sorry.Hamza 8 x 8 is all purpose vehicle (mainly MRAPs) and have (at least claim is) "V" shape hull and very good IEDs protection level. If this thing is based on same (or may be even better) then this will also have some good features , catch in this is the name they are calling it APC not what they called 8 X 8 , I am still hopeful.
Hamza 8 X 8 and Max pro are good combination for A+ areas . One Full MRAP and other All purpose vehicle with MRAP qualities and 25mm Gun on top.
And I agree with you if Hamza is not what we need for A+ or A category then we must have to move on ASAP , South Africa and Turkey have some good options. Main point is we need MRAPS and Some good vehicles. We lost way to many friends and family because of IEDs.
Any one have any idea about Maxxpro ? What happen to them are we buying any more?
I need to see this vehicle withstanding an IED and I will believe that it can! this is a troop carrier not an MRAP! MRAP is versatile vehicle that overcome various harsh terrain. This cannot handle steep gradients.
Have a look at this to understand what I mean this is a high standard an MRAP must adhere to.

nice demo in Thailand
Just check this out IED hit this MRAP and the crew escaped from the hatch above it. The MRAP may not be usable but the crew compartment is intact and the crew made it out.
