Iltis EIS for equipment: ID of items

[Robert Bergeron]

The Iltis is a nice collectible if you like trouble , no parts availability and plastic parts that disintegrate in the sun . And then you would of thought that they got their experience with the Iltis debacle . The powers that be then bought an even worse nightmare : The G Wagon. Top heavy, we lost good men to rollovers . All the while , our neighbours down South had a hard time giving away Hummvees that worked , have spare parts for them , have enough power and come with up armour kits . Oh , i forgot . They even have IED simulators for them . Like a helicopter dunker . You sit in it , you buckle up and then you blow. You have to learn to get out and set up perimeter defence and tend the wounded . Now that’s a real combat set up for the real world. I had never seen so realistic training . In a Iltis you can die hitting a deer crossing in front of you Christ ! Go figure . Iltis = Ross rifle . Canadians setting up Canadian soldiers for failure . We should erase the memory . Nice collectible though . Had 3 at one point . Why , i can’t explain ?
