The first Bulldog armoured fighting vehicles are already on the streets of Basra, and the new Mastiff vehicle will be delivered to theatre less than a year after the requirement was identified. That is a truly impressive performance by the MoD and industry.

Mate of mine was doing the upgrades on the 432 (bulldog) he said its not a bad bit of kit. Guess time will tell.

Yup, Bulldog looks good and the boys seem to like it. A huge step forward from what it was. Has anyone seen Mastiff out and about yet?

Mastiff!! By fcuk it's big, just had a good look round one today but they are not yet rolled out fully operationally, and due to it's size there are a number of H&S limitations placed upon it.

Given the fantastic work they are doing and the number of casualties this Brigade is suffering on OP TELIC could the mods consider renaming this thread? It was a mildly amusing pun when the Bde was training, but as they are now in contact seems to be ill judged. I am sure I will be met with howls of objection as we attempt to sponsor a free internet, but it is a bit insensitive to any bereaved or injured families who may look to this website for solace.

Just ignoring this logic, or hoping the issue will go away?
