Ukraine appreciates the Bushmaster ..

[@regregan6852]

Only just sorting the hawkei issues now...

[@coreydark8795]

If Thales was smart they'd be pushing the Austrlian Goverment and Army to buy the brand new model of Bushmaster to replace the exsisting ageing fleet on a 1 for 1.5 basis. From there that would allow Australia and Thales to give to Ukrian. A few more hawkies would't hurt either. Austrlian Government and Thales need to push for more sales too keep the lines open. Maybe hit up NZ and see if they want to add onto their current order?

[@regregan6852]

NZ has an option to buy 15 more bushmasters built into the current contract (I'm guessing those green ones could well be the NZ versions). I think NZ still needs an armoured vehicle in the hawkei size range, bushmaster will be overkill and too big for some applications currently done by the armoured pinzgauers.

Why should we give shit to Eukraine!

Ukraine advancing towards Kiev lol

In the event of a global war this place will be a target...

[@flaminiasantuzzi231]

So what? Better not to do anything? What the fk is with this mentality?

[@damolux3388]

Lucky its a very long way from any threats making it harder, but not impossible to strike.

[@Warhead-haggis]

Why are you selling military grade Thales equipment to Indonesia? Who uses your equipment to target civilians in Papua New Guinea... thus allowing American corporate strip mining in the region.

[@benjaminthistle6637]

It's good theirs a establish system production line, I like to think five times the numbers of vehicle between Bushmaster an hawkei I would run five lieutenant generals to be democratic an prepared, the lieutenant general has 1,125 sargent so I say 5 times that is 5,625 vehicle we realistically need, I endorse the hawkei an Bushmaster, hawkei needs better brakes if a better braking system can be developed they are a good looking vehicle
