Humvee ===> Cobra

If it had been a snake, it would have bitten me.

Turns out that the Turks have been using a vehicle built from AM General basics (Humvee parts, that is), into a combat vehicle that shares some characteristics with the Force Protection Cheetah. That is, a V-shaped hull and a curb weight well below the current crop of MRAP vehicles. The Turks call it the Cobra.

The unfolding of the JLTV competition should prove interesting.
