UK Replacing Under-armoured Vehicles

Now that the investigation spotlight is all over him, Gordon Brown has belatedly decided to replace the 'Snatch' Land Rovers with vehicles possessing some actual armor.

Gordon Brown flew into Afghanistan yesterday amid an escalating row over his support for British troops – and immediately announced a £100million plan to replace the notorious Snatch Land Rovers.
Just hours after he was criticised by former military leaders for squeezing defence spending while he was Chancellor, the Prime Minister told troops that he would do ‘everything necessary’ to support them with equipment.
But former Prime Minister Sir John Major accused Mr Brown of using the Armed Forces as a political prop.
