A generous order of Navistar's MaxxPro vehicle helped that model achieve the photographic equivalent of MRAP rock-star status over the past six months or so. The RG-33 has made a respectable showing, though I'd judge it less than the media presence of the Cougar and the MaxxPro.
Still, the most-ignored MRAP vehicle with the largest U.S. order is the Armor Holdings (BAE) Caiman. Photos have been difficult to come by--Prior to today I had not noticed any published by the mainstream media. France's national press, Agence France-Presse (aka AFP) today placed the photo of an array of Caimans next to a story about deploying MRAPs in large numbers to Afghanistan.
It's too much to assume that the picture serves to indicate that the Caiman in particular will end up in Afghanistan. Strange marriages of photo with story from the past illuminate that point effectively enough.
