This is being written from TK.

The purpose of the investigation was to determine:

a. if there was a charge to be heard; and
b. at what level it was to be heard.

The investigation supported that a charge be heard, and that it is to be heard here within the Command of TFU in Tarin Kowt. It ain’t over yet.

The Fennek is an IEDD magnet. The only NDF vehicle that has been struck by an IEDD and, in which there were no injuries, has been a Bushmaster. All other IEDD strikes on NDF vehicles have resulted in death and injuries….you make your choice.

Don’t crap on about IR Spectrum reduction. Do you think the Taliban has IR detection technology?

These reconnaissance troops have one of the best recce vehicles available today at their disposal. It’s called the Fennek, it has a small silhouette, has cooling elements in it’s armour panels so that it’s visibility in the IR spectrum is greatly reduced and one of the most important features it has a sensor mast that has powerful cameras for observing enemy movement. A Bushmaster is a great vehicle, it would however not be suitable for recce troops.
