep and had just driven it flying off a sand dune in Ipperwash to land in front of the Iltis, which wouldn't start. (It was raining, a bit.)
Has anybody seen the Iltis' replacement yet, the Gelaendewagens, and if so what was your first impression?
Additional point: on ex. Medecine Man at BATUS, we were swapping lies with some Royal Anglians who had seen quite a lot of service in Northern Ireland and they just couldn't stop singing the praises of the Ferret Scout Car for patrolling in BUA's. Their only complaint was that it was a little difficult to get into and out of, but a new design concept could fix that, no?
