What isn't said is that in 2008 an urgent order of 24 Australian bushmasters was ordered by the UK for operations in Afghanistan.

With Anzac day coming up, we should remember the Brits have paid the price, as well.

2008 I believe the British Army went with the Jackal

As has been pointed out many times when similar subjects have come up.
Its not that the land Rover (Snatch or Wolf) were a rubbish design, they were just built for a different purpose and warefare of an era gone by.
Round 2005 really did see a different style of threat as in the IED.
