French MRAP: Nexter Aravis



OK, nothing in particular against the French--the vehicle looks nice enough in a Force Protection Ocelot kind of way--but about midway through the video when it says "Remarkable Mission Efficiency" and the next image shows five passenger seats with two facing the other three?  That's great if the mission is looking at one another, I guess.  But maybe that's come to be the standard for MRAPs.  Allowing the passengers to directly aim fire at attackers could automatically cut down on their protections, I suppose.

Go France.  Yay, science.

    The layout in American MRAPs is also with seats facing each other.

    Thanks, Jon, and I'm really not surprised. But it's still an odd image in terms of mission efficiency.
