Looking at the modern-day problems related to insurgency are IEDs, landmines, RPG attacks, and ambushes these sweeping kinetic issues can no longer be handled by pick-up vehicles or Hiluxes with simple gun mounts. To combat the former said shortcomings every tom dick and Harry at least with functional brain cells have unfurled Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) for short, vehicles into the battlefield.
UAE for instance
The HAFEET MK2 6x6 platform offers a range of configurations that feature a monocoque, engine protection to provide STANAG 4569 AEP-55 standard blast protection for 2 crew and 10 passengers.
Delivering impressive performance and mobility for a vehicle of its class, including speeds up to 110 km/h, the HAFEET MK2 6x6 features a modular construction allowing extraction of the complete power pack, including cooling, engine, transmission and transfer case, rapidly.
Now something like the Hafeet MK2 is cheap, reliable and easy to mass-produce just like a Hilux or any other pickup vehicle whilst providing better protection, survivability and longevity not just for the operators but the whole mission.
There is also a 4x4 Ajban variant with a large separate armoured storage compartment at the rear for ammo, food, medical supplies. You name it the compartment can hold it.
Solutions like these should be looked at by PA for Hotzone operations I know the thread is about APCs but seeing Hiluxes being blown to smithereens then getting a random "oh we are testing an APC only after we lost 1000 men" response, is appalling. forget the APCs buy a damn MRAP first morons.
