May 2nd, 2013. Apparently the Afghanistan Talibans have developed the means to damage a British built Mastiff MRAP so severely that the three man crew inside died from the effects of the IED. Apparently the British Army (and I suspect our Army) will analyze how the vehicle's defenses were penetrated. I was trying to figure out how to transmit the link to this post, but I am not swift enough, so look under "British Mastiff Armored car damage by Talibans" and you will find several sources in Britain, including David Cameron's remarks on the matter. Sad to say, it seems that the only safe vehicle in Afghanistan is a B-52, as they don't have SAMs yet to hit those. Time to let them have at each other and whoever wins....wins. IMHOP
