Apparently, it's really good, and it obviously worked this time. I don't understand why we didn't buy more of these vs the G-Wagens. The latter are obviously a hell of a lot better than the Iltis, but given our current and probable future missions, the Nyala seems an obvious preference.

Good ol' GD
I believe that the friendly folks at GD are peddling these vehicles.
They wrote the book on wheeled armour in London, so I suspect that it will all be fine.  Stewart More info at: http://www.defense-update.com/products/r/RG-31.htm Pix at: http://www.afvnews.ca/cgi-bin/web-bb...mes/read/72601

South Africa
Has some really neat home grown pieces of armour and kit developed from decades of constant squirmishes and minor wars. I think the Rooricat wheeled tank would be a far superior vehicle to the Bison gun system for direct fast armoured support for our troops. It can operate with a couple of wheels blown off it , from mines, also.
