YIKES!! At 43 Tons it might as well be an MBT.

Yeah, but it will be state-of-the-art and well protected.

And unable to be airlifted, which was one of the key requirements for
the Stryker: so the Puma is irrelevant since it can't be lifted in a
C-130.

because they sought a lighter, more mobile vehicle that could be put
