Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… the Urban Combat Patrol Tricycle!

uh huh. likely released now to time in with latest “were going broke!” Pentagon complaints; as being exemplary of pending drastic cost reductions.
on the other hand…..might be something in it!
Canadian ingenuity! Okay, so the armour coverage isn’t much better than a g-wagen, but one pallet of innertubes will cover all your resupply needs for the next thousand years.
Joke #1: It’s the new strategy we’re going to try after some 3-star heard someone talk about how “I nearly died laughing” and figured it might work on Iraqi insurgents and al-Qaeda.
Joke #2: GM is letting the Army have these for the low, low price of only $2.3 million per unit. They’ll make their money back on the service contracts.
Joke #3: The Marine Corps is getting a unicycle towing a guy with a Nerf gun on roller skates.
Is that CADPAT (or whatever it’s called), or Dutch flecktarn?
shoulder flash on the driver looks cdn. hair is too short to be dutch ;-)
I said PEDAL FASTER!!!!
My bad, I meant to say Danish. Either way, the hair *is* a little short Europeans.
It’s CADPAT, those are ILTIS trailers, Maple Leaf Lapels, also, was sent the picture in an email from home, aka Canada… LOL
Mr. Liu, your third joke nearly killed me laughing. Bravo.
Holy Banas! This deadly combination will surely win the situation in Iraque and other “difficult” areas for us.
One thing I want to remind you of is the extreme effectivness when retreating – Backfiring supports both personnel on board!
Thanks 4 making my Day! :-D
Definitely Canadian. Also received this pic by e-mail with following message:
Unauthorized snap of new Canadian Forces Recce vehicle.
Cost effective, low profile, quiet, low heat signature, crewed by only two soldiers, plenty of storage area and requires very little maintenance. However, prone to rollovers, light armour, slow mover, comms are terrible and limite fire support.
Canadian humour, EH!!!
