Unless I'm reading the details in the description wrong, the body is likely just a training mockup and not actual MRAP armor. So you have everything that sucks about MRAPs without the one thing they supposedly offer?
Or am I missing something? |

It's most likely a viz mod built to make sure that the units were compatible with the airlift commands aircraft. Wouldn't do to build a couple thousand units only to find they aren't air transportable. The fact it's at wright Patterson might be a giveaway to its use lol

It's not very scientific. |

They have more than one there. I saw them when I picked up a couple M105A2 trailers a while ago. I asked about them and the counter guy said they're neat looking, but that's all they're good for. It's only a training mockup, thin steel troop compartment.
