As to the photo of the airdropped Iltis above, most of you know my opinion of the Iltis, and I believe the second photo is now the perfect Iltis.
Back to the original post on this thread, while I could believe the Liberals would have liked to supply the vehicle shown as a replacement, the conservatives seem to have given the CF some of the best equipment they could acquire suitable to the intended purposes. I don't think we will be going to war with softskinned vehicles again in the foreseeable future.
