maybe using it hard cause its new ?

Driving it like it was a vaguely similar but much lighter vehicle, e.g. BTRs or the like?

Who is the manufacturer of the tires? Who else besides us uses those same tires?

I believe they are Michelin XML 325x85r16s

I believe Michelin has supplied all the tires for all the LAVs (IIs, IIIs and 6s) and the TAPVs.

Wonder if any other countries armoured vehicles use them

I just saw this article where the UK's CDS was saying that the budget didn't cover everything that the government wanted to do.

Given the AJAX cock-up and Ukraine's decision that a domestically built armoured 4x4 meets most of their requirements, along with comments that expensive kit is destroyed as easily as cheap kit then, perhaps we should be looking less at the Medium solution and more at a LIght - Heavy dichotomy.

Lots of light vehicles for national defence and the rear and a well-defined number of heavy assault vehicles.

GM ISV/LUV
Roshel Senator
GDLSC/BAE BvS10 Beowulf

Then something in the 40 to 60 tonne range for the Cavalry and the Armoured.

And lots of standoff weaponry and active defence measures (C-UAS and Air Defence).

Discount on Western Canada Select narrows | BOE Report

The discount on Western Canada Select crude oil to North American benchmark West Texas Intermediate futures narrowed on Thursday. WCS for February delivery in Hardisty, Alberta, settled at $14.10 a barrel below the U.S. benchmark WTI, according to brokerage CalRock, compared with $14.30 a barrel...

And there is that $14 dollar US advantage that the US was touting wrt the Venezuelan oil.

Just consider it the mark up necessary to get our product to market. 33% to give the US a 25% margin to cover handling and refining and generate a healthy commission.

that price for WCS they are quoting is in Hardisty.
Are they quoting WTI in Hardisty or is it Cushing or Houston?
