And these things are meant to be better than the Perentie? I bet they won’t be running around in 30 years either! On the bright side - it means that we can buy a Perentie!
I know some of you already know this, but was news for me and does come from reliable sources.
The Merc 4x4, 6x6 are deemed as Australia use only and wont be deployed overseas.
I was also told that service personal overseas in conflict zones are driving Land Cruisers, so both the good guys and bad are using land Cruisers, which may make one ponder why they simply didnt end up using Land Cruisers here in Australia.

The G wagen and the Perentie cannot be compared - G Wagen is a support vehicle where many versions of the Perentie were frontline, at least until we started to realise how vulnerable they were in modern insurgent type warfare.

The perentie hasn’t been used for patrols on deployments for some time so you can not compare with the g-wagon. A good mate of mine that has done five deployment into the hot zones, never once wished he had a Land Rover. ASLAV was his preferred method of cruising the battle fields....he doesn’t mind slipping back into a GMV in AUS.
The defence force will always need a fleet of un-armoured vehicles for training and domestic duties.....oh and Land Rover didn’t have an option. I would rather a G-Wagon over a perentie if I was still in for dumb arse exercises in Australia.
There is a lot of equipment the defence force use that doesn’t get deployed....take the new battle tank, it will never be deployed.
I wasn’t comparing. I’m aware Perenties on Os deployments were largely confined to base. I would be less wanting to be in a perentie110 than a GWagon with plates. I’ve seen a perentie 6x6 that hit a moderate IED.
I was saying in an age where use of big IEDs, why buy light armoured anything.
