I've never been in the military, but from an outsider-looking-in perspective, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to go anywhere near war in this! The article says it's "fast," but when you look at the specs (and see the comparison), you realize it's just a slug compared to the Humvee that's inexcusably slow. At least it's "cheap!"

The Infantry Squad Vehicle is basically a stretched-out, stripped-down all-terrain vehicle with and seating for up to nine soldiers.

155,000 for that thing.
Sigh.
Sigh.
Plus after meeting all the government design/documentation/disclosure/cost accounting requirements, this is potentially a break even price or worse for the supplier.
More sighs

But I’d like a roof and doors option for those urban areas the US may visit. Not saying it will stop bullet or shrapnel but would make more sense..

After reading the article, issuing these to airborne units does make sense and I can see why they would prefer them. In country, airborne typically used 2.5 and 5 ton cargo trucks fitted with bench seats to transport into their patrol area… these trucks are very prone to attack and also have no armor, so there’s not really a trade off. Having a lighter more maneuverable troop carrier for them and not having 2 - squads in 1 vehicle is much better.

Funny and not gay... 2 vans a JDM honda and an AWD Town and Country take on Moab and it's hillarious. You'd be surprised by the results.
Yep, that caravan has made me question so much of my existence...
Not bad.
