Most reliable piece of british kit - vehicles
Looking at youtube at various bits of kit I was wondering what we would classify as out most reliable bit of kit?
The Germans have Leo2, adopted by most EU nations
The Russians still using AK variants, some countries still using T34's
Every unit I have been to no matter how the kit was maintained I can't for the life of me say, that wagon is perfect, any ideas or experiences?Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in Selected Drive

Land Rover
Maybe the Land Rover which has been used in one form or another for decades and has proved to be a reliable platform.

Black nasty dispensers. Considering the beasting they get, it's a wonder they're not worn through.

In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.
