    I think the direct replacement for the Land Rover is the G class

    The Hawkei seems to more like a rival for the Humvee.

    'Despite its long and proven service, the Land Rover offers minimal protection against the type of threat certain to be encountered in any future conflict - landmines, improvised explosive devices and gunfire.'

    And what do they face now? Arrows and stones?
