Hey guys, I'm new to SteelSoldiers. Not sure if this were the appropriate place to post a news article I found.
In Singapore, there's talk of the US military customising a variant of the Bronco All-Terrain Tracked Carrier (ATTC) for future operations in the Arctic.
The Bronco family of ATTCs has made its way around the world, braving different terrain and climates for more than 20 years.
Most notably is the British Army's Warthog All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), a variant of the older Bronco 2 ATTC, which was developed in partnership between Singapore and the United Kingdom. Ever since the first Warthog ATV was rolled out in war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, it has proven itself to be a worthy successor to the Viking ATV, notably by surviving numerous IED attacks. Since delivery back in 2009, the Warthog has reportedly encountered more than 30 IED attacks with zero fatalities recorded. Today, the Warthog ATV has somewhat taken a backseat from direct combat operations it seems, but its impact on the British Army is still appreciated.
The Bronco 3 has recently been chosen as one of the contenders for the US Army’s cold-weather, all-terrain vehicle program - check out this article to have a look at the Bronco 3 in action at one of its arctic trials.

What do you guys think of this development? Is it wise for the US military to have their own variant of the Bronco 3 ATTC in the arctic?
Also, any former users of the Bronco ATTCs or Warthog ATVs around? Would appreciate it if you guys could share your experiences while working with those vehicles.
