  • That's because the land rover is a dated design. Perhaps if the military invested some money then there would be a more suitable armoured vehicle.

    Off-road the land rover is better, it's what it was designed for. The hummer was specifically designed as a military vehicle then adapted for the commercial market.

    Late to the party but the hummer H2 is actually a GMC explorer (the worst 4x4 ever) with hummer body work and a beefier engine to make it more rugged and manly. The hummer H1 is a civilian adaption of the military vehicle and to be honest although they are better than the snatch LR at absorbing damage from an explosions they are not that much better. Vehicles that size cannot really carry the necessary amount of armour to cope with the size of explosion that is all to common in afghanistan, they are often multiple artillery shells rigged to detonate at he same time, there are still millions of the fuckers there as the soviets left massive munitions stockpiles when they pulled out.
