Some already in theatre, excellent bits of kit, as you rightly say much improvement over WMIK (which I assume you meant, SNATCH was designed for NI and was only ever used in the Middle East due to lack of wagons - this is primarily a WMIK replacement as far as I'm aware).

The thing is it looks like these were designed with special forces in mind, but can't help but wonder how they would fair against IED. If they flip over there are some people in these that would not stand a chance. Now I can see the Army using these vehicles for escort work along the highways, some thing a warrior should be doing.
