Note: The majority of defense writers are beasts when it comes to aviation news but miss the lead when it comes to contacts in the Program Office or Industry execs giving info. This applies times 1000 to armor news. The idea that Streit Group is getting into wheeled APCs ... real wheeled APCs and not glorified MRAPs is huge! How can this not be getting more air time? Additionally does anyone know the name and stats on the vehicle?

a small armored car manufacturer .... too lazy to look it up but i believe it is based in the Middle East...maybe UAE? anyway they're making a splash by selling MRAPs but it looks like they're getting into the apc market. why is that big? because the western defense firms have looked to the middle east for revenue now that defense budgets are down. that market might not be as big as some thought which means more downsizing...which means more economic hits...which means trouble in the west financially.
DeleteClose enough Sol, they are based in Canada :D
