    It's kind of cute. I suppose it has a bit more room inside than Scimitar. More room for stores etc. I wonder if the back door is still functional and if the turret crew can get in and out without having to go through the top hatches (reduced signature when in a static position)
    I am a horrible civilian-type, but I work in the industry and hang around here to get some insight.

    OPSEC does apply to the story.

    Nah, it's a tray for tea and biscuits, as opposed to electronics that we can't talk about. Actually the wagon puts me in mind of the 432 with Scimitar turret.

    You'll need to tell the people at 'missing-lynx.com' as they've already revealed the name and why it's being made.

    You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. However, you can bl**dy well make it wish it had!

    Just to be a pedant I think it was a CVR(W) Fox turret not a Scimitar.
