Well I'm glad to see it's a hybrid vehicle, but still worried about the particulates from that diesel engine (although to be fair it's probably Euro7 compliant).

Looks a bit mechanically exposed to me. Not as rugged as it's clothing pretends. I reckon even a minor physical or chemical impact to those track rods would render this vehicle inoperable very quickly. A well-aimed motor shot would be catastrophic, and against an IUD I reckon it hasn't got a chance.

If its steel- clad (and not some bulket-proof plastics), it would need to be really, really, REALLY powerful EMP. Reason being- 99% of that EMP will dissipate on armour before it reaches electronics. So.. Armour will get slightly warm (from EMP energy) Jake, hike up the A/C, will you. And put your foot down, we need to make it to base before all good chow is gone.
