bullseyebarb, I have been following closely all stories of shortages and substandard equipment. Land vehicles have been a topic of much discussion also. Obviously, this is not an isolated incident.

This is not the first conflict where the equiptment was not up to the job, as we are all aware sand and dust is the enemy of any motor vehicles, helicopters etc. To bring to mind a certain USA ill fated rescue attemt of hostages, suffered the same fate because the helicopters were not equipped to deal with the conditions. Also shortages are not just in equiptment, but skilled engineers to repair what the army already have, shortages come in many disguises.
